Early life

Luke was born in Gotham City to Lucius Fox and his unnamed wife. Growing up he was very close to Lucius's goddaughter Julia Pennyworth[1] and has a deep admiration for his father, trying his best to make him proud of him.[2][3]

In 2015 he graduated and was admitted to the MIT[3] and his family held a party to celebrate him, his father Lucius went out to buy some ice. They were waiting for him to cut the cake, however he never came back as he was murdered at the Sip&Dash although his alleged killer Reggie Harris was immediately arrested by Crows Security.[4] Luke was approached by police officers that same night in order to identify his father's body at the morgue.[3]

Sometime after that, he was hired by Bruce Wayne to work for Wayne Enterprises and, subsequently, was appointed the head of Wayne Security. At some point, Luke learned of Bruce's secret identity as Batman and started to operate as his ally. Presumably due to a violation of his trust however, he once fired Luke, despite eventually reinstating him.[5]
