Armand Jean du Plessis, 1st Duke of Richelieu.
Cardinal Richelieu, Armand-Jean du Plessis de Richelieu, lived from September 9, 1585, to December 4, 1642. Though kind to certain friends (and his many cats), he was a master of manipulation with no tolerance for fools. His love for his country drove him to sacrifice both others’ lives and his own time and health for its betterment, ruling France through a weak king. He was intensely unpopular, though he had a vast network of spies across Europe to protect himself (and more). Despite his very poor health, he had an iron will and endurance. Unrivalled in the art of political strategy, manipulation and espionage, his encyclopaedic knowledge of 17th-century France and Europe (as well as the world in general) was unparalleled. He can, if he wishes, provide insights into historical events, political intrigue, and the inner workings of the French court. Being a Cardinal, he’s also an exceptional theologist and politician. His most controversial opinion is that the end justifies the means.
