Luther's Links
Luther was Kostya's boyfriend for a bit and while Luther thought he was the one in control and the one with all the power, that was not entirely the case. Kostya let him treat him poorly because it suited his needs to stick around him in order to keep his own identity a secret, so when he was discovered Kostya pulled a complete 180 on Luther and really showed him just how little control he actually has. They have since been separated, and Kostya has gone back into hiding once those who threatened him were disposed of.
Considered the ranch "manager", Luther once had full control of the ranch's happenings, the owners too old to tend to all of the animals, to monitor all employees and organize all the events. They really gave him all of the power and it went to his head. Now that the owners have died and left the ranch to their young grandson, Luther is finding things much more restricted and personal. He thinks that because he does all of the work, he deserved to be the owner, not some teenage brat who knows nothing about running a business. As such, Luther feels slighted by Darien's presence on the ranch and is always giving the dino a hard time, making excuse after excuse as to why he should abandon the ranch and go back to his dumb thug lifestyle in the city. Obviously this does nothing but aggravate the people around them and frankly Luther could care less and continues to fight and spit and froth at the mouth over his 19 year old boss. He does not appreciate his power being taken from him.
Darien did not know Luther very well, in fact he met the dalmatian for the first time when he moved into the three story mansion of a farm house. It was left to him by his grandparents along with a BIG chunk of money and he has every intention of running the place like a proper boss should. Unfortunately, Luther, the ranch "manager" so to speak, has no intention of working for a teenage thug. Luther thinks Darien is not qualified enough and is constantly giving him a hard time. Fortunately, Darien is oblivious to this unrest between them and is always kind to Luther, even if his presence does take away most of the canine's power to control what happens on the ranch. Unlike the previous owners, Darien is deeply involved in the ranch and how it works, so Luther has much less power than he was used to. Darien just thinks he needs to get a girlfriend and chill out.
Jax likes to fuck around with Luther both figuratively and literally. Luther, despite thinking he is the smartest person in the room, was surprisingly easy to manipulate for Jax as he knew how to play to Luther's ego. He doesn't genuinely like Luther but plays a roll of somebody who looks up to him and can be taken advantage of by the dog. Even though it's really Jax pulling the strings. Mostly in an attempt to get an in to have a shot with Kostya. And also general chaos. The chaos is also very fun. At least, that used to be the case. Now he is more or less being blackmailed by Luther. Guess he fucked around and found out.
