Personal History:
Luke was born a military brat in Hawaii in 1922. His father was in the Navy as a linguist. Throughout his entire childhood his family constantly switched homes, spending lot's of time in Europe, South America, and East Asia. Throughout this time his parents had always wanted him to speak many languages, so they raised him with a mixture of English, Spanish, and French. He continued learning more languages, and as he grew older he learned Japanese, Russian, and Chinese, all of which he could read and write fluently. When he turned 18, he went to college in the American mid-west and got his masters in linguistics, during which time he studied German and Arabic, both of which he speaks very fluently. By this time WWII was over, but he still decided to join the US army where he was part of the formation of the US special forces, which he was then sent overseas to train other nations. Here he applied his various linguistic skills as a linguistic attachment to his unit and taught many people how to shoot a gun for the first time. He saw minimal combat, only a couple local policing issues. He finally left the military in 1954 where he was then recruited to the Foundation as a linguistic expert.
Miscellaneous:
He's kind of a grammar nazi. He also basically only does what he's told. He also loves card tricks and does a few himself. He seems to have an inexhaustible supply of chocolate.
