![]() ![]() ![]() While Lukas remains forever the irreverent upstart, he will never achieve advancement within the Chapter and will remain forever a Blood Claw. Fortunately for the Blood Claw, Ragnar Blackmane interceded before the giant could land a finishing blow, claiming the mischievous warrior for his own Great Company and, in doing so, saving Lukas' life. Bristling with indignation - and no small amount of uncontrollable itching - Stormwolf battered the sniggering Jackalwolf unconscious. Recently in 990.M41, Lukas roused the volcanic wrath of Bjorn Stormwolf by soiling the Wolf Lord's Terminator Armour with a swarm of microscopic bloodlice. The Blood Claws salute his antics, both before and after his initiation amongst the Space Wolves, whilst the leadership of the Chapter recognises him as a free spirit, the very embodiment of the Chapter's independent and anti-authoritarian nature. It is unsurprising that his many detractors have dubbed him "the Trickster," alongside his other epithets "the Strifeson," "the Laughing One" and "the Jackalwolf." And yet, in spite of all of this, he is popular within a certain swathe of the Chapter's membership. In short, Lukas is anarchic and brave in equal measure. Lukas has wrought countless acts of singular cunning upon the enemy, such as leading a sizable Ork WAAAGH! to degenerate into a self-destructive civil war, causing the dark technologies of a rogue sect of the Adeptus Mechanicus to turn against their creators and orchestrating the downfall of hundreds of Renegade Space Marines within the Sea of Lost Souls. Lukas has been passed between different Great Companies countless times, no Wolf Lord wanting to be responsible for such a liability, but he is undeniably one of his Chapter's most resourceful and cunning individuals, and so is always welcomed amongst the ranks of the Blood Claws of his most recent adoptive Great Company. Held in universal scorn by the Wolf Lords, Lukas has never left the ranks of the Blood Claws despite his possession of abilities far exceeding many a Wolf Guard, for he scorns the approval of authority. Within the ranks of the Space Wolves, Lukas Strifeson has become synonymous with the irreverence and rebelliousness of youth. Instead, his greatest desire is the freedom to work his unparalleled mischief upon whomever he fancies, preferably killing as many of the Chapter's foes as he can along the way. The glories sought by other warriors of the Chapter matter not one jot to Lukas, who cares neither for advancement to the Wolf Guard, nor for the approval of his peers. Lukas the Trickster, also known as Lukas Strifeson, is an Astartes of the Space Wolves Chapter of Space Marines, a raucous and ebullient figure who defies the authority of his superiors just as willingly as he defies the enemies of the Chapter. Wolf Priest Galrerunner in conversation with Wolf Lord Kjarl Grimblood on why Lukas has not been killed by the rout. But he will make sure some of us are around when wolftime rolls around at last." Strength and valour earn a glorious death, but cunning earns a long life.He will not be our salvation, Grimblood. ![]() That is the thread of his fate, spun so long ago, when first he was dragged off the ice.Pups die for pride, unless someone teaches them otherwise.Old wolves have one thing in common, cunning. Lukas' wyrd is to move out of step with the rout. There must be one voice at least, that howls against tradition, else we grow complacent. A clown, the fool in the court of Russ, speaking truth where it is neither wanted, nor acceptable.Because it must be done. ![]()
