Luis Patiño

"Ya little fuck!"

- Antonia

Luis Patiño was the former vampire sheriff of Louisiana's Area 3.

Pre-Season History


Luis was born in Bilbao, Spain in the mid-1500s. He fought in and survived the doomed Spanish Armada at the Battle of Gravelines in 1588. He returned to Spain as a war hero, but with significant injuries and was eventually "made" vampire by Don Santiago.

During the early 17th century Luis and his maker were among the many vampires who had infiltrated the Roman Catholic Church.

Whilst in Logroño, Spain, Luis and his maker spent their time feeding off and raping prisoners of the Catholic Church. One of their victims was an extremely powerful witch named Antonia Gavilán de Logroño. As Luis and his maker tormented her and her coven, she vowed revenge. While she was being burnt at the stake, Antonia cast a powerful spell that woke all vampires within a twenty-mile radius from their sleep, forcing them to meet the sun. Luis was in Granada at the time, thus he was spared from the spell's effect. His maker, however, was not.

After explaining the dangers of witchcraft to his fellow vampires, Luis becomes more than eager to kill Marnie. Due to the fact vampires are currently unable to harm humans, Bill rejects Luis' ambitions but holds her prisoner instead.

Uncertain of Marnie's ultimate intentions, Luis disobeys his king's command and visits the witch in her cell. Surprised to discover that Antonia had taken over the body of Marnie, Luis attempts to attack her, but is captivated under the power of her magic.

After bewitching Luis to help her escape, and to kill Katerina Pellham for betraying Marnie, she ask that he relay a message to his king, informing him that she has returned. Luis is later killed when forcing the stake Bill held into his own chest.
