His mortal life

Louis de Pointe du Lac was born the quaternary of October of 1766 to a Roman Cosmic family unit that emigrated to America when he was very young.

As a mortal, Louis was a handsome immature man who ran indigo plantations very near New Orleans in 1791. His male parent was expressionless, and he cared for his younger blood brother, sister and mother. He was defended to all of his family unit, especially his blood brother Paul, who was deeply religious. Louis'south life was expert; his blood brother spent almost of his time praying in the oratory Louis had built for him, and the plantations were running well.

His brother Paul started seeing visions of the Virgin Mary and St. Dominic, telling him to sell the indigo plantations and motion to French republic to piece of work equally a missionary. Still, Louis didn't believe him and dismissed the thought. Louis allowed his brother to worship and had encouraged him just refused to believe that he had existent visions sent by God.

1 day his brother and he discussed considering of Paul'due south 'mission'. Afterwards the discussion, Paul left Louis and vicious off the entrance's stairs. The slaves who saw him autumn "said that he had looked up equally if he had just seen something in the air. And so his entire torso moved frontward as if beingness swept by a air current", 1 of them said that he looked as if he was about to say something earlier he fell.

Louis' mother and sister started believing that his brother had fallen considering of the argument, and then other people started to believe the aforementioned since Louis refused to talk about Paul's visions to anyone, not fifty-fifty the police. Louis started to blame himself too and could not forgive himself or become over his brother's death: " ...they all stared at me as if I'd killed him. And I felt that I'd killed him." To escape from the constant reminder of his brother he moved to New Orleans, leaving the plantations in the hands of an overseer, but he was all the same haunted by Paul's expiry; "I could recall of zero, simply his body rotting in the ground."

Louis became a drunkard to try to escape reality. He put himself in abiding danger by going to taverns, getting into fights and walking dangerous alleys alone, he wanted to die. One night he was attacked past Lestat de Lioncourt outside his house. Lestat (who Louis described as looking like a very beautiful blond haired angel) sucked Louis's blood, almost draining him. He was found hours subsequently and taken inside. Louis presumed that he'd had a stroke because of the alcohol and refused to eat, drink or talk to the doctor. Louis' mother called for a priest and Louis confessed for the first fourth dimension his brother'south visions and what he had done.

'I know I didn't kill him,' I said to the priest finally. 'It's that I cannot live now that he's expressionless. Not later the way I treated him.' -Louis. Interview with the Vampire (1976), page 25.

The priest later informed Louis that what his blood brother had seen were visions sent from the devil, and that Paul had been possessed. Louis felt incredibly infuriated past this and attacked the priest, nearly killing him.

That night Lestat returned for Louis, he wanted Pointe du Lac, Louis'due south plantation. Lestat talked Louis through what he might become as a vampire, what he would become. Lestat wanted Louis equally an eternal companion and as an eternal lover, having a powerful dear for his beauty, his tenderness and his tragic heart. That morning Louis saw his last sunrise.

The procedure of Louis' transformation went trough various steps. Showtime, he was to watch the overseer of his plantation dice by Lestat's hand and approve. Even though Louis didn't hold his life in high regard, he cared dearly for other people's lives and was securely sickened by the overseer's expiry.

Life equally a vampire

Lestat came to live at Louis's plantation with his father. Louis had trouble with coming to terms with taking homo lives, and this seemed to follow him for nigh of his life. Louis took a hand in helping the eldest sister of a man Lestat killed, and encouraged her to keep her plantation running. Lestat'southward male parent was dying soon and Lestat convinced Louis to impale him. Louis did so in the near humane style, but simply afterwards he forced Lestat to speak to his dying father. The servants had been condign very suspicious of Lestat and Louis. In the cease, Lestat and Louis were forced to leave the plantation. They institute shelter at the dwelling of the adult female who Louis helped before and she took them in and when she saw them the adjacent nighttime, she was convinced they were from the devil. This distressed Louis very much and he tried to convince her otherwise, but she ignored him and in the end, he had to leave with Lestat.

They went to New Orleans where Lestat resumed his merciless killing and Louis tried to avoid killing humans until one nighttime when he attacked a piddling daughter and left her for dead. Lestat told him that she wasn't dead yet and Lestat soon made the child into a vampire whom Lestat named Claudia. Claudia was there to keep the peace between Lestat and Louis for a long time and she learned from them both. That was until 1 mean solar day when she decided she wanted to exit Lestat and look for other vampires like Louis and herself. Louis agreed that he would like to get out but accounted information technology impossible as Lestat would never let them go freely.

The night came when Claudia decided to kill Lestat. After Claudia was convinced Lestat was dead, she forced Louis to help her dispose of the body. They started arranging their departure for Europe. One night, nonetheless, Louis saw Lestat's musician friend exterior the window. Louis also noticed he was at present a vampire and it was long until Lestat himself appeared. In fright for his own life and Claudia'due south, Louis managed to set the business firm on fire and escaped with Claudia to the ship to leave for Europe.

Louis and Claudia travelled wherever there were rumours of vampiric behaviour, merely they but constitute mindless vampires who seem to accept no purpose or reason for living. Despite this, they continue their search and eventually they go to Paris. There Louis encounters the first "existent" vampire of his kind, Santiago and shortly afterwards, Armand. He is invited (with Claudia) to the Theatre des Vampires.

Louis and Claudia at Théâtre des Vampires.

Claudia and Louis visited the Théâtre des Vampires where they were introduced properly to Armand who was the oldest (and just) vampire they met. Louis learned what he could from Armand and (under his influence) made a dollmaker human being, Madeleine into a vampire every bit a female parent for Claudia and then he can leave her for Armand. Louis, Claudia and Madeleine were taken by the other vampires of the theater where they found Lestat who told them information technology was Claudia who tried to kill him. They and so kill Claudia and Madeleine past leaving them in the dominicus while locking Louis away. When Louis found out what was done to Claudia, he became enraged and then after he warned Armand, they burned the theater down with every vampire in it.

Louis left Paris with Armand, simply Armand after a while left him in New Orleans after realising Louis isn't going to change. Louis also sees Lestat in New Orleans, simply refuses to stay with him and only says that he forgives him.

In 1975, Louis tells a reporter, Daniel Molloy, all of this story and then after learning that Daniel didn't learn anything from his story gets aroused and leaves the reporter stunned and bleeding a niggling bit.

The next time Louis is seen, he has gone to encounter Lestat, soon earlier Lestat's 1984 concert. They spend a short time together before the concert where they basically forgive each other and say they even so care almost each other. Louis pleads with Lestat not to become on phase, but when he sees this is futile, he agrees to get with Lestat to the concert. Afterward the concert, Louis and Lestat are rescued past Lestat'southward mother, Gabrielle, who arrives in a auto to save them from the mob and the vampires who are chasing after Lestat.

The machine ended up crashing and bursting into flames with Louis within, only he managed to escape the car and was promptly put out by Lestat and Gabrielle while the vampires who chased them spontaneously combusted. Both say they felt that information technology was something archaic and wild killing all the other vampires. Soon Louis and Gabrielle seek shelter from the lord's day and when they rise find Lestat gone and become to join all the other vampires who are gathering to hear Maharet's story of Akasha and how all vampires came into existence. Later the story is done Akasha arrives and Louis watches every bit beginning they all try to reason with her until finally, Akasha refuses to listen to them all so Maharet and Mekare impale her.

Afterward Akasha was killed, Louis hears a story from Jesse of how she saw Claudia's ghost in the sometime flat Lestat, Louis and Claudia used to share. Louis and then goes back to the onetime flat and shortly after Lestat arrives and takes him to the Talamasca where he meets David Talbot for the commencement time.

Lestat visited Louis at his home, telling Louis that he had been approached by a man who said it was possible for Lestat to switch bodies with him. Louis warned Lestat against switching bodies with this man because it could be very unsafe for someone to accept control over Lestat's body and if anything were to get wrong Lestat would exist helpless. Lestat left Louis and ignored this advice.

Shortly later Lestat returned (now in a mortal man's trunk) and begged Louis to change him into a vampire and so he could recover his own stolen body. Louis refused to do this on the grounds that Lestat had been given another run a risk at mortal life, something which Louis seemed to envy slightly.

Louis was visited past David Talbot after Lestat's torso was restored. David was now a vampire and was in the same body Lestat was. David told Louis the story of what happened to Lestat until Lestat himself arrived and the iii of them quite happily concur to travel together. They eventually separate and Louis was seen briefly with Armand in Paris. It was over a twelvemonth since their separation until Louis was reunited with Lestat.

This consequence took place after Lestat's ordeal with the devil and Louis went to see him. Louis asked Lestat to render dorsum to their home with him in the Rue Royale. They are soon joined by Maharet and David. Maharet asked Louis and David to assistance chain Lestat upwards, as he is condign quite hysterical. Louis reluctantly does and so and afterwards pleaded with Maharet to let him go. Louis visited Lestat in his holding place to let him know he recovered the books Lestat had left behind in the chapel.

Afterwards Lestat went into a deep sleep on a chapel flooring whilst Armand had attempted suicide. Information technology is assumed Louis grieved for Armand whilst he waited in the chapel with all the other vampires. Louis was greatly relieved when Armand entered the chapel and was extremely pleased he survived. Armand told Louis that he would try to drink Lestat's blood which Louis warns him against doing as he sees it as besides dangerous for Armand. When Armand is thrown abroad from Lestat later on drinking from him, Louis, every bit well equally most of the older vampires, get to see if Armand is okay.

Lestat awoke and all the vampires go out except for Louis and David. David and Louis continue to live in New Orleans in the flat together while Lestat remained in a sleep, for the most office, only visiting once in a while to sleep in his ain bedroom. Louis encountered a witch in the streets of New Orleans who he mistook to exist someone "looking for death" and whom he afterward institute out to be a member of the Talamasca that David once knew. The witch'southward name was Merrick Mayfair and Louis asked David if she could bring back the ghost of Claudia. David does this and returns to Louis to explicate to him the story of Merrick and who she is and what she is capable of.

Louis decided to go ahead with the spell and upon meeting Merrick he fell in love with her instantly. Louis handed over a flick of Claudia he had kept all these years equally well as Claudia's diary which the Talamasca found in the old apartment Louis shared with Lestat and Claudia. Merrick starts the spell warning Louis of the dangers and the fact that the spirit that they contact may not even be Claudia but something else. Merrick calls upon the spirit of Claudia who presently becomes visible to Louis and David. The ghost of what might or might not have been Claudia fabricated fun of Louis and said that she never really cared about him, just of the two he was easier to manipulate than Lestat. The ghost as well tried to attack them, but Merrick got rid of it.

Louis was convinced that the ghost was Claudia and before long after insisted on being lonely with Merrick, much to the annoyance of David. Louis made Merrick into a vampire despite promising David that he wouldn't. He then tried to kill himself by letting the sun fire him. Merrick got to David who was shocked by what had happened and and so Lestat joined them. Lestat asked them to help in bringing Louis back which they did. Lestat, David and Merrick all used their own blood to wake Louis who was very severely burned. Louis awakened and David and Merrick left him with Lestat. Louis drank Lestat's blood once more to make him stronger. An aroused letter of the alphabet was received from the Talamasca enervating that Merrick and David be returned to them. This angry letter enrages Lestat and he states that they should wage a state of war with the Talamasca, but Louis and David sway him into not doing information technology. They all agree that this wasn't going to happen and Louis and the others began making arrangements to get out New Orleans.

When Lestat becomes the prince of all the vampires, Louis is mentioned sitting on a couch with Lestat.
