Luchist Lasso

Luchist Lasso is an Italian reverend, that is a loyal follower of Asakura Hao, and the creator of the X-Laws.

Appearance
Luchist is a tall and quit muscular man. He has short black hair. He has a short thick black beard around his chin and cheeks and a black cross tattoo beneath his mouth

He is commonly seen wearing a black cloak and a cowboy hat, with a wide shade and with a feather in it. He is often seen carrying around a bible.

Beneath his cloak he wears his more casual clothing that consists of a fine black jacket, a black shirt and a tie.

Like Marco he has his own battle uniform that he usually wear beneath his casual clothing. It consist of a black pair of leather pants and yellow vest with a check pattern. The vest has a hole in the back revealing a tattoo, of the X-Laws sign, on his back.

The holster of his colt is worn in a strap and placed at his left chest.

Personality
He appears calm and confident, and even cares for Marco's well beaing, even offering him a small boat home, so that he could relax and avoid beaing hurt. During battle he remains calm and analytic. But when things intensify he can be carried along. But otherwise he seem to constantly smile while fighting someone. Like any other antagonist he has a tendency to mock his opponent during battle. It is revealed by Marco that he has a love for cars, that no one else knows about. He believes that, by taking part in raising Iron Maiden Jeanne, it should be him who deals with her, at the time they had become enemies.

Abilities and Powers
As a human he does appear with a strong body, powerful enough to wreck a pair of bulletproof glasses. He also seems able to fence with a handgun, as he is seen fighting of Marco with his colt and quickly gaining the upper hand. As a shaman he is not gifted with much more powers than any one else of his level. Like Marco, he can create the strongest condition for an oversoul by using his battle outfit rather than his regular clothing.

Spirit

His spirit, is that of the Fallen Angel, named Lucifer. It is originally a Lamborghini Countach LP400, that gained a spirit from its importance to Luchist and later evolved into a Seirei[Holy]-Class giving it the form of an Archangel. It was the first of the Archangels to be created and can change its oversoul into its original car form. It uses a bullet, fired from Luchist`s colt, as a medium. Like the other Archangels it has the ability to shatter souls.

Chibi Marco-Chan and Luchist Lasso


Luchist Lasso is a Shaman from Sicily, Italy and is born in 1949.

When Marco was young it was Luchist who raised him. At that time was Luchist a reverend in a some sort of church. Towards the present time is Marco still grateful for his upbringing. It was because of Luchist who allowed him to learn ballet and took him to car shows. He allowed him to go to the university and helped him create his own company. Marco was also gratefull to Luchist for creating the X-Laws. Later when Marco had become an adult he and Luchist, when they came to eliminate Hao, met Jeanne. At that time she was nothing, but and orphan born with shamanic powers. They raised her, turning her into a savior and a holly person, making her believe she was destined to destroy all evil. At some point, because he loved his car so much, the "supercar", a Lamborghini Countach LP400, of Luchist gained a spirit that was somehow turned into the first Archangel Lucifer, or "Angel Machine No. 000"

Meeting with Asakura Hao


At some point, as explained by Marco, Hao came and destroyed and killed, everyting and everyone Marco loved and cared about. At another point, according to the side story Relax(released in the japanese-only fan book) Luchist met up with Asakura Hao in america in 1996 and tried to fight him with Lucifer. It is unknown how but he eventually started to believe in Asakura Hao's ideals and gained a great respect for him. Luchist would eventually join up with Asakura Hao and become another one of his "followers".

Shaman Fights
Although not mentioned nor seen, he succesfully passes the test of the Patch Tribe and gains an Oracle Bell. He also succesfully passed through the preliminary rounds. He is first seen on the Patch Jumbo Jet talking to Hao about the other contenstants, and later, he i seen flying on the Spirit of Fire, with Hao and his other "followers", when the Patch dissolved their Patch Jumbo Jet oversoul. After that is he not seen again until Chocolove mentions that there is three strong factions in the tournament and that one of them is Hao and his "followers".

Shaman Tournament
During the first couple of fights in the Shaman Tournament, he acts as nothing more but a background character when Hao watches the fights and is first given a significent role when his team is matched up against one of the X-Laws teams, X-III. During this time he and Opacho were asked by Asakura Hao to step back, and allow him to do all the fighting against X-III. Agreeing, they watched how the Spirit of Fire butchered Meene and Cebin with ease and survived the "Grenade X" by being transformed into water.

Anime/Manga Difference
In the anime his role is verry much downtoned and his past connection to the X-Laws is never mentioned. His medium is also not seen and instead of using a club his Archangel Luficer uses a spiked mace. Also he appears more cruel and villain like. In the 4Kids dub, the black cross on his chin was edited out.
