Rook Lunera

*For the episode, see Rook Lunera.*

Jay Lunera (Sister)

Rook Lunera is a human wizard. He is a member of High Hopes and was created by Matt Kemp.

## Description

### Appearance

Rook is one of the few humans in the party, standing at 5'10 with brown fluffy slightly disheveled hair that's kept long. He has pale skin, a scar across his left eye making him blind in that eye. His eye color is light blue but since he got the scar in chapter 2 his blind eye is now grey as a result. He has a bit of stubble that seems to be thinner and thicker in some frames but that may just be an animating thing (it sometimes disappears completely)

He wears a dress shirt underneath his robes, supposedly white. His robes are long and green much like most of his outfit and in chapter 1 and 2 he seems to be wearing either 2 serapes or another layer on top of said robes as we don't see the green of his robes but instead light brown like his arm braces(?). He wears dark green pants and has lighter green boots. He carries a brown messenger bag over his shoulder, the strap stays above his serape. He's never seen wearing in the series but it's assumed he wears it when outside and not indoors with the party. His spellbook was attached to his belt on his back around his waist in the past, but after an unnamed incident he wears it strapped to his chest.

### Personality

Rook is always interested in a puzzle and working things out and he will often use magic in ways most people would never think to. He’s considerate and wants to do the right thing, but often over thinks things, because he’s so desperate to get it right. He can get frustrated in these instances.

Having said all this, he is pretty well known in the party for saying “fuck it” and doing it anyway.

## Biography

### Background

Rook was born in Imereloth, the capital of Knothol. He is the son of Krestel Lunera and Shrike Lunera. He is also the older brother of Jay Lunera.

When he was 18 years old, Rook's parents were killed by a group working for Ernest Drake while they were seemingly looking for him and Jay. Knowing they couldn't return home, the siblings hid underneath the city for the next two years, somehow always scrounging up enough food and coin to get by. Unfortunately, Rook returned one evening to find that Jay had been taken and one of Drake's men was waiting for him. They fought until sunrise before the attacker ultimately retreated.

Without Jay around, Rook became careless and eventually found himself attempting to pick the pocket of an old nobleman. The man, however, turned out to be Sareth, an old acquaintance of Rook's father. Taking pity on him, Sareth took him on as his apprentice. During his apprenticeship, he met Rosa Zahradny, a woman that Sareth had also taken in as an apprentice. Eventually, Rook and Rosa fell in love. One night, however, after Sareth and Rosa returned from their regular trip to Imereloth, Sareth was strangely quiet and went to bed without eating. That same night, more of Drake's men arrived to Sareth's tower. A fight ensued, resulting in Rook's eye injury. After eventually defeating the attackers, Rook and Rosa discovered Sareth's body. The pair, desperate for justice, decided to set out and find Jay, in hopes of finding Drake.

Eventually, their search led them to Faberston, a town where they believed Drake was using to smuggle slaves. Upon their arrival, however, the two were attacked and almost killed, had it not been for the sudden arrival of a dragon. Taking advantage of their enemy's surprise, the two made a swift escape. For the next couple days, the two walked in silence until ultimately going their separate ways. Afterward, Rook headed to Imardin, hoping to find magic that would help him find Jay, and ran into the band of heroes known as High Hopes.

### Chapter 1: Paddy Whitlaw

In Runedar's only inn, Rook arrives to great acclaim from the rest of his party before meeting Paddock Whitlaw, a wood elf bearing a message from Rosa.

### Chapter 2: Rook Lunera

Rook sits with the rest of the party with Paddy at a table. Rook spends the episode telling his sad backstory to Paddy, though it's been stated that this isn't what happened in game and this is just for the audience.

## Relationships

### Rosa Zahradny

Rook met Rosa while they trained under Sareth together. At first, they were wary of each other's presence, but, over time, the two fell in love. After Sareth's death, the pair set out to find Rook's sister, in hopes they would find Drake and avenge their master. After almost being killed, however, the two decided to go their separate ways, effectively ending their romance.
