Luthor



Major Luthor Kaen, is the commanding officer of all the templars aboard the Righteous Fallen. It is from him that you receive your mission briefings and orders to deploy.

Your first encounter with Luthor is in tutorial mission 1, as he joins your squad in their efforts drive the Terrox from the Righteous Fallen. The major's participation after the tutorial missions is extremely limited, as he will only re-join your squad in later missions when the Righteous Fallen is under direct attack. This is representative of a general only becoming directly involved in the fighting when there is no alternative, but to fight for their life.

In Battle
Sometimes you will only know Luthor is joining your party on deployment, other times you will find out from the mission briefing area. In both cases you will be unable to remove him from your party or alter any of Luthor's skills, attributes, talents or gear; you can however inspect everything once he has been deployed. Major Luthor behaves as a captain who specialises in close combat, being equipped with the best sword and then shield his experience level will allow. His experience level will always be comparable to that of your own captain, with Luthor's stats focused on dedicated to surviving a melee (fortitude, strength, warrior & evasion). His talents will always be Slash, Blade weave and Frag Grenade, with frag grenade remaining at level 1. This makes him a high risk - high reward templar, as he has just 3 grenades for ranged damage.

As of v2.6.39 he possess the Bearheart Tact Relic, which permits unlimited counterattacks in a single turn.''

A point to bear in mind is that due to his temporary membership of your squad, all of his kills are removed when calculating the reward for your kill/turn ratio. The mission complete screen will show an initial ratio, but your mission record will have all of his kills omitted and the rewards you actually receive will be equivalent to the the result of this new ratio.

''e.g. 52 kills in 10 turns, with 5 killing blows belonging to Luthor. The ratio of 5.2 awards +8%, but without his kills the ratio is 4.7 which rewards +6%. Thus, you will be rewarded +6%.''
