Nicolas Court
Nicolas Court was a French Hermeticist in the 18th century and a distant relative of Antoine Court, leader of the Huguenots.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Around 1745, Court was living in Louisbourg, where he was studying the mythology of the natives of the New World. John de la Tour, Achilles Davenport and his future wife Abigail traveled undercover to Louisbourg, searching for Court's safehouse and any information relating to First Civilization sites.[1]
In May 1745, after de la Tour sacrificed himself during the British invasion of the fort, Achilles and Abigail finally found the safehouse, but there was no trace of Court. The only clue left behind by the Hermeticist was a note saying: "SEEK OUT THE SKY WOMAN".[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Nicolas Court being a Hermeticist may be a reference to the that fact that his supposed relative Antoine Court had a son, also named Antoine Court, who was an occultist who popularized the idea connecting tarot cards with ancient Egyptian esoterism.
