As a child he was told that he had passed away shortly before Luke was born. As he grew into his teens he caught occasional comments from extended family that indicated that wasn't exactly the truth, and that his father had been more or less a one night stand. Nothing was ever said directly, and no one seemed willing to discuss the subject when he tried dropping a few hints of his own. Eventually he gave up on asking .. the past was the past and at this point the odds of being to track whoever he had been would have been astronomical.<br/><br/>He and his mother lived with her sister. Luke's uncle was a merchant banker, and tried to raise his nephew to have a similar outlook, serious and hard working.<br/><br/>It never quite took.<br/><br/>While not exactly wild, Luke could best be described as strong willed. One of the stronger influences in the youths life was an old monk called Wu, who would tell the boy many entertaining stories, claiming to have been a fang shi (exorcist), and having fought ghosts and jiang shi (hopping vampires) all over China. He taught Luke the basics of both kung fu and the fangshi's arts.<br/><br/>His uncle had numerous other terms for the dishevelled looking old man, and tried his hardest to keep such a bad influence away from his nephew. After seeing just how well Luke had taken the basics of Wushu, he grudgingly admitted that the old man might not be entirely bad.<br/><br/>Impressed with raw talent the boy seemed to have in the martial arts, Luke was enrolled in one of the better local dojos. He enjoyed the lessons, and his uncle felt that the discipline he would learn as part of it would serve him well in the future.<br/><br/>During his first year at University, while hanging out with some of his friends from the dojo in the Ximending district, he saved a young boy from an out of control car, scooping the oblivious child up from almost under it's bumper and flinging himself into an impressive diving break fall over the hood. While a little battered and bruised from his landing, the young boy came out without a scratch. The next day he was approached by what turned out to be one of the executives of the Shaw Brothers film studio, an uncle of the child he'd saved. Having heard of Luke's martial skills, he offered him a chance to audition for a project the studio was filming, The Invisible War.<br/><br/>Landing a leading role as one of the titular heroes (the reincarnation of<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Lei Heng</div><div class="spoiler_body">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lei_Heng</div></div>, the 25th Heavenly Spirit), Luke dropped out of his university course and spent the best part of a year filming the pilot for the show. At present the Studio is trying to get it picked up to be turned into an ongoing series, with the cast on retainer. While trying to figure what to do with himself next, Luke received an invitation to Onogoro-jima, and decided to take it up.<br/><br/>While he isn't aware of it, the boy he saved is also the nephew of the Deputy Mountain Master (a high ranking member) of the Tien Dao Meng (Celestial Way) Triad. Recognising the debt of honour he owes, he has set a handful of the Triad members to 'keep an eye on' him, and provide help if its necessary. Luke's move to Hawaii caught them a little by surprise, but a debt is a debt, and Luke is currently unaware of the shadows he has earned.
