The Marshal has a stellar reputation as a military man and he is highly respected in many different circles in Paris. Mostly, the Comte de Forzheim is known for his sense of justice and what is right. Marshal Hulot is a close associate of the Marshal Prince de Wissembourg. Marshal Hulot dies just three days after re-paying the French Treasury the 200,000 francs Hector's Algerian scheme netted.
