Luka Couffaine-Stone is a major character of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir. He is Juleka's older twin brother. In season 3, he receives the Snake Miraculous from Ladybug, which, when inhabited by the kwami Sass, can transform him into Viperion, a snake-themed superhero.
He is voiced by Andrew Russell in the English dub, Maxime Baudouin in the original French version, and Yūichirō Umehara in the Japanese dub.
Appearance[]
As a civilian, he has aqua eyes and medium-length black hair that includes dyed teal blue tips. His lips are pale pink, and he has a Roman nose.
As Viperion, he wears a black and cyan suit, appearing to be slender and muscular. His suit has a snake texture along with the same kind of underbelly like a snake and he has a cyan-colored mask around his eyes. His weapon appears to be a harp or lyre.
Personality[]
In contrast to his younger sister Juleka, Luka has a calm and mysterious personality. He is adept at reading other people's emotions and claims he can express them better with music than with words. He is also a very kind and generous person, which especially shows when he's around his crush Marinette.
Despite his kindness, the episode "Silencer" shows that his niceness does have its limits when Bob Roth and XY plagiarized his and Marinette's band's song and costume, followed by Bob threatening to use his power in the music industry to make Marinette look like the plagiarist, causing him to get angry enough to be akumatized.
Powers and abilities[]
As a civilian[]
Luka is excellent at playing his guitar. In "Frozer", he's also good at ice skating and is also fairly strong as he can lift Marinette Dupain-Cheng with ease.
Luka can also play the guitar since he was a baby.
As Viperion[]
Like all Miraculous wielders, Viperion has enchanted abilities like speed and strength, and most notably agility, being able to jump much higher than either Ladybug or Cat Noir. His weapon is his lyre. His special ability is called Second Chance, which allows them to mark a place on his bracelet and use it to go back in time after an undesirable outcome occurs.
Biography[]

Miraculous New York[]
Season 4[]
In "Truth", he gets akumatized again. This time into the titular villain due to obsessing over what Marinette is hiding, because of her secret heroic actions as Ladybug. Using his abilities, he learns that his favorite rocker Jagged Stone is his biological father who confirms it.
Season 5[]
In "Jubilation", Viperion is among the superheroes attending Ladybug and Cat Noir's wedding in the dream caused by Gift/Jubilation when they are fighting Darker Owl in reality.
In "Determination", to try and help restore morale to Paris because of losing Viperion and the other heroes, Grevin Museum curator Veronique has a wax figurine of Viperion made, alongside those of the rest of the team, in hopes of helping to boost hope. When Mayor Bourgeois, under Chloe's influence again, refuses to let the figures be displayed, Veronique is Akumatized by Monarch into Manipula, bringing the wax figures of Viperion and the others to life to try and make Manipula look like a hero by bringing the team back.
However, Luka learns of Ladybug and Cat Noir's civilian identities, but realizing if he gets Akumatized, he could expose them to Monarch, he chooses to flee Paris to protect them, joined by his father, Jagged Stone. Some time after that, he and Jagged join Grandmaster Su-Han and are trained in Mira-Kung Fu by him to become members of the Guardians.
In the season finale, "The Last Day", Monarch launches his endgame with Operation Perfect Alliance, first creating nightmares for everyone as Nightormentor, including Luka, then using the Alliance Rings to turn anyone wearing them into Miraculized soldiers to hunt down Ladybug and Cat Noir, and attack anyone who is aligned with them. As Luka, Su-Han, Jagged, Penny, and the other Guardians try to fight the Miraculized in South America, Bunnyx arrives to take them to Paris to help out there. Joined by the United Heroez and Ladydragon, they do their best to fight the Miraculized, and Luka reunites with Juleka, but it proves to be a losing fight, as Knightowl and Ladydragon are overpowered, Luka succumbs to his nightmares from Nightormentor, and Majestia returns to report having found no sign of Ladybug or Cat Noir. Thankfully, before they are overrun, as seen in "Miraculous World London", Ladybug uses her Miraculous Ladybug to undo all the effects of Operation Perfect Alliance, including Nightormentor's nightmares, saving everyone. Afterwards, realizing it is too dangerous to keep all the Miraculous together under her watch, after she restores the Miraculous back to their original forms before Monarch's modifying of them, Marinette decides to entrust Sass and the Snake Miraculous to Luka full-time, along with returning Roaar and the Tiger Miraculous to Juleka, allowing them to become Viperion and Purple Tigress again permanently, restoring the French Miraculous Superhero Team to full strength for dealing with the new Hawk Moth in the future.
