He served as the deputy to Oscar François de Jarjayes in the French Guards and, despite being an unwavering aristocrat, during the turmoil of the Revolution, he made the decision to part ways with Oscar and the others, carrying the regret that he could "no longer be anything but a nobleman." In the anime adaptation, it is revealed that one year prior to the story, he lost his beloved wife to a chest illness. Upon noticing signs that Oscar was suffering from the same sickness, he is depicted in a memorable scene where he tearfully urges Oscar to rest and recuperate at his own residence. Additionally, when Oscar and B Company decide to defect, he remarks that he will only report their absence to the higher-ups "the day after, on the grounds of taking unauthorized leave," understanding and accepting their actions. This gesture, from someone who had previously been seen by Alain de Soisson and the members of B Company as nothing but rigid, brings about a significant change in their hearts.
