Octavier Fleury's Links
vivi is yet another person who has entered octave's life and perhaps unknowingly put themselves in harm's way. is not a particularly reliable informant, out of protecting himself and this sweet and clumsy detective who has stumbled into his life and shown him genuine affection for the first time in too long
First introduced as a client, then a lead inspector in a police investigation involving Octavier, Vivien is completely enamored with him despite what should be a purely -ahem- professional relationship.
santiago's mom. tiago is a bit like a 2 year old getting himself into trouble every time octave turns his back, but he loves him very much and will always take care of him. he is especially protective of santiago when it comes to affairs concerning beauclerc, and has definitely put himself out there (not to tiago's knowledge) to keep him out of harm's way. of course, octave does not resent him for this and would do it a million times before he let santiago get hurt
MY MOM
emile is perhaps one of his most ornery children, but is loved nontheless. at the very least, emile hasn't stirred up any trouble with beauclerc (yet), and for that, octavier is thankful.
emile is not a particularly sentimental guy, but if it came down to it, he would do most anything for octavier. octavier is his senior at the brothel and while guillaume took care of him in a financial sense, octave was ultimately the one who showed him compassion and took him under his wing (where baby emile could be found biting and scratching in protest). octave is important to him, though it's not often that he says/shows it
his boss, but first and foremost his lover, for better or for worse. the intimacy of their romance has faded over the years, but octavier is very grateful for all that guillaume has given him and done for him, and feels a certain obligation to him (though that is not to say that he does not love him)
has complex feelings about the man he knows he should loathe, but years of being in love with his abuser have him in a chokehold still. however, he knows that beauclerc is dangerous and the last thing he wants is for anyone else to end up tangled up with him the way that he was, and goes through great lengths to protect at-risk parties (his lovers and friends always seem to find away to wind up on beauclerc's radar and this is very stressful for octave).
a beautiful and easily manipulated piece of ass
finds her terrifying, honestly, and knows better than to step on her toes. their interaction is kept to a minimum.
absolutely loathes him. she has been here longer than him, and he replaced her as head courtesan while he still was one. wildly jealous of his youth and his beauty, perhaps as well as of his relationship w guillaume.
