## Biography

### Early Life

#### Childhood

Lucas Joaquin Stabryla was born on the evening of the 22nd of March 1847 to parents Louisa Stab and Achilles Stab in what would become Wyoming USA, during the closing years of the Jacksonian Era. He also had a brother called Harold Charles Stab who was older than Luke by 2 years.

The Stabryla family were very rich, Achilles was a scientist/government official and he owned a huge manor house beside a large picturesque
lake.

The family lived like Kings in the house which was complete with an array of servants to wait on them hand and foot, Harry and Luke were very close from the moment Luke was born with Harry claiming that “My brother is my best friend, Ill never let anyone hurt him.”

In 1850 Luke’s mother gave birth to another child, a daughter named Eliza who looked very similar to Luke.

Luke spent most of his childhood on the family's large plot of land, it was there he first learned to hunt, fish, shoot, ride horses and swim. His best friend was his brother Harry, the two were inseparable throughout their childhood. He was privately tutored and thus never attended school, he became very intelligent over his many years of tutelage under his tutor Peter Johnson.

#### The End of Innocence

By 1861, Luke was 14 years of age, he and his brother were both intelligent, strong and skilful young men who had discovered that they possessed the ability to heal

rapidly from almost any wound, which they seemed to have inherited from their mother, however their sister had become a very sickly and timid child.

    The two had grown to heavily admire their father, with Luke one day hoping to follow in his father’s governmental footsteps by becoming an agent of the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Achilles spent numerous hours teaching his sons about how to survive in the world, primarily instilling his ideals and morals into his sons.

The same year a number of strange occurrences befell the Sanders family, beginning with the mysterious torching of their stable house on one particular Summer night. None of these events aroused suspicion, until one afternoon wherein a strange man dressed in a large top hat and gentleman’s suit came knocking on the manor
door, only to be met by Achilles. He immediately stated that he was working on
behalf of the “Order of the Serene Understanding” and went on to demand that Achilles handed over “The Immortals” so that they could both go about their business peacefully. Achilles, aware that he was most likely referring to his wife and children, refused the man’s order and turned him away from the door.

Harry did not turn a blind eye to this event, unlike his brother who had seemed to have
gone on without linking any of the strange incidents together.

Before the family could fully comprehend the well-veiled threat, tragedy struck. On the night of October 18th 1861, thirty-five members of the Serene Understanding cult launched a vicious attack on the Manor grounds, each clad in black robes lined along the arms with crimson velvet and armed with medieval
swords and roman-style daggers.

The attack was swift, brutal and effective, the cult was able to rapidly massacre the majority of the Manor’s guards, servants and workers, torching the fields and buildings of the grounds as they did so. Eventually the Cult was able to capture Eliza, who had been playing in the barn, this forced Achilles to leave the safety of the Manor’s walls and join the fighting in order to save his daughter. Though his sons rallied to help him, Achilles was firm and unwavering in ordering them to pack their possessions and flee so
that they may survive. Despite initially being reluctant to leave their family behind, a few comforting and reassuring words from their mother convinced them of the need to flee.

The two proceeded to pack their bags full of treasured possessions, photographs, provisions and attire. The two then said a warm goodbye to their mother, who gave them $4000 in cash, gold and jewellery as well as several concealable firearms and melee weapons before sending them on their way. The two quickly departed on horseback, upon
reaching a safe distance from their home the two looked back at the manor which was now aflame. A body bearing the resemblance of their father was sprawled on the front entrance to the manor, while their mother and sister were nowhere to be seen.

### The West and the War

From there the two of them fled all across the United States, they were initially pursued by several assassins, workers and bounty hunters employed by the cult to bring them back to him for experimentation. They were able to escape Wyoming in the first month on the run and spent the next two years travelling East. When they reached Pennsylvania in 1863 the two decided to enlist in the Union Army to fight against The Confederacy in the American Civil War.

The two served until the war ended in 1865, having fought in various important historical battles such as Gettysburg and the Second Bull Run. At the end of the war they found themselves in Kentucky, where they stayed until 1867 working as ranchers on a large Kentucky ranch. This period ended when their father, now leading "The Cult of Achilles" a cult who followed a religion based on the prospect of achieving immortality, discovered their location in Kentucky.

The cult led all 60 members in an assault on the ranch in order to find his sons, the ranch was burned down with most of its workers and inhabitants killed, Luke and Harry sustained serious injuries but were able to escape into a nearby forest. From their they fled Kentucky and went on the run across America.

As the years progressed found new hiding spots, workplaces and places to live all across the United States. The two journeyed mostly in the Old West and joined a gang of outlaws for a short period in 1870-72.

    Luke and Harry obtained two revolvers in 1873 from their maternal grandfather, who was 400 years old, who they had visited for a short time in Texas. The revolvers were “twin revolvers” with one being known as “The Wolf” due to its wolf engraving in the handle and the other being known as “The Eagle” due to its eagle engraving. Luke became the owner of “The Eagle” which fitted his personality, and Harry became the owner of “The Wolf” which also somewhat fitted his personality.

The two went on various undocumented adventures over the next few decades, with most of the events of this time period remaining mostly a mystery. (TBA)

The two remained in the USA until 1917 when they joined the army once again and
were shipped off to France to fight in the First World War. It was here that the government first documented their mutation as a Commanding Officer had observed Harry taking machine gun fire and surviving via regeneration, this was the first time the government recorded the possible existence of mutants.

### 1918-1945

After returning to the USA
in 1918 Luke and Harry began working as hitmen for an Italian Mafia in NYC, it
was here that the two first began to hone their combat skills and Luke became a
highly skilled knife fighter and used his revolver “The Eagle." They also both bought an appartment in NYC which they lived in during this period.

In
1927 the brothers stopped working for the Italian Mafia. While leaving the city on a train heading for New
Orleans the pair were attacked by three assassins sent by the cult, their first real encounter in decades, the
pair ultimately defeated two of the assassins but a third managed to escape
with a vial of Luke’s blood which led to the cult creating serum 52-B “The
Blue Serum” which was capable of killing Luke and Harry if inflicted upon them
at a high dose.

### Joining the SSR

In 1945, during the closing days of the Second World War, Luke was recruited to the Strategic Scientific Reserve, the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D., by it's leader Chester Philips. Luke was recruited due to his skill in both strategy and combat, which Philips observed personally during the D-Day Landings. He was given the rank of agent and was soon stationed in the Washington D.C. Headquarters of the Reserve's East Coast Division, serving under Division Chief Jack Thompson while also working closely with Agent Margaret Carter and Senior Agent John Flynn.

His achievements during his time in the SSR include the arrest and subsequent conviction of Soviet sleeper agent "Dottie Underwood" aswell as for his work in the field of acquiring military and scientific documents formerly in the possession of HYDRA. He also accompanied Howard Stark on his search for Captain America, shortly after the V-E Day. Though Stark's expedition was unsuccessful in finding Rogers, it did result in the discovery of the Tesseract, lying on the floor of the ocean after falling out of the *Valkyrie* during the crash.

Luke is recognised as having served as one of the SSR's most skilled agent's for several of the post-war years.

He eventually resigned in 1951 shortly after the formation of S.H.I.E.L.D in order to pursue his past career in the United States Marine Corps. He was deployed in the ongoing Korean War only a week after re-enlisting.

### Marine Corps/Post-War Years

> *"Imagine a Leader who fought his own battles.... wouldn't that be a sight?"*
>
> —Luke Stab, 1952

Luke was quickly reinstated as a Sergeant in the Marine Corps and was given a squadron of young American troops to command. He would go on to serve in some of the most key battles in the Korean War, such as the Battle of Kapyong, the Battle of Chosin Reservoir and the Battle of Heartbreak Ridge, utilising his decades of battle experience and acquired knowledge throughout the war. His most notable accomplishment during the Korean War was the successful rescue of thirty South Korean POW's, all of whom escaped with their lives.

Following the declared stalemate of the Korean Conflict in 1953, Luke was briefly deployed in the Philippines during the Hukbalahap Rebellion aswell as in China during the First Indochina War. This came at the direct request of General Douglas MacArthur, who had been made aware of Luke's skill in command during the Korean Conflict.

In 1955 Luke took a well earned leave-of-absence, choosing to travel all across the United States with his brother Harry for several years, taking up many part-time jobs and experiencing many classic adventures during this time.

He was briefly called back into service by S.H.I.E.L.D in 1958, in order to assist with the ongoing Project Reclamation. Luke also assisted in the training of exiled Cuban counter-revolutionaries in preparation for the Bay of Pigs Invasion.

#### Vietnam

Luke returned to the Marine Corps yet again in 1963 at the height of the Vietnam War, immediately being promoted from his old position as Sergeant, to an operating Captain. He would go on to fight in several key battles and maneouvres, the most notable among them being the Battle of Pleiku, the Battle of Van Tuong, the Battle of Ia Drang, the Battle of Khe San and the Tet Offensive.

In 1965, while flying over a dense area of jungle on a routine reconnaissance op, Luke's squadrons Helicopter was shot down by an enemy Anti-Aircraft artillery gun. Luke was left stranded alone in the jungle for five weeks while simultaneously being hunted down by enemy troops and a plethora of the jungle's deadly inhabitants. During this period of time his wit and his will to survive as his only protectors, it was also here that he first learned to proficiently use a bow and arrow in modern combat

#### Return to the States

Luke once again resigned from his rank as a captain in the Marine Corps in 1969, reuniting with his brother Harry who had now taken up work as a Hollywood stunt-man, Harry later invited Luke to live with him at his home in Los Angeles. During his time in L.A. Luke became a typical late-60's socialite after taking up work with his brother as a stuntman, going on to work as a stunt double in several movies including "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", "The Wild Bunch", "Midnight Cowboy" and "Mean Streets". Luke also worked on several pictures as the stunt double of Hollywood actor and megastar Steve McQueen.

### The 1980's

Following his training from the Titan nicknamed "Mxy", Luke returned to the states, bringing along with him his new combat training. He was immediately recruited into the C.I.A as an Agent within a deep-cover "Black-Ops" Team, he was also given the callsign "Warpath".

#### New Allies

In the Summer of 2013, Luke was promoted to S.H.I.E.L.D Clearance Level 6 by Director Fury for his valiant actions during the Battle of New York. Following his promotion Luke's designation was changed to "Special Agent" and he was hence placed within Phil Coulsons' elite team of agents, it was around this time that he met a fellow Special Agent known as Jack Wane who also served under Coulsons' command, the two struck up a friendship almost immediately and would go on to work closely with each other in-and-out of the field of duty.

### Death and Resurrection

Shortly after the turn of the new Decade, a gruesome yet semi-honorable fate befell Luke. On the 1st February 2020, Luke was mortally wounded following an intense duel with a rogue former associate, who had managed to drive a Serum 52-B dipped sword into Luke's chest before being decapitated by a weakened Luke. His brother, Harry, was also murdered during the ensuing battle.

Luke's funeral was attended by his friends, teammates, family and even the President of the United States. Luke remained deceased for approximately 32 days only to be mysteriously resurrected in the dead of night, the circumstances as to how Luke's resurrection came to occur are still unknown.

#### Missing in Action

Following his presumed resurrection, Luke seemingly disappeared into metaphorical thin air. An operation was launched by fellow agents Jack Wane, Richard Wright and Michael Litchfield with the aim of locating Luke, or at least his remains, with the agents employing teams to scour each and every continent in hopes of finding their missing comrade. After two months of searching the operation was eventually called off by Director Fury, with Luke receiving the permanent designation of Missing in Action.

After several months of remaining missing, Luke Stab resurfaced in June of 2020, revealing that he had in fact been completing a secret mission given to him directly by the Federal Government.

### New Decade

As of 2020, Luke Stab continues his work as a S.H.I.E.L.D Special Agent with high hopes for the future of not only himself but his friends, family and country.

#### Transition to the Central Intelligence Agency

On December 27th 2020, Luke formally transferred from his position as a S.H.I.E.L.D Special Agent to a high ranking position in the Central Intelligence Agency. He currently serves as the Deputy Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, as well as serving as an adviser to his old friend the Governor of New York Jack Wane.

### Injured in Battle

At some point during the 21st Century Luke Sanders engages in a vicious, brutal and lengthy battle while deployed during an S.H.I.E.L.D field operation. During the battle, Luke sustains a gruesome and powerful attack which seemingly leaves him with permanent lasting damage to his spinal chord, right leg and right hip, further resulting in his combat ability being heavily impaired.

Luke is discharged from an S.H.I.E.L.D/ Field Hospital, now having to use a cane/walking stick to assist in his movement. Luke soon descends into a spiral of alcohol and drug misuse, resulting from the depression of losing his ability to fight and serve in the field, this dark period lasts for over a month until an old friend helps him to find a new job as a non-combatant.

From then on Luke embraces his new role, learning to now utilise his intelligence in the form of his expertise as a tactician and his extraordinary skill in strategical and logistical thinking in a far less combat heavy role.

### Central Intelligence Agency

Sometime in the late 2040's, Luke was offered the newly empty position of Deputy Director of Intelligence at the CIA due to his history of command in combat and his skill in logistics and strategical planning. He gratefully accepted this position.

By 2049, CIA Director Marcus Barnes was preparing to retire, soon-to-be inaugurated President-Elect Jack Wane nominated his close friend Luke Stab for the position of Director, a position which Luke once again graciously accepted. In March 2049 he officially became the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Luke went on to serve as the Director for several years, retaining his youth and charisma all throughout as a result of his healing factor.

### Secretary of Defense

In 2056, following several years of working closely with the Wane administration, Luke had built up a strong working relationship with the incumbent Vice President Thomas Whitmore. After Whitmore's victory in the 2056 Presidential Election, Whitmore privately offered Luke the positions of either Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense, of which Luke graciously accepted the latter.

In January of 2057 Whitmore publicly announced Luke as his Secretary of Defense, a position Luke would go on to serve in brilliantly throughout the Whitmore administration. During this time Luke was often compared to former Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, who happened to be a hero of Luke's, due to his similarity in influence and importance.

## Personality

Luke is an intelligent, charismatic, calculated and intuitive man. However he can also be dangerous and is known to be extremely deadly to those opposing him in combat. He is very athletic and has mastered several forms of martial arts as well as being skilled with weapons like katana's, bows and more.

He has a keen mind for strategy and combat techniques. He is a remarkable warrior and can be ruthless on the battlefield or in any combat situation, he is known to not hesitate in situations that involve killing and will defend those who he cares about to the end.

His hobbies include fishing, hunting and swimming. He enjoys drinking alcohol recreationally, preferably scotch whiskey, and is a smoker, preferably smoking Cuban cigars.

In 1863, during his service in the Civil War, Luke was a relatively quiet yet charismatic man who clearly carried the naivety, glow and strive of youthfulness. Over time he developed into a mature, knowledgeable yet headstrong and impulsive individual.

Politically, Luke is nonpartisan and routinely votes for whichever candidate he believes will do their best for the United States. Despite this he voted Republican in every Presidential Election from 1864 until 1932, when he broke this routine by voting for Democratic nominee Franklin Delano Roosevelt who he would vote for in the next three Presidential Elections. From then forward he voted for the eventual victorious candidate in each election apart from in 1976, when he voted for Ford over Carter, and in 2000 when he voted for Gore over Bush.

## Physical Appearance

Luke is around 5ft 11, he has mid-length blonde hair and hazel eyes. He has the build of a martial artist and is in Peak Human Condition. Over several decades Luke's hair has gradually become significantly more brown, by 2020 it is almost a completely different colour shade to how it originally appeared.

In 1861, at the dawn of the Civil War, Luke's hair was completely blonde and cut with a middle parting, allowing for his hair to grow out on both sides. During this time Luke mostly kept his hair at mid-length and rarely grew any facial hair. His eyes were also a far greener shade of Hazel during this period, standing out amongst even the most wooded battlefields. His build was significantly less muscled at the start of the Civil War compared to his modern physique, his skinny build at the time reflected the harsh circumstances which he was living through.

By 1895 Luke had grown into a well-built, strong individual after serving in several military conflicts and living on the American Frontier. His hair remained blonde, but he was now allowing it to grow further until it hung by his shoulders in some periods, he also allowed for his facial hair to grow out during this time, giving him a more rugged appearance.

Luke maintained his physique for the majority of the early 20th Century, deciding however to begin shaving all of his facial hair again after 1898 as well as cutting his hair to a short-mid length, resembling his modern self. Over the course of the middle 20th century Luke began to lose his bright blonde hair with it becoming a noticeable shade of dirty blonde by the time he became ready to serve with the SSR during the 1950's.

In 2020 Luke resembles a much more hardened version of himself, his hair has now completely lost it's blonde details and remains short-middle length, his hazel eyes often appear more yellow-green as oppose to emerald. He has his first noticeable scar located on his left arm as the result of a Serum-52b laced dagger piercing his arm. He now often wears a black suit or a casual blue hoodie and jeans, he almost always wears a pair of black aviator sunglasses with a Rolex on his left wrist.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Luke's body naturally regenerates most (if not all) damaged or destroyed tissue and organs at a rate which exceeds that of any normal human. The rate of regeneration is proportional to the damage caused. This process is automatic and Luke seems to have no control over it. Any damaged area or lost anatomy will be completely restored with no lingering side effects in minutes, even forcing objects embedded out to heal properly. Even if he clinically dies, he can quickly resuscitate himself, making him near-immortal. His healing factor, however, does not seem to stop Luke from feeling the pain of his wounds nor the pain of his body regenerating itself.
	+ **Decelerated Aging:** In addition, Luke's healing factor provides him with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process; Luke was born in 1847. Although well over 150 years of age, Luke retains the health, appearance and physical vitality of a man in the physical prime of his life.
	+ **Superhuman Durability:** Luke's body and tissue is far more durable than a normal human's. During his prime he has been repeatedly shot, stabbed, and has endured extreme blunt force trauma without passing out and barely being slowed down.
	+ **Containment Immunity:** Luke's natural healing also affords him virtual immunity to poisons, viruses, diseases, and most drugs.
	+ **Fatigue Resistance:** Luke is partially resistant to fatigue poisons produced from physical activity, such as Lactic Acid.
	+ **Psionic Resistance:** Luke is highly resilient, if not immune, to all but the most powerful of telepathic manipulation.
	+ **Enhanced Reflexes and Agility:** Luke's reflexes and agility are enhanced beyond the capabilities of the normal human body as a side-effect of his healing factor mutation.

Luke's healing factor has fluctuated in recent years, in some cases becoming much weaker than when he was in his prime around the 1930's. In August 2019 it took him several days to recover from three gunshot wounds, a feat that would normally be achieved in less than an hour.

### Abilities

* **Peak Human Condition:** As an experienced combatant and tactician, Luke Stab is in Peak Human Condition.

	+ **Expert Engineer:**
* **Weapon Mastery**
	+ **Knife Mastery:** Luke's preferred weapon in most situations are knives. Whether they are traditional combat knives, switchblades, daggers, throwing knives, bayonets or even karambits, Luke is undoubtedly unstoppable when he gets his hands on one.
	+ **Sword Mastery:** Under his training from Felix Gratel, Luke was able to master combat with a sword. These include katana's, swords, kukri swords, sickle-swords, khopesh's, etc. Though Luke has a specific proficiency and preference for falchions, and possesses a traditional Venetian falchion which he forged himself.
	+ **Bow Mastery:** Since childhood, Luke has been proficient at using a bow, having been first taught to hunt with one at the age of six. During his service in the Vietnam War, Luke was stranded in the middle of a Vietnamese jungle with limited supplies and ammunition while also being hunted by the Viet Cong. In this time he used a bow for both hunting and stealth killing, further developing his skills.

## Weaknesses

* **Serum 52-B:** Originally manufactured by the cult using a vial of Luke's blood in 1927, the Serum is capable of suppressing Luke's regenerative healing factor as well as inflicting a highly deadly neuro-toxin upon him. The Serum directly affects Luke's key internal organs, the heart, lungs and brain, causing him to become lightheaded while his skin begins to turn purple, his eyes then become bloodshot, his veins contract soon after and in a matter of seconds he begins to bleed from the nose, mouth, ears and eyes. In extreme cases it has the possibility of causing him to manifest symptoms of haemophilia, impairing his body's ability to prevent excessive bleeding. It eventually causes him to go into convulsions as he begins to bleed internally. At a high enough dose, it can even kill him.

## Equipment

### Weaponry

* **Engraved Combat Knife:** Luke's weapon of choice is his pearl engraved combat knife, which he obtained during his service in the Vietnam War as a token of appreciation from a local who's town his squad had previously liberated.

* **Colt Frontier Six Shooter Revolver:**A revolver Luke obtained from his father's armoury shortly before leaving home, Luke took this revolver all over the United States with him during his decades of travel.

* **The "Eagle" Revolver:** One of two "twin" revolver's gifted to him by his grandfather, Luke carried this with him for over a century, until he eventually gifted it to a young Arthur Matthews on his 16th birthday.

* **Achilles' Greatsword:**Following a brief visit to the ruins of his childhood home, Luke decided to keep his family sword as a memento, keeping it in a frame above the fireplace in his home in Lake Success NY. He hopes to one day pass it on to his son, Alex.

* **Modified Hunting Rifle:** A standard Hunting Rifle customised by Luke in order to serve primarily long-range purposes. It is fitted with a Variable Zoom Scope, a seven round magazine, a detachable tactical silencer and a detachable bipod for situations that require him to provide overwatch for his teammates.

### Possessions

* **Saint Michael Pendant:** Luke always carries a silver pendant inscribed with the image of Saint Michael, the Patron Saint of Soldiers, into battle. He first obtained this pendant only moments before the D-Day Landings and has attributed his luck in battle to his ownership of this very pendant, often stating that it "watches over him to ward off the angel of death".
* **"Heads Up" Coin:** In 2012 Luke gained ownership of a penny which, when flipped, will always land "heads up" due to one loaded side, he now stores it within his trophy cabinet at his home in Lake Success, NY.
