Character History

Trust and Blood

Luke, after spending a night in juvenile hall, returns home with his mother. They pass by the home of Samson Gray, which has police cars outside. They argue over the fight Luke had started with a boy who, Luke claims, called Mary a whore. They find Daniel Simmons in their living room, nailed to the armrests of a chair with screwdrivers. Sylar captures them telekinetically and threatens to torture them, hoping that Simmons will give him information on his father. When Sylar starts suffocating Mary, Luke rescues her with his microwave rays, piquing Sylar's interest. Luke demonstrates his ability for Sylar. Meanwhile, Simmons escapes and grabs his gun. Luke uses his ability on his father, boiling his blood and thus killing him. Afterwards, Luke leaves his home with Sylar, eager to leave his old life behind.

Building 26

Luke is excited to be heading west with Sylar in search of Sylar's father. He refuses to tell Sylar their specific destination, then makes up some lies about it, but Sylar knows when he is lying. Sylar reveals that he rips their people's abilities from their brains, leading Luke to call him a serial killer. Despite Sylar's threats, Luke claims Sylar won't kill him because he needs him to find his father.

When they stop at a diner, Luke suddenly asks Sylar if he likes birds, and reveals that Samson Gray used to take him out birding. He is aware that Sylar's father sold him as a child, and suggests that Samson confessed this to him because he reminded the old man of his son. In the diner, Luke uses his ability on a customer's drink, making it erupt, but Sylar tells him Luke not to use his powers without an objective. Sylar explains that his own current objective is to find his father, and Luke then writes down his father's address and hands it over, expressing the hope that Sylar won't kill him now. Two security agents then walk into the diner. When a plainclothes agent points a gun at Sylar's head, Luke creates a distraction, allowing Sylar to disarm the agents, break a window, and drag Luke outside. Sylar drives off in the car alone, leaving a distraught Luke behind to be captured and thrown into the team's van. The vehicle is then attacked from inside, and Sylar emerges from the back, dressed as an agent, having killed the whole team. He recovers a laptop and carries away the drugged Luke. Luke later thanks Sylar for rescuing him but Sylar claims he only came back for the laptop.
