Marshal the Prince de Wissembourg is another of the French old guard, associated with Napoleon and his illustrious days as Emperor. De Wissembourg is Baron Hulot's superior at the War Office. The Marshal is a powerful ally to have and Hulot enjoys the fruits of this friendship for a good many years. However, de Wissembourg steps in and puts a stop to Hector's hi-jinx when the Algeria scandal is uncovered. The Prince de Wissembourg, much like Hector's older brother the Comte de Forzheim, believes in upholding one's honor and one's good family name. De Wissembourg is influential in the French government and it is clear that he has covered up Hector's mistakes once too often. The Marshal the Prince de Wissembourg also has special feelings toward Adeline because of what the Baron has put her through. He leaves Hector to his own devices after leaving the War Office, but de Wissembourg restores the family's dignity by giving Victorin Hulot 200,000 francs, which came from Victorin's uncle, Marshal Hulot the Comte de Forzheim.
