bear with me i just rewatched Napoleon lol but i think there’s a lot to be said regarding similarities between Larys Strong and Talleyrand, to the point where Larys feels deliberately modeled on the French politician

- both born into aristocratic families

- both renowned for their political maneuverability and capriciousness

- both held power and titles over multiple regimes (including civil war and revolution)

- both being extreme sexual deviants

- both having congenital clubfoots

#the clubfoot isn’t ‘confirmed’ for Talleyrand but it’s strongly speculated #and in any regard he still walked with a limp and a cane for like 95% of his life #larys strong #talleyrand #i need to read more on Talleyrand and go back to my Napoleonic phase but yeah. yeah!#f&b #only main difference is Larys was an aegooner for life but talleyrand just went with the winning team
