ESSENTIALS
Name: Lukas Kaufmann
Nickname: Lukas, ALIAS:  Robert Wallenda
Apparent Age: Mid 30s
Occupation: Ex Cat Burglar

APPEARANCE
Faceclaim: Michael Fassbender

Lukas is an acrobat and it shows -- in the lean, strong lines of his body, in his relatively short height, in the easy way he moves. He is not tall, nor exceptionally strong, but compact and quick and completely comfortable in his body in a way that makes him a dangerous opponent, when he choses to be. His hair is auburn and cropped short, with just a faint curl to it; his eyes are a cool, muted blue-green. Stubble lines his squared jaw because, no matter how often he shaves, it never seems to be enough.  His nose is a bit too strong, perhaps, his eyebrows too heavy, and his smile [when he smiles] is shark-like.

Beneath his right ear, along the side of his neck, is a neatly calligraphied German phrase: "Es ist noch kein Meister vom Himmel gefallen."

His style is dark colors and close cuts. He tends toward a military vibe, when he can.

PERSONALITY
Lukas's generally policy is to live for himself and no one else -- which, thus far, hasn't served him exceptionally well, but that hasn't changed his heart.

His eyes are closed off and serious all the time, but whatever he's thinking is hidden behind that too-sharp smile and a quip that slides past friendly teasing and into the realm of the mean, even if it's only a little bit. He frequently makes up for this, as best he can, with a pat on he shoulder and a wink that doesn't entirely take the sting out of his words.

Instead of being quiet and introspective, he fills social occasions with talk that isn't exactly meaningless, but isn't exactly productive or important, either. He is private by dwelling on non-consequentials, not by shutting his mouth. Silence is only greeted by questions. Chatter is greeted with a desire for silence.

IMPRESSIONS
Lukas can tell if someone is lying -- any lie -- to an uncanny degree. He also does lie an awful lot himself, and sometimes it's hard to tell what's the truth.
