Lucas Beckett

Lucas was born to hunt. The instinct was nurtured by his hunter father, who taught he and his younger brother, Jason, from a young age how to use and care for a variety of weapons, traps and snares. Drilled relentlessly, Luke lived for the hunt, ever striving to please his demanding, perfectionist father. Balance in the Beckett home came in the form of the boys’ mother, an atypical housewife who single-handedly provided a calming yin to the testosterone-fueled yang of her husband and sons. Her sudden illness and death when the boys were 12 and 9 came as a blow to them all. The Beckett men persevered, managing as well as they could without their anchor. The hunt took over their lives. The next blow came when they stumbled upon a small werewolf pack on a full-moon hunt. When the dust and the blood had settled at the end of the battle, five wolves and the boys’ father lay dead. Both Lucas and Jason still bear the scars of that fight.

Since then, Luke has raised his brother, seeing him through school and continuing his training. Somewhat introverted, the dead-aim hunter has the wits to outsmart any number of creatures that he deems prey. Fiercely protective of Jason, even now with both men grown, his burning hatred for Katherine Pierce - the vampire that turned his brother - has the potential to destroy him. Since that event, he’s considering the previously unthinkable. Whatever it takes to bring down Beckett's enemy number one. Though things have changed for the older Beckett, after learning of Jason's current situation, and the niece he never expected, he had his brother turn him into the exact thing he was hunting for most his life.

2 years later..
Luke now walks a fine line between the vampire and hunter worlds, neither fully accepting him. Extremist hunters want him dead because he turned. Vampires want him dead because he’s one of, if not THE most lethal hunter around. Rumors spread of the vampire who hunts vampires, and he is called to help in areas that are especially problematic, and as his reputation grows, so do his enemies. Oddly enough he finds calm at home in Mystic, the Mecca for the supernatural world. He’s stayed in touch with Alex, his medium friend, and even started dating a vampire, Riley, after months of a building friendship turned into something more. He’s never regretted his decision to turn, though he’s still looking for the one piece of retribution to assuage his guilt: finding and killing the vampire that turned his brother.
