Luc son of Jak

A foundling of Gorenten descent that Jak, a Jinsein living in Hafod, saves from a sinking ship. Jak calls the boy "Lucky"--Luc, for short--and raises him as his own. Later, Jak has his own family, including a son, Alun, that Luc fully embraces as his brother.

Luc is described as an easy-going, responsible, upstanding young man who displays tremendous patience with his brother Alun, whom he protects against bullies. He feels like he owes everything to his father Jak and does what he can to show himself as a worthy son, even if they don't share the same blood.

Blackwood Marauders
Though he doesn't really want to leave their farm, he takes the military entrance exam in order to save his family from destitution. This backfires when he not only fails the exam but finds himself stuck with ruthless, bloodthirsty mercenaries as a result. Luc's upbringing and outlook in life clashes against the mercenaries' own beliefs, which eventually result in the murder of Jak and the razing of Luc's family farm.

Even though he lost his own father, Luc decides to remain true to his memory and rises up to protect Roena's. He later becomes co-leader to the mercenary group Blackwood Marauders, whom he tries to steer towards the same values Jak imparted him with.
