History[]
2587 Future History[]
Traveler 2587 suffered from night terrors. He had them since childhood and the condition was transferred when he was uploaded into his host into the past. Marcy Warton believed that she could be his sister since she had a brother who suffered from night terrors and because of the limited amount of population left in the future.
Host[]
Prior to being overwritten by a Traveler, Luca was a sous chef in Portland for fifteen years. Marcy asked 2587 about if his host had a wife or children, but he didn't answer.
According to his 2017 FBI profile, Luca was 39 years old and his birthday was 14th December 1977. He also experienced night terrors while in prison. (S2E09: Update)
Traveler 2587[]
Luca had been part of Hall's team for some time before the Core Traveler Team turned up, serving the group in physically demanding situations with his combat and tactical expertise. FBI records on him showed he became wanted for petty theft and assault charges. He once assisted Hall in destroying a bridge that was supposed to cause more casualties if allowed to collapse on its own, though they were forced to hide from authorities who responded at the scene. He holed up with Hall at an abandoned juvie hall and marked its location as a potential safehouse for future use. (S1E04: Hall, S3E06: Philip)
Luca was shot in the abdomen during what was supposed to be a simple exchange with a different Traveler team. He was taken back to their base of operations where Marcy saved him by using the blood of his other team member, Carter, who's dying due to internal bleeding as a result of the same shootout.
Hall and Luca relocated to the core team's Ops after their own base was tracked down by Walt Forbes. While recovering from his injuries, Luca became acquainted with Marcy and learned about their possible familial connection. However, Luca's face was picked up by CCTV while walking outside with Marcy. The issue forced Hall to think about killing Forbes and taking leadership over both teams, and Luca followed his lead.
While en route to deal with Forbes and do the second part of the component handoff initially assigned to them, Luca was confronted by Hall about his potential connection to Marcy. Luca hoped Marcy was right, but Hall told him to put that out of his mind. Luca assured him he was still loyal to Hall, though he wanted to know how they would deal with Grant MacLaren. He accepted it when Hall mused Mac will also have to go if he didn't play ball.
However, Luca and Hall were surrounded by FBI when they arrived at their destination. MacLaren arranged for them to be arrested and sent to prison. Their mission with Carol was fulfilled instead by Trevor Holden and Carly Shannon. (S1E04: Hall)
During Luca's stay in prison, he became bunkmates with Traveler 4024. Because Luca introduced himself as a Traveler, Donner warned him to not break Protocol 2, and affirmed his trust the Grand Plan. Luca had a more jaded perspective and told him to give it some time. (S1E08: Donner)
Luca and Hall were released after a few months and turned up at Trevor's school, scouting the pre-Traveler host of their incoming new Historian. Luca attempted to reconnect with Marcy, who never visited him in prison. It's because she didn't remember their earlier interaction as she was overwritten by an earlier version of herself to keep her from dying. However, this version of Marcy had more doubts if they were really brother and sister as they were separated so long ago. Their conversation was cut short when Marcy had to check on Kathryn MacLaren, though Luca later messaged her that they can continue at any time. Meanwhile, he proceeded to greet and collect their new Historian, who downloaded into the body of Trevor's friend Kyle. (S1E11: Marcy, S2E09: Update)
Hall's team was assigned to protect Anna Hamilton, the future 53rd president of the United States, from the Faction. Luca's concerned that Marcy wasn't present for the mission due to a minor medical procedure. He spent most of the mission physically guarding Anna from harm, and dispatched Faction hostiles who managed to sneak inside their fortified safehouse with lethal efficiency. (S2E10: 21C)
Eventually, Luca switched sides to the Faction, along with Kyle. Kyle leaked an Update gathering of Historians while Luca provided the abandoned juvie hall he used with Hall as a hiding place. He was at Hall's side when they learned the Historians were kidnapped, and revealed his true allegiances when Kyle shot Hall after a firefight commenced. However, Luca wasn't willing to let Hall die dangling over a chainlink fence, so he set his former comrade down. He apologized to Hall, but assured him the Director won't find him because he taught him how to hide.
Thanks to black box tech hooked up to Hall when MacLaren's team found him, they learned of Luca and Kyle's betrayal. Luca also manifested as an avatar in Hall's mind, which led him to think about the hideout he used with Luca after blowing up the bridge. The avatar commented it was a great place to hide, and thus the core team learned where he stashed the Historians.
Luca presided over the Historians' interrogation and sprung to action when Philip Pearson managed to break free. Luca and Kyle intercepted him in a hallway. Luca expressed disillusion to the Grand Plan because of the Director's mistakes, and tried with Kyle to convince Philip to join the Faction. Philip remained loyal, so Luca and Kyle raised their guns to kill him. Before they could fire, they were shot in the back by Carly. (S3E06: Philip)
