Personal Description
A soft-spoken gentle soul and bleeding heart (perhaps too much so), Father Luke works as Saint Paul's Sanctuary's outreach to the Thamesfolk; although he lives inside the Sanctuary, he spends a lot of his time in Thameshaven. He has several important contacts in Thameshaven, including Doctor Webb. When he's not at St. Paul's or Thameshaven, Father Luke can be found tending to those dying of tunnel cough. Helping him tend to these ailing victims will get the player an introduction to Bishop Whaler.

History
Luke Caldwell was among the first Thamesfolk children born to Thamesfolk parents; a quiet and slightly bookish boy, he had a childhood fraught by all the difficulties of being a Thamesfolk but also somewhat sheltered from the dangers of the world by his parents, who cherished him dearly. He was accepted into Saint Paul's Sanctuary for training upon coming of age and was ordained a priest by Bishop Whaler several years later; his residence in Saint Paul's Sanctuary protected him from the massacre at [Old Thameshaven], but both of his parents were killed in the attack. He currently works as Saint Paul's Sanctuary's outreach missionary in Thameshaven, splitting his time between there and St. Paul's, or helping tunnel cough victims.
