Luster Gibson
Luster is an African-American, the son of Frony Gibson, and a servant to the Compson family. He is Benjy's caretaker and playmate in 1928, when Benjy is thirty-three years old. The Compson Appendix says that Luster is 14 years old at this time and “was not only capable of the complete care and security of an idiot twice his age and three times his size, but could keep him entertained (348).
