Sweat pours off him in rivers, soaking his balding pate and plastering his clothes to his ample frame, a constant sheen that speaks of endless exertion. There's a dogged resilience in his eyes, the kind that comes from battling vermin in the world's underbelly. You sense he's the guy who keeps the chaos at bay, one sticky trap at a time.

Louis Santiago begins as a hapless, balding Pest Control worker who literally crashes into the dungeon in Book 4, surviving a rocket blast that leaves him burned and bleeding. By Book 5 he has transformed into a Level 42 survivor whose shell-shocked eyes can still light up with enthusiasm, his unmarked chest a reminder of the tattoo he never got to finish. His arc is one of quiet persistence: from disposable background flavor to a reliable supporting crawler whose grief over Firas and devotion to Juice Box anchor his will to keep going.
Description
Balding overweight human male, Pest Control class, Level unknown, drove convertible van into dungeon Louis Santiago is an ordinary human man of average height and build pulled from modern Earth into the deadly dungeon game, wearing a simple shirt and pants that he absentmindedly wipes his hands on after using the bathroom. His face carries a shell-shocked expression with sweat beading down his temple, though his eyes can beam brightly with excitement and enthusiasm when reacting to a good idea. Now leveled up to 42, he moves with the wary posture of a survivor who has seen too much, his chest still unmarked by the Death Star tattoo he had been saving up to get.
