Born into the wealthy Lukesteel family, Hugo is the current Minister of Nova Voltex.

Background

The Lukesteel family name is one of prestige and success thanks to their business that carries their namesake - Lukesteel Corporation. Founded about 500 years ago by Mason Kai as a local business out of the town of Gearinpoint, Lukesteel quickly gained success when Mason Kai's work on the city's naval defenses held off an impending pirate raid. Wealth followed Mason's path and he would build up his company, allowing him to leave it to his twin daughters Opal and Ruby.

The twins would be co-owners of the corporation and whilst Opal managed the contracts and seeing to finishing projects, Ruby focused on expanding their firm all across the Chronoworth Reef, opening new business opportunities in other towns like Fexham, Noztown and Skipfort. This would cause tension between the sisters as Opal found it increasingly harder to manage the projects that came in. The company would face a difficult current as Ruby lost her life at the spry age of 41, leaving the firm fully in Opal's hands.

Opal's son, Blake, would inherit the company from his mother when he finished his education in Steamgear, using the influence he had accrued to network with others and forge a stronger future for the Lukesteel Corporation. Ultimately he would take the firm away from the small towns in Chronoworth and into the capital, becoming a key figure in working with other wealthy families to build their homes and businesses for them. Blake would lead the family and the company till the age of 97 when he and his wife Sera would die during the Luxfordian Siege of Steamgear during the Grand War.

Fortunately the family would not end with Blake's death. His own son, the young and impressionable Hugo would become the new patriarch of the family business. At the age of 36, the Fenik took up a rifle and harnessed his piloting skills to join the city's defenses as a member of the Mechanical League of Defense. Even when the battle was lost and he was forced to retreat with the rest of his kind, Hugo became involved in the resistance shortly thereafter. He would fight in a forward force in the Liberation Front, making great efforts in liberating his homeland.

After the war ended, the lands of the Fenik were left in disarray. While smaller settlements escaped most of the damage, Steamgear was left in ruin, becoming a crater of rubble and ash. Hugo used the teachings of his father to step up and lead the recreation of the capital city, assuring that all who lost their homes in the war could live sheltered under a solid roof once more. Hugo's efforts would be recognised by then-Minister Fex Mechalink, who would endorse him to the position of the new Minister. In 3005, with the restoration of the city largely complete after two years of toil, Hugo would be voted in as the new Minister of the Nova Voltex, ascending his business to that of high recognition and privilege. Due to his new-found responsibilities as Minister, Hugo would later transfer the role of CEO to his partner Alex Spring. Hugo would remain in an advisory role for the company.

Hugo continues to lead the Nova Voltex through the Era of Healing. He is clear in his policies of improving the lives of the general populous as well as expanding the military strength of the Fenik to assure they are ready for any potential conflict that may boil. He seeks to mechanise the army, giving his funding to the Mechanical League of Defense as well as personally designing some of the attack vehicles of the military company.

Powers and Abilities

As a political figure, Hugo's skills are geared towards diplomacy and business. Nevertheless, he is a pilot of some renown who flew his custom-built TW-8000 on two separate fronts.

Combat Class - Pilot
Hugo Lukesteel earned his pilot training from the Mechanical League of Defense when he was still considered an older kit. He is capable of skilled maneuvers in flight and extreme accuracy against enemy forces. His TW-8000 has become a hallmark model in the League that other pilots now also operate.

Business Heir
While he is not as capable as a businessman like his bloodline, Hugo has learned through experience as the Minister the skills needed to be an influential figure. He is highly intelligent in networking, like his father, and surrounds him with other powerful figures.
