Prince Charles LIV Bourbon

Lord of Verehaut, King of France, Duke of Anjou, Lion of Earth.

—His father, PRINCE CHARLES LIII BOURBON.

—His cousin, LORD AUGUSTIN BOURBON, Minister of War and member of the Lion Party.

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 Charles LIII, as Prince Charles LIV is listed as Augustin's cousin.
