“Stupid people birth stupid people. That's how it always will be in this world, no matter how much someone tries to defy fate.”
Lukas Orlov is the protagonist of Ace of Spades. He is the leader of the Dzhokers rebellion called ‘ACE’. He is the eldest son of an immigrant family whose goal is to stop the corrupted system of Hartlovka's jailhouse by using his ability given by Barok, called ‘Fortuna’—that lets him predict someone's death.

Born from a loving family of immigrants in the slums, Lukas was the eldest of eleven siblings, whom he supports by fortune telling. When Hartlovka rose as the nation's prime minister, he was accused of murdering a client and sent to C-C.O.R.D as a test subject. Despite being incapacitated, Lukas managed to escape his cell—ultimately becoming the vigilant ‘ACE’ after becoming the first to defy the facility’s security.
As a result of being experimented, Lukas obtained Fortuna, and taking advantage of Barok’s assistance, he established the Dzhokers after encountering the deranged Kieran, the emotionally unstable Stella, and Hartlovka's morally conflicted daughter, Marina. At the final events of the story, with the end of C-C.O.R.D, Lukas loses his left eye and becomes permanently distraught after shooting Marina and leaving the country for good.
Lukas is an intelligent young man but can come off as extremely harsh and pessimistic. He also has a habit of calling his peers by their surnames, dislikes stupidity, and tends to generalize. Lukas can be greedy, resulting in his gambling habits and tendency to abuse his connections with people. As much as he feels ashamed for apologizing, he goes as far as to make up for his faults. Lukas would suffer from a panic attack when he fails to save someone's life. This can also make him very considerate of other people's well-being.
Although he struggled with trusting people, Lukas began to deeply cherish his closest peers and the Dzhokers, and acknowledges them as individuals. He never doubts them and depends on their skills and judgment to make the right decision for their goals to escape the hellish facility. He values their lives, as he does for the prisoners who suffer under Hartlovka's tyranny despite the crimes they've committed. In desperate times, he gets overprotective of his friends, as an effect to his trauma when his family was murdered.
Lukas is a pale and slim young man with unkept tan hair and scarlet eyes. Similar to Marina’s, his black left eye with a star-shaped pupil is the result of having gained Fortuna. He has graze scars around his shoulders, chest, and arms, which he keeps hidden by wearing scarves and gloves. He also wears light piercings.
Lukas wears the C-C.O.R.D prisoner uniform but included a long thick black scarf, ushanka with goggles attached, and gloves as ACE. He keeps a black spade-shaped necklace that Stella made as identification accessories for the Dzhokers.
