**Series**

Luke is featured in the following series:

* Game of Pain (POVs)

* The Dark Year (POVs)
* Flares (POVs)

**Early Life**

Luke was raised in a cellar by his mother, never allowed to leave. He was subjected to fourteen years of mental, physical and sexual abuse by her and the men she would invite over, and it was her means of punishing him for being born because that caused her to lose her powers. She would torture him regularly and bring men in to rape him in front of his little sister. She murdered his sister, Rosie, who was eight years younger than him and died at the age of six, out of anger and he killed her and was rescued by Kate and Kirk and brought to Yggdrasil.

**Personality**

In the start of the series, Luke is a quiet, young boy who is nice, caring and wise despite his youth and he makes good decisions. He is rarely judgmental or rude and usually seems a bit innocent to those who don't know him, but in actuality he is emotional and gets upset easily, which can trigger his severe depression. As he gets older, he is braver and less of a pushover, usually fighting for himself and he is more than okay with starting arguments if he thinks somebody is being stupid. He has depression and wants to kill himself a little too often, and he had I.E.D and would sometimes get incredibly violent and angry, lashing out at whoever is in the way. He also was bipolar and would usually be depressed and miserable, though at other times could be strangely happy, though not very frequently. He no longer has I.E.D. or bipolar disorder and the majority of his depression was cured.

**Appearance**

Luke is 5'11, but scrawny. He has messy blondish-brown hair and heterochromia, so one eye is brown and one is blue. In The Spiral #1, The Viking Lord and The Spiral #2, Wolf Blood, Luke has a metal left arm from the elbow down, but in The Spiral #3, The World Tree, he has his real arm back. He wears a metal knee brace on his left knee after his injury gets considerably worse in Flares.

Luke has scars on his arms and wrists from suicide attempts, a scar on his right hand and wrist from a car accident starting in The Dark Year, and a one inch scar on his left shoulder from his mother stabbing him with a steak knife. He has several long gashes on his back from his mother torturing him, as well as a rounded scar on his left side from the Midgard Serpent in Wolf Blood. He has a small scar in the middle of both his chest and back from Alda stabbing him, as well as scars on his stomach from his mother repeatedly stabbing him as a child.
