History[]

Louise was the wife of Carmine Falcone, and the mother of his four children, Sofia, Alberto, Mario, and an unnamed girl. She lived in Rome with her family, however, Carmine and his father Vincent sought to go to Gotham City in America to form their criminal empire there. However, Carmine needed to pay his Don for their family’s passage, and it meant he had to kill his second daughter. Carmine ordered his bodyguard Milos Grapa to dispose of the girl, however, at the last minute Milos was called off by Louisa, who ordered him to take the girl to America and put her up for adoption.

Milos did just that, and the Don gave the Falcone Family his blessings to go to America, believing the child was dead.

She later became a nun in a local covenant to repent for her family's sins, and eventually developed a blindness.
