On these pages, explore the many incarnations of those intrepid musketeers: Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'Artagnan.
The truth	Athos, Comte de la Fère, was a musketeer named Armand de Sillègue d'Athos d'Autevielle who died shortly after D'Artagnan would have met him. Aramis, Chevalier René d'Herblay, was a musketeer named Henri d'Aramitz and was probably at most an acquaintance of D'Artagnan's. Porthos, Baron du Vallon de Bracieux de Pierrefonds, was in real life Isaac de Portau, who served with D'Artagnan in the Guards and, for a time, in the Musketeers. Captain Jean D'Artagnan was in truth Charles de Batz-Castelmore, Comte d'Artagnan. The musketeers' great friendship was almost certainly invention, as were almost all their adventures.
Does it matter?	In that other universe where a writer's talent and a reader's love bring life, Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'Artagnan will always be young, dashing and inseparable.
