Name: Aramis Door: n/a - Submissive per previous Designation Canon: BBC Musketeers Canon Point: Season 3 Episode 6 (start of) Age: mid to late 30's Appearance: here History: https://bbcs-the-musketeers.fandom.com/wiki/Aramis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Musketeers_episodes Aramis will be returning with his memories. 1. He was here almost three months, so personality wise, he hadn't really changed. He had an understanding of the place and it's requirements. 2. He arrived June 2024 until December 2025. He found that D'Artagnan had remained and that Aramis himself had been gone for some time. He reconnected with a few other people that he had briefly met, although Eloise Bridgerton would have the biggest impact on him. They bantered as he arrived, which was during the rain that melted attire, and contacted after. He gained employment as an errand boy of sorts, delivering orders to people, and dragged D'Artagnan around, trying to help his friend get out of his dark mood. They made various bets, with Aramis winning the gun shooting but D'Artagnan winning the next. He got into a minor scuffle to assist Jim Kirk and made some more friends. Chased crabs around the beach and went to a seafood boil. He not so happily drank some cursed French wine (for shame! at least curse the horrible Spanish wine) and happily drank not cursed wine. Wore a swim suit, which arguably has some benefits and wore a more modern suit which he was not overly thrilled at. Overall, he sort of settled into a daily life with an ease that he had back home. Grew closer to Eloise. Ended up being her partner with the punishment that she received. Started to get genuine affections towards her. Two fellow companions and Musketeers arrived, much to his joy and dismay, although Aramis was from behind everyone else, so did not understand Porthos' reaction to seeing him. He will now. Oops. Personality: Compassionate: Aramis is compassionate not because he is a gentle soul, but because he feels deeply. He starts the season at a monastery caring for the children left orphaned. While his own upbringing was slightly different, he does understand what they are feeling. He offers a steady and guiding role, telling stories but not admitting of his own part. He eases and assists, bring a semblance of stability in their war-torn times. He prioritizes the well-being of others over his own desires, even when that choice costs him. It is clearest in his handling of Queen Anne and their child. He pushes down his claim, his affection, and any future with them to protect Anne from political ruin and the child from danger. The fallout from the Queen’s pregnancy weighs heavily on Aramis. He believes that others are suffering because of his actions and feelings. It is clear that he still has feelings for Anne and his son, but he distances himself, and his compassion in that is his own suffering so as not to bring further harm. Earlier in the season, he urges restraint when violence would be easier, and advocating mercy toward enemies once they are no longer a threat. When confronting enemies tied to larger political parties, he’s more inclined to argue for sparing lives if it prevents further bloodshed or needless cruelty. He empathizes before he judges. He listens to civilians and prisoners and reminds others that there is a person beneath the crime that may have been committed. His interactions with people caught between the King and the Red Guards show this. He asks why they acted and not just what they did. Aramis is not above showing mercy or restraint, even forgiveness, when others might not agree. He also did not desire to shoot poor Serena... the horse. When others are hurt, he takes it personally and that guilt remains with him. He loves deeply and still carries his past with him even if he has moved on. He tries to assist Polly and still carries Adele within him. There is that part of him that never stops hoping that people can be better. Disobedient: As Aramis said, he had no issues with poverty or even celibacy but could never master obedience during his time in the monastery and this is a trait of his that he has always struggled with before and after. He has a difficulty with listening to authority when it goes against what it is that he believes in. For that, he has a tendency towards making impulsive decisions that sometimes create even more problems than they solve. He doesn't always adhere to orders or strategy but often does act according to his own instincts or emotions. While tempered in some ways over his years, there is sill that stubbornness. It can put a strain on the team dynamics when Aramis goes against the mission. When sent to retrieve missions jewels, Aramis does break way to assist a friend, Pauline. Despite the orders being given, he does ask whether they truly require all of them to track them down. He further goes against orders as it turns out Pauline does have one of the stolen items. Aramis puts himself between Pauline and his friends, saying that he hates following orders. His impulsiveness do sometimes force his fellow Musketeers to adapt as they go when Aramis goes wayward. It isn't something that is done on the fly but rooted in his own morals. He trusts them over the rigidness of the structured authority, which can be corrupt at times. While he trusts his fellow Musketeers, there are often other powers at play. Restless: At the end of Season 2, Aramis had come to the conclusion about where his fate was to lead. He believed that God had showed him the way and Aramis was happy to follow it. Yet, it is clear that Aramis is still restless and has inner conflicts stemming from that. He balances between his spiritual side and his fighter side. He had been at a monastery for four years, serving and contemplating a life in the service of God. Even after four years though he had not entirely settled in. As noted, he hadn't fully committed, still trimming his beard like a well tended garden. He had convinces himself of the spiritual necessity and looks at it as a withdrawal to his holy duty. Yet all it took to rock that was the arrival of three familiar faces. After assisting them, he admits as he prays to God, that he has felt closer to Him in the heat of battle than he had in those four years at the monastery. So he returns back to being a Musketeer. It doesn't mean that he immediately settles back in. Time has passed and they have all changed. Who he was before he joined no longer exists and there is a disconnect that he seeks to rectify. That internal struggle to find himself isn't immediately settled, shifting between duty, personal desires, and guilt. It makes him unsettled at times, pulling him in different directions and not as sturdy of a teammate as he could be. Avoidant: Throughout season 3, Aramis withholds his feelings from Anne, albeit with just cause as she is Queen and he a Musketeer, never fully expressing what he wants. When confronted with the permanence of their separation, he accepts it quietly. He keeps those deepest conflicts buried within him. When Athos touches upon the subject, Aramis deflects or reshapes it into another subject, not discussing it further but sidestepping it. Duty. He is, in some regards, the same man he had been, and yet also quite different. He is functional, still having that touch of charm, but he has also grown and learned from past mistakes. He holds that burden within so as not to be selfish as he had been with sleeping with the Queen in the first place. It is less about his feelings and more about what should be done as a Musketeer. His choices are requirements. Vulnerability is gone. It seems to be more akin to a shell that protects himself. While he does flirt a little with Sylvie, he avoids deeper emotional intimacy. This pattern echoes behaviour from earlier, such as his path toward the priesthood in prior seasons, leaving others to infer his pain rather than hear it. He has returned, but the four years away have shifted him just as much as his fellow Musketeers. There is an acceptance of the consequences of his previous actions. He might allow his eyes to linger upon his son or Anne, but he keeps that distance. Even with things ending as they had at the end of season 2, there is still a stigma and Aramis is more than aware of his role in events, seeking to lean hard on his teachings of God. It is sincere, but it this also works as an emotional shield. By placing his suffering in that frame, he avoids engaging with it as personal loss. Powers and Abilities: Aramis has nothing supernatural but only abilities that anyone can learn- although perhaps not as well as him. He is a proficient fighter with a sword, an excellent horseman and skilled in hand to hand combat. He is also an exceptional marksman and has very good aim. He has some abilities when it comes to medical skills, such as sewing up a wound (although it would pale to modern technology) and is a romantic. He has a charming air about him that aids him in various situations, especially when they need to speak to people. Aside from French, he is also fluent in Spanish.
