Mariska was originally from Czechoslovakia. She met Samuel while he was stationed there as part of the American occupation following the country's liberation from German annexation. Unable to make a joint return to the United States due to immigration troubles, the couple took job offers as rail workers for the Atlantic Express in Rapture. While in the city, they conceived a daughter named Masha, who knew nothing of life above the surface. When the construction of the railway finished, many of menial employees were let off, including the the Lutzs, forcing them into a life of poverty in an over-crowded tenement flat in Artemis Suites.
Sometime during the early stages of the Rapture Civil War, Masha was taken by Andrew Ryan's men while playing with her friend Sophie in Arcadia, saying they needed her to save the city. They led her to become a Little Sister to collect ADAM. One day, Mariska saw her daughter walking with a Big Daddy and thought she was gone mad from grief. Mariska left a tape recorder at Neptune's Bounty with a record containing the code to the door, where she and her husband were waiting for their daughter to return.
Mariska and Samuel's worst fears were confirmed when they saw first-hand that Masha had become a Little Sister. In their despair, they committed suicide via an overdose of pills in their room in Neptune's Bounty. Their corpses, still hugging one another on a mattress, can be found inside their room by Jack at The Fighting McDonagh's Tavern during BioShock.
