    Victor Amadeus, also known as the Duke of Savoy, was a very important politician in France.

    During an honorary visit to Paris, the Duke was almost killed by the assassin, Marsac, before he was rushed into the Louvre palace to safety. Angered by the attack, the Duke informed King Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu that he would not sign the treaty bringing Savoy and France together until the culprit was captured.

Embarrassed, he agreed to the Cardinal's terms and returned to the palace. Still in doubt, the Duke finally agreed to sign the treaty that bound France and Savoy together.

    The Duke was generally a very suspicious man, who was predominantly paranoid that his political position was in jeopardy. Deep-routedly, he has a loathing for France and his principality's affiliation with the country. This ultimately motivates him to believe that France and King Louis were responsible for Chancellor Cluzet's disappearance. He even...
