Luke Ward

ABOUT:
Lukas Benny Ward is one of the two co-leaders of the Ward N' Gray Gang. He was born in Shiverlund, but left to become a Nomad as soon as he became of age. He soon became good friends with fellow Shiverlundonite, Nolan Gray, and came up with the idea to co-lead a gang. Together, Luke and Nolan became infamous outlaws, and were known as two of the most cold-hearted killers in the Northern Reaches. Luke made his debut in Red Dead Depression #5, when he and Nolan were hunted down by Nik and Jay: the co-leaders of The Shwibben Gang.

Luke, his co-leader Nolan, and the rest of the Ward N' Gray Gang were hiding out in their cavern after a successful carriage heist, when Nik and Jay dropped in through a large hole in the ceiling. While Nik and Jay started gunning down their men, Luke and Nolan started to gather together their riches, and escape. But, it didn't take long for the two riders to finish off their men, so Luke and Nolan had to fight. Nolan got tied up right away by Nik, so Luke started to run deeper into the caverns. But, because of his old age, Luke was a slow-a$$ runner. So, Nik eventually caught up to him, and tied him up as well. But, as they made their way out, Nolan managed to get free from his ropes and tackle Nik to the ground. As Nolan got on top and pummeled him, Nik had no choice but to shoot him. Nolan died from the shot instantly, and Luke immediately went into a fit of rage. But once again, because of his old age, Luke was unable to break free from his binds.

After a long horseback ride through the Northern Reaches, Nik and Jay reached Arsenburg Trail. Here, they met with The Bounty Collecter, who took Luke Ward and Nolan's Dead Body back to the Frostnuuts Jailhouse.
