Luca is a side character, typically involved in the Inquisition when they have need of an extra Seeker, though tends to come and go on assignment. While he can be a social butterfly, when not finding a real need or use in it, he keeps to himself. But, if he's in town, he's likely to stop by the tavern and get shit-faced at least once, and then go to the Chantry the next morning to pray off the hangover. He'll often chat with people here and there seemingly for being friendly, but mostly for information gathering. He's all about dat info hoarding lyfe. IMPORTANT NOTE: it is not readily apparent that Luca is a Seeker. The character was constructed to be a spy of sorts, and given the capacity Seekers fill in the Templar Order, it's pretty detrimental to his work if people know they're talking to a Seeker. He doesn't outwardly wear his Seeker gear unless he needs it on a mission specifically utilizing his status as one. Only those that really know him personally, like Wren or Gervais or Julian, and those who work with the Seeker order would be aware.
Reputation
Antivan Nobility: He was born the first son of a noble merchant family and didn't leave Antiva until about 16 or 17, so anyone who'd been part of that social circle about 10+ years back would've known him by his full name - Luciano Montalis Della Scalla, though he goes by just Luca Montalis now. His younger sister ended up taking over the family business instead of him, and his parents were pretty enraged at him for abandoning it for Templar life. It's somewhat of a family scandal, especially considering they probably had connections and possible marriage deals and other crap set up for him before he peaced out, so they try not to mention his existence anymore in Antiva.
Templar: He's been trained and risen through the ranks of the Templar Order probably from 17 to 24ish, though I haven't decided yet where he'd have been stationed. After leaving them for the Seekers, he's likely been assigned investigations into Templar misconduct (you may have been investigated or watched an investigation, or learned about him lyrium torturing some peeps) or hunting particularly tricky apostates. He didn't split from the Chantry with Lambert, though, to take the Templar side of the Mage-Templar war.
Seeker: On the Seekers - Given how small that order is, it's likely anyone else who's been with the Seekers in the last 5 or so years would be pretty familiar with him. He's still pretty young, though graduated out of apprenticeship and toddling around after senior Seekers, now on his own assignments.
Luca's fairly easy to get along with, knows how to be charming and likable given the upbringing with nobility. While he doesn't always make a point to be likable, he usually starts off with any strangers at that point, especially ones he foresees himself being around for more than ten minutes. The longer someone knows him, the more apparent it'll become that he's kind of a prick, but he does have a genuine care for what he does and the religious depth within it. He leans towards being very private, but close friends will have been welcome to know his more honest thoughts and feelings on things.
