9	!!Antoine Claude Jacquouillet
10	[[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00000_000001_copie1_4.jpg]]
11	!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/ChristianClavier
12	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''The Corridors of Time'' \| ''Bastille Day''
13
14	Jacquouille's descendant at the time of the French Revolution. He is a Public Accuser, which means he can prosecute any person he deems an enemy of the Republic, and puts them on trial at the Revolutionary Tribunal. He is first seen accompanying [[UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte General Bonaparte]] at the end of ''The Corridors of Time''.
15	----
16	* TheDreaded: One of the revolutionary soldiers mentions him as "the terrible Jacquouillet" at the end of ''The Corridors of Time''. Turns out himself is afraid of Robespierre.
17	* EatTheRich: He makes a living from confiscating the refractory nobility's properties for himsel... err, the Convention, and has no pity sending nobles to the [[OffWithHisHead guillotine]].
18	* HangingJudge: Implied by his Public Accuser status.
19	* IdenticalGrandson: Looks very much like his medieval ancestor Jacquouille. So much so that Charlotte Robespierre thinks Jacquouille is his uncle.
20	* MeaningfulRename: The members of the Committee of Public Safety find his name "Jacquouillet" a bit ridiculous for his incoming speech at the Convention, and advise him to change it. [[StableTimeLoop Godefroy then drops the name "Jacquart"]] as a suggestion.
21	* NouveauRiche: 18th century version of the trope, in ''Bastille Day''. He is a bourgeois who climbed the social ladder of the new revolutionary order, and he has the power to confiscate the nobility's properties, keeping a good chunk of wealth for himself.
22	* ReignOfTerror: He is a Public Accuser working for the Revolutionary Tribunal and threatens to torture Godefroy and Jacquouille before sending them to the guillotine.

25	[[folder:Adélaïde]]
26	!!Countess Marie Adélaïde de Montmirail
27	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laterreurph19_1457712841_copie_0.jpg]]
28	!!!'''Played by:''' Karine Viard
29	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''Bastille Day''
30
31	A noblewoman of the Montmirail lineage. Her husband has been beheaded and she seeks to flee to Austria.
32	----
33	* ArrangedMarriage: The main giveaway is the fact that she isn't mourning her recently beheaded husband.
34	* BlueBlood: She's part of the Montmirail lineage.
35	* HeavySleeper: When Jacquouille whistles to have her stop snoring like a bear, it doesn't work. Then he has the idea to use a pillow...
36	* ImpracticallyFancyOutfit: Her inflatable wig is not very practical to get into a coach.
37	* LotsOfLuggage: Her whole wardrobe, a ton of books and a harpsichord are her "necessities" when the Montmirail family has to leave the castle.
38	* {{Malaproper}}: She keeps calling the Dutch Duke "Henri" instead of "Hendrix".
39	* ProperLady: A well-mannered 18th noblewoman, though she's not above using curse words.
40	* SimpleYetOpulent: She is never seen wearing anything else than dresses. Even when she has to hide her nobility to stay alive.
41	[[/folder]]
42
43	[[folder:Gonzague]]
44	!!Gonzague Malefète, Count of Montmirail
45	[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00000_000001_00_20.jpg]]
46	!!!'''Played by:''' Franck Dubosc
47	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''Bastille Day''
48
49	Godefroy's late 18th century descendant. He's a deputy at the Convention, and he calls himself "Citizen Gonzague Malefète" to conceal his aristocratic origins.
50	----
51	* BlueBlood: A member of the Montmirail lineage though, as a Convention deputy, he takes several decisions against the nobility, such as sharing property of the lands with peasants and overall embraces the revolutionary ideals. Or maybe he embraced the Revolution's ideals [[DirtyCoward just to save his head]].
52	* TheCasanova: He seduces a very attractive theatre actress.
53	* ContinuityNod: He was mentioned by Béatrice in the first film as she told Godefroy about the Montmirail family's history since Middle Ages, and Godefroy found a painting of him in one of the château's rooms. He eventually appeared in ''Bastille Day''.
54	* TheDandy: In stark contrast with his rough and uncouth 12th century ancestor.
55	* DoomedByCanon: As we learn in the first film, Robespierre had him beheaded. In ''Bastille Day'', before leaving him, Godefroy gives him an important advice, knowing that he will be beheaded: he must ensure that the Montmirail lineage will not be extinct. Gonzague escapes the soldiers coming for him at the end, so whether he will escape his fate or not remains to be seen.

58	[[folder:Lorenzo]]
59	!!Lorenzo Baldini, Marquis of Portofino
60	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/01_copie_8.png]]

65	----
66	* AmusingInjuries: [[ShotInTheAss His butt is grazed by a musket shot]], which sends him hopping and screaming.
67	* AnachronismStew: At some point, like Robert, he is seen [[http://www.cinetelerevue.be/images/ary-abittan-visiteurs-3-dr.jpg wearing]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incroyables_and_Merveilleuses Incroyable-style]] clothes. This fashion wouldn't appear until 1795, following the end of the ReignOfTerror.
68	* BlueBlood: He is from a cousin branch to the Montmirail family. He's first seen imprisoned with other nobles at Issoudun, waiting to be [[OffWithHisHead guillotined]].
69	* TheDandy: Speaks, acts and looks like your typical 18th century dandy.
70	* InSeriesNickname: At one point, he is proud to tell Godefroy about his father-in-law who held a candle while king UsefulNotes/LouisXV took a dump after waking up, with all the court watching[[note]]it was a genuine ritual for the courtiers to follow the king from his bed to the throne room, including seeing him on the shitter. That ritual started under the reign of UsefulNotes/LouisXIV, it was followed by Louis XV as well and was eventually abandoned by Louis XVI[[/note]]. Godefroy and Jacquouille then nickname him "Ass-Wiper".
71	* TheLoad: He's this to Godefroy and Jacquouille when they escape the prison at Issoudun, though they keep him along so he can bring them to the château of Montmirail.
72	* LovableCoward: Godefroy calls him and the other nobles out for not standing for the Crown of France. Moreover, he follows Godefroy and Jacquouille around without bravery during the evasion so they can protect him.
73	* PainToTheAss: His butt gets grazed by a musket shot and jumps around due to the pain.
74	[[/folder]]
75
76	[[folder:Robert]]

85	* BlueBlood: He is part of the Montmirail lineage.
86	* CaptainObvious: "When you heat using horse dung, you smell like shit."
87	* TheFatalist: He has a very fatalistic view of how the Revolution is turning for the family, and thinks nothing can help them.
88	* SignatureHeadgear: He wears a [[http://www.chapellerie-traclet.com/15922-large/chapeau-girondin.jpg Girondin hat]].
89	* SurroundedByIdiots: How he feels about his family when it's time to flee. It doesn't get any better once Godefroy and Jacquouille enter the picture.

95	!!!'''Played by:''' Creator/SylvieTestud
96	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''Bastille Day''
97
98	The sister of Maximilien Robespierre.
99	----
100	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: She is loosely based on [[https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_de_Robespierre Maximilien Robespierre's real life sister]].
101	* InsistentTerminology: Advices Jacquouille to not use "Hosanna!" but "Hourra!" instead, because "it's more secular".
102	* LoveInterest: She is Jacquouillet's girlfriend.
103	* NouveauRiche: 18th century version. She comes from the bourgeoisie that arose during the Revolution against the "Ancien Régime" that was dominated by royalty, aristocracy and the Church.
104	[[/folder]]
105
106	[[folder:Robespierre]]
107	!![[UsefulNotes/MaximilienRobespierre Maximilien Marie Isidore de Robespierre]]

109	!!!'''Played by:''' Nicolas Vaude
110	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''Bastille Day''
111
112	The leader of the powerful Committee of Public Safety, and one of the most influential figures of the UsefulNotes/FrenchRevolution and the [[ReignOfTerror Terror]].
113	----
114	* BringHimToMe: Orders Jacquouillet to bring the two escapees (Godefroy and Jacquouille) to him.
115	* TheComicallySerious: The character could well be placed in a serious historical drama with no need to modify his persona. He happens to be in a comedy.
116	* TheDreaded: Even Jacquouillet visibly sweats in his presence.
117	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[UsefulNotes/MaximilienRobespierre Naturally]].
118	* TheMagnificent: His historical surname, "the Incorruptible".
119	* PottyEmergency: He has one after eating the boudin Philibert cooked for him.
120	* ReignOfTerror: The historical symbol of it. The film doesn't really take the "restoring his reputation" route [[note]](and predictably caused a flaming debate for this reason)[[/note]] but doesn't make him a bloodthirsty tyrant either.
121	* YoungerThanTheyLook: Nicolas Vaude was 54 years old, twenty years older than Robespierre was in early 1793.
122	[[/folder]]
123
124	[[folder:Prune]]
125	!!Prune
126	[[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1_36.jpg]]
127	!!!'''Played by:''' Marie-Anne Chazel

131	----
132	* FieryRedhead: Much like her descendant, she has quite a temper.
133	* LoveInterest: She has a relationship with Philibert.
134	* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Marie-Anne Chazel played Ginette in the first two films, and her ancestor Prune in ''Bastille Day''.

138	!!Philibert

141	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''Bastille Day''
142
143	A soldier of the Garde Nationale from the French West Indies and a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sans-culottes sans-culottes]]. He is in a relationship with Prune.
144	----
145	* CrazyJealousGuy: As Jacquouille tries to seduce Prune at some point.
146	* LethalChef: The boudin he cooked apparently messes with Robespierre's guts.
147	* RunningGag: Jacquouille calls a black man "Saracen" once more.
148	* WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: The fact that Prune is in a relationship with him doesn't go unnoticed for everyone, Jacquouille especially.
149	[[/folder]]

154	!!!'''Played by:''' Christian Hecq
155	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''Bastille Day''
156
157	The famous polemicist and journalist of the newspaper 'L'Ami du Peuple'.
158	----
159	* ButtMonkey: He is the victim of Jacquouille's clumsiness on two occasions. And the head of his statue gets smashed. By Jacquouille, again.
160	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[UsefulNotes/TheFrenchRevolutionMajorFigures Of Course]].
161	[[/folder]]

166	!!!'''Played by:''' Frédérique Bel
167	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''Bastille Day''
168
169	A theatre actress, and Gonzague's mistress.
170	----
171	* AnachronismStew: She wears a First Empire style robe. Such fashion didn't exist before the early 1800s, certainly not in 1793.
172	* HeadTurningBeauty: She's basically there to trigger comments on her nice butt when she has to leave Gonzague's apartment in the middle of the night, especially from Jacquouille.
173	* LoveInterest: Of Gonzague.
174	* MsFanservice: She has the most revealing outfits out of all the cast for a reason.

177	[[folder:Collot d'Herbois]]
178	!!Jean-Marie Collot d'Herbois
179	[[quoteright:270:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/00000_000001_03_copie2_17.jpg]]
180	!!!'''Played by:''' Lorànt Deutsch
181	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''Bastille Day''
182
183	A member of the Committee of Public Safety.
184	----
185	* ArtisticLicenseHistory: He is seen reciting poetry he wrote to celebrate Robespierre. In reality, Robespierre and Collot d'Herbois barely tolerated each other, and since each member of the Committee was equal and Robespierre was personally quite humble, there was no need for trading poems. While Collot d'Herbois was an actor and playwright and therefore perfectly capable of dropping a dithyramb or two, it's unlikely he'd ever do it for the Incorruptible.
186	* BoundAndGagged: Once he has revealed the location of the Mother of God to Godefroy, Godefroy and Jacquouille leave him bound, gagged and suspended in a well.
187	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Very loosely based on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Marie_Collot_d%27Herbois real Collot d'Herbois]].
188	* ProfessionalButtKisser: Writes very laudatory poetry to celebrate Robespierre.

194	!!!'''Played by:''' Éric De Staercke
195	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''Bastille Day''
196
197	A Dutch noble who offers his help to Adélaïde de Montmirail and her family.
198	----
199	* AnachronismStew: He wears Louis XV style clothes (1750s-1770s) and a wig of the same era. Those were completely out of fashion for at least 25 years by 1793, and would actually get him suspected and killed in no time during the ReignOfTerror.
200	* KavorkaMan: He is quite unattractive but manages to seduce Adélaïde.
201	* RomancingTheWidow: Seduces Adélaïde mere days after her husband's death.

210
211	A mysterious seer/oracle who can see through time. Collot d'Herbois is known to consult her. Godefroy and Jacquouille come to her to find a way to return to their time.
212	----
213	* DarkIsNotEvil: She is very secretive, looks and sounds intimidating and there's a thunderstorm when her WillingChanneler power manifests, but all she does is providing the advices Godefroy and Jacquouille need to return to their time.
214	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: She is loosely based on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Théot Catherine Théot]].
215	* TheOmniscient: As soon as she sees them, she knows who Godefroy and Jacquouille are and what era they come from.
216	* PowerFloats: Her chair lifts itself in the air when she becomes a WillingChanneler for Norah.
217	* {{Seers}}: She can see through time.
218	* WillingChanneler: Her face temporarily turns into Norah's face so Norah can talk to Godefroy and Jacquouille through time, telling them where Eusaebius' 18th century descendant is so they can find him and come back to the Middle Ages. Her face also turns into that of King Louis VI, to warn them of his orders.

222	!!Eusèbe

224	!!!'''Portrayed by:''' Alexandre von Sivers
225	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''Bastille Day''
226
227	An apothecary, and a 18th century descendant of Eusaebius.
228	----
229	* JumpedAtTheCall: He helps Godefroy and Jacquouille from second one as they enter his shop, desperately looking for the potion to travel in time before dying. He also follows them in time, having no choice to escape the revolutionary soldiers.
230	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: The time travel potion was seemingly not ready ''again'' (probably because he didn't have time to add enough viper venom in the hurry), and it sends Godefroy, Jacquouille and him in the middle of World War II.]]
231	* SecretKeeper: Just as his 20th century descendant, he is the keeper of Eusaebius' formulas, which are transmitted from father to son.

234	[[folder:Bonaparte]]
235	!!UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte

237	!!!'''Played by:''' Laurent Natrella
238	!!!'''Appears in:''' ''The Corridors of Time''
239
240	A general in the French Republic's army.
241	----
242	* AnachronismStew: Jacquouillet refers to him as "General". The end of ''The Corridors of Time'' most certainly happens in late 1792 (Brunswick's army is mentioned by the fleeing nobles, this army attacked the French Republic's army at Valmy on 20 September 1792), and King UsefulNotes/LouisXVI's beheading happened on 21 January 1793 (it is mentioned at the beginning of ''Bastille Day''). Napoleon got promoted as General in December 1793. Besides, he didn't take part to the battle at Valmy.
243	* ArtisticLicenseHistory: He's seen in the vicinity of the battle of Valmy in September 1792, while he didn't take part to it in RealLife. He also says [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazare_Hoche Hoche]] is "waiting for his orders", which at the time wouldn't have been possible.
244	* HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte Natch]].
245	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He is introduced at the end of ''The Corridors of Time'' but doesn't appear in ''Bastille Day''. RealLife history provides a good reason, as Napoleon was not in mainland France (where ''Bastille Day'' happens) by the time of Louis XVI's beheading. He was commanding a volunteers battalion in his native UsefulNotes/{{Corsica}} between October 1792 and June 1793 (by which time Godefroy and Jacquouille have already {{time travel}}led to another era).
246	* YoungFutureFamousPeople: He's 23 and not yet famous in 1792.
