Appearance:
Clad in dishevelled rags, Luk's muscular body is well-adapted to labor, with broad shoulders and a hunchback. His face is covered in slight stubble, and his teeth are yellowed, with chunks of food still stuck between them.

His large red eyes gaze vacantly ahead, making the orc seem inattentive at the best of times. He is rarely seen without a lumber axe, mining pick and his trusty flax sack, where items of interest are obsessively hoarded by the peon.

Personality:
As a peon, though obviously lacking in intelligence, Luk seems good-hearted, with a fondness for food and snoozing. Though he dislikes hard-labor, he seems to accept it as part of his duty as peon. He appears prone to impetuous actions and flights of fancy, though his competence far outstrips his ambitions.

In actuality, Luk is an obsessive megalomaniac with a god-complex, preferring to manipulate those around him and use foul magic to create twisted new creations. His penchant for cruelty and revenge often proves his downfall, as he gets easily carried away.

History:
Not much is known about Luk's early life. He first came to note as one of the handful of orcs training in the Undercity's Magic Quarter, where he made friends with Sadok Slitherblade. The pair would eventually travel to the Cleft of Shadows in Orgrimmar, and Luk's research interests would delve deeper into taboo subjects like necromancy.

Performing hideous experiments within a secret location near Orgrimmar, he would eventually show Sadok his amateur fleshcrafting and soulshaping. Mortified, Slitherblade would inform the Kor'kron of Luk's forbidden ways, and Vileclaw would be chased out of Orgrimmar after a bounty was placed on his head.

His life-work, career and reputation in tatters, Luk would quickly lose his mind, and eventually resurfaced in the guise of a peon. He worked long hours within the Valley of Trials, but after an unfortunate accident resulted in his taskmaster's inexplicable combustion, the peon went into hiding again.

He finally resurfaced in Winterspring, pledging himself to the Red Blade tribe in an attempt to find, locate and revenge himself upon Sadok. Finding Sharptongue to be dead, he concocted an alternate plan. After a spree of suspicious behaviour, stealing the corpse of Sadok's assassin and murdering both Keishara's wolf Brutal and Tickles the draft-pony, Luk would have everything he needed.

Unfortunately, just as Luk prepared to reanimate an undead Sadok, he was apprehended by the Red Blade tribe an executed. Though Sadok would be brought into undeath, Luk would not see it. A soulstone ritual permitted his spirit to endure, as he underwent a long and painful year-long regeneration ritual.

Luk would soon kidnap Sadok again, but the wily mage fled by polymorphing Vileclaw into an asparagus. Some time later, strange letters were found in Winter Veil gifts that appeared to be in Luk's maddened scrawl -- children's rhymes and veiled threats.

Finally, a strange black sheep would encounter Sadok during his visit to Zangarra, and follow him obsessively in the weeks after. Observing every last action, Forbe the sheep managed to lure Sadok's mate Kyrazha away. Forbe revealed himself as Luk under a polymorph spell, and the warlock enslaved her mind using an enchanted necklace.

Kyrazha would serve her new Master by trying to murder Sadok with a knife. Unfortunately for Luk, she was captured by the Red Blades, and his attempts to spring her free resulted in his own arrest, imprisonment and execution. To prevent him from using a similar soulstone ritual, his spirit was absorbed into Caruk's soulblade, where he is now condemned to spend eternity.
