Lutran
MinorLutran is a human male wearing a knee-length open coat over wide pants and a knee-length shirt featuring eye-catching colors and patterns. His clothes are spotlessly clean, appearing as if they have just come from a sterilization unit or recycler. The overall style is a common human clothing combination but distinguished by its bold patterns, allowing him to blend in as an ordinary legitimate visitor while moving along the station's walkways.
Lutran appears only in Fugitive Telemetry as a human male whose impeccably styled, boldly patterned clothing marks him as just another station visitor—until his body is discovered floating near Preservation Station. Murderbot's investigation reveals that the seemingly ordinary traveler was deeply involved in a refugee-smuggling operation, using his unassuming presence to move people through secure areas. His death, initially appearing as an accident or random violence, turns out to be a targeted killing tied to the very network he helped run. Through forensic analysis and hacked feeds, Murderbot uncovers Lutran's full role, exposing the larger conspiracy and ensuring justice for the victims he both aided and ultimately endangered.
