Aramis

René Aramis is a Fictional Character in the novels '' The Three Musketeers '', '' Twenty Years After '' and '' The Vicomte De Bragelonne '' by Alexandre Dumas . He and the other two Musketeers Athos and Porthos are friends of the novel's protagonist, D'Artagnan .

Aramis is quite an exception among the musketeers since his as l' Abbé d'Herblay as well as Chevalier d'Herblay. In ''The Vicomte de Bragelonne'' he is known as the Bishop of Vannes, a title given to him by Nicolas Fouquet . When he comes back from exile, he is a Spanish Noble and known as Duke of Alameda.

Aramis loves intrigues and women, which fits well with prejudices of the time regarding Jesuits and abbots (before the French Revolution , abbots benefited the incomes of an abbey, but were not required to follow the monastery rules - which Aramis understands well).

The fictional Aramis is loosely based on the historical Musketeer Henri D'Aramitz whose name comes from the French village now named Aramits .
