Luck Gandor

Luck Gandor (ラック・ガンドール, Rakku Gandōru) is one of the heads of the Gandor Family mafia alongside his older brothers Keith and Berga.

He and his brothers become immortals in November 1930 after unwittingly consuming the Cure-All Elixir at the Martillo Family's promotion party for Firo Prochainezo.

Appearance
Luck has short brown hair and sharp brown eyes that are constantly described as "fox-like" by both the prose and other characters. He normally dresses in sharp business suits.

Personality
Luck comes across as 'calm and collected', with a constant faint smile on his face (Firo claims this is just a pretense to look cool). Luck intentionally pretends to be ruthless because he believes that he is not suited to be a mafioso--a belief that other characters also hold. He is far more empathetic than a mafia capo should be--he could not bring himself to issue a death penalty for Edith or allow Eve Genoard to become a killer.

That being said, Luck is completely capable of violence and cruelty, having no qualms about employing a torture specialist and inflicting violence upon their torture victims himself. This is especially so when his men or family have been injured or killed, or are otherwise in danger - he cares deeply for those in his family and cannot forgive those who harm them. During these times (e.g. when Keith was kidnapped; when Dallas murdered Gandor men) Luck is just as furious -- if not more so -- than Berga, though he attempts to hide his fury under his typical placid demeanor.

Luck has indicated that he used to be afraid of death, to the point where he was afraid of the poem "Spirits of the Dead" by Edgar Allan Poe. He has since lost this fear as an immortal, and even jokes about how he keeps cheating death.

Pre-1930
(Under construction)

1930 - The Rolling Bootlegs
Luck and his brothers are first introduced playing a card game with Jorgi (the Family's financial manager). Through the game, they reveal to Jorgi that they are aware of his embezzlement and secretly 'test' him on his character via Russian Roulette. When he fails the test (he points the gun at the Gandors), he is taken away.

In November 1930, Luck and his brothers are approached by Dallas Genoard and his cronies after they were beaten senseless by the Gandors' childhood friend Firo. Dallas (unaware of Firo's relationship with the Gandors) wants the Gandors to help him get revenge on Firo. In exchange, he and his gang will join the Gandor Family. Luck cooly declines and dismisses Dallas, angering him. Berga throws Dallas and his goons out when they start acting up, and afterwards the two brothers look at the crate that Dallas left behind. It contains two bottles that they assume contain liquor.

That evening, their hideout is attacked by Dallas and his men while Luck and his brothers are absent. Dallas and co. end up retrieving their wooden box, killing several Gandor members in the process. The police contact the brothers in the middle of the night, and the three of them rush to the scene. Luck is livid over the murders of Mike and his other subordinates, and vows revenge.

That evening, the Gandor brothers attend Firo's promotion party at The Alveare. During the party they unknowingly consume Szilard Quates' immortality elixir, and become complete immortals. At the sound of gunfire from upstairs, the Gandors go investigate. In the back alleys, they come across Dallas and his cronies threatening Firo and Ennis; Luck draws his handgun and points it at the back of Dallas' head, and his brothers do the same with the two henchmen.

Luck interrogates Dallas about the previous night's massacre, and Dallas attempts to blame Firo as the perpetrator. Luck reveals that he and Firo are childhood friends, and shoots Dallas in the head (his brothers do the same to their captives). Ennis warns them to tie Dallas and co. up, but her warning comes too late. Dallas and his goons regenerate, and gun down the brothers, Firo, and Ennis.

Luck and the others soon regenerate, and they witness the showdown in the alleyway between Firo and Szilard. At some point in the aftermath, they retrieve Dallas' body along with his goons, and transport them to a warehouse. They bind their captives' hands and feet, and place them in separate drum canisters. Then, they wait until the three wake up, and proceed to make Dallas and company's punishment very clear: eternal drowning. Keith drops a pack of 52 jokers into Dallas' drum, and Luck and Berga make a show of giving Dallas a choice of a recreational object to use in the drum (which would obviously be useless).

The brothers fill the drums with cement, and drop them into the Hudson River.

1931 - The Grand Punk Railroad 

Luck and his brothers have contacted their foster brother Claire Stanfield, requiring his help in their feud with the Runorata Family. On December 31, Luck, his brothers, Firo, Ennis, and Maiza head to Pennsylvania Station and wait for the arrival of the Flying Pussyfoot, upon which Claire is working. Once the train arrives, the brothers watch Firo, Ennis and Maiza have their reunions with Isaac and Miria and Czeslaw Meyer. Upon receiving an envelope informing them that Claire is waiting outside, the brothers exit the station to greet him. Claire asks them what they need him to do, and cheerfully informs them that he's met the girl of his dreams.

1933 - The Slash
The Gandors are not pleased; a delinquent gang run by Jacuzzi Splot has been operating on and between their territory (and Martillo territory) without the Gandors' permission. Luck orders Tick Jefferson to go negotiate with the delinquents, and orders Maria Barcelito to act as Tick's bodyguard. He demands that there be no bloodshood, and reminds them that violence is a last resort.

At the end of the story, Luck is informed by Ronny Schiatto that Jacuzzi will pay tribute to both the Martillo and Gandor Families. He is very displeased that Tick and Maria could not procure this information (or an explanation), and he coldly informs them that in the face of their failure they should sell their information to the Daily Days if they want to be paid.

1934 - Alice in Jails
Luck discusses Firo's past with his brothers.

Abilities
Luck possesses absolute immortality. He has good leadership skills, earning him the respect of larger mafia families. While enemies fear him and while he can be quite intimidating, he is not a tyrannical leader; his kindness has earned him the trust of Eve Genoard.
