Lugh is named directly after the one of the most prominent god in Irish mythology, Lugh, the god of justice, oath keeping and nobility, a member of the Tuatha Dé Dannan. The Tuatha Dé Dannan, which House Tuatha Dé in the anime is named after, is the pantheon of Celtic gods, similar to the Olympians in Greek Mythology or Æsir of Norse Mythology.

Mythology Lugh is regarded as both savior and trickster, and is celebrated for his skills in craftsmanship and battle as warrior king and a master craftsman - many aspects of which we can see in our assassin Lugh.

Both Lugh's fathers are named Cian, and their mothers both have names starting with E, Ethniu for mythology Lugh, and Esri for assassin Lugh.

Mythology Lugh's wields a number of weapons, two of the most famous are:

The Spear of Assal - Unbeatable in battle, it takes the form of lightning when thrown. At a word "Ibar", it would hit its mark and at another "Athibar", it would return to him. Assassin Lugh is also associated with spears with Tarte. From Tarte's page on the Wiki,

A cloich tabaill (a slingshot) - Mythology Lugh uses this to slay his grandfather, Balor the Strong-Smiter. Assassin Lugh also uses ranged weapons in the form of a magic sniper rifle.

Mythology Lugh is the father of Cú Chulainn a famous Irish demigod who's name you might recognize from the Lancer ga Shinda anime... Sorry, I meant as Lancer from the Fate series.

Cú Chulainn uses the legendary spear Gae Bolg, which has already made an appearance in the anime in episode 10 when Maha reported to assassin Lugh that she had found the divine treasure - the magic spear Gae Bolg.
