Luca is as alien to this world as the elementals and demons summoned by brave and foolish spell casters. The world he came from was called Earth, where he was a priest in training in the city that was the center of one of the world's largest religions. There he was specializing in tracking down and eradicating demons that crawled their way up from Hell. In this world demons and angels were beings of myth, and exorcists were seen as saviors by some and charlatans as most. Secluded deep in the forbidden libraries of the Vatican, Luca had stumbled across a very old book apparently forgotten by all. The spidery and cryptic lettering across the spine made his skin crawl, but the scholar in him could not resist, and he opened it. The words directly on the inside cover called to him, and he worked to pronounce them out loud.

As soon as he read the last syllable, the world spun around him, and the words burned with an inner fire. There was a sense of falling followed by slamming into something, and Luca blacked out. When he woke up, he was staring at a sky with two moons, and the tribe of small, green skinned humanoids was going crazy as he bleed onto their most holy of holies. Before they could sacrifice him, the wisest of them, the keeper of their lore and legends, recognized the Sect tattoo on Luca's head as part of a prophecy the shaman's in his tribe had never thought would come. He stopped his tribe, and took Luca under his guidance, teaching the big human the goblin language and culture, as well as what he knew about the outside world.
