Description
A retired French military officer in his fifties, friendly and sociable, who served under Napoleon’s Armée d’Orient during the Egyptian expedition and chose to remain in Alexandria after the Emperor’s exile. He has made a life as a merchant in the Frank Quarter, and holds court easily in the common room of the Locanda del Leone.
Background
One of the Frenchmen left behind by history — a soldier of the 1798–1801 Egyptian campaign who stayed when the army left, married Egypt’s commerce instead of marching home. Two decades in the country have made him a deep well of practical knowledge about travel, officials, and the routes inland.
Connections
- Met at the Locanda del Leone (Session 3). Gave Adrien the key travel intelligence for the journey to Cairo (see GM Notes).
- Name-dropped reputable Nile boatmen — the soft lead toward Reis Ibrahim at Rosetta.
