Character List

Planchet d'Artagnan's servant. He is ultimately the sharpest of the servants and serves his master well on many dangerous occasions. Unlike d'Artagnan, Planchet is prudent, but still exhibits moments of great courage and ingenuity. Planchet is able to make a long and dangerous trip to England by himself, and at the end of the novel, he is rewarded for his daring and made a sergeant in the guards.

Grimaud Athos's servant. Because his master is mannerly and rather reticent, Grimaud is also rather reserved. One of the comic incidents in the novel focuses on Athos's forbidding Grimaud to speak unless it is an absolute emergency. A dignified silence passes between them, and thus Grimaud upholds the quiet nobility of his master.

Bazin Aramis's servant. Because Aramis is planning to enter the priesthood, it is only fitting that Bazin should also contemplate a future devoted to the religious life. His utmost desire is to be the servant of a high church official. Bazin believes that Aramis is capable of attaining the rank of cardinal.

Mousqueton Porthos's servant. Like his master, Mousqueton is the most knowledgeable about worldly things. For example, when his master is wounded and is confined to an inn with no money, Mousqueton is able to poach some choice wild game and fish, and he is extremely clever about Western-style roping, a talent he puts to good use when his master needs wine. Cunningly, Mousqueton lassos bottles of wine like an expert and hauls them back to Porthos.
