Robert Sullivan was Luke's father, a military doctor of Irish descent[1].
In his youth, Robert was a military chaplain, having been raised in a Catholic household. Feeling that faith alone would not help, Robert actively joined the frontlines as a soldier. However, his guilt for partaking in the act of killing led to him being unqualified for priesthood, leading to Robert abandoning his faith. Robert transferred to rear support to raise his newly born son Luke, who had been born with a congenital illness.
Robert's quiet and reserved personality along with his non-active role in military office led to Luke growing disrespectful of his father, having since recovered from his illness and living an active lifestyle. In spite of their contrasting personalities, Robert rarely reprimanded his son's behavior, further distancing the two. Only when Luke started acquainting with a drug dealer did Robert reveal his assertive side, striking his son and demanding that he end all contact.
One day, Robert discovered a terrorist IED while at a shopping mall with Luke. Calmly and assertively, he guided his son and the surrounding shoppers to evacuate the building before confronting a suicide bomber, buying time by persuading the perpetrator. However, Robert ended up dying in the resulting explosion, sacrificing his life in exchange for the safety of the public.
Luke's shock at discovering the depths of his father's selflessness led to him learning about Robert's past as a soldier, inspiring him to join the army to fight against terrorism. However, after an encounter with his superior Guile, Luke decides to honor Robert by forging his own path instead.
Trivia
- According to the dog tags worn by Luke in his birthday art, Robert is listed as Catholic.
