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