Anton and Luther

We’re trying something new for the blog this week, giving you a spotlight on some of the NPCs who have appeared in our shows. First up, the duo of Anton Lupescu and Luther Sorbo, from Season One of Something… Something… Dragons.

Anton and Luther are life-partners, who have been a couple since the days when they first met Professor Lorrimor during an affair with a cursed carnival. Both of the two had been with the carnival beforehand, but they hadn’t met until Lorrimor’s involvement, so they credit him with their getting together.

They arrived in Ravengro just a day late for the funeral, but they were friends and companions through the party through most of the investigation of Harrowstone prison. During that investigation, Anton became romantically involved with the Professor’s daughter Kendra, and the three are now a polycule with Anton functioning as the hinge. Anton and Luther both first showed up in Episode 9 “Welcome to Ravengro“. Below are their character sheets as they appeared upon their exit in Episode 34 “Rest in Peace“.

Anton Lupescu

Anton is charming, charismatic, beautiful, and if you have any sense at all, completely untrustworthy. Anton is a Witch, who gains power from the Death Patron through his familiar Crow. Crow has a name, but it can only be pronounced in Abyssal, and sounds a lot like demonic screeching, although it is literally just the Abyssal word for “Crow.”

As a Dhampir, Anton’s resistance to Negative Energy served as both a benefit and a hinderance to the party as they dealt with the undead. Fortunately, Thalia’s ability to selectively channel Positive Energy kept Anton from the worst effects.

Unfortunately, Anton’s reliance on Enchantment spells meant he was not of great use fighting the undead of Harrowstone, but he did aid the party with the use of his hexes and spells as much as he possibly could.

Luther Sorbo

Luther is tall, dark, and somewhat sober, but a generally pleasant fellow. He is a hunter, bonded to the wolf, Silver, who he shares a great deal with – including a secret. Luther is not just a man, but is in fact a Skinchanger of the wolf variety.

In combat, Luther favors his bow, although he is equally adept with the axe he carries. He is not afraid to use magic. He knows that he is not a clever man or charming man, but he is usually content to let Anton do the talking for the both of them.

Luther is fearless in battle, and generally selfless. He is also completely head over heels in love with Anton, and would be more than willing to die for him.
