Louis (The Walking Dead)

Louis, also called Lou, is the determinant tritagonist of Telltale Games' The Walking Dead: The Final Season. He is a hunter and supply runner for Ericson's Boarding School, Marlon's best friend and a possible love interest for Clementine. Introduced as a lighthearted survivor who tends to shirk responsibilities to pursue leisurely activities, Louis nonetheless reveals he can and will stand up for his friends in their time of need. 
He was voiced by Sterling Sulieman. 
==Biography==
===Before The Final Season===
Before the epidemic, Louis lived with his family and he had a pet turtle, Geoff. Following an argument between Louis and his father, he provoked a divorce between his parents to take revenge on his father. Louis then mocked his father with his words, revealing what he did, and he was sent to boarding school in Ericson.
===The Final Season===
Louis lived at the boarding school and was there during the epidemic. Clementine first meets Louis when he plays the piano and took care of Alvin Jr.. Louis takes an immediate interest in Clementine and asks her about her romantic relationships during the evening card game. He also asks if she had to kill someone she loved, which hurts Clem who stops playing. The next day, Clem has a choice between hunting with Louis and Aasim or fishing with Violet and Brody. If she goes hunting, she can play with Louis by hitting a Walker like a pinata. Afterwards, Louis leaves with Clem, Louis and AJ at the train station to pick up supplies.
During the night, Louis witnesses the confrontation between Marlon and Clementine after Marlon kills Brody and accuses Clem. The latter can call on Louis to defend her and although hesitant, Louis ends up positioning himself in front of Clem to prevent Marlon from shooting. As Marlon surrenders, AJ kills the teen by shooting him in the head, shocking the others. Devastated by this, Louis yells at AJ and calls him a murderer, which leaves AJ confused and hurt. The next day, the kids are having a funeral for Marlon and Brody and Louis is still mad at AJ and Clem, but less hostile than the night before. Afterwards, Clem and AJ are exiled and are escorted into the woods by Louis and Violet. Later, the two return to help them when they encounter Lilly and Abel and Louis can get shot in the arm. The next day, Clementine returns to boarding school with AJ injured and Louis opens the gate and takes AJ inside. After AJ is treated, Louis apologizes about him being shot and is visibly torn about what happened. Two weeks later, the group is preparing to fight the looters and Louis is doing some archery. If Clem joins him, Louis reveals that he is both shocked by Marlon's death and by what the latter did to Brody and Tenn's sisters.
During the evening, Clem can leave with Louis who will play the piano. The two can potentially confess their love for each other or else remain friends. Then, Lilly and the raiders arrive at the boarding school and a battle breaks out. As the raiders retreat, Louis is grabbed by one and can be saved if it is not Violet that Clem chooses instead.
If Louis is saved, he stays at the boarding school with the last children and goes to the rescue of his friends. If Louis is captured, his tongue will be cut out by the raiders as he talked too much. In any case, Louis and the rest of the group manage to escape from the ship and get into a cart that goes back to the boarding school. However, Louis (if he is saved in the second episode) stays behind and finds Clem, AJ and Tenn outside the cave. He and Clem then discuss building a house before they have to cross a covered bridge. Before they can do anything, they are confronted by Minerva, Tenn's sister who lures a horde of Rangers to the bridge. As Clem and AJ manage to jump to the other side, Louis tries to blast Tenn who wants to help Minerva. If Clem doesn't trust AJ, Louis will throw Tenn across the bridge and be devoured by the Walkers. On the other hand, if Clem trusts AJ, he will shoot Tenn, so Louis jumps and survives. He will be shocked by Tenn's death and berates AJ for it. However, he also understands that he did it to save his life.
At the end of the game, we see Louis (if alive) with the other children, and they are all happy.
==Heroic Acts==
Note: some of them can be avoided.
===Done Running===
*Looks after AJ when Marlon brings him in the school.
*Distracts walkers to allow Clem and the others to gather supplies.
*If Clem appeals to Louis, he will take her side and refuse to let Marlon shoot. If she appeals to Vi instead, he will be one of the people who join them to defend Clementine from being executed.
*Offers his help to Marlon about the raider situation (determinant).
===Suffer The Children===
*Berates AJ for murdering Marlon when he didn't have to. 
*If AJ gave him his gun later on, Louis will eventually give it back to him, stating he can't leave him out there unarmed.
*Intervenes with Vi to save Clem and AJ from Lilly and Abel. This can possibly get him injured.
*Brings an injured AJ in the school. He can possibly do this despite getting shot in the shoulder earlier.
*Apologizes to Clementine after his initial reaction to Marlon's death. If she doesn't reject his apology, he gives her Marlon's bow.

*Helps stop Lilly's attack against the school. If Clem chose to spend time with Violet, Louis tackles Lilly to save her life.
===Broken Toys===
*If Clem chose to save Violet over him, Louis does not hold any grudge against her despite getting his tongue cut out as an indirect result of this choice. If Clem chose to save Louis instead, he believes she should have saved Violet instead.
*Sneaks onto Lilly's boat with Clementine and AJ to rescue his friends.
*Calls out Minerva for betraying him and murdering her own sister Sophie.
*When he accidentally kills Dorian, it's revealed he has never killed anyone before, and he's genuinely distraught by this.

*While he doesn't like killing Dorian, he says that he's glad to have it in him to defend his home from people like her.
*Frees Clementine from a walker's grasp during the fight against Minerva.
*Attempts to save Tenn's life from a herd when he tries to join his dead sister Minerva. If he succeeds, he'll do so at the cost of his own life.
