Honoré Lechasseur

Honoré Lechasseur was a time sensitive detective who could also physically travel along people's timelines when working with a time channeller, such as his friend Emily Blandish.

Biography
Honoré Lechasseur was an American from New Orleans, Louisiana, who came to Europe whilst serving in the US Army during World War II. His platoon were moving through France when they became lost and ended up in Belgium and found a farmhouse that had recently been abandoned by German soldiers. The group settled down to enjoy a stash of alcohol that had been left behind, and Honoré's Lieutenant began to play a piano: the piano had been booby trapped with explosives, and the Lieutenant was killed.

Honoré suffered physical injuries in the explosion and was informed by Army medics that he would never walk again. He also suffered psychological injuries from the trauma, made worse by the knowledge that of his entire platoon, Honoré was the only other person who could play the piano and so if it had not been his lieutenant who had been killed, it might well have been Honoré himself. He was moved to hospital in England in 1943, where he began to recover the use of his legs. During this period, he also began to develop an ability to see people's pasts and futures that he later learnt was called time sensitivity.

Whilst still in hospital, Honoré was treated by a small bearded Scottish doctor (possibly the Doctor in his seventh incarnation in disguise, although it is unclear) who helped him recover to a certain degree. Honoré then left the hospital and relocated to Shoreditch in London, where he began working as a black market "spiv" – although he preferred the term "fixer".

In 1949, Honoré was hired by a woman posing as Emily Blandish to find her "husband", the Doctor. During the course of his investigations, Honoré met a young amnesiac woman dubbed "the girl in the pink pyjamas" by the press, and together they help save the Cabinet of Light (in actuality, the Doctor's TARDIS) from a Nazi cult desperate to possess it for their own ends. He also helped the girl to remember her real name: Emily Blandish. (TN: The Cabinet of Light)

Following this adventure, Emily and Honoré kept in touch and built a strong, platonic relationship. It was not until they both happened to spot the same man at the same time and wonder where he had come from, however, that they realised that Emily was a time sensitive. They both travelled forwards in time to an alternative 1984, where they spent time trying to work out how to get back to their own tim. Ultimately they did, whilst also ensuring that the future they had witnessed never came about. (THN: The Winning Side)

Honoré and Emily eventually came to understand how they had travelled through time, and became so practised at it that they could soon travel at will to a chosen date and time. They faced various adventures together, during which they fought the Fendahl (THN: Deus Le Volt) and gained the enmity of a mysterious time travelling cult.

Personality
Honoré was moral – he prided himself on never having swindled any of his customers – who developed from struggling to understand and live with his abilities, to embracing them through his platonic relationship with Emily Blandish. Through his career with her, he progressed from using alcohol on a regular basis as a "painkiller", to eventually becoming a teetotaler.
