Portrayed by: Christoph Waltz
Appearance: He always wears a suit, even when he’s at home. He’s still well-built and athletic for his age, yet prefers golf and croquet to other sports. Although he is American he is often mistaken for being British.
Personality: Lewis often tends to appear rather cold and distant, and has a hard time showing feelings. It is often impossible to guess what he thinks because he has an easy time hiding it, and it is just as hard to tell if he’s serious or sarcastic. However, you do get him to crack jokes if you sit down with him to a glass of scotch. Good manners and eloquence are very important to him and he likes people who stand up for themselves. Despite being very reserved and not the emotional type, he cares deeply for his niece and worries constantly about her.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Rhetoric definitely counts to his strengths, as well as the ability to think quickly and react fast. His greatest weakness is perhaps his lack of empathy which has always helped him in his job, but not in anything outside of the courthouse.
History: Lewis was the oldest son of Georgina and Edmund Gilmore, one of the most powerful lawyers on the east coast. His parents were also hunters, and so Lewis was introduced to hunting at an early age but was more interested in school than in hunting. However, after he graduated from high school he became a hunter- though more the research type- but quickly went back to college and studied law at Yale. He wasn’t close to his parents and decided to take care of his little brother Adam so he could grow up safe. Shortly after Lewis started college, his parents got another son, Richard, but by that time he had barely contact with them and never got to know his youngest brother. When Adam and his wife were killed by a demon, he and Helen became the legal guardians of 9-year old Georgina, their only niece. Both were definitely not made to be parents, but tried their best.
