Character Bio: Louis Tarantella

THIS BIO CONTAINS A HUGE SPOILER TO THE FILM, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND READING IT UNTIL YOU'VE SEEN THE FINISHED FLICK.


The youngest of three possible heirs to the Tarantella empire Louis learnt to be ruthless from a young age. As a result of this he created the meanest, toughest imaginary friend, Sasquatch. One day when playing make believe with his siblings he made his imaginary friend murder theirs. Initially distraught they soon forgot. Louis didn’t, he saw the advantage and power keeping Sasquatch could have. Keeping him a secret he grew up like his siblings. He started learning the family business quickly, much to the approval of the older members. Still remembering the old playground tactics Louis became a master at manipulation and extortion. His brothers had different fates. One left favouring the clean life the other met a gruesome end (found at the bottom of the Thames with concrete shoes). This left nothing to stop Louis getting to the top, once there he started pushing the Tarantella’s into a new direction. Still maintaining his imaginary friend from childhood he was able to see other peoples and it was only a matter of time before this and his talent for crime led to him finding a way of exploiting them. He contacted some Nazi scientists and developed a plan. Through some arcane science he learnt they were made out of pure imagination and with the right technology they could be turned into pretty much anything that requires it. The scientists build a machine that could do just that: kill a child’s imaginary friend and turn it into, musical score, a novel etc. Settling on screenplays, Louis then commenced his ‘Harvey’ racket. A large number of the family thought of him insane and either left or tried to seize control, neither of which boded well.
