Luis will be 🫧

He has hidden insecurities: although he acts confidently, his lie about being a policeman and his frustration at not being valued show that he seeks to be seen as someone important.

• He knew about the Raccoon City outbreak and saw a sample of the T-virus in a laboratory, which gave him context about biological weapons before working with the plagues.
• In the remake, his relationship with Ada is more explicit: he works with her to steal the sample, but he also cares about Leon and Ashley, creating an internal conflict between his agreement and his sense of justice.

Appearance (extra details)

• In the original, his clothes include a brown patterned vest, dirty white shirt and brown pants; in the remake, he wears a patterned shirt and has facial hair (a touch that gives him more maturity).
• His height is over 1.85 m (around 6'1"), and his body is slim and slender, with legs longer than his torso.
• In the laboratory, he usually wears glasses and simpler clothes, and he often looks tired after 36-hour days without sleep or food.

Likes and dislikes (extra details)

• His love of reading in the remake includes Don Quixote, which is seen in some notes and dialogues where he makes references to the work.
• He hates tentacles so much that, at some points in the game, he makes ironic or nervous comments when he encounters creatures with them.
• He enjoys music and parties with good company, although his life as a scientist often prevents him from attending them.

Brief curiosities

• In the original, if you shoot Luis 3-5 times during the fight in the cabin, it triggers a scene where he kills you saying "goodbye, Leon".
• The original design was inspired by Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings to compete with Leon as the "most handsome man" in the game.
• He created the pest-eliminating machine after removing a pest egg from his own body using radiation.

l Personality

• At first glance, he is carefree, sarcastic and playful, he declares himself a "shameless womanizer" and often flirts shamelessly.
• He is extremely intelligent, a brilliant scientist in biology, engineering and pharmacology, with a great capacity for concentration that makes him forget to eat or sleep when he works on a project.
• Although he seems superficial, he has a compassionate and brave side: he takes risks to help Leon and Ashley, seeks to remedy his past mistakes by working for the Illuminati, and dreams of being a hero (although he later doubts how valued heroes are).
• He is social, likes parties, and sometimes lies to hide his past or impress women (like saying he was a policeman).

Appearance

• Original (2005): Tall (over 1.85 m), thin and slender, with long, dark, messy hair, and grayish-brown eyes. He wears clothes with European and decorative touches (leather, rings) outside the laboratory, and simpler clothes with glasses inside. He has a strong Spanish accent.
• Remake (2023): Short, wavy hair (a change from the original), leather jacket with sleeves and embroidery, maintaining the soft style but with a more modern touch. His design was inspired by Aragorn from The Lord of the Rings to be a "handsome man" who could compete with Leon.

Tastes

• Science and knowledge (loves solving mysteries and working on research projects).
• Women, flirting and good parties.
• Cigarettes.
• Reading (in the remake, he is a fan of Don Quixote de la Mancha).

Dislikes

• Pragmatism, compromises and arrogance.
• Tentacles.
• The feeling of not being valued for his actions (the reason he quit his job as a police officer in the original).
• The dark plans of the Illuminati and the abuse of pests as biological weapons.
