His mother died in childbirth, leaving him to be raised by his grandfather, who hunted in the woodlands in the valley. From a very young age, Dr. Serra had a curiosity for the world around him and was observant beyond his years. He would often attempt to follow his grandfather on hunting trips and had become fascinated with fairy tales and stories, most notably that of Don Quixote. His grandfather would note that, had he not been stuck in the reclusive village, he would make a worthy scholar.In his adolescence, Serra's grandfather was attacked by a ravenous wolf while hunting, the old man managed to make it back to the family's cabin, but had become infected with an unknown illness as a result of the attack and his condition would only further deteriorate, leaving rumours of "madness" spreading among the villagers. The word of the grandfather's strange illness soon reached the then-current village chieftan, who confided in Bitores Méndez to prevent the infection from spreading. Thus, one night while Serra was out of the house, he would return to find his family's cabin set ablaze, with his grandfather lost to the flames. Méndez would write that the entire village had gathered to watch in shock and terror, yet even after the last ember had been extinguished, the young Serra still looked on without uttering a word, not moving a muscle until dawn. After which, he disappeared from the village. After leaving, Serra set out to make a name for himself in the modern world in his grandfather's memory and enrolled in a public university, earning a degree as a prodigy biologist. Afterwards, Dr. Serra's potential was noted by his peers and his reputation drew the attention of then-prestigious Umbrella Pharmaceuticals, who hired Serra. During his tenure with the company, Dr. Serra produced several over-the-counter medications, all of which were unfortunately discontinued before reaching shelves. At some point, Dr. Serra would become part of Umbrella Europe's Sixth Laboratory, which oversaw continued research on the NE-α, a parasite that could take control of a victim by hijacking it's nervous system. Luis would become disillusioned with the company and his work and soon resigned from the company. Dr. Serra returned to Valdelobos as it was being taken over by Los Iluminados, a cult which worshiped a parasitic organism native to the area. The cult's leader and prophet, Lord Osmund Saddler, used the village's superstitious legends and devout religiosity as a recruiting tool for his real objective: the creation of bio-weapons for use in a world domination plot. Dr. Serra was hired to lead the genetic research and modification of the Plagas on a private island facility, and had been given instructions by Saddler to discover ways to weaken and/or remove the Plaga from hosts. The true intent and purpose of such research for Saddler was to learn the parasite's weaknesses and thus engineer a new generation of Plaga that were resilient to these weaknesses and near-impossible to overcome.») More («love language is physical touch»)}]
