Luke Sykol

* Light Novel
* Manga
* Mask ver

**Luke Sykol** is one of the six pioneer member and the Swordman of the Grieving Souls. He's also considered as the most powerful swordsman in the Empire.

He is the strong, original, and muscle head version of his weak counterpart, Kool Saikol.

## Appearance

He has long red hair that's always seen tied with a rope. He wears a white leather jacket and a red scarf on his neck. His bare arms are covered with black sleeves and he keeps his upper outfit buttons untied, revealing his trained upper body full of muscles such as his chests and stomach. His outfit has a hood, but he rarely uses it.
He is rarely put on his party mask during combat. Because of Krai, he has a wooden sword safely hanged on his belt.

## Personality

Like Liz he likes to fight and is always looking for someone or something strong to try his sword skill on. Without a doubt, he will jump in the battlefield to challenge his opponent.

He is aggressive, assertive, reluctant and stubborn, but still, he shows respects to strong people with honor.

His determination to win is so high that he will bite his tongue to fight until the end.

## Background

In the past and even in the present, Luke is a playful, aggressive, assertive and ambitious man.

He's the person who invited his friends to become Hunters. As they grow up, his eccentric behavior put his party in the spotlight in a bad way. He often cut his opponent or the strong people with a sword without remorse. Thankfully, Krai convinced him to use a wooden sword to fight with the reason that the strongest swordman should be able to cut even with a wooden sword. But in reality Krai wanted him to use a wooden sword so he doesn't indiscriminately cut a lot of people.

When he felt that he lacked strength, he went on training as a protege of the Imperial Capital Sword Saint. The only thing that matters for him is power and strength which he relied on Krai's wisdom and his current mentor. That's why he mastered all of the sword techniques, orthodox and unorthodox styles.

But despite of all his mentor's effort to discipline him, the Explorers Association and the whole society marks him as 'troublemaker' beside Liz as he reluctantly refuses to change his way of life. These negative opinions slowly have declined or forgotten, but his unorthodox activities are still recorded in their books.

Needless to say, Luke won't do anything and move without his principles, and that's what he mentioned after the fall of the barrel leader. As evidence, all of his actions are basically based on the wisdom and advice of his friend.

## Ability

Krai told him to train and feel the Earth by lazily lying and rolling on the ground, and because of it, Luke succeeded to break an iron sword with a wooden sword.

All of his strength are based on Krai's wisdom. He has an incredible and high inhumane power that could kill an ordinary human and weak monsters in a single hit.

## Trivia

* Rice is his favorite food.
* Among the Grieving Souls, he is the closest person to become classified as a 'Red Hunter'.
