# Bouzille — Fantômas character guide

> Bouzille in Fantômas by Pierre Souvestre.

**Role:** supporting

**First appearance:** 0000-i-the-genius-of-crime

## Snapshot

A market porter whose ordinary rounds make him one of Juve's quietest and most useful sets of eyes.

## Who they are

Bouzille moves through the market with the anonymity of a working man, exactly the kind of figure a detective needs when the criminal is a master of disguise. He is not a theorist of crime or a man of society; he is a pair of hands and a memory in the places where information actually changes hands. His usefulness to Juve lies precisely in how unremarkable he is — the opposite of Fantômas, and therefore the harder kind of asset to counterfeit.
