The Return of the Musketeers

Milady’s daughter, Justine is a calculating operative who uses disguises and manipulation to pursue her mother’s legacy. She captures and questions the musketeers’ hired executioner, and, learning that d’Artagnan was behind the hit, she executes him. Her schemes include disguising herself as a priest, plotting against monarchs, and escaping after her plans are thwarted.

A weathered musketeer with a wary eye on the bigger political game, Athos is Raoul’s father and a veteran of past battles. He wavers between loyalty to the crown and allegiance to his friends, and his actions help Beaufort slip away. His leadership and experience bind the group even as personal tensions rise.

The boisterous, physically formidable musketeer, Porthos embodies loyalty and bravado. He faces dismissal when the group fails to capture Beaufort, yet his strength and humor keep the team cohesive. He ultimately rides with the others toward a renewed, united front.

A musketeer with a blend of swordcraft and spiritual guidance, Aramis balances faith and factional warfare. He sustains the trio’s cohesion during betrayals and returns to reduce the rift within the group. His skill with a blade and his measured judgement keep plans on track.

Athos’s son, Raoul is torn between filial loyalty and the Musketeers’ mission. He pursues Justine and reveals his true allegiance through actions that test his resolve. His impulsiveness contrasts with his father’s caution, driving key confrontations.

A calculating antagonist who survives past encounters and pursues his own ends. He reveals d’Artagnan’s identity to Justine, stoking the vendetta, and later meets his demise when the ship explodes during a sabotage attempt. His scheming encapsulates the film’s political menace.

The king targeted by Justine’s plots, Louis XIV embodies royal authority in the film’s England-France crossfire. The musketeers intervene to thwart attempts on his life, and his presence anchors the political stakes of the climactic conflict. His safety hinges on the musketeers’ ability to outmaneuver their enemies.
