Porthos - BBC Musketeers Wiki 

Skip to Content Skip to Wiki Navigation Skip to Site Navigation

Porthos is one of the main characters of The Musketeers. He is played by Howard Charles.

Raised in desperate poverty and triumphing over every kind of adversity, Porthos has finally found his true family in the Musketeers. Intensely loyal to his friends and a natural fighter, he is the go-to guy for hand-to-hand combat and the man you always want on your side in a fight. Self-educated, as quick in thought as he is in action, Porthos has a lively sense of humour but is not a man to cross.

Porthos was playing a card game with Dujon when Athos arrived inside a local bar. When Dujon lost, he suspected that he would react badly. He decided they would honour the code and fight like gentlemen. Porthos succeeded despite only wielding a kitchen fork, but was surprised to see that Athos had knocked Dujon on the head with a bottle. He explained that they needed to see Treville immediately. Eager on taking his winnings with him, Porthos tried to collect his money, but he was stopped by his friend.

Looking for Aramis, they found him hanging out of Cardinal Richelieu\'s residence.
