**Early Life**

Louis grew up in Chicago, Illinois with his father, Alan Walker, his mother Arachne who went by Marianne Walker, and his brother and sister, Ben and Kaya. Louis's father was bitten by a spider and stranded, allergic, and killed when Louis was eleven. Arachne remarried Ethan Jefferson, an abusive alcoholic who would beat and rape Louis's brother, but never hurt him. Kaya was killed in a car crash orchestrated by Arachne when Louis was around twelve, his sister thirteen. Arachne was pregnant by Ethan, who ran off and left her alone. She miscarried and became an alcoholic and a drug addict, leaving Ben and Louis, who was eleven, to go into foster care. At fifteen, they went back to his mother and Louis got emancipated as soon as possible. Ben came out a few months before his high school graduation, officially, and Louis stopped talking to him. Louis ran a light, killed someone by accident, and was sent to prison where he was beaten to death at only 21.

**Demigod Quest**

Demigod Quest #1, Immortal Secrets: Louis is mentioned to have been emancipated at sixteen and killed in prison at 21 after being arrested for involuntary manslaughter. He is later mentioned to have been running around playing tag with Ben when he was seven and Ben was four, along with Kaya, who was eight. He is mentioned by their father's ghost to Ben, who says Louis and Kaya miss Ben.

Demigod Quest #3, The Fountain of Souls: Louis is briefly mentioned along with Kaya as having been named as children of Arachne in Circe's book.

Demigod Quest #4, The Tangled Web: Louis is mentioned to have argued with Arachne while he was working on getting emancipated because she had starved Ben into passing out at school and going to the hospital. At another point, he was briefly mentioned to have been at a sleepover when Ben was left home with Ethan. Later, Ben sees a tapestry Arachne made that depicts Louis's death after being beaten to death in prison, set up by her. It is mentioned he bought Ben a new denim jacket for his eighteenth birthday, the last thing he ever gave him. Arachne mentions that Louis or Kaya could have handled the demigod life and that was why she killed them, because she knew Ben would fail when it came time to face her. Later, Ben is showing Jackson pictures of his family and there is a picture of Ben's sixth birthday where Louis, nine at the time, was carrying a cake over. Later, there was another picture of Ben and Louis playing a board game.
