- ―The Marquis de Sade, 1791.[src]
Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade (2 June 1740 – 2 December 1814), commonly known as the Marquis de Sade, was a French aristocrat, revolutionary politician, philosopher and author famous for his libertine sexuality. He also became the new Roi des Thunes, after the former bearer of the title was assassinated by Arno Dorian in 1791. De Sade was a proponent of extreme freedom, unrestrained by morality, religion or law.
He had been held prisoner in the Bastille for several years, but was transferred to another prison shortly before angry Parisians stormed the stronghold. Three years later, as Arno and Élise de la Serre hunted the Grand Master and Sage François-Thomas Germain, the pair enlisted de Sade's knowledge of the Parisian underground to track Germain's movements.[1]
Trivia
