Louis was a Plantation owner in Louisianna. He describes himself as being a 25 year old man when Lestat made him a vampire in 1791. His mortal family consisted of a dead father, a younger brother, Paul, and a mother and sister, of whom we hear little. Louis' claim to fame is that he remains the most "human" of all the vampires throughout. He is the father of Claudia, though not by choice, and also, later, of Madeline, Claudia's doting companion. Louis, for the most part, turns his back on his gifts, choosing to continue his life in as mortal a fashion as he can. He despises the taking of life and is furious when he finds out only after he has been made to take human blood that he could as easily have fed from animals.
|  |  |  | Claudia was six years old when she became a vampire. She was forbidin. Lestat had created her to keep Louis from leaving him. Louis was Claudia's father and lover. Over the years, as Claudia's mind matured, her body stayed the same. She was a curse inside of a curse. Never to grow up. After her and Louis escaped from Lestat. Louis fell in love with Armand. Claudia, upon seeing that she was in the way, brought Madeline(a doll maker) to Louis to change so that she could have someone to take care of her. Soon after that Claudia was taken away from Louis and left for the morning sun. |  |  |  |
Madeline was a doll maker. Claudia had brought her to Louis because she didn't have the strenght, herself, to give the gift to Madeline. Madeline then became Claudia's immortal mother. She was suposd to take care of Claudia. In a way she never was a true vampire. She was cast into the morning sun with Claudia before she even had a chance to feed.
