Louis de Sade

Louis de Sade (ルイ・ド・サド, Rui do Sado ) was a character from Jun Mochizuki 's The Case Study of Vanitas . A Vampire of the Crimson Moon, he was the brother of Dominique de Sade and childhood friend of Noé Archiviste .

Twenty years prior to Noé's trip to Paris , Louis was born to the de Sade aristocracy as one of four siblings alongside Antoine , Veronica , and Dominique, the latter of whom was his twin. However in Vampiric society, twins were believed to be a symbol of bad fortune, and their birth would ruin the de Sades' reputation. And so they chose arbitrarily one to keep, Dominique, and one to "dispose," Louis; only for his grandfather to declare this a "waste" and take Louis in himself. [1] Treated as already dead by the rest of his family, Louis would be raised by the man in Averoigne for the rest of his childhood, which is where he and Dominique first met Noé, who had been taken as a student by their grandfather. The three quickly developed a deep friendship as they grew up together from childhood to adolescence. [2]

Louis and Dominique were raised with the mistaken belief that Louis was one year older, and that the reason for Louis's disownment from the family was due to him being born with a "sickness." Thanks to the ministrations of his grandfather, Louis came to learn of the existence of curse-bearers and believed himself to have been born one. Louis would begin spending much time repeatedly carving wooden stakes in anticipation for what he believed to be his inevitable loss of sanity and death. [2]

This would come to a head when in their teens, Noé and Dominique would attempt to rescue a child inflicted with Malnomen and fail, putting their lives at risk. To save them, Louis succumbed to the corruption of his True Name and became a curse-bearer himself, killing the curse-bearing child and the rest of their friends in a maddened rampage after losing control. His last wish was to have Noé rather than anyone else kill him. Noé could not do it, and Louis was brutally decapitated by his grandfather. [2] Louis's death would go on to haunt Noé and Dominique for years to come, becoming the driving force behind Dominique's self-loathing [1] and Noé's grudge against Naenia . [3]

Appearance [ ]

A full color image of Louis.

Louis was a tall, thin boy, though, having died in adolescence, still androgynous in build. Like his sister Dominique, he had a small chin, thin eyebrows, upturned, yellow-gold eyes with long eyelashes, and pale skin. His hair was black and straight, falling flat onto his face and cut around to be the length of his face. He had long bangs, parted at the middle, which fell into his eyes.

His outfits varied, though, being raised by a high-ranking vampire, his clothing was usually formal and high quality. In most of his appearances, he wore a white shirt (sometimes with a black vest) a dark bow tie, black shorts, black socks, and black shoes.

When Dominique imagined him as an adult, he looked much the same. His hair cut and clothing choices were similar. She imagined him with a slender frame, slightly shorter than Noé.

Personality [ ]

Louis was snarky, skeptical, blunt, and at times outright cruel. He lacked sensitivity towards others, sometimes to the point of hurting their feelings. While he seemed distressed by others' suffering, he was reluctant to apologize or admit wrongdoing. This aloofness seemed to extend even towards himself, and he projected a cold image regarding his supposed status as a cursebearer and thus, his impending demise. In his first appearance, he cuts his own palm open with a knife, and does not seem to flinch at this. This caused his anguish to manifest in more symbolic ways- in the months preceding his death, he grew more distant, and began to obsessively carve stakes to be given to Noé. He seemed to be somewhat prideful, hoping to be killed by Noé as opposed to his grandfather or a bourreau.

Despite his coldness, Louis cared deeply for his sister and Noé. Knowledge of his condition caused him to distance himself from the two of them. While he was unable to completely hide his emotions around them, he would often bite his tongue for their sake. Naenia remarked that to save Domi and Noé had been the first time he'd wanted something "very badly," enough to willingly hand over his True Name , and thus, his life.

History [ ]

Louis was born either shortly before or his twin sister Dominique. The de Sade family name would be tarnished if it was revealed that the Countess had given birth to twins, so the family decided that one of the twins would live and the other would die. Count de Sade chose to keep Dominique, and Louis was slated to die. The Teacher decided to raise Louis and to tell the child that he was sick.

When Louis was a young child, between five and eight years old, Teacher brought Noé to his castle. Louis and Dominique quickly became friends with Noé, and the three grew up together. Throughout his childhood Louis could frequently be seen watching Noé and Dominique playing in the castle, while he sat and watched from the darkness; reading, or playing with a cat similar in appearance to Murr.

When Dominique realized Noé was an Archiviste, she quickly asked Noé to drink her and Louis’s blood. Louis resisted, but Noé managed to drink his blood and saw Louis, curled up in the darkness. Around the time of this incident the kids met Fred , Gilles , Mina , and Fanny and made a secret base in the woods. Also in this time period, the Shapeless One purposefully left books and studies about cursebearers in his collection room for Louis to read. Louis questions what the Teacher wants him to do, and his grandfather responds that he simply wants to observe what he does with this information.

Soon after this incident, Louis’s emotional stability takes a noticeable turn for the worse. Noé comments that he often saw Louis staring off into the distance, appearing pained around Dominique, and avoiding Teacher. Louis begins carving wooden stakes, hoping that Noé will kill him with them. While he carved his final stake, Noé approached him and asked him what he could do for Louis. Louis began to tell Noé that he was a cursebearer, only to be interrupted by Dominique telling him and Noé that Mina was about to be beheaded as a curse-bearer.

Noé intended to save Mina, but Louis stated that he couldn’t save her. Despite this, Noé and Dominique go to their secret base in the woods, where Mina transforms and begins to murder their friends. In order to protect his sister and his best friend, Louis gives his true name to Naenia and kills Mina, Gilles, and Fanny. He loses control of himself and lunges at Noé, begging Noé to murder him. He begins to drink Noé’s blood, unable to stop, and is beheaded by the Teacher.

Powers and Abilities [ ]

• Enhanced speed, strength and endurance - Due to his vampire heritage, Louis had enhanced abilities.
• Cryokinesis - Like the other de Sades, it is possible that Louis possessed the ability to alter formulae slightly to conjure and control ice, although that has not been shown so far.

Relationships [ ]

Noé archiviste [ ].

At first, Louis seemed to look down on Noé, telling the younger vampire that the humans he was raised by were probably just raising him to be eaten. Louis initially saw Noé as a naive, weird kid. He never stopped believing that Noé's view of the world was much too idealistic, trying to stop him from saving Mina from her execution. But as time passed the two of them became quite close. Noé was Louis’s only true friend in the world aside from his sister, and towards the end of his life Louis couldn’t even enjoy spending time around Dominique. Louis never told Noé about his identity as a curse-bearer, but secretly wished that Noé would be the one to kill him when the time came (giving Louis a tiny bit of control over his own inevitable death).

Louis seems to have enjoyed pulling pranks on Noé, from his half- jokes about Noé’s grandparents to pretending to get lost in the woods. Louis enjoyed seeing Noé’s reactions to his tricks— often times these reactions were affirmation that even though Louis’s family had cast him out and his guardian saw him as an experiment, Noé still cared about Louis.

Dominique de Sade [ ]

Louis was affectionate towards his sister, and allowed her to shyly cling to him when they were first meeting Noé. He wanted to protect Dominique, and saw her as a child, not able to understand the pain he was going through or how much better off she was than him. After learning about his status as a curse bearer, Louis began to dislike spending time around Dominique— he loved his sister, but knowing that she was a beloved member of the family while he lived a tortured life as a curse-bearer was painful. It’s unclear as to whether or not Louis knew Domi was his twin or not, but some of his lines in the manga seem to indicate that he knew.

The Teacher [ ]

Not much is known about Louis' relationship with his grandfather, but it seems to have been a negative one. Louis was wary of the Teacher, even as a young child, and told Noé that he must have terrible luck to have been taken in by his grandfather. Louis spent time with the Teacher as a child, but didn’t seem to have a close connection. After learning that the Teacher truly viewed his youngest grandson as an experiment Louis began to avoid him as much as possible. The Teacher ended up being the one to behead Louis after his experiment was complete.

It is suggested that the person who made Louis into a cursebearer was Teacher himself (as, contrary to the De Sade’s statements, he was not actually a cursebearer at birth).

• “Say, Noé… even if… there was a curse-bearer right in front of you… Could you still think that Blue Moon was beautiful?” [4]
• “You have no luck. Having my grandfather take a shine to you… You poor thing. ” [2]
• “As if! As far as the House de Sade is concerned, I’m already dead.” [2]
• “You really do have awful taste…” [2]
• “Save her? How? Can you erase the Blue Moon’s curse? You know it’s impossible. We can’t save her, Noé!!” [2]
• “…Kill… Kill me… Noé…” [2]
• “Noé… listen… If I… If I’m going to die anyways… I’d really rather you were the one… to kill me!” [2]
• “…Kill me, Noé. Use those stakes. Drive them right through my heart—!” [5]
• “Once you’re older and you’ve learned a lot more… I’m sure you’ll understand… just how much—” [6]
• “ ‘How much better your life is than mine.’ ” [6]
• “…How much… everyone loves and cherishes you.” [6]
• “You really do look… just like me.” [1]

(*) - Denotes that the character did not appear physically, but as a part of another character's memories.

• It is possible that Louis is named after Louis de Pointe du Lac, [8] a character from The Vampire Chronicles [9] series by Anne Rice. Though this is no more than conjecture, Jun Mochizuki has stated to be a fan of Anne Rice's works, to the point of having named her characters after The Vampire Chronicles characters before. [10] This, coupled with the number of parallels between the two characters in question, leads to a strong possibility that this be the origin behind Louis's name.
• In Mémoire 12: Pause , Dominique says to Jeanne "'Acts of pleasure are the passion to which all others are subordinate.' I'm quoting my father." This is one possible translation of a quote attributed to the real life Marquis de Sade, usually translated as, "Sexual pleasure is, I agree, a passion to which all others are subordinate but in which they all unite." This confirms the fictional head of the de Sade family to be directly based on the Marquis de Sade.
