Lucas "Big Man" Broad is the leader of the Blasphemers, a "spook gang" that plays a role early in the Orpheus storyline. He is also one of the Flatliners. Broad earned his nickname due to his immense size; he is both tall and extremely well-muscled. Growing up on the streets, he was a gang member by age 12 and had killed by the age of 14. He became known for his ruthlessness when it came to rubbing out other gangs who dared cross his path, and was usually used to patrol gang territory or to provide protection and drug deals and meetings. * Orpheus: Shades of Gray, p. 56 -58
