Appearance

Background

Early life and education

Luke grew up in the Upper Gwynedd Township of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Luke's father, Lewis Briar, was a well-respected American physician. Luke's mother, Samantha Green, was a Welsh immigrant and heiress to an ancient lineage of derwyddon (lit. "tree-knowers", druids). Luke experienced an enriched childhood, exposed to both magic and medicine through his parents' vocations. Ultimately, this provided the foundation for his life-long interests. At some point during his teenage years, for unknown reasons, Luke came into contact with an ancient entity known only as Velshan, the Blood Matron, who offered talent in exchange for his fealty. Young and naive, Luke accepted her offer. Velshan granted him aptitude for magic and cunning beyond his years. Like many otherworldly patrons, Velshan's gifts came at the expense of incurring an unknown and mysterious debt, a debt Luke would keep secret for much of his life.

Luke aspired to be a physician, much like his father. Luke's undergraduate education, medical school, residency path, and physician fellowship program all focused on the fields of hematology and hematopathology—a path likely the product of the Blood Matron's influence. Over the course of his higher-education, Luke would accrue a short list of supernatural acquaintances: demons, forgotten gods, eldritch beings, undead, and beyond. Through a mix of his own talent and a touch of underhanded witchcraft, he would obtain his license to practice at the age of 21, the youngest of his cohort.

Medical career

For several years, Luke served as a staff physician for the Federal Bureau for Super-powered Affairs (FBSA), offering medical consult to young volunteer crime-fighters. In secret, Luke would continue to nurture his connection with his growing list of otherworldly patrons, expanding his horizons into ancient and dangerous sorcery. His growing aptitude for the occult attracted the interest and suspicion of Modern Arcane Guild of Investigation (MAGI). He would be placed onto a MAGI "persons of concern" watchlist at the age of 23.

At the age of 25, Luke was convicted of multiple crimes relating to the study, care, treatment, and attempted resurrection of Jane-Mallory Foster, a MAGI researcher afflicted with an unknown bloodborne illness. Luke's criminal conviction resulted in the revocation of his medical license and a twenty-year sentence in the Ziggurat, a prison for super-powered individuals. Luke served less than a year of his original sentence, however, having been released on a special parole program issued by the FBSA. The conditions of his parole denies reinstatement of his medical license and subjects him to constant supervision and oversight by MAGI.

Occult career

Compelled by his current patrons, Luke sought to evade his parole and obtain clandestine passage to the Etoile Islands. Beyond the reach of the FBSA, Luke was free to delve deeper into his fascination with powers beyond the veil.
