The accountant of the Pharaon. Although he gets along well with the ship's owner, Morrel, he has a cunning and envious personality. He cannot stomach the respect Dantes earned at a young age and his impending promotion to captain. He is the mastermind who wrote the anonymous conspiracy letter that paved the way to the dungeons of the Chateau d'If. In the returns of Napoleon, he always seizes the opportunity to secure his own wealth. He is a heartless figure who acts entirely based on mathematical calculations.
While working as an accountant on Dantes's ship, he witnessed Dantes's rise and success, turning the small misunderstandings between them into a great grudge inside himself and weaving the conspiracy stitch by stitch.
He has a dark face and an appearance of being disrespectful to his subordinates and sycophantic to his superiors. His pen is always on his ear or in his mind, as all his senses are centered on money.
