Louis Gridley Wu, a fictional character, is the protagonist in the Ringworld series of books, written by Larry Niven.
Louis Wu was born in 2650 to Carlos Wu and Sharrol Janss. When he appears in Ringworld, Louis is 6′2″ (188 cm) tall. Without "Flatlander" bodypaint, his brown eyes show no discernible slant and his yellow-brown skinned features are a blended fusion of Earth's many races.[1] Born a "Flatlander", Louis is best known among his friends for inventing the "Sabbatical"—going off alone in a spaceship outside the boundaries of known space until one can tolerate human company again. Louis was the first human being to make contact with the Trinoc species.
He is also the only hominid ever to become a Protector and return to normal (Breeder) state afterward.
