André Rousseau

Background:

André’s formidable skills in battle were honed under the tutelage of Sir Pierre Leclair. Like Pierre and his fellow soldier Marc, André deserted the French military, rejecting its corrupt directives. Now a fugitive wanted for treason, he operates across Europe, deeply committed to the mercenary cause under Pierre’s command.

Personal Interests:

André dedicates himself entirely to his role as a mercenary, driven by a strong sense of justice and loyalty to his comrades.

Defining Quote:

“A soldier’s duty is to the truth, even if it brands us traitors.”

Key Relationships:

  • Sir Pierre Leclair:
    André looks up to Pierre not only as a leader but as a father figure who provided him
    with a purpose amidst chaos.
  • Marc Dufort:
    His trusted comrade, sharing the trials of life on the run and the bond of brotherhood.

Challenges and Conflicts:

André’s existence is shadowed by the dual threats of capture and the moral complexities of his assignments. His commitment to his mercenary life keeps him from pursuing personal happiness, constantly on edge from the threat of arrest due to his wanted status.
