* TheBigGuy: Displays most if not all of the traits one of these typically possesses, even at one time charging into a wall to break out of a locked room. Funnily enough Luke and Jake are around the same size.
* ItsPersonal: [[spoiler: Rescuing Sarah becomes this for Luke after Maddy Hayes killed his friend Jake]].
* TheLancer: To Jake in ''Close Quarters'', though the reverse was true during their time in Afghanistan. [[spoiler: He is promoted to main protagonist for the rest of the movie after Jake is killed by Maddy and her mooks.]]
* MrExposition: Within minutes of his introduction, Luke explains that he was once Jake's commanding officer and mentor -- and he explains this to Jake himself, as though he didn't already know who he was.
* OldSoldier: Luke is a grizzled old veteran who did several tours in Afghanistan, and he is pretty quick to tell old war stories.

* CombatMedic: By ''Battleground'' and ''Close Quarters'' Jake is working as an EMT, and there are scenes in both where he is working to use his medical knowledge to try and save someone's life. That said, he is still a marine who can take on several armed men by himself, and he is a total badass doing it.
