L0U13 is an NPC in New Tales from the Borderlands. He is a debonair assassination robot and long-time friend of Octavio.
Background
An eloquent assassination bot with instant access to a database of known targets, L0U13 is not without manners (for instance, he'd never kill you before learning your name). Programmed for a life of calculated murder, L0U13 aspires to more. This dapper killing machine longs to give humanity the gift of laughter and is pursuing a side career in comedy. Fascinated by the group dynamics between Anu, Octavio, and Fran, L0U13 is happy to track the strength of their ever-evolving bonds via a rather unconventional rating system.
Involvement
L0U13 is not a player character, but does accompany the players' through much of the story. He eventually grows to question his purpose in life, and sacrifices himself to protect Octavio from a bullet. Depending on choices made throughout the story, he can reappear fixed and functional in the game's epilogue.
In-Game Role
| “ | Data suggests that skateboards are more well received than stars, hearts, thumbs-up, and winky faces. The question you should be asking: why aren't we using skateboards to rate everything else?
