“

I am afraid. I am Luke, the king of Heblon and the monarch of light and darkness—I can't die such a pathetic death! It can't be a premonition! I won't die. I'll change fate if I must. I'll prove that premonition is wrong. I'll create something in my likeness, so that they could die instead of me. I'll also create the strongest warriors that will allow no enemies near me.

Luke, also known as The One Who Touches Earth Without A Word and The King of Heblon, is the ninth Apostle of Pandemonium. Ever since his birth, Luke's blood drove him into a life of endless constructing. While much about Luke still remains unknown, it was him who showed Bakal many events of the future, including the death of the Apostles, and what that entailed.

Luke serves as the central antagonist of the Pandemonium quest-line and final boss of the Luke's Laboratory dungeons.

History

Luke was originally the king of Heblon, a kingdom that is located on a planet different from where the game takes place. Due to unknown reasons, Luke was teleported to Pandemonium and had lost his memories. During this time, the kingdom of Heblon had fallen due to his absence.

Since then, Luke had been exploited by Apostles Hilder and Bakal to construct vast structures across Pandemonium for thousands of years, including the Castle of the Dead and re-building the Metro Center. After completing endless structures, he eventually regained his memories of Heblon. Distraught, he decided to turn Pandemonium into a new Heblon.

At some point, he had caught wind of Hilder's prophecy regarding the eventual death of all Apostles. Fearing for his life, he grew increasingly paranoid and desperate, even going so far as to create an immortal army to fend off Hilder's forces. By the time the Adventurer arrives in Arad, Luke had released the Black Nightmare into Arad, which was used to extract light and dark energies from Arad in order to empower himself.

As the Adventurer attempts to travel to Pandemonium through the Castle of the Dead in Zelva, Luke's defenses had grown significantly. He is declared as a threat by the De Los Empire and Empyreans, who decides that he must be stopped for the sake of Arad's survival. The Adventurer, alongside Empyrean and Imperial forces, eventually break past Luke's magical barrier within the Castle of the Dead and meet him face to face.

If the Adventurer did not side the Grim Seekers, Luke is slain by them, who was empowered with Hilder's blessing. If the Adventurer sided with the Grim Seekers, they, alongside Kasijas, attempt to persuade Luke that his dream of rebuilding Heblon can become a reality, but the destruction of Arad is not the answer. Luke briefly contemplates on Kasijas's words, but is slain by Vaughn Walshuted before he can respond.

Upon his death, a portion of his essence was absorbed by Vaughn Walshuted as it drifted into the air. Furthermore, Gizel appears from a portal and collected something from Luke's body, though it is unknown what it was exactly.
