Bazin

Also known as: Father Bazin / M. Bazin / Monsieur Bazin · Family: Church · Role: beadle · First appears: Chapter 6

In chapter 6, Bazin is the beadle at Notre Dame and serves as Aramis’s employer, sought because he may know where his master is. In chapter 7, he and D’Artagnan part as friends; after Friquet says, “He is gone to Noisy,” Bazin sets off on horseback for Noisy at a full trot.

By chapter 27, Bazin has patronized Friquet and is the only attendant of Athos, while in chapter 42 he seizes a broomstick and beats Blaisois. In chapter 44, Friquet obtains a holiday from him, and in chapter 75 Planchet is described as the former comrade of Mousqueton, Bazin, and Grimaud. In chapter 88, Aramis stipulates that Bazin officiate at a ceremony; in chapter 89, Friquet connects him with Monsieur Maillard, who gives holy water at Saint Eustache.
