Luther was born in Cameroon in West Africa in 1652; a foundling. In 1689, Luther was captured by slave traders, and was killed on board a slave ship, reviving to Immortality.

He later met his first teacher, Rebecca Horne, who bought him, took him home with her and taught him about his Immortality and how to survive The Game. She even showed him the crystal that she owned, known as the Methuselah Stone. When it was his time to leave, she gave him, as she did all her other students, a piece of the crystal. Luther became a formidable warrior, killing many Immortals. He became determined to become the last man standing.
