Jean Danjou (1828 – 1863) was a decorated captain of the Foreign Legion in the French Army.[1]

Biography

On 30 April 1863, Danjou's unit, which had been participating in the Second French intervention in Mexico,[1] was ambushed by the Mexican army. Danjou had his men take up positions in a nearby hacienda to defend themselves against the soldiers, and despite being greatly outnumbered with 65 legionnaires against 2000 soldiers, they resisted for over a day. Danjou died in the battle, and the few survivors were taken prisoners, with the exception of drummer Casimir Lai, who managed to escape.[2]

Jean Danjou's prosthetic hand was recovered by a Mexican citizen after the battle and later purchased by the French government and taken to Aubagne, where it has since been kept as a relic in the Foreign Legion Museum.[2]

Behind the scenes

Jean Danjou is implied to be an Assassin, with the Le Secret de Camerone app deliberately pointing out that one of the fingers in his prosthetic hand is missing.
