Luke is a vampire, a member of the Order of Aurelius and the leading acolyte of The Master. He's portrayed by Brian Thompson.
Biography
- "Fear is like an elixir. It's almost like blood."
- ―Luke[src]
Luke's past remains a mystery; the only information he reveals about himself is that he hasn't lost a fight since 1843, when his enemy caught him sleeping. However, his status among the Order of Aurelius and the fact that he was chosen as The Vessel indicate his advanced age and that he was sired by the Master himself. He was killed by Buffy in The Harvest.
Powers and abilities
- "Luke is the Vessel! Every soul he takes will feed me."
- ―The Master[src]
Luke possesses the regular powers and weaknesses of common vampires. Due to his advanced age, however, he's stronger and more agile than other vampires, thus capable of holding his own against a Slayer.
After becoming the Vessel, Luke shared a mystical link to The Master, which allowed the Master to draw strength from each person Luke fed on during The Harvest.
Appearances
