Biography/Backstory:

 Luka Kovacic was born in a suburb of the city of Osijek, Croatia during one of his parents' frequent business trips. This one had been a particularly lengthy trip as his mother went further along in her pregnancy. Milo, his father, was the president of oil company IZB, based 4 miles from the family's home in Zagreb, and husband to Luka's mother, a lawyer. He was raised in Zagreb, the Croatian capital, and studied at a private high school, where he graduated. His father got him a job as an ironworker at a construction company his father previously worked at. After have a year Luka had a strong desire to go to college. It was paid for by his father, and he was majoring in mechanical engineering.

   His education was abruptly ended by the Combine invasion. Once the Combine was established on Earth he was sent to City 17, where he supported the CCA because he was treated relatively well. Several months after his 22nd birthday Luka became an official loyalist. He had not graduated from the university, but was only months off when his education was interrupted, so he had a degree in mechanical engineering in all terms except official. He was comfortable in City 17, where he was closer to Croatia than other cities, but shortly thereafter, he was relocated to City 22, where he longed to put his skills to use. He decided to apply for the Civil Worker Union's Maintenance division.

Love it man. Really like everything about it. Handymen characters always make me smile. Cool to see someone who isn't a doctor or a lawyer or a football king in space.
