“That’s all I wanted, something special
Something sacred in your eyes.”

George Michael - Father Figure
Luke came to LA in 1978. He took note of a Ventrue named Estrea and saved her when she was seriously outgunned at a gunfight. They went out drinking afterwards and became good friends. Estrea took Luke with her the next time she visited Las Vegas and they discovered a mutual enjoyment of gambling. Through Estrea’s friendship with Antonio, Luke met Christina after Antonio adopted her. The three of them were fast friends, often perusing the casinos on the strip.

While Luke cared for Christina, he stepped back when Jason came into the picture. A few months later when Christina came to LA looking for Jason, Luke decided to help her and Lena find him. Her emotional distress drew the two of them closer together and he determined that he would do anything to help her find her Jason, even if he didn’t want to be found. He didn’t mean to partially blood bond her to him, it just kind of happened.

In Nashville Christina saved Luke’s life by giving him her blood, partially bonding him to her. When they finally found Jason and he walked away from Christina, she asked Luke to return to Las Vegas with her. He agreed and they lived together for two years. Knowing that he couldn’t possibly care more for Christina than he already did, Luke willingly took the final two drinks of her blood needed to complete her bond over him.

When he finally realized that she would never get over Jason, Luke went looking for some way to convince him to return to Christina. Christina disappeared a few weeks later, followed shortly by Jason. Luke hoped that they would find each other, but he knew that he would be forever linked to a woman he can never have.

With no where else to go, Luke has returned to Los Angeles. Talon was still pissed for the way he'd left, but given the situation that the city was in, Luke knew that the Prince couldn't turn him away. An old Brujah hadtorn the crap out of the city and Talon needed every extra hand he could get.

So what if he had to step carefully for a while until Talon gots off his back? Luke was back with friends he hasn’t seen in years and he hoped that they will be able to take his mind off Christina and the fact that he was blood bound to her, a fact that could only serve to get him in bigger trouble if the Tremere ever found out. He knew he needed to get on with his life and see what the fates had in store for him next.

A little over a year after Christina left him, Jason arrived in LA. It turned out that Jason didn't have what she needed after all. The two men eventually became something like friends.
