A French-Canadian, Lorique was the long-time right-hand man of the late Josias Lacoste and the foreman of mine number 129 at Forty Miles Creek. He is a master technician in the muddy details of gold mining. When the heirs decided to operate the mine after his death, he became one of the main managers of information and action during the process. Having entered Ben's service, he becomes the supportive whisper that always provokes him in technical discussions and blinds him with the legend of new veins. He is the practical assurance of the excavation team for the engineer's plans to reach the volcano by operating the Golden Mount.
He is a French-Canadian foreman (in his 40s). He has reached a great level of practice by working for years in British Columbia and California. He washed gold with Jose Lacoste for a long time, but after Lacoste died, he spent months waiting for someone to deliver the inheritance to as the head of the abandoned camp.
In his forties, he is someone dressed in practical clothing that carries the fatigue of the mine yet retains his agility. His physical durability, capable of skillfully gripping any kind of spade or pickaxe, stands out.
