Lubbock

Lubbock is a member of the assassin group Night Raid. In the city, his cover is as an owner of a bookstore.

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

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

Lubbock is incredibly loyal to Night Raid. Undeterred by Syura's taunts and gruesome torture to leak information, Lubbock does not betray Night Raid. He also claims that if he thinks of Najenda, he can withstand any pain. He is also a great trickster tactician, able to use his Teigu to make it seem that he is dead in a fight against Mez and to trick Syura for a chance to retaliate by giving vague information which revealed nothing new.

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 has been 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 is being handled by Esdeath, Syura has taken over Lubbock's interrogation, leading to inhumane torture in the most horrid of methods in order to obtain information on the whereabouts of Night Raid's headquarters. When asked about the progress of the torture, Syura comments that Lubbock's eyes are 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 is 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, although that may have been an act, because the very next day he managed to trick Syura into releasing his shackles. He then proceeded to break Syura's neck and escape using his trump card.

Equipment and Skills
Lubbock uses a wire Teigu named "Infinite Uses: Cross Tail", which is very strong and has many uses, including

offensive and defensive techniques. He is able to use his Teigu to detect intruders who cross into his wires' parameters. He is 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 tends 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 is also seen to be great at hand to hand combat, able to dismantle an empire guard.

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