## Biography

#### Early Life

Lucian Graymark grew up in Idris with his parents and older sisters, Amatis and Cleophas. When he was still very young, his mother left her family to become an Iron Sister, leaving Luke to be raised by his sisters. Meeting her when he was young, Luke became best friends with Jocelyn Fairchild. When they were old enough, he and Jocelyn were sent to Alicante to train and attend Academy there.

He befriended Valentine Morgenstern and eventually became his parabatai. He became Valentine's second-in-command and his most trusted adviser, sharing those duties with Maryse Trueblood.

Jocelyn and Valentine got married; Luke had been the best man at their wedding.

When Valentine's ideas became more radical, Luke and Jocelyn desperately tried and secretly plotted ways to bring him back from the brink. During this time, when Valentine pulled away from both of them, he and Jocelyn became much closer and fell in love, but the pair never acted on their feelings because of their love for Valentine. Nonetheless, Valentine became suspicious and believed that they were having an affair. Valentine vengefully took Luke with him on a fake mission, where he trapped Luke in a building full of werewolves that soon Turned him. A heavily wounded Luke, whose injuries received from the wolves ensured that he would Turn, went to Jocelyn. Luke attempted to kill himself while Jocelyn looked after his wounds, but she convinced him to live and fight and learn to one day accept his new fate.

After he Turned, he was disowned by his family. Luke stayed for six months at a farm, where he found himself healing emotionally. He also received some help from the Praetor Lupus.

After the Circle staged the Uprising, a battle that left several Shadowhunters and Downworlders dead, Valentine successfully stole the Mortal Cup. Luke confronted Valentine, who called him an abomination and told him that he should have killed himself instead of allowing himself to Turn. Just before Valentine could kill Luke, Jocelyn arrived and led him away. Luke did not see Jocelyn for a while after that and believed that Valentine had killed her.

After reuniting with Jocelyn in New York, he became an honorary member of the Fray family, acting as a father figure to Jocelyn's young daughter, Clary, and her best friend Simon. Jocelyn and Luke fell out of love somewhere in the eighteen years after Clary's birth, but he remained a close friend of the family.

### Hunt for the Cup

In 2016, Luke and his partner Alaric began investigating a string of demonic murders that they knew were somehow connected to the Shadow World. He and Alaric tried to get on top of it to prevent the mundanes, particularly his boss Captain Vargas from catching onto its supernatural nature.

When remaining members of the Circle came to New York and found Jocelyn, Luke was their next stop. Luke insisted that he did not know where the Mortal Cup was, and, in an effort to get rid of them as well as to dissuade them from looking for Clary, told them that he did not care for them and only stuck around to get the Cup for the werewolves. Unbeknownst to him, Clary was at the station and overheard him.

Checking up on the Frays the next day, he found their shop and home ransacked, and Clary's bedroom burned. He collected Clary and Jocelyn's possessions to safeguard them and kept the things at the station. Meanwhile, Luke was under pressure in the pack to find Clary and the Cup. At the same time, his superiors at the precinct had him under the microscope because the Circle members who interrogated him turned up dead, and they were thought to be witnesses Luke brought in to interview; while Luke did kill one while looking into Valentine's plans, the other was in fact killed by Shadowhunter Jace Wayland.

He lost contact with Clary, who still believed that Luke did not care about them. When Luke couldn't contact his partner Alaric, he suspected that the pack had gotten ahold of Clary and traced his car. He found Clary imprisoned in a cargo container at the pier. Clary tried to fend him off, but Luke was too strong and fast for her and he carried her off. The other pack members, under Theo's leadership, blocked their path. To permanently protect Clary, Luke fought Theo, officially challenging his leadership. He killed Theo, making him the pack's new alpha, but the battle left him severely injured after he was bitten by Theo—the alpha's bite was poisonous and had fatal effects.

Clary and the others took him to the High Warlock of Brooklyn, Magnus Bane, as Luke became bedridden from the negative effects of the bite, alternating between unconsciousness and screaming in pain. The warlock helped him recover with his concoctions and magic until he finally woke. Luke finally told Clary about his, Jocelyn, and Valentine's past. Upon finally revealing that she had a brother that died in a fire, part of Clary's powers were unlocked and she realized that the Cup was most probably hidden in the Ace of Cups tarot card that was part of the deck Jocelyn drew for Dot.

With the card being among the things Luke took from the Fray home and hid in his desk at the precinct, things were complicated by the arrival of Ned Fisk, an agent sent to investigate Luke in connection to the demonic murders and the deaths of his "witnesses". Luke was unable to retrieve the card himself, so Clary and Jace came in to steal the card from evidence. Later, his boss and friend Susanna Vargas was killed in the precinct. While he was suspected for a while, he was let off as Luke had a solid alibi during Vargas's time of death.

### Rescuing Jocelyn

When Clary's best friend, and a good friend of Luke's, Simon Lewis was Turned into a vampire, Luke gave him some tips to help him adjust to his new life, while also assuring Clary—who had decided to make Simon completely Turn instead of letting him die—that it wouldn't spell the end of Simon's life.

With Luke now the head of the pack, he had additional resources due to his control over the werewolves in New York. He agreed to help the Nephilim in their plan to let Meliorn escape Clave custody, though the plan involved vampires, who did not get along well with others, especially werewolves. In the end, they still managed to work together and distract the Shadowhunters enough to release Meliorn.

Meanwhile, Simon helped get IA off his back. While Luke and the others knew that the "demonic murders" had been Valentine's doing, the mundanes are still unaware, and Luke became a prime suspect due to Fisk's suspicions. To close the case, Luke had Simon pretend to be the serial killer. They abducted Fisk, and Luke shot Simon. Because Simon was undead and, though still alive, had no pulse, the case was closed with the belief that the killer was dead.

Meanwhile, with the card safely in Clary's hands, their goal shifted, primarily to saving Jocelyn from Valentine. Valentine, in the form of Michael Wayland, tricked Jace, Clary, and Luke into going to Renwick's, where they found Jocelyn but were confronted by Valentine, who had shapeshifted back from Michael's form. Valentine attempted to take the Cup, but Clary tricked him by giving him a fake. Though Valentine was able to escape, Jocelyn's body was left behind, allowing the group to bring her back to the Institute.

It was a while before the group got ahold of the cure: a spell from the Book of the White which, after the book was retrieved, Magnus Bane performed for them. Jocelyn was awakened, and Luke reunited with her at last.

### Reunited with Jocelyn

After Valentine took Jace, Victor Aldertree arrived and took control of the Institute from Lydia Branwell. One of his first acts had been to ban Downworlders from the Institute, including Luke, despite his loyalty and status as a former Shadowhunter. Despite this, he and Jocelyn and Clary remained in contact.

Luke also took in Simon, who until then had been staying at the Institute. He let him stay at the Jade Wolf; though the resident wolves refused to be around the vampire and kicked the boy out and into the boathouse.

Luke grew frustrated with Jocelyn’s keeping of secrets and the way she used his relationship with Clary to fix her own wrongdoings.

After finding Gretel's body on the shore, he tried to keep the pack, and more specifically Maia Roberts, under control, as they demanded revenge. He then received a phone call from Lydia Branwell, warning her that the Clave, in the person of Victor Aldertree, was demanding his cooperation in hunting for Jace, the alleged killer.

He kept Maia from going after Jace as much as possible, going so far as using his alpha powers on her and Taito when they were able to ambush them. He then took Maia in, after Jace was arrested by the Clave.

A couple of weeks after, he learned from Clary that Jocelyn had been reassigned to Idris, and that she wasn't planning on resisting.

## Personality and Traits

Luke prefers to resolve issues by talking through them rather than encouraging conflict and risking bloodshed, as well as properly investigating before making rash decisions. However, he is not past facing off adversaries and does not hesitate to punish those who cross a line, even if they mean something to him.

Being Alpha of his pack, Luke maintains an air of authority and control. He also has paternal instincts towards younger Downworlders, having guided several to find themselves, and cares for Clary and Simon as their father figure.

He is irritated by people poking their noses where they shouldn't, and when people risk the lives of others thoughtlessly. Luke will resort to force if it means stopping someone from doing something he disagrees with or believes that will put too much at risk.
