Luke Roberts

Personal Background:
Luke Roberts is a survivor of the 2019 apocalypse, and the husband of Emily Freeman. He lost his entire family when a nuclear bomb detonated on the Roberts homestead, which later become the Grave Marshes. Luke and Emily barely survived, taking refugee in the underground water pipes located near the lake house. Luke remained traumatized by this event for the rest of his life. While his wife, Emily, had less difficulty adjusting to the harsh reality of the wasteland, Luke was continually haunted by the deaths of his family. All he had left in remembrance of them was the family heirloom: a golden watch. Before the 2019 apocalypse, Luke Roberts was a film scriptwriter, and was, ironically, writing his debut script around a nuclear holocaust.

Episode One:
Luke is seen with his wife in the Wild Lands being held at gun point by a raider gang.
