Luis Sera is a video game character from the survival horror game Resident Evil 4. He is a Spaniard who befriends Leon during his mission to save U.S. President's daughter, Ashley Graham. Although he refuses to divulge his true objectives to Leon and Ashley at first, he helps them out whenever they're in serious danger. Luis' voice was provided by Rino Romano.
[edit] Background
Claiming to be a former police officer from Madrid, Luis returns to his native village only to discover that his fellow villagers have turned into homicidal sub-humans known as Ganados. Luis is recruited by Osmund Saddler as a researcher to work on a safe way to remove the Las Plagas parasites from their hosts. Unbeknownst to Luis, it was Saddler himself who unleashed the Plagas into the village and instead used Luis' research to make the Plagas harder to remove from their hosts. After learning the truth, Luis was imprisoned by Saddler and implanted with one of the Plagas.
While infiltrating the cult, Luis sends an e-mail to a former academic friend from his college days informing him of his predicament. Unbeknownst to Luis, his friend was already dead and the e-mail was intercepted by "The Organization". Luis was rescued by Ada Wong (an agent of The Organization), and had the Plaga parasite removed from his body. He was successful in stealing and hiding a specialized sample of the Plaga, which allowed Saddler to take control of Ganados. Luis returned to the village, where he was taken captive by the village chief Bitores Mendez. There, he met with American agent Leon S. Kennedy, who was also taken captive by the chief. The two managed to escape, but not before Leon was injected with the Plaga sample by Saddler. Before this, Leon got Luis out of a closet in a house outside the village. Luis asked him if he had a smoke. Leon replied, "Got gum". Luis also tells Leon that while he was a cop, he might have seen a T-Virus sample in one of the Madrid police department's labs, probably hinting in how worldwide the T-Virus might be known.
Luis meets and befriends Leon, and later Ashley, on several occasions in various parts of the village and within Ramon Salazar's castle. (One noted scenario is when he helps Leon defeat a horde of Ganados at an old house on the outskirts of the village.) He met with Leon one last time, in which he was impaled in the back by one of Saddler's stingers as punishment for his betrayal. Although he lost the Plaga sample to Saddler, before he dies in chapter 3 he gives bottle of Plaga suppressants to Leon.
Although already dead after that point, Leon and Ashley managed to procure several of Luis' research notes which provided detailed information about the Plagas and the mutated creatures that came from Saddler's research. The notes eventually led Leon and Ashley to a Plaga Removal Laser machine hidden within Saddler's island complex, allowing Luis to foil Saddler's plans even though he did not live to see the final outcome of Los Illuminados.
[edit] Trivia
- Luis can be injured during the scenario where he and Leon defend the cabin from Ganados; if injured enough times, he will turn his gun on Leon, although it takes a great many misfires for this to occur (around seven or eight). Luis also supplies Leon with health and ammunition items during the struggle. During this scenario, Luis is equipped with a standard Red9 handgun, which can be purchased from the merchant shortly beforehand. He is generally fairly efficient at dispatching Ganados, although his AI is less effective in Professional mode.
- Luis features in the objective of two of the missions in the Separate Ways mini game; the second report delivered by Ada expands on Luis' background.
