Hermès Bouchard

Hermès Bouchard was a member of the prolific industrialist Bouchard family, husband of Marie-Hélène Bouchard, and owner of the armaments manufacturer Compagnie Générale Bouchard. He was accused by V. M. Straka to have orchestrated the massacre of the Calais Riot. He was rarely seen in public after the death of his wife in 1912, though the Compagnie continued to thrive, flourishing during World War I by supplying the French and German governments at the same time.

He is the basis for Wineblood in Wineblood's Mine and Edvar Vevoda V in Ship of Theseus.
