[edit] Official description
Louis had been working up the courage to quit his job as Junior Systems Analyst at his company's IT department when a virus showed up and downsized the world. Now Louis has a new set of goals (live long enough to succeed) and a new set of tools (guns, sharp objects) to help him achieve them. With any luck, he'll figure out how the new management operates before they get a chance to murder him.[1]

[edit] Trivia
- Louis's attire resembles Shaun from Shaun of the Dead, who wore a red tie and white shirt. His character also somewhat resembles Ben from the remake of George A Romero's Night of the Living Dead who suprisingly enough, wears more or less the same clothing as Louis apart from the Red tie.
- Along with Francis Louis is very friendly towards Zoey,and when she dies, he says: Zoey! MY PLANS! MY PLANS!. However, some of her quotes would indicate that she favours Francis, by far.
- One of Louis's lines mentions Counter-Strike : a highly successful franchise also developed by Valve
- His quote involving, "I ain't got time to bleed," is a reference to the same quotation by Jesse Ventura in Predator, and also refers to Duke Nukem 64/3D.
- Louis's comments involving pills have become something of an internet meme, usually portraying him as being obsessed with or even addicted to them.
- It should be noted that a lot of zombies also wear white shirts, and Louis tends to get shot because of this, prompting to ask "Do I look like one of them?!"
