French Captain (illustrated by Kai Martin)

In Thermidor (published in Fables And Reflections) Louis-Antoine St. Just and Maximilien Robespierre are trying to recover the head of Orpheus for their own political gains and in hopes of destroying all “magic” from the world, bringing about an age of reason.

This Captain in the French army is tasked with finding the Orpheus and ransacks Johanna Constantine’s room trying to discover where she has hidden it. When they cannot locate it, he threatens her with the guillotine.

When Louis-Antoine St. Just arrives he repremands the captain for his treatment of their prisoner. The captain, apologizes and promises that the search for the head of Orpheus will continue.

He appears in Sandman # 29, on page 6, in panel 6-7.
