Physique
Although his height is average (5'8), Lutto is often called shorty by people around him. He is slender, has fair skin and long limbs. Lutto can be pretty much described with one word: “Unkempt”. He has raven-black, messy hair that slightly touches his shoulders. His fringe is composed by irregular locks that entirely cover his eyebrows and part of his eyes, which have a sickly light green color on them. His eyes have ever-present dark circles under them, giving him a tired, sleepy look. A pair of black jackal ears protrude from his head. Lutto has sharp cheebones, a high nose bridge and thin eyebrows. Most of the time he has an unamused expression on his face, weary, his lips curved into an unpleased gesture. His eyes almost always have a dull look on them, as if he was continuously bored.

Personality
At first sight, Lutto is a socially awkward, shy boy, who tries to be as nice as possible so he doesn't get in trouble. He is kind and gentle on the outside, with a streak of innocence. On the inside, however, he is a much darker individual: He constantly comments on everything and everyone, ridiculizing them with sarcastic remarks that shall never leave his mind. He finds irony on the tiniest things, and likes finding flaws on people's plans, just to feel a little “better” than them. This shows he sometimes has the need of feeling a little “superior” over others, even if it is a little thing. Sometimes, this side of him can accidentally make him say things he will regret later.

Lutto is a calm and level-headed individual. At the same time, he is an incredibly emotionally clumsy person. He isn't good with people; he will sometimes accidentally say inappropiate things, realize what he just said and apologize twenty times before the other person gets tired of him. He thinks relationships are difficult, that they require too much attention and effort and that he is better off alone. Despite his social awkwardness, Lutto is a very polite person who values manners and automatically despises anyone who comes off as a rude person, putting them on his “black list”.

Lutto has a very pessimistic view of the world. He thinks that almost everyone on this world is doomed to do something stupid that will ruin their lives, and that the possibility of that happening to him is very high. A loyal believer of Murphy's law, he is convinced that, if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. His constant paranoia extends to tiny, everyday things, like getting up (he will twist his ankle) putting his shoes on (there will be a spider inside), etc. To hide his natural clumsiness, he will try to act serious and professional, only to end up failing like always, which makes him wonder how some people can do things so naturally well. The tendency of becoming paranoic about everything has luckily given him the ability to pick up the slighest details on things, mostly by thinking how they could go wrong. This makes him able of having an unbiased opinion, an strategical mindset and an objective view of the situation.

Despite his self-deprecating tendencies, Lutto has a brilliant mind. He takes the “learn from mistakes” saying to a whole new level: Each time he does something and he fails, he will take a mental note and not repeat the same mistake, even if it is a very tiny thing. He is a person who is constantly improving, trying to take a step to the right direction. He observes his teammates and tries to pick up their best traits to become a better leader. This makes him a fast learner. His observing skills also make him a brilliant strategist: He perfectly knows what his and his teammates' virtues, weaknesses and limitations are, and is capable of analyzing his opponent and quickly coming up with a plan. Having a natural talent for picking up details and flaws, he uses everything around him to win, even if it means having to recur to “dirty” fighting.

When Lutto trusts someone enough, which is quite rare, he will begin opening. Lutto is an extremely loyal and patient person with those he trusts, and will never abandon them. At the same time, he won't keep his sarcastic remarks for himself and will loudly comment what he thinks.

If confronted by charismatic or otherwise intimidating people that bully him, Lutto will come up with a million comebacks, but won't say anything back. He is, ultimately, a coward, and he knows it. The fear of being hurt and abandoned holds him back from saying anything, which he finds extremely frustrating. One of his goals is to become more brave and to stand up to his enemies one day without being scared.

Although generally a timid, polite person, Lutto does have sudden streaks of audacity, like when there's no escape from a situation and he has to do something about it. In situations like these, he has proven being a talented commander with a knack for leading. He works especially well when he is under pressure.
