Description
Luck Gandor is the youngest of the three Gandor brothers, who collectively lead the Gandor family, a mafia organization based in Little Italy, New York. Born into a life of organized crime, Luck grew up in the same apartment block as Firo Prochainezo, and the two have been close friends since childhood, a bond that cements the alliance between the Gandor and the Martillo families. Where his older brothers Keith and Berga are known for raw strength and directness, Luck serves as the family’s strategist and mediator, frequently handling negotiations and conflict resolution. He is consistently calm and level-headed, preferring to avoid violence whenever possible, but when action becomes unavoidable he does not hesitate to eliminate an opponent, all while maintaining his composed demeanor, often with a faint smile. According to Firo, that smile is a deliberate pretense to appear more cool and ruthless, an act Luck puts on because he privately believes he is not naturally suited to the mafia life. This internal self-doubt contrasts with his outwardly confident and polite manner; he is sociable and speaks formally, even with rivals, and his courtly composure can mask his true feelings.
In November 1930, during a promotion party for Firo, the Gandor brothers accidentally consume what they believe to be wine but is actually the Cure-All Elixir, the substance that grants complete immortality. As a result, Luck becomes one of many accidental immortals in the series, gaining the ability to regenerate from virtually any injury and, over time, the power to absorb other immortals. His immortality is not something he sought, and he treats it as another circumstance to manage with his characteristic pragmatism.
Luck’s most pivotal role in the story unfolds in late 1931, when the Gandor family becomes embroiled in a turf war with the Runorata family over a new drug trade. Seeking a decisive solution, Luck contacts his adoptive brother, Claire Stanfield—a feared freelance assassin known as Vino, who also works as a train conductor. Luck’s request for Claire’s aid sets in motion the chaotic events aboard the Flying Pussyfoot, the transcontinental train, and demonstrates his willingness to use extreme measures when the family is threatened. Throughout this and other conflicts, Luck acts as a stabilizing force for the Gandor family, his strategic mind and unflappable nature proving essential to their survival.
Beyond his loyalty to his blood brothers, his most significant relationship is with Firo Prochainezo. Their mutual trust and respect deepen the alliance between the two crime families and provide Luck with a confidant outside his own family. He also shares a complex connection with Claire, whom he trusts enough to call on when the situation demands an unpredictable, overwhelming force. Over the course of the narrative, Luck begins to embrace his role as a leader more fully, reconciling his self-perceived unsuitability for the mafia with the practical necessity of protecting those he cares about. His development is subtle but meaningful, showing a man who grows into his responsibilities even as he doubts his own right to them.
