Persons of Interest

Notable individuals our heroes have heard of, have met, or which they had never met.

In Paix

Philip du Paix -- Our heroes' employer, a slightly shady nobleman who hangs around the Le Labyrinthe.
Lucien du Lac -- A sometimes-seen associate of Philip's, likely adept at Porté.
The Marquis de Paix -- Ruler of the city, the Marquis de Paix has been a fixture in Le Labyrinthe for so long that most have forgotten what disgrace saw him exiled here and what family he is originally from, though it is often thought to be Leveque. He is a thoughtful man largely given to his own dissolute pursuits, though he is also L'Empereur's chief ambassador in Paix, a task which he seems to set himself to with diligence and loyalty if not excitement. He has been so long in the city that he goes by the sobriquet "de Paix" - not a nobleman of Paix, but the lord who is Paix.
Nicolette du Montaigne -- L'Empereur's seventh daughter is ostensibly the royal attache in Paix; in fact, she offended her father with her willfulness and was essentially exiled to Paix. Here, she rarely involves herself with politics and instead spends her time seeking out trouble in places high and low in the city. She has lately drawn Julien into her circle of scoundrels, perhaps to Julien's peril.
Lady Adelaide Moncrieff -- Grand dame of Le Labyrinthe society, she has a conquistador's interest in Aleksei.
Lady Christine Rois et Reines -- The sister of the Captain of the Musketeers, she has become romantically involved with Sebastien.

General Louis Bisset du Verre -- Brother to the Duc du Verre, Louis Bisset is a calculating man who has seen his family's fortunes rise as a consequence of the war with Castille. With Montegue sent to Ussura, General Bisset now commands the entire Montaigne army in Castille, though without the skill of his predecessor. Between his greed and his lack of strategic brilliance, the war may be about to take a bad turn. He tends to direct the war from Barcino, far from the front lines.
General Luc Leveque d'Aur -- The youngest member of the Montaigne general staff, General Leveque is the only surviving son of Victor Duc d'Aur. He leads the Montaigne army (as had his two older brothers before their deaths by sniper) outside the Castillian fortress of El Morro.
General Francois Etalon du Toille -- General du Toille is the cousin of the Duc du Toille and commanding general of the southern theater of the Montaigne war in the mostly-conquered Rancho Zepeda. Humiliated by Castillian resistance fighters, he wages a particularly brutal war against the Last Wall around the southern tip of the peninsula.
Captain Philippe Etalon du Toille -- Nephew and heir to the Duc du Toille, Captain Philippe is a famous cavalry commander who is said to have never lost a battle. He serves under his cousin, General du Toille.

Queen Elaine -- The Queen of Avalon, Elaine brought the Sidhe back into this world and threw off the last cultural vestiges of centuries-long rule of Avalon by Montaigne.
Roger Northrup, 7th Earl of Luthon - A young and brilliant Avalon diplomat, Lord Roger is Queen Elaine's foremost diplomat, a common envoy to the courts of other nations. The heroes saved him during the Avalon Gambit.

Carlotta -- An incredibly talented opera singer, Carlotta is in fact 'El Chacal', Castille's most notorious spy. The heroes foiled her attempts to recruit a Montaigne traitor in the affair of the Soldier and the Soprano.
