I was asked to tell what his role is but i am unable to understand where he comes into play and what his role within the sotry is...

can anyone else make light of this?

Luchresi never enters the story in the form of a character.  He is simply someone whose name is used in order to get Fortunato's interest up enough to encourage him to jump at the chance to try the amontillado.  Luchresi, like Fortunato, is another wine expert.  Montresor threatens to take Luchresi to the coveted amontillado if Fortunato isn't interested.

Luchresi was only in one part of  when Montresor just said that to get his revenge on Forunato. He is not really that much of  important character in the story.
