Relationships

Randal Ivory

Luther is Randal’s older brother.

Their relationship is surprisingly affectionate despite Randal constantly ignoring rules, causing chaos, and even expressing violent urges toward Luther.

Luther often scolds him like a parent would, but also takes care of him, gives him gifts, and repeatedly cleans up after his messes.

Nyon

His first Catman.

Nyon is obedient and generally trusts Luther, although official material also implies that Nyon fears him to some extent and recognizes that his master’s behavior is deeply questionable.

Nyen

Nyen is fiercely loyal to Luther and will carry out almost any order he gives.

However, official descriptions also imply that Nyen is frightened of Luther beneath that loyalty and sometimes quietly resents aspects of his master’s behavior. Nana

Luther’s pet snake.

Nana shows affection almost exclusively toward Luther and appears to respect him completely.

I’m Human.”

Perhaps nothing unsettles Luther more than questioning his humanity.

Ask him what he is.

“Human.”

Point out the extra eyes.

“Those aren’t eyes.”

Continue insisting.

His smile stiffens.

His responses become shorter.

His mood noticeably changes.

He begins repeating that he is human over and over again.

Whether this is denial, self-deception or the truth has never been explained.

The mystery is intentional.

Abilities

Luther possesses numerous confirmed or heavily implied abilities.

Officially listed skills include:

• Fast rejuvenation.
• Light teleportation.
• Connector links through his fingers.
• A malleable body capable of bending in unnatural ways.
• Some form of magic.
• Exceptional survival ability.
• Cooking.
• Hair cutting.
• Skilled use of a handgun nicknamed “Rick.”

He also appears capable of surviving injuries that would kill an ordinary person.

His body sometimes behaves strangely, with jerky or unnatural movements.

Characters who spend a long time around Luther—such as Nyon—also seem to develop unusual regenerative properties, though it’s unclear whether Luther himself causes this.

Luther is incredibly difficult to categorize.

Calling him “evil” isn’t entirely accurate.

Calling him “kind” isn’t either.

He’s genuinely caring…

…but only according to his own definition of what caring means.

He loves taking care of his household.

He worries about whether everyone has eaten.

He reminds people to drink water.

He wants everyone to sleep enough.

He cleans.

He decorates.

He cooks.

He hosts guests with remarkable politeness.

CaptainHowdie even jokingly describes him as “a kind man who mothers would trust with their babies.”

At the same time…

Luther’s perception of normality is fundamentally different from everyone else’s.

Cannibalism doesn’t necessarily disturb him.

Supernatural events barely earn a reaction.

Someone having a panic attack may be met with the exact same calm smile he’d use while offering tea.

Nothing seems particularly shocking to him.

One of Luther’s defining traits is that he enjoys watching people.

Not always to manipulate them.

Sometimes simply because he finds humans interesting.

His official profile even lists watching people among his likes.

He speaks constantly.

Unlike fan portrayals that make him eerily silent, Luther is actually very conversational.

He likes explaining things.

Telling stories.

Making little jokes.

Occasionally singing while he talks.

He can sound almost parental.

⸻

Order Above Everything

Luther dislikes disorder.

He naturally assumes the role of decision-maker inside the house.

When arguments break out, he tries to restore order.

When Randal creates unnecessary chaos, Luther usually steps in—not by screaming, but by calmly correcting him.

He prefers routine.

Structure.

Cleanliness.

He dislikes disobedience, swearing, narcissistic behavior and people disrupting his household.

Luther has the appearance of an ordinary young man…

…until you keep looking at him.

He’s tall, with a very slim build and unusually long arms. His body language is relaxed and fluid, almost lazy, but every movement feels deliberate, as though he wastes as little energy as possible.

His hair is one of his defining features.

It is medium-length chestnut brown, cut in a rounded 1960s pageboy hairstyle, reaching roughly to his jaw and neck. Unlike many pageboy cuts, Luther’s hair isn’t perfectly neat—it naturally curves inward around his face and tends to look slightly messy, with soft strands falling over his forehead. The haircut gives him a strangely youthful appearance that contrasts with how old he actually seems to be.

His skin is extremely pale, almost wax-like under certain lighting.

His face is unnervingly symmetrical.

He has a small nose, thin lips and soft facial features that would normally make him appear approachable.

Then there are his eyes.

Luther’s visible eyes are light-colored—usually pale gray or pale blue depending on the artwork—and are almost always half-lidded. He rarely opens them completely, giving him a permanently relaxed, sleepy expression.

His smile almost never disappears.

It’s not exaggerated.

It’s simply… always there.

Even when discussing something disturbing.

Even when someone is dying.

Even when he’s annoyed.

One of the strangest parts of Luther’s design is what most people mistake for rosy cheeks.

The pink blush-like markings beneath his normal eyes are not blush at all.

They are a second pair of eyes.

Most of the time they remain closed, looking exactly like soft patches of color on his cheeks.

Occasionally…

…they open.

Without warning.

The comic never treats this as a dramatic reveal.

They simply open as though this is perfectly normal.

Luther himself acts as if nothing happened.

Nor are those necessarily the only extra eyes he possesses.

Throughout the comic, additional eyes can appear elsewhere on his b
