| - Rocambole is an adventurer and crime fighter who started out on the wrong side of the law. An orphan, Rocambole was adopted by the wily crone, Maman Fipart. As a young man, he used his resourcefulness to assist the evil Andrea de Felipone (a.k.a. Sir Williams) in his fight against Andrea's half-brother, the Comte de Kergaz. Louise Charmet, a.k.a. Baccarat, is a courtesan with a heart of gold and a fearless temper who finds himself at odds with Rocambole and Sir Williams. Rocambole eventually takes over and kills Sir Williams, but his evil schemes are again thwarted by Baccarat, and he ends up imprisoned in the hard labor camp of Toulon (the same where Jean Valjean was imprisoned in Les Misérables.) After escaping from Toulon, Rocambole redeems himself and finds a new calling as a true hero. He travels to India and masters the mystic skills of the East. After gathering a team of loyal and talented assistants, Rocambole becomes something of a mastermind, operating from the shadows and pulling strings from behind the scenes.
