Quotes
Dimitri Bessano
A bastard son of a Viscount and a courtesan, Dimitri is highly educated but generally has two goals in life, the first to find the perfect wife the second to generally show up most of the nobility for the asses they truly are. Also, make life difficult for the Vendel and add new verses to his song about what you should do with them.

|
"I don't remember going to sleep here. It must have been a good night." |

| Charles de Paix (Musketeer guard of Monique) – "I demand you explain yourself." |
| Dimitri (stepping in) – "My friend conjectured your charge to be a prostitute; I however will gladly say so openly." |
| Dimitri talking to his Cousin Portia about love. |
| Portia - I do not know if what I feel for Niccolo is this 'romantic love' or am I simply falling prey to lust. |

| Dimitri takes out one of his indulgences stolen from the last Heirophant: "I've got a pardon for that!" |
| Portia looks horrified and hurriedly crosses herself again - "Dimitri!" |
