Luxus Dreher is a S-Class mage of Fairy Tail, and is also the grandson of Makarov.
Luxus Dreher
Backround
Luxus Dreher is a 23-year-old mage who uses lightning-based attacks and various other types of magic in Fairy Tail. He is one of the strongest mage candidates in Fairy Tail and is an S-Class mage, along with Erza, Mist Gun, and Gildartz. Like many members of the guild, Luxus has been a part of Fairy Tail since he was a child, given that he is also Makarov's grandson. As a result, he is considered and feared as a very likely candidate to succeed Makarov as guild master.
Personality
Luxus claims to be the strongest member of Fairy Tail. He wears a pair of magic spiked headphones ("sound-pot") and is often seen smoking a cigar. Luxus also has a mysterious scar that runs down the right side of his face. Luxus seems to care very little about his fellow guildmates. When asked to come back and assist them in the fight against the Phantom Lord guild, he laughed and refused. Luxus went on to say that Makarov was at fault for starting the fight in the first place, and that Makarov should hurry up and retire so that he could become the new leader. Luxus showed a lecherous side to his personality as he said that he'd agree to come back and help if Lucy promised to become his girl. He also tried to get Kana to strip for him if they wanted his help. In chapter 106 it reveals when he was younger, he didn't have a scar and he was a truly kind boy.

While he is a likely candidate to succeed Makarov, Makarov believes Luxus's intentions are not yet right. Luxus states that when he inherits leadership of Fairy Tail, he will eliminate all the weak members to create the strongest guild in the country. But when Makarov thought about his succession he assumed that his mentality was a problem, so it was not really possible. He appears to have had the scar on his face at a young age, as it's seen in Erza's flashback.
Synopsis
Garuna Island Arc
Luxus first made himself known when he commented on Mist Gun, Natsu wanted to fight him but Marakov stopped them. Later, when it was revealed that Natsu had a S-Ranked mission, Luxus claimed he knew all about it but he didn't do anything about it. After Marakov pleaded with him to get Natsu back, Luxus declined.
Phantom Lord Arc
Luxus did not bother coming to Fairy Tail's aid during the war on Phantom Lord. He claimed he would help only it Lucy would become his girl. She refused him and he didn't help at all. Later, after the war ended, Luxus showed up and acted very arrogantly, mocking Shadow Gear for their defeat against Gazille Reitfox, and claiming that if he had been there, Phantom Lord wouldn't have dealt them so much damage. This aggravated Natsu to the point where he almost punched Luxus, but with his powers, he avoided confrontation, and left, stating that he would remove all weak members from Fairy Tail once he became guild master.
Fighting Festival Arc
Lately, Luxus (out of anger due to the "weakness" of certain members) has made a play for the Guild itself by having Evergreen turn Kana, Lluvia, Mirajane, Erza, Lévi, Visca and Lucy to stone, and having Fried Justine lock Marakov, Natsu, and Gazille in the Guild building. His plan involved having the members fight each other in order to defeat him, and if they didn't, the petrified members would crumble to dust. However, with the defeat of Evergreen at the hands of Erza, and the untimely arrival of Mist Gun, his plan seems to crumble in on itself.
However, as he brewed over Evergreen's defeat, Luxus activated his "Hall of Thunder" spell which will destroy the entire town.
Luxus soon finds that Mist Gun has found him, he then believes that either him or himself are the strongest in Fairy Tail. He then reveals he knows something about Mist Gun which greatly angers him. The two then begin fighting
Magic & Abilities
Lightning Magic: Luxus is a user of Lightning magic, which allows him to control and make lighting appear from almost anywhere.

When all of the orbs are released at once, everything below and above the circle is struck by powerful lightning bolts equivalent to the number of lachryma orbs.
