D'Artagnan's landlord and the husband of Madame Bonacieux. He is an old, stingy, cowardly, and self-serving haberdasher. His wife being sent to the Bastille because of her secret dealings, followed by his being summoned and threatened by Cardinal Richelieu and bought off with a small bribe, is a portrait of his moral bankruptcy. A man who once trembled before D'Artagnan when asking for rent is now a base pawn of the Cardinal, spying on his own wife under the delusion that he is defending the state.
In his fifties, this former haberdasher married the Queen's young and beautiful laundress thanks to his money. Though he initially got along well with his wife and had nothing to do with politics, after his Bastille nightmare, he became the lowest-level plaything in dark games.
He has a head perched on a long, restless neck with small, darting eyes. His pale and anxious facial features reflect a bourgeois aesthetic trying to appear wealthy.
Kardinal
A supreme and terrifying 'friend'.
D'Artagnan
His terrifying, unstable, and bullying tenant.
Madam Bonacieux
His dangerous wife, whom he fears and tries to spy on, but cannot fully understand.
