NPC Name: Valenin Étouffe Sex: Male Age: 51 Location: Port Royal Occupation: Marquis Handler: Anyone, but primarily Nadine Plot: He is the controlling and abusive step-father of Nadine and token self-righteous Frog. History: Enter Valentin, the self-proclaimed Marquis of Port Royal; no previous marriages and no legitimate sons or daughters to speak of, no father, no mother, no cousins or uncles or aunts. A lonely, greedy man in a world of unobtainable wealth. Theresa, not knowing that he was not legally a Marquis, decided to marry him, since he seemed to own a large plot of profitable land (being farmed for fruit by the natives of the island) and was charming enough. Little did she know that it was all a facade, a ruse to get into the duchy. Valentin had heard of Nadine through subtle rumors, and wished to exploit the girl's talent, to steal away her inheritance and leave her in ruin. You see, the large estate that he supposedly owned he had actually stolen from a Lord who had not been seen of or heard from in years, and of whom he had then had killed quietly. The poor chap had no family in the Caribbean so to speak, so Valentin's takeover went quite smoothly in his opinion. It was then that he had assumed the title of Marquis, which was a false title. Nadine after meeting him the first time did not understand how someone so stupid could be the Marquis of such a large and successful estate, but through much research after her mother and Valentin were married she discovered the truth about her step-father. Valentin should be explained as well. Yes, he is a stupid man, and not very apt to learn, either. He speaks little English and is subject to fits of jealousy and rage, in which he takes it out on the only person he holds power over, and the source of his jealousy; Nadine. You see, when Theresa remarried she asked Michel for documents to resign her title as Duchess, so that Nadine was the Duchess of Rhône. She also had Michel seal away James' will (something he said was very American of him to do), until Nadine was married, so that her husband would be able to help her daughter deal with the responsibilities of running such a large duchy. (Until then Michel and his business partners, who were loyal to the Brissot family as well as James, would run the Duchy and see to its affairs.) Valentin seemed to think otherwise, however, in that when Nadine was married she would also resign her title, lands, and money and leave it to the only other male member of her family, himself. But, despite his best wishes to see her married off, Nadine would not be married, nor would any man have her after she spoke with them. It was this, along with her fame which had followed her from France, as well as her higher status than him that made him exert his maximum force over her. He would lock her in her room, and never let her leave the estate unless it was to a very important social function, at which he always insisted to attend. (Theresa is often left to her own devices, since Valentin still believes her to be the Duchess, during which time she drinks and lies around thinking of James.) Images of Valentin: Portrayed by Vincent Cassel (yes, a real Frenchman!)   Permission given for others to RP: Sure, as long as you mention it to me somewhere that you're going to be using him. |
