History[]

Primary Canon (Expanded Universe) History[]

Sherman Tully once had a dream that his deceased grandfather was standing at the foot of my bed and was telling him something. Louis claimed to have done many favors for his cousin Sherman. He helped Sherman find tax shelters but they were always bad and needed bailing out. He fixed Sherman up with Diane Troxler but ended up giving free dermabrasion for a year.

As 1990 was hours away, Sherman Tully got a visit from his cousin Louis Tully. Louis pleaded his case to Sherman in an employee break room in the Parkview Psychiatric Hospital. He also emphasized they were cousins. Sherman took his food out of the microwave and was taken aback by the request to bend the rules and get the Ghostbusters discharged because he could lose his job and license and it was unethical. He refused to help and sat down. Louis sat down and asked if he could just release them since he was a doctor. Sherman clarified he was a dermatologist and could not write orders for the psych ward. Louis asked him to do it as a personal favor and pointed out he did so many favors for him in the past. Sherman remembered tax shelter thing, "underground golf." He pushed his glasses up. Louis copied. Louis brought up how he set up Diane Troxler with him and she put out right away. Sherman informed him what he had to do for her for a year. He still refused to help because he could get in trouble. He poured ketchup on his food. Louis emphasized they would get in real big trouble if they failed to move fast and became distraught over the ghost guy who came in and kidnapped Oscar. Sherman advised him to go to the police and stated he did not believe in any of it. He looked out his window and saw the Slime Eclipse outside. Sherman agreed to help in exchange for a ride in Ecto-1a. The Ghostbusters suited up and promptly left Parkview. Louis and Sherman were left standing at the curb. Sherman was under the impression Louis was the fifth Ghostbuster. Louis assured Sherman he only helped with the 'big stuff.'

After Louis left New York, Sherman tried to stay in contact but Louis never returned his calls. A few years later, Sherman was surprised to learn Louis was returning for a little bit. He picked Louis up at LaGuardia International Airport and almost immediately asked for help in regard to an investment opportunity he was considering. Sherman then noticed Louis' condition, from Tiamat's meddling, and slowed down. He then advised Louis not too put much thought into the Blood Rain.

Personality[]
