* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Widimer is best known for the number of times he has failed as the least competent minion of Cardinal Richelieu. However, in his debut episode, he pulls off a successful FrameUp plan by having one of his guards to commit robberies while being disguised as Porthos. The plan falls apart only because Aramis finds and catches the impostor. Before the impostor can be made to talk, however, Widimer kills him by just shooting him. He also takes aim at Porthos, and while Dogtanian pushes him out of the way, the Musketeer's shoulder is injured for the two following episodes. In the eight episode, Widimer attempts to shoot in the back Porthos who's busy fighting his men, and since he can't hear Dogtanian's warning over the sounds of battle, Dogtanian must take direct action to save Porthos. He's also the one who proposes Cardinal Richelieu that [[spoiler:they poison Dogtanian]] in the last episode. There must be a reason how Widimer has managed to become the captain of Cardinal Richelieu's guard in the first place.

* AbsurdlySharpBlade / ArtisticLicensePhysics / ImplausibleFencingPowers: In the intro Dogtanian tosses an apple into the air with the point of his sword and cuts through it eight times while it inexplicably hovers in the air unaffected by gravity and catches it on the point of his sword seemingly intact. He then blows on it and it becomes a shower of over fifty wafer thin slices that float down to the floor. So somehow Dogtanian is able to use a rapier (a type of sword that doesn't even have an ''edge''!) to slice through an apple, while it hovers in the air for no legitmate reason, using a number of cuts insufficient to make that many slices, to a degree of accuracy that permits each slice to be light and thin enough to float down in the air rather than falling to the ground normally, in such a way that the apple retains it's overall structure until he blows on it. Right...
