    Antoine de Saint Arman

    Also known as St Arman

    In the cave beneath San Lazzaro, one robed man stands aside from the sacrifice, watching, with a ponytail showing beneath his hood.

    Part 5 · Anne’s trail

    Louis hears of him first from Gisèle and the hotel clerk: the ponytailed man who took room 315 with Anne. Christine calls him the master of the occult, who gave them freedom. Louis searches his apartment on Crimée Street, with its laser-guarded corridor, and finds he and Anne were watching Belleville.

    When Louis reaches him beneath the EXIT, Saint Arman tells him he and Anne were never lovers, only allies against Belleville; that Alex was one of his; that the sacrifice at San Lazzaro was staged; and that the “drugs” are simply tobacco, part of their ritual. Belleville sets the cave on fire. A shot from behind Louis kills Félicienne, and Saint Arman asks Belleville: “And that one, were you ready for it?”

    Walking through the flames with a gun in his hand, he gives Louis a painting: the key to escape.

    On the isle Louis relives the fire, and this time throws the painting into the flames.

    The doctors explain that he was the face of Starman, the ship’s computer, fighting Belleville for control of the simulation.

    Description

    Fade has no character list, so this description is the archive’s own, written from the game’s scripts.

    Antoine de Saint Arman · Age unknown

    A master of the occult with a long ponytail and a three-piece suit, the man Anne was seen with in Paris. His followers say he is everywhere and nowhere.

    Trivia

    • The game’s files call him “Starman” throughout, and Belleville calls him “my dear Starman” to his face.
    • The ship’s computer on the Damocles is also called Starman, and one of the two doctors who explain the ending looks like him.
