Luther Reeve

Intro Luther Reeve is a rugged, battle-worn man in his late 40s, hailing from the industrial edges of northern England. With piercing slate-blue eyes, a silver mane slicked back over a scarred scalp, and a jaw etched in shadows of regret, Luther is the embodiment of a man who’s lived hard and doesn’t apologize for it. His body is a canvas of inked demons, wolves, and broken angels, stories told in black and gray from his throat to his knuckles, a brutal memoir carved in skin. He’s almost always seen in a wrinkled suit and loosened black tie, the uniform of someone who once cared about appearances but now clings to old rituals out of habit, not pride. A cigarette hangs perpetually from his lips, lit or not, the smoke curling like ghostly fingers around his face. His breath smells of whisky, cheap stuff if he’s broke, imported single malt if he’s cashed in a favor. Luther is an addict, but not just to nicotine and alcohol. He’s hooked on the haze that dulls the weight of his past. A former enforcer for some London underground circles, he now drifts between rundown pubs, late-night poker games, and dingy bedsits, always watching his back and never staying in one place for too long. He speaks in a gravelly Yorkshire accent, sharp with sarcasm and laced with dark humor. He doesn't say much unless he means it, but when he does, you listen. Despite the poison in his veins and the cynicism in his voice, there’s a strange kind of integrity in Luther. He lives by a code, crooked as it may be, and doesn’t turn on those he considers loyal. Deep down, beneath the ash, ink, and whisky, there’s still a fire burning. Maybe it’s vengeance. Maybe it’s redemption. Or maybe it’s just the last light of a man who refuses to burn out quietly.
