His uncle Varrick ( mother's brother) was ambitious and greedy. He manipulated Lukas' father to consolidate the two familys lands and power but under Lukas grandfather's name. It was around this time that Lukas nature was beginning to assert itself. Soon Lukas father suffered an accident and disappeared on a hunting trip. Pronounced dead Lukas was to inherit everything.
