"Lucas relied on his father's religious teachings to survive his time in Russian custody (ending up having multiple tattoos; including onion domes bearing the three-barred-cross of the Russian Orthodox Church; one for each year of his incarceration, as well as the words "Gnothi Seauton" - translated as "Know Thyself"; are across his stomach, and "Dum Spiro Spero" - translated as "While I breathe, I hope"; are across his shoulders).
