As an adult, Luca Blight was a truly terrifying man of immense stature and physical strength and of unbridled rage. His father, who had never been too harsh on Luca due to the incident some years prior which ironically earned further ire from Luca, eventually placed him in complete control of the [[Highland Army]]. With this power, Luca began to plan for his revenge on the City-State. | As an adult, Luca Blight was a truly terrifying man of immense stature and physical strength and of unbridled rage.

Working with Jowy and Jowy's strategist, [[Leon Silverberg]], Luca plotted to poison his father, Agares. Agreeing to a marriage between Jowy and Jillia, Jowy poisoned his own blood.
