Lucien Grimaud is the main antagonist of the third and final season of BBC's The Musketeers. He is the Musketeers' most deadliest opponent they have encountered and is especially Athos' mortal enemy.
Official Description[]
Raised amidst the horror of war, Grimaud has been brutalised to such an extent that nothing but rage and chaos fit his twisted psychology. Violence is always the answer.
But Grimaud’s no mere thug; his razor-sharp intellect has seen him rise from the gutter to become Paris’ most prolific underworld financier and an indispensable ally to corrupt Governor Feron in their war against the Musketeers. As his dark star rises, will Grimaud need his aristocratic patrons as much as they need him?
Grimaud understands broken people. He exploits the Musketeers’ weaknesses and preys on their worst fears, making him an insidious and unpredictable new kind of enemy.
Grimaud is neither vengeful like Rochefort nor political like the Cardinal; he believes in nothing and loves no one. It makes him the loneliest man on earth – but also the most dangerous.[1]
The Musketeers[]
As a child, Lucien Grimaud was born to a woman named Juliette. However, she tried to drown him until Lucien was nursed back to health by another woman who formed a maternal bond with Lucien. He later grew up to be a deadly killer and was messed up at his mother's attempt to murder him and war waged on France.
In the series finale, Athos and d'Artagnan confront Grimaud, who easily overpowers D'Artagnan and slashes his cheek. Seeing D'Artagnan wounded, Athos stopped him to confront Grimaud alone. During a small skirmish, Athos gains the upper hand and able to drown Grimaud. When d'Artagnan sees Athos next to Grimaud's body, Athos tells his friend that the bloodshed is finally done.
