Lubbock

Lubbock was a member of the assassin group Night Raid.

In the city, his cover was as an owner of a bookstore.

Appearance
Lubbock was a young man with short green hair and red goggles on top of his head. He wore a long green jacket with a fur trimmed hood over a white and red ringer shirt and blue jeans. He wore it with brown shoes. When in battle, he wore his Teigu on his hands.

Personality
He was an easy going person who tended to be a pervert from time to time, including trying to peep on Leone while bathing. Despite this, he was careful not to let this get in the way of battle when fighting females.

Lubbock was incredibly loyal to Night Raid. Undeterred by Syura's taunts and gruesome torture to leak information, Lubbock did not betray Night Raid. He also claimed that if he thinks of Najenda, he would withstand any pain. He was a excellent trickster and tactician, able to use his Teigu to make it seem that he was dead in a fight against Mez and to trick Syura into releasing him from his bonds by giving vague information which revealed nothing of value.

History
Lubbock was the 4th son born into a wealthy merchant family in a region of the Empire. During his childhood, he met Najenda, who had just moved into the region for the time. Falling in love at first sight, he left the life he had to get closer to Najenda and joined the army. Using his talent, Lubbock rose through the ranks to the point where he could serve and be by her side. He would also join her in her defection to the rebellion, even going as far as to risk his life to change the military records of both him and her to K.I.A.

Recently, he was captured along with Tatsumi in the Imperial Capital in a clever plot engineered by Syura, the Prime Minister's son. While Tatsumi's prisoner treatment was being handled by Esdeath, Syura look over Lubbock's interrogation, leading to inhumane torture in order to obtain information on the whereabouts of Night Raid's headquarters. When asked about the progress of the torture, Syura commented that Lubbock's eyes were beginning to lose hope, just like with "all the other prisoners" (presumably ones that he'd dealt with in the past). Indeed, when finally left alone for the first night following his first day as prisoner, Lubbock was shown biting his arm to the point of bleeding, with his eyes showing intense distress and his body shaking from head to toe from the trauma. This was later revealed to be an act as Lubbock manages to trick Syura into releasing hin from his shackles. He then proceeded to break Syura's neck using his trump card ( killing Syura ) and attempts to escape.

Lubbock tried to use Shambhala to escape, but it only teleported him to the courtyard, where Izou was. Thinking Izou wouldn't cut Shambala, he tried to block Izou's attacks with it. However, Izou said that he was devoted to Kousetsu, and teigu are of no interest to him, and cut Lubbock in half. In his last moments, Lubbock saw Najenda in a vision and asked her if he had done well before dying. Izou praised his will to live, but made it clear that, as Budo was already about to attack him, Lubbock had no chance of escape. Esdeath told Tatsumi that Lubbock is dead to try and make him turn, but it only made Tatsumi angrier.

Equipment and Skills
Lubbock used a wire Teigu named "Infinite Uses: Cross Tail", which was very strong and has many uses, including offensive and defensive techniques. He was able to use his Teigu to detect intruders who cross into his wires' parameters. He was also able to manipulate the wires forming them into a spear like object, which he uses to impale his enemies. He has displayed an extremely resourceful tactical use of his Teigu, using it like a suit of Armour being the most common use in question. He also tended to plan several moves ahead of his enemies and will adapt well to a given situation even as it changes, such as when he killed two of the Four Rakshasa Demons, a group noted for killing Teigu users themselves. Lubbock was also seen to be great at hand to hand combat, able to dismantle an empire guard.

He was shown to be good at tricking enemies and distracting them; he claims his Ultimate Technique was his ability to play dead, which he has used multiple times to ambush or escape enemies. It's trump card was that the user can keep the strings in their mouth, this was what enabled Lubbock to attack Syura. He was a notorious cross-dresser when the situation demands it.
