==Story==
===Background===
After the outbreak took place, Louie would become a member of the Hilltop Colony and started to work as a vintner, together with a man named Larry who would become his best friend. 
 
===A New Beginning===
Louie is seen showcasing Dante the newest batch of wine he and Larry made, after having taste, Dante congratulates them for how it tastes and asks the two men if he could get a bottle of this wine. Larry says their not ready for that yet, with Louie then following that they want to debut the wine during the upcoming fair, hoping to make a lot of profit to become rich. Their conversation is interrupted by Maggie Greene who tells them that she needs Dante. Louie and Larry then store the vat of wine in a stowage room.
 
===Life And Death===
Louie is later present during the fair as he sells wine with Larry, until a mysterious bald woman comes along and lures Larry away from his friend. Louie is then asked for a large order of wine he can’t complete because he’s missing Larry, jokingly saying that he’s envious of Larry as he and the woman that took him away are “getting some action”. Completely unbeknownst to Louie, that woman was the leader of the Whisperers and lured his friend away to decapitate him and places his head on the newly created borders, as revenge for Dante and his group entering their territory and killing a few of their members. 
 
===No Turning Back===
Louie is seen standing amongst the crowd of people, being told the news by Rick Grimes of the missing people and how they’ve been killed. 
Louie would become depressed from losing his friend and began drinking large amounts of alcohol to cope with the grief. 
 
Louie would later be one of the several heartbroken people to personally meet up with Rick Grimes. Louie demands Rick to do something against the Whisperers to help handle the pain of his best friend’s death. 
 
During a second meeting, Rick announces his plan to deal with the Whisperers to many members from different communities, with Louie being present at the announcement.
As Rick tells them his plan, he gets harsh feedback from the people, with Rick eventually telling them that he doesn’t want anyone to do anything stupid. Louie and Morton then angrily begin lashing out at Rick, seeing his remark as an insult. Rick tells them to calm down, only angering Louie more. Rick tells him they’re doing the best what they can do, but Louie throws a glass at Rick claiming that he’s “not doing a fucking thing”. A fight eventually breaks out and Louie participates in it, until Rick fires a gun causing them all to be immediately quiet. He orders everyone to go home and tells them that the problem will be sorted out the next day. 
 
During the third meeting in the following day, Louie is shocked to see how roughed up Rick looks, as he was attacked during the night by Morton Rose and Vincent. Rick begins giving an inspirational speech about that he was naïve for simply trying to continue with their regular controls and that the Whisperers are a serious threat that need to be exterminated. After it is over, Louie is seen cheering with the rest of the crowd.

Louie would travel to the Alexandria Safe-Zone to become a member for the Militia in order to avenge his friend’s death. He’s seen with other soldiers shooting at the Walkers as training practice to eventually fight the Whisperers.
