## Appearance

Luther has long grey hair pulled back into a braid and sly grey eyes. He always wears cracked glasses. He's usually smirking.

## Personality

Luther is sarcastic, witty, and sometimes an ass. He was raised to be a free spirit and raise hell. Luther cares about his family, especially his nephew Tobias (aware of how Lucas treats him) and tries to help Tobias as well as he can. Luther has a plethora of vices but a good heart.

## History

Luther was raised by his father, separate from his twin brother Lucas. The twins' criminal father taught Luther to play by his own rules and be a rebel.

The twins’ father eventually reunited the two and scrammed a year later. Luther was initially excited to have a twin, considering all the mischief they could create together, but was disappointed to realize that Lucas was the opposite of Luther, a perfect quiet child who obeyed his mother and God completely. Luther frequently lashed out at Lucas as children.

Some traumatic incident happened to the twins when they were children, which Luther states fundamentally changed Lucas.

As teenagers, Luther encouraged Lucas to go out with a girl named Charlotte, who had a crush on Lucas at the time. Soon after this Charlotte was found dead. After finding Lucas with a lock of Charlotte’s hair, Luther began to suspect that Lucas killed her. A few years after this there was an incident involving Luther's soulmate, Holly. Luther doesn't go into detail about it, but it was very obviously traumatic and seems to have influenced his personality years afterwards. Just thinking about Holly sends Luther into a panic.

Later in life Luther went to a rehab clinic.

## Relationships

### Lucas Schneien

Lucas and Luther are pretty much opposites in all regards. But despite their differences, the twins still care about each other. While Luther is shown beating up Lucas as a child, he is also seen defending him. Luther lists Lucas as "fuckface" in his phone, but he still picks up when he calls.

Luther has a strong dislike for Lucas’s parenting style, even going as far as trying to convince Suzie to make him change, but can’t get through to his brother.

### Tobias Schneien

Tobias is Luther’s nephew, and appears to be the nephew he spends the most time with. Luther cares about Tobias and knows how Lucas abuses his son, but is helpless to stop that part of Tobias’s life, so he tries to bring light into Tobi’s life in other ways.

Luther genuinely wants Tobias to be safe and happy. However, some of the ways he does so are highly irresponsible - giving a child a switchblade, getting drunk - and lead to bad outcomes for Tobi.

### Jane

Jane is Luther’s wife. It’s suggested that she’s one of the people that helped convince Lucas to send Tobias to school.

Jane and Luther appear to get along well and have a similar sense of humor - they canonically make bets on how Lucas is going to react to certain situations.

### Maddie

Maddie is Luther’s daughter. They have a close relationship, and the one time she’s appeared so far Luther is shown braiding Maddie’s hair.
