Page history last edited by Michael 6 years, 1 month ago

Capitaine Claude August Garrabrant, Comte de Vendée

     aristocrat, royalist, French army officer

     5' 10" tall, 176 pounds, brown eyes, black hair, mustache and van dyke beard

 

  • social goal: uphold and advance the family's good name and status

  • professional goalfight for France and for the Royalist (legitimist) cause

  • romantic goal: does there exist a woman as fair, as wise, and as courageous as the ladies of Faerie?

  • nemesis:   republican, socialist, and Bonapartist factions within France

 

     Born January 30, 1848; you are the only child of Errol Garrabrant, 19th Comte de Vendée (died 1863); educated by tutors and at a Catholic university. Attended the Ecole Militaire; saw brief action in the Franco-Prussian War as a member of the Cadet Regiment; more action during the suppression of the Paris Commune in 1871. Currently, you command a compagnie of light cavalry (about 200 men, led by yourself, along with a lieutenant and two sous-lieutenants) barracked at Versailles, part of the military effort to save senior government officials in case of trouble. Your squadron is mounted on black horses, by the way.

     You feel that there are, besides the questions of legitimacy and the divine right of kings, possible dangers for France and other countries if the ancient nobility is extinguished. Specifically there exist an elaborate web of bargain, oaths, and traditions binding the rural peasants, the old nobility, and the fae. Your usual example:  some powerful Seelie (or Unseelie) court beast which agrees to stay in its cave or hole "so long as you and your descendants protect the town" or a similar fairy tale bargain.

     You of course speak excellent French, and accented English, Latin, Greek and German.

     An ancient castle represents your patrimony; it's mostly in ruins (with one inhabitable tower), on the edge of a faerie forest in the VendéeThe farm lands about were once family property before the revolution of 1789; one or two servants are in residence at the castle. More often, your home is a nice apartment in the faubourg Saint-Germain. You own a couple of black horses, several swords, cased dueling pistols, a Chamelot-Delvigne 11mm double-action Mle 1874 Revolver d'Officier, various uniforms, dress clothing, some books, and a flute. Your batman / manservant is Jean-Paul Therrien.
