D'Artagnan "The Musketeers" (BBC) Wikia 

Skip to Content Skip to Wiki Navigation Skip to Site Navigation

Although still young (Around 17-20), D\'Artagnan has seen enough of the world to despise its corruption and compromise. Only Athos can match his exceptional skill with a sword. Athletic and determined, he is also intensely romantic, with a moving capacity for true love. In time D\'Artagnan will go on to be the greatest Musketeer of them all and a legend in his own lifetime.

While travelling to Paris, D\'Artagnan and his father, Alexandre d\'Artagnan, came to rest in an inn on the road. While taking their horses into the stable, the inn was attacked by musketeers, who shot his father. D\'Artagnan survived, but vowed revenge on the one supposedly responsible for his father\'s death: Athos. After travelling to Paris alone, he stayed overnight in a local tavern where he met a beautiful woman. After spending the night with the woman, he awoke to find a bloodied knife stabbed into the pillow and he heard a scream from a nearby room where Raul Mendoza had been murdered. He was forced to escape and was chased into the marketplace. He stopped next to a young female in the street in order to kiss her, hoping that he would not be recognised. He wasn\'t caught, however, he received a scolding from the girl, Constance. Despite his forwardness, she agreed to hide him in her husband, Bonacieux\'s house.

The following morning, D\'Artagnan paid an immediate visit to the Musketeer\'s home. There, he searched for a man name Athos, and after finding him, pointed a musket at him. Despite Athos\' friends pleas to protect him, D\'Artagnan was too overwhelmed by loss to listen.

D\'Artagnan\'s behaviour is often portrayed to be similar to a stroppy teenager despite it being assumed that he is in his twenties (or about to enter them) as series 1 begins. He is often hot-headed, reckless and impulsive which often puts him in danger. Despite this D\'Artagnan is extremely loyal to his friends and those he is close to.

D\'Artagnan\'s father is killed at the beginning of the series and information about his mother is not given. It is unknown whether he has siblings. He becomes firm friends with the Musketeers after they help him find the man responsible for his father\'s death, after joining the Musketeer ranks they become as brothers to D\'Artagnan. After staying at her house for some time D\'Artagnan falls in love with the beautiful, and very married, Constance Bonacieux. Constance is also in love with D\'Artagnan and what attracts him to her is more than her beauty, he is also attracted to her wit and intellect and her fiery nature which is most like his own.

D\'Artagnan is an exceptionally skilled swordsman. He is rather agile, possessing natural cunning and a talent for tenacity. Athos is perhaps the only Musketeer to be able to match D\'Artagnan\'s exceptional swordsmanship, according to the offical BBC Musketeer page, and D\'Artagnan is able to overpower Vadim in their confrontation.
