Clothing:
This man wears only the most expensive and extravagant clothing...making sure to keep the emblem of The Emperor, the colours of The Musketeers, and the sigil of the Reines Family on him at all times. When this man enters a room, people take notice...for better or for worse.
The Rois et Reines du Rogne family has served the Emperor faithfully for years and no other noble house is more loyal to his Imperial Majesty than the noble House Rois et Reines du Rogne. Led by its wise and vigilant matriarch, Therese Rois et Reines du Rogne, the House has come to great standing and even commands the awesome power of the Emperor’s finest: The Musketeers. This is the noble family that Jean Francois Rois et Reines du Rogne was born in and belongs to.
Francois, which is the name he goes by, has not only had the luck to be born into this great family but has also had the good fortune of becoming one of Therese’s favorite, most beloved relatives. From his early childhood, he was handpicked by Therese herself to attend exceptional schools specializing in the art of warfare, leadership, and nobility. His love for Therese, loyalty to his house, and, most important of all, zealous fanaticism in the Emperor has led Therese to see him like her own son. As expected of him, he joined the Musketeer order as soon as he was of age and excelled in every mission assigned to him. He quickly rose to become one of the highest ranked musketeers in the order, answering only to his cousins (one who is the Captain of the Order), his matriarch, and his Emperor.
Montaigne has currently found itself in a war that it did not start but intends to finish. The unholy zealots to the south attacked the just and honorable Emperor for exercising his divine right to rule. For this, the empire will see that they drown in their blood. This won’t be hard to accomplish. Montaigne occupies more than a third of their country, the Inquisition openly attacks its own citizens, and the Castillians are led by a puppet king. All one needs to do is grab those strings and the rest of the country will follow suit.
This is the perfect opportunity for Francois to pursue his dream of finding and wedding the beautiful yet rebellious Ysabette Montaigne and tie his family closer to the Emperor’s. This won’t be easy though. Ysabette is…independent, stubborn, and unruly. But this will not stop Francois. He knows that another union with the Montaigne family will almost certainly guarantee the favoritism of the Emperor himself and might even link both families permanently.
Rumors are that Ysabette has become a pirate and forsaken her land, family, and father. Though her crimes are punishable by death, her royal blood forever pardons her and Francois is with hope that she can be brought back into the fold. With Therese’s blessing, Francois is to find the Emperor’s daughter, make sure she is unharmed and return her to the safety of the capital…and if it so happens that she comes back as a Reines, then even better.
Not long ago, while questioning a prisoner, Francois received the break that he had longed for…a witness as to how and where Ysabette traveled when she fled from Montaigne. This information has been kept confidential and only his cousin, the Captain of the Musketeers, and Therese, their Matriarch, know these facts. Information is dangerous…especially in these days. If the other families suspect anything, they may attempt to challenge the superiority of the Reines or even try to taint their relationship with the Emperor. This cannot happen! Francois must do this alone. The Musketeers will stay in Montaigne and keep the peace...one way or the other.
In order to find Ysabette, Francois must leave his beloved Montaigne and travel to the city of Altamira and track down this witness: a woman who owns a store that is used as a front for illegal activity. Altamira is currently held by the Castillians but with patience, skill, and the influence of men such as Francois, this city will soon be part of the glorious empire. Though Francois has been advised against attracting attention to himself (a task almost harder than finding Ysabette herself) he has been granted the authority of “any means necessary”.
Francois has never failed. He doesn’t know how to fail. He doesn’t know the meaning of the word failure. Perchance this is exactly why he was chosen for this mission. Ysabette’s life is paramount…even more important than Francois’s…and he knows this. He will not allow himself to go back without her and if she dies…well…that won’t happen. Francois will fight for her to the death…to him there is no greater glory than that. Francois has always been a warrior and a soldier. He learned how to die a long time ago.
