Lord Augustin Bourbon
Minister of War and member of the Lion Party. Son of the disgraced PRINCE PHILIPPE BOURBON, who attempted to usurp the rights of his late brother, PRINCE LOUIS LIV.
—SIR LORCAN BREATHNACH, patrician, Director of the Legion Intelligence Office.
—SIR FRIEDRICH OBERLIN, a junior functionary in the Legion Intelligence Office and possible member of the Halfmortal mystery cult.
—SIR GRAY RINEHART, a logothete in the Legion Intelligence Office.
How Bourbon could manage to be so exalted a palatine and yet so corpulent was a mystery, yet corpulent he was: as round of body as he was of face, with thick sideburns and a thicker mustache that recalled some species of walrus or manatee such as swam in the royal aquaria. He was a man of evil reputation, treacherous and venal. I’d heard it said that Augustin had sold out his own father, Philippe, when House Bourbon turned against itself centuries ago, backing his uncle—Prince Charles LIV*—for the throne.
*Per the Dramatis Personae, the text should reference Prince Louis LIV, as Prince Charles LIV is listed as Augustin's cousin.
