# Octave — 813 character guide

> Octave in 813 by Maurice Leblanc.

**Role:** supporting

**First appearance:** 0011-x-lupin-s-great-scheme

## Snapshot

A young man in Lupin's service, shadowing his master through the strange affair at the ruined palace, where every gesture and gold coin seems to mean something.

## Who they are

Octave belongs to the small circle of attendants who follow Lupin into the crumbling Renaissance palace and the tense interview with the Emperor. His role is quiet but constant: he is the pair of hands and eyes that Lupin can rely on while others, like Isilda, communicate only in riddles. He matters because the early mystery depends on patient observation, and Octave embodies the disciplined, unglamorous work behind Lupin's flashes of insight.
