Explaining Chaim Amalek is more than I care to type here. Basically it's a friend of Lukes from NYC, who has his ear and advises him from time to time. Honestly, the best place to get caught up on Luke and his cast of characters is to visit his fanblog's site. The guy is hilarious. He's the one who does the killer Luke cartoons and coined him "Horridboy"
