Luke hasn’t had an easy life. He was originally created by the alien Bane as part of their plan to take over Earth. Even though he was created by aliens he is fully human. After he helped defeat the Bane Sarah Jane adopted him.
Luke is highly intelligent but apart from that he’s just like any other normal teenage boy.
Luke found his first day adapting to school difficult as it was only a week after the Bane invasion. Luckily he had Maria to help him. As Maria had only just moved to the area they were both new to the school.
Luke and Maria met and befriended Clyde Langer on their first day at school. Together with Sarah Jane Smith, they discovered some of the teachers were Slitheen!
The Slitheen later returned and tried to kidnap Luke by posing as his real parents.
Luke is the only character apart from K9 and Sarah Jane to appear in an episode of Doctor Who. He has appeared in every episode of the Sarah Jane Adventures.
Maria moved into Bannerman Road with her Dad, the house opposite Sarah Jane Smith. The first night she was there she saw a bright light outside her window. She went outside and saw Sarah Jane talking to a Star Poet, a friendly alien that was lost.
Marias Mum and Dad are now divorced. Marias Mum, Chrissie used to visit her and Alan often.
On Marias first day at school she discovered some of the teachers were Slitheen. Together with Sarah Jane’s help they defeated them.

Rani moved into Marias old house with her Mum and Dad. Like Sarah Jane, Rani wants to become a journalist. Living opposite Sarah Jane and wanting to know more about her career it wasn’t long before she found out about the aliens and the attic.

In School Reunion K9 sacrificed himself to stop the Krillitant Invasion. The Doctor knew how much K9 meant to Sarah Jane so he built her a new version.
Sky was a living weapon created by the Fleshkind. The Fleshkind were at war with the Metalkind so they created Sky hoping that a bio-weapon would destroy all the Metalkind and end the war.
