Luke Cahill
Luke Cahill is the founder of Lucian Branch.
History
Edit
Luke Cahill was the oldest of the four Cahill siblings. He was born in 1484 and was the founder of the Lucian Branch (though his death is unknown) . He was the eldest and was never satisfied with his portion of clues. This man's dream was to create a kingdom in which people would be treated fairly. However, Luke knew that he couldn't this on his own. He needed the 39 Clues for it. But, when his siblings falsely accused him of starting the fire that burnt down the family home and killed their father, he became more focused on revenge and destroying his siblings than his own dream. So, he left Ireland and went to England, where he became the rising star of King Henry VIII's court. Court life educated him that anything was not out of reach as long as one is willing to use bribery, blackmail, and other forms of "persuasion". So, Luke started to send spies to track his siblings and even told them to do whatever it takes to find their Clues.
Before he went to London, there is a rumor that he had a diary containing what he knew, what really happened at the fire. It is said, that he gave it to someone he thought it would be a good idea to trust, his sister, Jane. Then she hid it somewhere for an unknown reason. Luke was the only of the other three siblings that Jane got along with on occasion.He is the only sibling known to have confrontations directly with Damien Vesper and Madeleine Cahill.
