De Guerre

Baron De Guerre was a wealthy Frenchman with all the right connections. He had served as a soldier and returned as a hero from the Crimean War and was commended in a letter by Napolean III (the former ruler of France). As a man of great statue and influence the Doctor was surprised to find him assisting Inspector DuPont in the investigation concerning the Vampire in Paris 1895, and living in the bohemian quarters of the city instead of an apartment in the posh Place Vendome area, for which he held title deeds. The Doctor was right to be suspicious. De Guerre, was one of the vampires first victims, having been turned to bones. Varlos who had arrived around the same time, assumed his identity.(TDL: The Vampire of Paris
