In addition, Luke is Clary Fairchild’s and Simon Lewis’ friend (Shadowhunters: 1.01). Also, Olivia Wilson is his former partner on the Police Force (Shadowhunters: 2.11, 3.11). Furthermore, he was Valentine Morgenstern’s parabatai (Shadowhunters: 1.06). However, their parabatai bond was broken by Valentine when he set Luke up to be scratched by a werewolf.

In addition, he was also for a time the Head of the New York City Werewolf Pack (Shadowhunters: 1.05, 2.18, 3.09).
