General Description: Louis stands at 5'11 with a medium frame, bullet scar on right leg and right upper arm. Various cuts and scars littered about the body. When a werewolf, he's very hairy and werewolfy.
Tattoos/Distinguishing Marks: Supernaturals who encounter him that can see souls will notice an absence of a soul, or sometimes describe it as a 'blackness.' It is plain to see that something is extremely wrong with him. On top of that, it appears a witch has placed a curse upon him: 'blackest nightmare curse'. It is a curse which will constantly bring memories of pain and suffering one has caused to another to the forefront of one's mind, preventing happiness. Louis is unaware of this curse and believes it is all PTSD.

Intelligence Level: Louis is sharp, to the degree that he has felt he lives in his own lonely world as a result. Despite the air he carries of chaos and psychosis- Louis is calculated in every action, like a game of chess. Living deeply bores him.

Current Occupation and Salary: Louis makes the cash he needs through selling drugs, banned black magic items, weapons, bombs, and information. He is the king of underground shady business and makes a good living off stealing and fraud. He doesn't have an 'income' other than exactly the amount of money he needs to accomplish whatever it is he needs to accomplish. He is even rumored to deal in slavery- though nobody can prove it.
Socioeconomic Level (now): Louis is well established in the city, surviving the massacre and slowly rebuilding what was lost. He is a well known member of The Pack of Bastards; somehow he obtained the rank of First Council giving him a good amount of sway in the werewolf community of Dusk and within the city in general. Louis is known in some communities as an asset- he can obtain whatever dangerous or illegal service that you need. Outside of this he is considered 'crazy', 'violent', 'volatile'. To those unaware of his reputation, he is capable of being charming and blending in when need be.

Pet Peeves:
Major Hangups: Louis is a known homophobe, despite himself engaging in homosexual activities on a regular basis. He is also known to be transphobic- but in truth, he doesn't really care and mostly uses old fashioned and offensive terms without desiring to learn the new ones. He is both sadistic and masochistic in different contexts
Fears / Phobias: He most fears being dependent upon other people/ losing his sense of freedom and autonomy.
Dislikes: Authority figures, people who trust authority, veiled corruption, hypocrisy, modern technology, social media, consumerism, patriotism, blind loyalty
Beliefs & Religion
Religion: Louis is not and has never been religious. He detests tradition and belief systems steeped in it and looks down upon those who do practice religion
Morality / Ethics: Chaotic evil alignment
Stand Up Citizen or Lawbreaker?: Louis doesn't pay attention to societal rules or standards. If he is obeying a law, it's likely incidental.
Awareness of Supernaturals: Years prior to being turned Werewolf, Louis was exposed to supernatural culture and information. CIA archives have surprisingly detailed records on such information, and he has done his own readings and research.
Personality
Strongest Positive Trait: Adaptable
Strongest Negative Trait: Shameless
Character Strengths: Social chameleon, capable of being whatever he needs to be at the moment. Can change accent and appearance to 'become' another person when necessary. Can be charming, can be appealing, but cannot sustain it in the long run.
Character Flaws: Lacks integrity, genuineness. Addicted to adrenaline highs and action. Unable to empathize with others or bond in any significant way. Believes himself to be inherently different and flawed in comparison to other people- that something is 'wrong' with him, though he can't explain what it is.
Philosophy of Life: Nihilistic at best, Louis holds the experience of being alive with little regard. He is alive out of habit, innately lacking the constitution it would take to opt out- but he has been accused of acting in reckless, suicidal ways many times.
Quirks: Collects information that may/may not be useful; for example, he has notebooks full of license plates that he's noticed around town several times and is prone to thinking people might be following him or monitoring his actions. Prone to paranoid, suspicious rituals like checking a room when he enters. Doesn't like to have his back to a door or a window. Will always be looking for multiple escapes in any given area he is in. Is obsessively organized and clean in his own living environments, almost sterile. Likes to move objects around if he is left alone in a room to see if other people will notice. He has a fixation with horses that developed after a head injury.
Sense of Humor: Irony, poetic justice. Finds stoking the bear to be an endless source of entertainment and laughter.
Temper: He can go from even tempered to boiling rage fairly quickly. He is not consistent in his reactions and it is hard to predict what might set him off. Truly, he may fly off the handle out of sheer boredom rather than an actual reason. He is prone to physical violence and psychological warfare. Triggers that will always upset him include: any mention of his daughter(s), implication that there are sons of his that are still alive that he doesn't know about, and any harm towards horses or negative things said about horses.
Relationships & History
Current...
Relationship Status: Louis typically has several ongoing romances at any given time, particularly with married women. In the past he has even carried out fake weddings and is likely married to multiple people. He also is prone to casual sexual affairs with men that are focused on BDSM and power and control. He doesn't consider himself a cheater because he has never promised to be faithful to any of his lovers.
Family: Louis has 3 daughters that he knows of, all of which he was not involved with growing up. He has met them all under false pretenses- they do not know he is their real father. Louis had 2 sons that he knew of, both of which he hunted down and murdered.
Friends: Anybody who can put up with him. He'll screw you over even if you are his friend- there is no such thing as loyalty in his eyes. Occasionally he will find favorite people, but he would never admit this bias.
Enemies: He made many during his CIA torturing days. Ghosts haunt him, literally. Too many here to count.
Notable Connections: Part of The Pack of Bastards and has affiliation with pack members- though he wouldn't call them 'friends'.
Relationship with Men: Louis cannot establish long term comrade with fellow men. The types of relationships he has been able to keep are always sexual in nature and involve heavy power dynamics. Louis must dominate, and wants to dominate a man who gives up a good fight. He can blend in for the short term, though.
Relationship with Women: Most of Louis' relationships are with women, as he is able to share more complex emotions with them. With women he would like to be dominated and submit to a feminine energy that drowns his own. He has been known to stalk women casually. Louis also enjoys having affairs with married women, leaking the truth, and goading cuckolded men into beating him.
Relationship Skills: Louis is a good liar, he can be smooth when he wants to be. He is also unpredictable with his behavior and deeply traumatized, so the amount of time he can maintain his charm is limited. The longer you know Louis the more likely it is that you'll realize he is coming unglued at the seams.
Hometown: Boston, MA
Family Background: He had a traditional upbringing stay at home mother, stable, hardworking father. He had a sister, Laura, who was eight years older than him. He was raised loosely Catholic. There was no abuse growing up besides perhaps slight emotional detachment of the entire family for reasons unknown. His parents were polite instead of loving, proper instead of affectionate, but this was the way for many parents during the times.
History:
From the day that Louis was born, he was different. He didn't react the same as the other boys and girls did, especially when it came to pain and suffering. Louis found it funny, and it took him time to realize that his reactions weren't particularly normal and would eventually cause him trouble if he didn't learn to cover it up. As a boy he learned to mimic the emotions of others in various situations, he became an actor in his own life. He understood that if anyone were to ever know who he truly was, what he truly felt, he'd likely wind up in prison. This was something he decided he'd like to avoid at all costs...but he also liked to flirt with the risk.
He grew up in Boston, which made joining a gang as a teen that much easier. His older sister of 8 years, Laura, was like a mother to him and was constantly bailing him out of trouble. Lying to the police on his behalf. Giving him money when he was in a pinch. Louis went from stealing and scrapping cars to leaving home at eighteen and traveling. It was easier not to get caught that way, and his favorite way of money became cheating people in pool and various card games at bars. Eventually, though, he bored of these small time antics and got into higher level crime- drugs, weapons, and it was in the middle of a cocaine heist that he stumbled upon what modernly would be known as a 'cicada test.' It was the late 80's, era of early internet, and in his spare time Louis had resorted to early day hacking. The CIA had planted a 'puzzle' within government coding which would lead anybody clever enough to crack it through the recruitment process. Louis was one of the early successes, and when offered to do bad things for the government and get away with it, what choice did he have but to say yes?
The first ten or so years of his career were boring, undergoing tiny undercover operations attempting to locate terrorists and drug traffickers to entrap them in legal crimes that they might otherwise not have committed, sometimes in the process creating the criminals. It was exciting enough that he stayed put- and it was a good thing he did. 9/11 changed everything.
After the September 11th attacks, Louis was sent overseas to Iraq to participate in the famed 'enhanced interrogation techniques.' These years were intense enough that he developed PTSD, having murdered and tortured so many people that it seemed to have left a permanent mark on him. It was during his times overseas that he became interested in the occult and black magic, and eventually enthralled enough that he summoned a demon. This was where the troubles for Louis began.
Around 2009, Louis encountered a werewolf, was attacked and transformed into one. This was definitely not cool for his career in the CIA because he eventually transformed and killed a lot of people. He ended up escaping and at that point the CIA lost track of him, and created a new life. For a while he was hanging out in the middle east, but eventually decided to return to the United States.
Recent History: For the past 10 years or so Louis has been on his own and back in the states, evading capture and generally creating chaos, death and pain in his presence.
