**Luka Couffaine** is a character introduced in the second season of *Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir*. He is the older twin brother of Juleka Couffaine and the guitarist of Kitty Section who attracts the attention of Marinette.

In "Silencer", when Bob Roth threatens Marinette after she accuses him of stealing Kitty Section's idea for XY's new song, he is akumatized by Hawk Moth into **Silencer**, a voice-stealing supervillain.

In "Desperada", after Adrien Agreste gives up being Aspik for not being able to help Ladybug against the titular villain, she gives Luka the Snake Miraculous. When the Miraculous is inhabited by Sass, he becomes **Viperion**, a snake-themed superhero who helps Ladybug and Cat Noir during "particularly difficult missions" in the third season and beyond.

In "Truth", when Marinette can't tell him where she disappears to all the time, Luka is akumatized and amokized by Shadow Moth into **Truth**, a three-eyed supervillain that forces people to tell the truth and his betrayal forms, Light Eye, a giant floating eye sentimonster.

In "Wishmaker", during the fight against the titular villain, Luka, as Viperion, is able to discover, accidentally, the true identities of both Ladybug and Cat Noir, who got exposed after being affected by the villain's powers. Because of his power to go back in time, the two main heroes are unaware that Luka knows who they are.

After the events of "Strikeback", Luka will temporarily be unable to become Viperion after Hawk Moth manages to steal his Miraculous along with all the others contained in the Chinese Miracle Box from Ladybug's yo-yo.

## Personality

Unlike his sister Juleka, Luka is a calm boy who has a mixed personality of being playful, charming, mature, and flirtatious. He is empathetic at reading people's emotions and expressing it through music. Luka is very kind and generous, especially towards his friends and family, but also to people he just met as he cheers Marinette up shortly after meeting her. Like Adrien, he is also supportive and encouraging towards others like Juleka. Adrien himself describes him as brave, caring and determined.

Luka seems to be a easygoing and relaxed boy. However, sometimes he can lose his calm if feels that he and mainly his friends are being wronged, like when Bob Roth stole his band's music, dance and outfits and claimed them to be XY's. He still maintained a level of cool, and only lost it when Bob threatened Marinette. According to her, in "Luka as seen by Marinette", he is very intuitive.

He is also very understanding and patient like when he ended his relationship Marinette despite being sad he decided to wait until her secret was gone. Upon discovering it, in "Wishmaker", aware of the rules and Ladybug's need for secrecy, Luka understood that the city needed Ladybug and Cat Noir.

As Viperion, most of Luka's personality remains the same like his caring and helpfulness. Given his calm disposition, Viperion is focused, observant and not afraid to give suggestions or ideas to others.

As Silencer, his main goal is to make Bob Roth tell the truth regarding the fact he stole the Kitty Section's song as he takes the voices of anyone that could serve his purposes or get in his way. However, he still retains his care for Marinette, as she was the only person whose voice he spared and he reassured her he would make "justice" for her and Kitty Section.

As Truth, he is shown to be desperate to know Marinette's secret, interrogating anyone that could possibly know it, like her best friends and her parents. He is shown to get frustrated quite easily, when they keep telling him a secret he already knows. However, he can prioritize other secrets when they have a much bigger meaning to him, like when he made his mother confess to him who was his father.

## Abilities

### As a civilian

Luka is excellent at playing his guitar and similar musical instruments, and seems to have a specialty for fingerstyle guitar. He is particularly good at creating melodies through people's emotions. He claims to have been playing the guitar since he was a baby. It was also confirmed on twitter that he can play the violin.

In "Frozer", Luka was shown to be very good at ice skating, as well as fairly strong, lifting Marinette with ease. Luka can also ride a bike, as shown when he was delivering pizzas in "Heart Hunter", and the numerous times he has given Marinette a ride.

### As Viperion

Viperion, like the rest of the superheroes, has enhanced capabilities such as speed, agility, and strength, and he is almost invulnerable to physical damage. Like a snake, he also has enhanced senses like hearing, smell, infrared vision and possibly the ability to feel vibrations but it is yet to be seen.

His special superpower is Second Chance. With this, he marks a moment in time by sliding back the snake head on his Miraculous, and the snake head slowly returns to its place over the course of five minutes. Then, when needed, he slides the snake's head back again, reversing time to the point he marked. This gives him the opportunity to change the outcome of a recent event. He is able to go back to the marked moment as many times as he wants before the snake's head returns to its original position. He proves to be more competent than Adrien at using this ability.

### As Silencer

Silencer can steal people's voices by touching their lips with his two fingers and making a shushing motion; the voice will then escape from the person as a jellyfish-like entity. Once their voices are out, he can store them inside his mask and then he can talk with them using his hands. He can also use more than one voice at a time. If his power is used on a Miraculous holder, he can render them virtually powerless unless he says the invocations in their place. However the victims can reclaim their voice if they get the jellyfish-like entity before he does.

### As Truth

Truth is able to shoot beams from his 3rd eye on his forehead, which forces people to tell the the truth. Those hit by the beam have bigger sclera, smaller pupils and white lipstick, similar to the black lipstick worn by the victims of Dark Cupid. Once hit, the victim will have to answer truthfully to any question Truth asks. He has total control about his sentimonster who let him immobilize anyone he enlightens, allowing Truth to listen to his victim without escape.
