Biography
A Gweynuran conman that came to Veilbrand, seeing a chance to raise his status within a rebellion. Now, he practically runs it. That's all that will ever be known of him, past his involvement in the rebellion.
Appearance
Currently, you know him as a pale man in a trench coat of indiscernible of age, standing about 5'7'', with an eyepatch over his right eye and a hat over his shoulder-lengthed, curly dark hair. Through his hair and beneath the shadows of his hat peers a heavy-lidded, sly blue eye, and thin lips always on the edge of a wry smile.
I say that this is how you currently know him, as the next you meet him, and the next, and the next, you will find yourself unable to recognize who he is. There are some things that remain a constant: his relaxed attitude, his smile, and the way he gestures. Lazily, like he moved his hand as an afterthought.
Personality
Luca is a man that you never feel that you have the complete attention of, but with the confidence and charm of somebody you want to pay attention to you. Impossible to make laugh but always looking like he's holding back a smirk, people like Quinn have a one word summary for him: "Frustrating."
He's intelligent, sarcastic and what feels to be a bit too chilled out for his job. When Luca looks serious, you know that shit is about to go down.
He will always believe in doing missions more discreetly, especially since learning of Te’i Sai’s involvement with Egruus. He doesn’t condemn nobility and only wishes to do his job in removing Egruus from power.
In summary, Luca is your cool uncle.
The following is information that will be added to as the rebellion arc progresses.
Notable relationships with/opinions on other characters
Quinn Xe' Duzelle
Ah, his Maiden of Revolution. The girl he stole away from both Moriah and the Wavecrest Shipping Company once he learned what she did to make her flee to Veilbrand. He gave the rebel a cause and groomed her to be the next Maiden of Revolution. He takes pride in her much like a father, though he'd never tell her. In truth, he's glad that it was her who became the Maiden without a mask. He perhaps takes a little too much "ownership" of her. Expect a lot of "my Maiden" and "my Quinn
Ruben Landolt
Another "kid" Luca took under his wing and feels he has responsibility for. Luca never got along with Ruben as well as he did with Quinn. Their personalities clash on a good day, and their ideologies on a worse one. Luca may rile him up on purpose and not outwardly show how deeply he cares, but he keeps a good eye on Ruben and tries to keep him out of trouble by putting a stop to his personal crusades. Ruben isn't grateful for it.
Very Important Opinions!
"How should Veilbrand be ruled?"
"Eh, let's figure that out when we get there."
"We have the Red-Eyed Demon on our side. Thoughts?"
He'd prefer to keep this information hidden from almost everybody involved in the rebellion and the public, even if Egruus already knows. But he's happy to have him on board, as long as he doesn't have to meet him.
More to come!
