After his host reads a troubling letter, this character tries to flatter him by asking about the genealogies of the best families in Burgundy. His death is foreshadowed when he finds a piece of paper that details the execution of man whose name is an anagram of his own. His fall off a horse while riding with Comte Norbert, the Marquis' son, and a fight at a café near a seminary in Besancon indicate his provincial upbringing. His viewing of a "bird of prey" alludes to his admiration of Napoleon, and while buying boots, this character's mentor, Pirard, warns him against becoming a Parisian fop. He is forbidden to marry Mathilde after it is revealed that he had an affair with the wife of the mayor of Verrieres. Finally executed for shooting Madame de Renal, for 10 points, name this protagonist of The Red and the Black.
