#5 - Jean-Pierre Guillot Savarin, The renowned Chef (Character played by F. S.)
Motto: La bonne cuisine est la base du véritable bonheur Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Relatives and Servants of the House - Nationality: French - Gender: Male - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: Character with a cumbersome personality and a role of authority among the servants, suitable for an active and extroverted player. His game focuses on tackling his own problems and on the theme of social ascent.
Teaser: The ancient and grandiose French gastronomic art had incomparable masters and illustrious geniuses, and Jean-Pierre Guillot Savarin prides himself on counting himself among them, indeed as being no less than destined to become the next Antoine Careme of this new age. He loves to call himself ''le petit tyran de la cuisine'' and it is precisely with the air of a demanding tyrant, arrogant and capricious, that he has guided many illustrious kitchens belonging to as many illustrious gentlemen of high society. They admire and court him with absolutely well-deserved adoration. Monsieur Guillot was never able to resist adulation nor to face criticism with a spirit of humility. To those who dare reproach him about the time when he took it into his head to open a fashionable restaurant - of which he suffered a colossal failure - it is his habit to answer irately that one who has been praised for one's art by no less than the highest priest of God can only smile at the mockery of a nobody. Whether he has indeed cooked for the Pope only he himself, His Holiness and our Holy Father know.
Relations: He shows deference and respect towards Derrick Gravehound, the butler, and Elizabeth Rush, the housekeeper. The rest of the servants are mostly lazy, incapable, unbearable in his eyes. Among them, the worst is certainly Lily, whom he has punished on several occasions. Lord Scarborough often goes to the kitchen to converse with him. He has only granted his service once to Madame Poisson La Ferté, henceforth he always declined any enquiry since he considers her events closer to confused merrymaking than to elegant parties worthy of his art. Monsignor Giulio Orazio Mattei has begun a discrete courtship to obtain his services, and the proposal certainly seems to merit careful consideration. He often questions Leo Vaughan about his references and with whom Leo has served in the past, as he does not seem to find his fellow countryman to his liking.
#9 - Candide Artoise, The devoted valet/waitress (Character played by M. M.)
Motto: There is an innocence of admiration: it occurs in one who has not yet realized that they might one day be admired. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: French - Gender: unisex - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: An intimate character with a game based on his own feelings and inner conflicts, but this won't exclude participating in investigative plots.
Teaser: The silvery and pale visage of the moon when it is illuminated by a blazing sun, the crystal of a mirror that reflects the face of beauty: this is how Candide feels next to ''Monsieur le Marquis''. What good fortune it is that has given the progeny of a washerwoman the fate of serving Guy de Maupassant, the famous writer, the sharp traveler, the man of extraordinary charm. And fate has given an even more generous gift to Candide, granting the chance to be a humble support for the great man, a silken rope thrown to help Monsieur when a dark chasm seemed to open beneath his noble steps. The servants Candide has accepted acquaintance with delight in the impeccable freshness of conversation, the sharpness of observations and the clear, yet sensitive lucidity with which Candide observes the world. These must have been the qualities with which Candide has won the benevolent friendship of Monsieur, some say, while others more pragmatically point out that a wise and witty gentleman chooses servants who are like mirrors, certainly capable, but only in reflecting the virtues of the master. Someone once dared to suggest to Candide, that Candide could now flex their own wings and fly far from the star. But how could that be possible? That it might be better to risk seeing one's wings melt from too much heat, than to be lost in solitude in the terrible darkness, that is in the end one's own judgment to make.
Relations: Candide serves Guy de Mausapassant, whom Candide always approaches with ecstatic admiration. Candide has shown that he knows Mary Shaw, whom Candide apparently met at the thermal baths. Candide scrutinizes the movements of Hector Schmitz. Scarlett Owen shows Candide great sympathy. Candide knows Jacques Palanche with whom Candide worked in the same house for a short time a few years ago, but there is no love lost between the two. Candide often likes to hear the talk between Arjuna and Judith Price about distant lands.
#10 - Jacques Palanche, The waiter with socialist ideas (Character played by E. B.)
Motto: Each of us alone is worth nothing. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: French - Gender: Male - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: An active character on the social front, suitable for an extroverted player who wants to give speeches, and who likes to be at the center of intrigues and machinations.
Teaser: Luggage, dishes, coats, tablecloths, candles, carriages, sheets, beverages. Every single moment in the life of your masters depends on you and those like you who toil and sweat and despair in domestic work. Is this justice? Is this equality? That the powerful of this earth cannot sew on a button or prepare a cup of tea without commanding to a servant? Waiters, washerwomen, cooks, grooms: look at yourselves! You are, in reality, the noblest and most powerful people in this world. You are the ones who move the world and make it turn, towards a destiny shaped by lords that have inherited power or stolen it, taking it from others who are not inferior, no less worthy. Well, is this equality? Is this justice? You are not just a madman, nor a dreamer: great philosophers have written of the same ideas that burn in your chest. No evening passes when you do not leaf through your Marx, finding once more the reflection of what you observe every day. But a man is useless alone, so why should you not spread the word to everyone, why not welcome everyone to join in the glorious effort and march together towards destiny? Not to destroy the masters, nor even to take their place, because you are not blinded by haughtiness or pride. Rather, it is for you to decide the direction in which to make the world move, the direction which destiny should take. You, cobblers, nurses, chimney sweeps, porters: you the strongest, you the purest, proud, free, united. Take what you deserve! You who are enslaved and divided: unite and be free. This is equality! This is justice!
Relations: He is in the service of Gaetano Osculati. A few years ago, he worked for a short time in the same house as Candide Artoise, but he does not have much esteem for that person. He discusses different topics of interest with Christopher Price. He admires the intellectual curiosity of Hector Schmidt with a certain envy, but he would like men like Schmidt to put their culture at the service of the class struggle. On the other hand, he does not need to convince Emilio Fiori who seems to be in tune with his ideas.
#14 - Leo Vaughan, The polished servant (Character played by Y. T.)
Motto: Savoir faire is the best master key that exists. Many more doors have been opened by a smile, a compliment or a perfect bow than have been opened with the sword. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: French - Gender: Male - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: Eclectic character, with many secrets, which may be his strength or his limit.
Teaser: A classy, educated and discreet servant is as rare to find as a purebred horse and, therefore, his value is also equivalent. In high society, among the people that counts, one is always looking for a valet who is more than a well-dressed peasant, someone able to move gracefully among the parlors, able to entertain the guest in conversation as well as become invisible when the situation requires it. And just like with a thoroughbred horse, whose healthy teeth, brightness of coat and constancy of step are evaluated, Leo Vaughan has been carefully examined too, first by the banker who with a keen eye enjoyed the pleasure of having made yet another good deal, and then by the usual guests of the Rubenstein house. Everyone seemed to agree that he was a fine specimen of that rare race: the servant of times gone by, so elegant, impeccable and pleasant that he is able to bring the titled and bourgeois of the new era together. Alongside his Master, he moves with silent steps past the rich golden plasterwork adorning the ballrooms; proud and attentive, he observes the beautiful world shining before his eyes, always quiet and attentive. Those eyes seem to observe everything, but show a depth that is difficult to probe and unveil; is it a secret delight that is seen in their enigmatic gaze or is it silent disapproval? Nothing seems casual in the carefully studied gestures and manners of this peculiar man. Only God knows what his path is and what lies behind his neat waistcoat
Relations: Servant of the famous banker Alphonse Raimbaud Rubenstein. Paul Torregrosa just met him, but has immediately shown admiration for him. One evening at a soiree, to which he escorted his master, he rescued the famous Charlotte Cotillard, who had fainted from a heatstroke. The house butler, Derrick Gravehound, is looking for a reason to criticize him, the Chef Jean-Pierre Guillot Savarin often asks him, where he is from and what his references are. He has been particularly kind to Christobel Gaulden, but she seems annoyed by this behaviour. He has also exchanged a few words with the Roman scion Giovan Battista Borghese when he visited his master.
#18 - Edmond Roncourt, The Monsignor's secretary (Character played by A. T.)
Motto: I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. Upstairs or Downstairs: Downstairs - Group: Servants of the Guests - Nationality: French - Gender: Male - Player's Age: Any age - Advices: This is a character with many secrets, which may be his strength or his limit.
Teaser: One day, Edmond entered the confessional of a church to cleanse his soul. When he came out, his life had changed. It is rare to see such a coldness in human eyes, as has always been in the eyes of Edmond. His eyes scrutinize the world with acute calmness, almost pondering each and every element. At some point of his existence, this ice began to be clouded by a vague and slight doubt. Very vague, very slight. It was at this point that he, not tolerating such misty uncertainty, entered that church. On leaving the sacred building, if somebody had observed him, they would have seen a new and different light in his eyes. Whatever the nature of that light was, it's hard to say. Perhaps the Almighty bestowed the grace of his forgiveness as a restorative rain. Or perhaps different, unexpected, far more human opportunities had opened up in front of Edmond that day. What is certain is that the priest, hidden in the darkness of the confessional, had found the right words to restore to fullness the never dormant vigor of a peculiar man. He carries himself with the pride of being the best in his profession - and the difficulty of having a very unusual one.
Relations: Secretary of the Bishop Monsignor Giulio Orazio Mattei, the two seem to understand each other with a glance. He seems to lose his composure only in the presence of Katrina Schneider, the maid of the German ambassador. However, it is with Christabel Goulden that he has been seen going off with. He has not hidden a slight disdain for Arjuna's exotic origins, and between the two there is a strong tension.
