Biography[]
Luther used to be an elite soldier in The Vietnam War. At one point during his service, Luther dropped from the army due to post-traumatic syndrome disorder. His years as a veteran were spent at a secluded territory next to a parking lot. No one in Atlanta knew for sure about the circumstances behind Luther's dropping. However, there were insistent rumors about a children murderer named Hook Man, and the possibility that Luther is Hook Man was enough to prevent anyone from getting near his house at night.
On Halloween night of 2010, Luther encountered the Elliot brothers, Marcus and Deion Elliot, who unwittingly entered his turf to retrieve a lost candy. The two children had split up and eventually found the candy, only for Luther to arrive, and stab Deion in the back with his hook, proving the rumors have some base in reality.
Eight years later, Marcus, accompanied by Liv Reynolds and Amir Ayoub, sneaked into Luther's turf for finding clues about Hook Man and the disastrous night of Deion's death. Luther found Amir, kidnapped him and was about to kill him with the hook, like he did to Deion 8 years ago. Marcus tackled him at the last minute, ready to strike him with his bat.
Marcus and his friends confronted him about the incident. Luther's response led to a heated argument, which concluded after Luther showed them Deion's resting place inside a trunk. He pretended he mistook Deion for an intruder due to his Ghostface custom and invoked Marcus' guilt for hating him all these years.
Marcus and his friend left the scene. Luther went back to his business, but being assaulted by Ghostface. Marcus heard Luther's shouting and was warned about Ghostface's presence. Luther and Ghostface clashed with Luther's hook against Ghostface’s knife. Ghostface overpowered him and chained him to the inside of a car compactor. Marcus attempted to help him, but Ghostface has sabotaged the machine so it won't turn off and Hook Man is crushed to death.
In "Endgame", Jamal Elliot revealed that he was the Ghostface who stabbed and killed Hookman. he planned Luther's death ever since he was eight, and the night he killed Luther was one of his best moments.

Trivia[]
- Luther Thompson is the only killer in the franchise who killed a child.
- Despite his lack of sadism, Luther is still considered to be a bad man. He could've easily reported the cops about the death of Deion Elliot and not being held legally responsible due to being a former war hero, yet chose to keep it to himself until being forced to admit it after a confrontation with Marcus and his friends.
- Luther is the first African-American killer in the franchise, followed by Jamal Elliot, who later killed him.
- Luther killing Deion led to the chain reaction that resulted with Jamal's vendetta towards Marcus. The said chain reaction also laid the ground for Beth's partnership with Jamal, and therefore Luther is the heavy of the third season.
- Luther is the second killer in the franchise who is not a Ghostface (or Lakewood Slasher), the first being Tom Martin and the third being Jason Carvey.
- Luther was based on Candyman, and was even played by the same actor.
