History

Luke was born to a poor family of next generation immigrant mutts in Chicago. Through the muddle of his heritage, he's sort of a Catholic Jew, but only a few in his family ever paid that much mind when he was growing up. Luke felt further distanced from his family traditions when he realized at a young age that he is gay, and his family had a difficult time dealing with this revelation when it became apparent in Luke's teenaged years. His Irish Catholic father insisted on sending him to military school in an effort to straighten him out after discovering him with his first boyfriend. Luke found that he actually liked military life, plus he was getting laid more than ever there, so he set his sights on a military career. However, Luke was unrepentant about his sexuality, so after a successful basic training in the Army and deployment in Afghanistan, he was discharged under Don't Ask, Don't Tell in 2002.

An American private military contractor called Zeus Dynamic recruited Luke immediately for his solid record of performance. Zeus Dynamic had several gay ex-soldiers on its payroll already, which they made clear. Eager to continue on a military path, Luke accepted their offer and advanced his training as a close combat specialist. He spent eight years with Zeus Dynamic being deployed through the Middle East, primarily in Iraq and Afghanistan, surprisingly happy times for the man.

They ended with two tragic events. In the fall of 2010, Luke's longtime boyfriend, fellow merc Jordan Whitehall, disappeared, along with his entire unit, on a covert op in northern Iraq. The American military eventually reported all involved dead, and only through his superiors did Luke learn that they had run afoul of some black ops mission involving a classified Iraqi chemical plant. Just as he received this news, Luke also learned that his mother was dying of breast cancer.

Luke took an extended leave of absence to return to the States, where he found his family in shambles. Several of his siblings had turned to a life of delinquency and addiction, and branches of his family were barely communicative. His mother was eager to make amends for his past treatment, though, and even Luke's father had grown warmer over the years. Luke spent the next year as a stabilizing influence for his family, and he expended most of his accumulated wealth trying to bring his family in line, with limited success. His mother died in November of 2011, just as the first snows fell, and Luke decided it was time to get back to his passion.

His concern for his family prevented him from leaving the States, however, and he was beginning to age out of front line deployment, so Luke asked for a Stateside civilian assignment with Zeus Dynamic's daughter company Athena Securities as a bodyguard. He has spent the last few years being disillusioned enough by his exposure to both America and the Middle East's wealthy elite to question what his years of service really amounted to, particularly in light of whatever Jordan gave his life for. He is hoping for new inspiration to strike.
