Text Message Bio"d'Artagnan is a young, impoverished, hot-headed, Gascon nobleman who leaves home to make his fortune. In April 1626, at the age of 20, he comes to Paris to fulfill his greatest dream: become a musketeer. On his way, he has an argument with a mysterious man wearing a black cape and bearing a scar on his face. Later, he realizes that the man has stolen his recommendation letter for M. de Treville, the captain of the musketeers.
In Paris, d'Artagnan goes to visit M. de Treville, but without the letter, he is received very coldly. The same day, due to his pride, d'Artagnan is challenged to duel by three musketeers: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, who happen to be very close friends. The four men meet and d'Artagnan prepares to fight Athos. They are interrupted by some of the Cardinal's guards, who threaten to arrest them, for duels were forbidden by law. The three musketeers and d'Artagnan fight the guards and defeat them. This way, the young Gascon earns the grace of M. de Treville and the friendship of Athos, Porthos and Aramis, and he becomes a soldier in the Royal Guard."
The youngest of the group, D'Artagnan is brash, loyal, brave, romantic, dashing and naive. He enjoys dueling and wants to be the captain of the Musketeers someday. He is brave, noble, ambitious, crafty, and intelligent. Like any Romantic hero, he is driven by love and ruled by chivalry, but occasionally prone to fall into amoral behavior.
"A young man--we can sketch his portrait at a dash. Imagine to yourself a Don Quixote of eighteen; a Don Quixote without his corselet, without his coat of mail, without his cuisses; a Don Quixote clothed in a woolen doublet, the blue color of which had faded into a nameless shade between lees of wine and a heavenly azure; face long and brown; high cheek bones, a sign of sagacity; the maxillary muscles enormously developed, an infallible sign by which a Gascon may always be detected, even without his cap--and our young man wore a cap set off with a sort of feather; the eye open and intelligent; the nose hooked, but finely chiseled. Too big for a youth, too small for a grown man, an experienced eye might have taken him for a farmer’s son upon a journey had it not been for the long sword which, dangling from a leather baldric, hit against the calves of its owner as he walked, and against the rough side of his steed when he was on horseback."
"Dumas emphasizes a certain "Gascon hot-headedness" that the hero seems to possess. D'Artagnan is proud--he comes from a noble background, but he is a provincial, and is thus uncultured in the ways of the Court and politics. He is also very, very poor. Dumas paints, initially, a somewhat comic portrayal of the young man as a proud, insecure swaggerer who seems prone to interpret every look as an insult, and every insult as an invitation to a duel."
