Louis (Video Game)

"Aasim loves giving me crap about having a good time, always telling me I’m not thinking long term. “We need to guarantee our future,” all that horseshit. But I tell him right back, there’s only one guarantee: this moment. That’s the only thing you got. The only thing any of us got. Might as well enjoy it."

- Louis to Clementine (Determinant).

Louis, sometimes referred to as Lou, is a main character who first appears in Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: Season Four. He's a hunter for Ericson's Boarding School and Marlon's best friend.

Ericson's Boarding School
Nothing is known about Louis' life prior to or as the outbreak began. He was a student at the Ericson's Boarding School and was best friends with Marlon.

Season 4
Louis wants to preserve the old world such as art, music and culture.

"Done Running"
Louis is first shown playing piano to AJ to calm him down. He greets Clementine and tells her that Marlon left her bag in the room somewhere. After Clementine finds her bag, she asks him if he knows any other songs. He responds by saying "Well there is one, but you're armed." Then he plays "Oh My Darling, Clementine".

Marlon comes into the piano room and asks Clementine and Louis for help with the walkers. As they exit the boarding school, Louis tries to mediate an altercation between Violet and Clementine. It only works halfway, to which he assures Clementine that Violet "grows on you." He then introduces Clem to his weapon of choice, a chair leg, reinforced with a few nails, that he's nicknamed "Chairles.” He helps kill the walkers that have made their way to the school, and compliments Clementine’s walker killing. He also introduces her to the unique traps set to kill the walkers.

After the hunting party comes back, Louis walks with Clem and Violet back to the boarding school. He teases Violet that she gave a poor performance and then goes on to say that Clem gave a "solid A".

If you choose to go hunting with Louis and Aasim, Louis told them "In my defense, I do get things down, I just prefer to see it as a day to day task". Louis later sees a walker hanging in one of there traps and decides to play piniata with him while Aasim goes hunting. Clementine can choose if she wants to help Louis with his "walker piniata" or Aasim with his duty.
