Lachlan Luthor was the father of Lionel Luthor and grandfather of Lex, Julian, and Lucas.
[edit] Early Life
Lachlan Luthor was born in 1916 in Scotland. He eventually married Eliza Meehan and had a son, Lionel, where he grew up in Suicide Slums of Metropolis.
[edit] Season Three
In the year 1961, Lachlan was in Smallville. He tried to steal Louise McCallum's purse, but was tossed aside by Jor-El, who was posing as Joe. He was soon hired by Billy Tate (an officer at the time) to kill Joe the Drifter. Billy let him out of jail, and Lachlan went to the McCallum farm. He came upon Jor-El and Louise in the barn, and shot at Jor-El. The bullets bounced off of him and hit Louise, killing her.
Around the late 1970's, his son Lionel partnered with Morgan Edge to kill his parents in order to claim the insurance money. They set a fire in his parents apartment, killing Lachlan and his wife Eliza.
Years later, Lachlan's grandson, Lex, questioned his father about his grandparents after talking to Clark about a Lachlan Luthor who was arrested for attempted theft. Lionel said that they died in a fire but, after further investigation, Lex discovered that Lionel was responsible. Lachlan was avenged, as Lex built up a case against Lionel, who went to jail as a result fo his crime. Lionel was ultimately killed by his son, just as Lachlan had been killed by his son.
