Andre Saint-Pasquet, native of Rennes, where the family chateau was located. The fourth son, he was not entitled due to anything through primogeniture so he studied Archeology at Université Rennes 2. His elder brother fought and died at the start of the Great War, which he was spared, much to his embarrassment, due to his deformed left foot and lower leg. The family were rich enough to move in higher circles of society and Andre fits in quite well making several high profile friends, among them Julien Faure, personal secretary of Sebastien Dupont, the wealthy industrialist. You went to Université Rennes 2 with Julien Faure for a few years and formed a friendship with him that has endured, despite some years spent apart since Julien left to take his position with Dupont.

Jean-Luc Coté

Age: 51

Jean-luc was always his mother's favourite. Pushed from the very young age to better himself. His mother supported him with books and got quite a collection back at the farm. All hidden from his father of course. "Science and learning is not something God wants people to be interested in. This life is but a passing moment." he would say. Jean-luc moved out at the earliest opportunity. He devoted his life to science. He's convinced that superstition and dogma are the downfall of humanity. Sees the current war as an immense waste of resources and opportunities.

Scientist (leaning towards astrophysicist).

François Du Monte


François en vacance in Italy 1912

Age: 48

François is not your typical professor. Never a bookish child Francois always preferred the life outdoors he excelled at sports both on the track and the field as well as in ring where he boxed for school and later college. From late summer to early febuary he can be found walking the countryside with the local Chasses in Normandy & Sologne, all within a couple of hours from Paris. He also rides with the "Chasse à Courre" when time allows. Having devoted his life to sport only his natural ability with languages and his fathers contacts saved him from a life in the military or the church. Despite this, his constant absence 'due to illness', which always seem to coincide with the start of hunting season will probably result in his losing his job at some point.

(Bad) Professor of Languages.

Drive: Adventure

Pillars of sanity
If you never lose then you can never appreciate the victories.
A true man of character knows his limitations – but doesn't accept them


Sources of stability
- Pierre Du Mar, Head of the Chasse du Sul, Pierre is drawn to the outdoors in the quiet of the forests he finds peace from the turmoil of modern life he finds walks in the woods with Pierre allows him to restore a sense of balance.
- Michael Ormoulin, his boxing coach a no nonsense old man, who provides an ear whenever Francois beats the heavy bag.
