Biography
Main story
Louis was born as aFirenese commoner in a town known for its grapes, and the eldest of four brothers. When he was still young, his mother died prematurely, devastating Louis and leaving his family without a parental figure in their household, as his father worked to provide for the family. Because of this, Louis was tasked with taking care of his younger brothers, raising them by himself.[4] By necessity, he developed a sizable amount of domestic skills—notably including tea brewing, often providing his family with black tea steeped in grape juice.[5][6] He grew up without a notable female presence in his life, whether family or friend.[7]
As he grew older, he began to look for ways to provide for his brothers; first selling grape drinks and candies,[8] before ultimately setting his sights on knighthood.[1] During the knighthood exam, he treated everyone to tea, which highlighted his domestic skills.[9] He passed the exam and, due to his exemplary talents being recognized byCéline, became her retainer alongsideChloé, which was a notable achievement as he was not of Firenese nobility.[10]
When theElusian army attackedFirene Castle, he and Chloé accompanied Céline toFlorra Port, ordered by Queen Ève to warn Prince Alfred of the attack, but were ambushed in town by an army ofCorrupted led by GeneralRodine. Both retainers chose to stay behind to cover their lady’s escape, who—after encounteringAlear and their army—returned and helped them defeat the Elusian army. Louis joined the Divine Dragon’s army afterward, fighting in the war againstSombron. After the war concluded, he retired as a knight and instead continued serving the royal family as their butler.
Fell Xenologue
Like his main counterpart, the Louis from another world served as Princess Céline's retainer, retaining his tea-serving habit.[11] During the second war against Sombron, Louis fought alongside the Divine Dragon's army but, despite believing in their success, died during the final day of the war.[12]

Analysis
| This character analysis section may not be accurate to every player's experience. |
Louis is the firstLance Armor unit that joins the player's army and he joins inChapter 4. As an armor unit Louis joins with high base stats in HP, strength, defense and dexterity, but low bases in magic, speed, luck and resistance. Along with that Louis boasts a low personal build of 1, with his starting class boosting his build stat to the point he isn't weighed down by hisIron Lance, however due to his low speed Louis can manage being weighed down by heavier weapons as he will likely be getting doubled by enemies regardless of his weaponry. Louis's growths are mainly focused on HP, defense and strength, with low personal growths in other areas. Louis joins with a proficiency in lances, along with a B rank in said weapon type giving him access to a large number of powerful lances, such as theSilver Lance for 0 investment.
Due to starting in the armor class Louis gets the privilege of not getting afflicted by theBreak status effect when a foe initiates combat and damages him while he's suffering fromweapon triangle disadvantage. Louis can still be afflicted by the Break status effect fromSmash weapons and theFracture staff. This ability combined with Louis's unrivaled physical bulk in his joining chapter makes Louis one of the most valuable playable units in the earlygame. As aside fromVander playable units take high damage, Louis is able to take multiple physical foes on enemy phase and either kill them or cripple them to the point other units can finish them off. Along with this, unlike in most games in the series, the armor knight classline doesn't suffer from lower movement as most starting classes only start with 4 move, meaning that Louis won't be left behind by his fellow teammates. Finally, Louis's personal skill,Admiration, reduces the damage he takes if two female allies are adjacent within 2 spaces, further bolstering his durability.
Louis also has just enough speed to avoid getting doubled by certain earlygame enemies.Nelucce in particular is a powerful boss who won't be able to double attack Louis even on the Maddening difficulty mode. However, while his utility on Maddening is incredibly useful, Maddening mode simultaneously changes the AI of enemies so that they won't attack enemies they cannot damage, meaning that Louis will oftentimes get ignored by enemies. Along with that Louis is incredibly vulnerable too magic, often being one rounded by mages due to his poor resistance. As such, Louis requires careful positioning to use properly.
On the topic ofEmblem Rings, Louis's best option isSigurd, due to Sigurd fixing his mobility issues and giving Louis the ability to inherit the valuable skillsHit + andCanter.Ike is another option as it pairs well with Louis's natural bulk,Laguz Friend boosts his durability even further,Great Aether is an excellent crowd-clearing Engage attack and the skillReposition gives Louis extra utility.
Despite Louis's excellent earlygame, he noticeably falters during the midgame and lategame. This is due to the fact that his best Emblem Ring option, Sigurd, disappears afterChapter 10 and doesn't rejoin untilChapter 17, meaning that Louis will be without a strong ring for 6 chapters. Along with that, the player gets access to strong physical units likePanette as the game progresses in combination with inheriting certain skills, such as Vantage that give them a stronger enemy phase. While Louis's physical durability will still be amazing even in the final chapters, Louis's enemy phase will be vulnerable as enemies will start stackingchain attacks, which are always guaranteed to deal 3 damage wearing Louis down if he's not equipped with thePair Up skill fromCorrin, a skill that's fairly costly and requires a bond level of 13 with Corrin. Finally, in chapter 11, the player gets access toLucina and her Engage skillBonded Shield which nullifies the damage dealt by the first attack made against adjacent allies. This skill adds significantly survivability to even the squishier units if set up properly, giving less room for Louis's physical durability to shine.
In terms of promotion Louis has the options of promoting to theGeneral class for slightly higher bulk, strength and S rank in lances, or theGreat Knight class for additional mobility and higher overall stats. The General class doesn't improve Louis stats much with only a negligible +1 defense and +3 strength stat over Great Knight, in addition to having terrible movement, keeping him at 4 move, which makes Great Knight the superior choice in almost all circumstances.
In terms of reclassing, Louis can function well in the Paladin classline due to the higher movement compared to Great Knight, while also letting Louis keep using lances.Wyvern Knight is another powerful option as it gives Louis flying utility while still maintaining his physical durability.
Overall, Louis is an incredibly potent unit in the harsh earlygame ofEngage, however, as the game progresses and the enemies get stronger, while the player gets additional units and resources, Louis has trouble keeping up with the rest of the player's army. If Louis does get additional resources, he can still be a useful lategame unit, but he requires more resources compared to his competition.

Louis/Heroes
There is one variation of Louis available inHeroes.
Personality
Louis is a courteous and polite person, happy to offer his services should others need them.[13] He has a cheerful demeanor[14] which he maintains whether praised[15] or critiqued,[16] and is easily amused by simple joys in life.[17] He enjoys sharing in happy company,[18] pleased to see the smiles of others[19][20] and quick to throw out a compliment,[21] though he is humble when receiving them himself. He also feels a strong impulse to care for his allies, which he believes originally came from him raising his three younger brothers.[4] However, by taking on the role of servant, Louis finds it difficult to see himself as just as important as others,[22][23] believing that he must merely facilitate the happiness of others instead of partaking in it with them.[24] He puts the needs of others before his own, even if fulfilling those needs may end up hurting him.[25] Due to his upbringing, he is not particularly religious[26] and is amazed by the strong women in Elyos,[27] having lacked a strong female presence in his life after the departure of his mother.[7]
He is an avid enjoyer of people-watching, studying the behavior of those he observes[28] and enraptured by bearing witness to many unique dynamics unfolding before his eyes,[29][30] to the point where he will set up meetings between people just to observe how their conversations unfold.[31][32] He likens the act of conversation between others to art,[33] with his people-watching being like spectating a theatrical performance.[34] Though he does not wish to disturb the performance by being noticed, preferring to remain unnoticed by those he observes,[35] he does often voice his thoughts about what he perceives as it occurs.[36][37] However, though he does not see the problem with observing people without their permission, he will stop when requested, not putting his own hobbies above the comfort of others.[38] He partakes in this hobby in order to understand other people, which he believes is crucial to connect to other people—especially during times of war[39]—and causing him to become quite attentive to the interests and preferences of others.[40]
Louis is a tea connoisseur,[9] able to accurately distinguish the quality of tea leaves,[41] having often brewed it himself during his youth. Due to his fondness of the activity, as well as the soothing aspects of tea,[42] he gravitates towards sharing it with others as a means of spending time with them.[18] While he happily listens to others talk and often finds himself in that position, he is quite talkative himself and is happy when others lend him an ear as well.[43] He is quite blunt when expressing himself, sharing his unfiltered thoughts with others without thinking about how they might be received, though he tries to keep the interests of others in mind.[16][44] Due to his positive demeanor and turbulent upbringing, he is not easily shaken;[45] in fact, the only times where he shows signs of distress are his utter disbelief at the cruelty at Florra Port,[46] as well as his notable nervousness when expressing his romantic interests in someone.[47][48] He also carries a significant distaste against sea grapes,[49] being the one thing he cannot tolerate despite attempting to appreciate anything his friends enjoy to the best of his abilities.[50]

I've been unable to drink it since you died." —Céline and Louis,Fell Xenologue 2,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Our retainers, so sure they'd come out on top, all falling like petals... That was the same day our strongest ally, the Divine Dragon, left us forever." —Alfred toCéline,Fell Xenologue 2,Fire Emblem Engage
- ↑"Louis: I find that hard partying does give one an appetite. Do you like grapes, Pandreo?
Pandreo: Sure, I like them all right.
Louis: In that case, I'll fetch some pastries. The filling was made with grapes from my hometown.
Pandreo: Ooh, so it's a local delicacy, huh? Sure, give me all you've got!
Louis: All I've got?! If you like, but I feel I ought to caution you against overindulging." — Louis andPandreo,B Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Ivy: You always seem so cheerful. Is there some particular reason for it?
Louis: No, this is simply my default expression.
Ivy: How curious. It may be due to my own reservedness that your demeanor leaves such an impression on me." —Ivy and Louis,C Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Céline: It's heavenly, as the blends you prepare always are. The chance to sip the tea you brew is one of the small joys that gets me through each day.
Louis: Haha, you're too kind, Princess Céline." —Céline and Louis,C Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑16.016.1"Louis: Everyone adores you, Chloé. You're perpetually surrounded by friends. The closeness you show with those friends...there's nothing quite like it. The sight of it fills me with such joy that I would hold it in my mind forever if I could. The drawback, it seems, is that scenes without you in them lose their luster.
Chloé: I can tell you mean that as a compliment, so...thanks, Louis. But I'd be careful who I said that to. I know where you're coming from with that hobby of yours, but other people... It takes a lot of explanation before people will understand. Not all of them have the patience.
Louis: Haha, I'll bear that in mind." — Louis andChloé,B Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Louis: Do you know what I noticed, Roy? Both our names are vowels bookended by consonants.
Roy: Huh. So they are. Well, that aside, shall we get back to saving the world?" — Louis andRoy,C Bond,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑18.018.1"Louis: Would you care to join me for tea? I greatly prefer to have company with my tea than to drink alone.
Yunaka: Oh, that sounds like fun! Sure, I'd love to. [...] Thank you, Louis!
Louis: Hah, think nothing of it. I prefer to take my tea with smiles whenever I can." — Louis andYunaka,C Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Louis: Aha!
Ivy: What? What is it?
Louis: I thought I detected the faintest hint of a smile just now.
Ivy: Did you?
Louis: Can I take it, then, that you like black tea?
Ivy: Yes. But if I happened to seem pleased, that was not the reason. I simply find your dedication to these efforts rather amusing.
Louis: There's nothing so amusing about it. A princess's joy is a radiant thing." — Louis andIvy,B Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Roy: What's got you in such a good mood, Louis?
Louis: In truth, Roy, I observed a group of people in town who were having a grand time. They were laughing, smiling, dancing... It must be wonderful to have that kind of friendship." —Roy and Louis,A Bond,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Louis: Hello there, Yunaka. Have you had a windfall of some sort? Your smile is especially radiant.
Yunaka: Ugh, gross. Cut the sweet talk before I start puking rainbows." — Louis andYunaka,B Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Louis: Please do not let it trouble you. It is a surface wound and nothing more. I would bear a hundred injuries like it for the sake of these precious tea leaves. Now then, that fresh pot is ready for you. Your cup, please?
Céline: I've lost my taste for it. Good day, Louis.
(Céline leaves)
Louis: Have I offended?" — Louis andCéline,B Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Louis: It is peculiar, though... I still haven't the faintest idea of what causes you to beam this way.
Ivy: How dare you? I am not a monster, you know. I am capable of smiling around friends and allies.
Louis: Is that what I am in your eyes? An ally? Even...a friend?" — Louis andIvy,A Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Louis: Such unadulterated joy isn't meant for my like. It should be reserved for others like yourself. My role is merely to facilitate these bright moments and then recede until I am needed.
Ivy: Haha, I...have no idea how to respond to that.
Louis: And now a laugh?! All of this is wasted on me, Princess Ivy." — Louis andIvy,A Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Louis: These tea leaves were not farm-grown, alas. They arise naturally in the wild. The path to their native fields is treacherous, due to the ferocious beasts who nest there.
Céline: One of these beasts attacked you...
Louis: Please do not let it trouble you. It is a surface wound and nothing more. I would bear a hundred injuries like it for the sake of these precious tea leaves." — Louis andCéline,B Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Louis: I don't believe I ever gave my mother a proper send-off amidst all the tumult.
Pandreo: I see.
Louis: My family were never very deeply religious, you see. No offense intended." — Louis andPandreo,A Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Since I grew up surrounded by my brothers, I'm still amazed at all the strong women around me." — Louis toCamilla,A Bond,Fire Emblem Engage
- ↑"Alear: So you watch people chat in order to learn things?
Louis: Precisely. There is deep meaning in these seemingly simple encounters. Through observation, many delightful and subtle details reveal themselves." —Alear and Louis,C Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"You two have a truly unique rapport. The juxtaposition of the hearty Firenese prince and an attentive lad of Lythos struck me. Your warmth and brotherly goodwill—they set my very heart alight! In all my years of people watching, those workouts were in a class of their own." — Louis toClanne,A Support,Fire Emblem Engage
- ↑"Your interactions with the Divine One are a unique sight all their own. A fresh new canvas..." — Louis toMarth,B Bond,Fire Emblem Engage
- ↑"Louis: Is there anything I can do for you, Leif? Perhaps find you a suitable partner for socializing?
Leif: Uh, that is quite all right, Louis. Thank you for offering, though." — Louis andLeif,C Bond,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Who would be the ideal person to wake the Divine Dragon? If I can't think of the person...I'll have to envision one. A gallant knight...strong, courteous, and kind..." — Louis,B Rank Wake Up Event,Fire Emblem Engage
- ↑"Chloé: Louis! Were you watching me again?
Louis: Indeed I was. You and your whole coterie of ladies. The sight of you all together pleased me to no end.
Chloé: The way you talk, it sounds like you were taking in fine art at a gallery.
Louis: To me, there is no greater art. The finest galleries fall far short by comparison. There are so many subtleties and nuances to be seen that I could do so all day.
Chloé: That's really the whole reason you do it?
Louis: It's no different than appreciating a beautiful landscape." —Chloé and Louis,C Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"What I thought was a finale was, in truth, a prelude. And the cast has doubled in size! How many more voices will be recruited into this muscular chorus? Who can truly say? And I shall be there for all of it—a connoisseur of the human condition." — Louis toClanne,A Support,Fire Emblem Engage
- ↑"Celica: You've seemed a little distant lately. Did I do something to offend you?
Louis: Not at all, Celica. I'm as fond of you as ever.
Celica: Then why do you keep your distance? I only know you're present when I talk to others.
Louis: To intrude in that way would be to take a brush in hand and "improve" on fine art. I would never." —Celica and Louis,A Bond,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Louis: Hm. Not a solo or a group session. What could this signify?
Clanne: I don't think it signifies anything.
Louis: Ah, but pay me no mind." — Louis andClanne,C Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Louis: How unusual to see such a darling girl like Tiki turn into a ferocious dragon on the battlefield...
Tiki: Why are you just staring at me? Come on over here and talk to me!" — Louis andTiki,C Bond,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Alear: There's courtesy and decency. If you knew they didn't like being watched, you'd stop, right?
Louis: But of course, Divine One. I would never elevate my appreciation above their own comfort." —Alear and Louis,C Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"It is indeed that simple. I observed you only in order to hit upon a suitable conversation starter. I see it as crucial that we connect. We come from disparate countries with different values. Yet we must put these differences aside and risk our lives daily in combat together. In order to facilitate this, it is vital that we come to understand one another." — Louis toJade,A Support,Fire Emblem Engage
- ↑"Louis: That's the sort of folk food you prefer, yes? Take it in case you feel peckish.
Chloé: Thanks, Louis. It looks great! I'm always eager to try something new. But I don't think I ever mentioned to you my love for folk foods.
Louis: Oh, Chloé. I've spent too much time observing you not to be an expert on the subject by now." — Louis andChloé,A Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Louis: Oh my. One look is enough to tell me that these tea leaves are very fine indeed.
Yunaka: I expected nothing less from the master." — Louis andYunaka,B Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Louis: Hello, Saphir. Would you like to join me for tea?
Saphir: Tea? Yeah... No, thanks. I'm not the best company for small talk right now. Better find someone else.
Louis: You do seem more solemn than usual today.
Saphir: You noticed that...and invited me anyway. Why?
Louis: Well, tea can be quite soothing, you know." — Louis andSaphir,C Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Yunaka: I don't like lying to my friends. That's why it's better if I don't say much about my past. Or about myself at all.
Louis: Well, I see nothing wrong with that. Even putting our pasts aside, I believe we two can understand each other fairly well.
Yunaka: You think?
Louis: So long as we have tea and a friend to share it with, we can discuss whatever we please. Besides, I'm rather loquacious myself, so it's nice to find someone willing to listen. Listening can be a bit draining, so I thank you for humoring me in that regard." —Yunaka and Louis,A Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Louis: I'm pleased to be of assistance. I have high hopes to read your vivid rendering of our characters' spirited conversations.
Jade: Hm.
Louis: Oh dear, you're tight-lipped again. Is something else troubling you?
Jade: No, Louis. That was my laugh. You are so blatant that it's genuinely funny." — Louis andJade,B Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Alear: Wow. It must have been tough being the big brother.
Louis: I suppose so, from a certain point of view. Our mother passed away before her time, so it was up to me to raise them. But I love them nonetheless. We all muddled through together somehow.
Alear: Maybe taking care of them is how you got to be such a good retainer.
Louis: You know, you may be right. It takes quite a bit to ruffle me, as it were." —Alear and Louis,B Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Horrible! Just horrible! The fires are out now, but what possessed them to do all this?" — Louis,exploration dialogue afterChapter 17,Fire Emblem Engage
- ↑"Alear: You're fidgeting a lot today. What's going on?
Louis: My apologies. I had hoped my anxieties would be less obvious for all the world to see. I brought you here to ask a straightforward question. Yet my hands are shaking, my face is flushed with sweat, and my feet feel leaden." —Alear and Louis,Ring Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"No matter how often I come by to wake you up, it always makes me a touch nervous. I must say, it still doesn't feel quite real...that you gave me the Pact Ring. When I think of it, I feel as if I'm slipping away...into another one of my daydreams." — Louis,Pact Rank Wake Up Event,Fire Emblem Engage
- ↑"Rosado: Weird! I know you like grapes, so I thought you'd like these little guys too. I guess sea grapes aren't for everyone.
Louis: They are also seaweed—not grapes! They are vile pretenders to the name. I despise them. They resemble real grapes, but they are salty, and after eating them, so was my language." —Rosado and Louis,B Support,Fire Emblem Engage - ↑"Rosado: Weird! I know you like grapes, so I thought you'd like these little guys too. I guess sea grapes aren't for everyone.
Louis: I try to appreciate the things my friends like, to the extent that I can. However, I draw the line at sea grapes!" —Rosado and Louis,B Support,Fire Emblem Engage
