Louis was an Immortal and a soldier in the army of Napoleon. At the end of 1813 or the beginning of 1814, his company came through a French town in which they confiscated without compensation food supplies. When the royalist M. Armand tried to resist, he was shot dead along with his family. Ducharde was aware that Armand's daughter, Violane, would revive as an Immortal. He stayed behind and took care of her. One day, before the end of 1815, Violane fled. It is unlikely that they ever met again.
