One of the deadliest swordsmen in all of Théah, Rémy de Montaigne is the personal bodyguard to L’Empereur of Montaigne, who is his cousin. Remy is rated a master in four schools of fencing and is known to have studied at least two more. He also commands the Lightning Guard, L’Empereur’s personal guards.
The heroes met him in Barcino at one of Governor don Marcao Ontivarès de Ochoa's receptions. They stayed well away.
Unfortunately, they could no longer do so when they returned to Montaigne on a diplomatic mission, and found him directly in their path. He obstructed their attempts to have the Dauphin renounce any claim on the now-vacant throne of Castille, and set a trap for them when they attempted to rescue Private Jérôme from prison and execution. He is also believed to have directed the assault on Vaticine City which killed Good King Sandoval, and to have personally slain Don Andrès de Béjarano y Aldana, all on the command of the Empereur. Lucas saw him execute Impératrice Morella when she said she could not help Empereur Léon against the rebellion.
