preface
what follows here is a lot of words about an opinion/theory that i have that I would categorize as "strong opinion, loosely held". if you strongly feel otherwise, that's fine! it's a theory/headcanon at this point, and for a number of reasons I'm not sure (and possible don't want to know?) if this is going to be confirmed. Andor, as a show, doesn't seem particularly interested in giving a simple answer to the question of Luthen's past, and I'm ok with that if that's all we get.
The following post contains spoilers for technically just up to Andor episode 10, but it's sort of all about a major character in the series so I would not recommend reading if you are interested in watching Andor.
Now, to begin.
