* A baldric features prominently in Chapter 4 of Alexandre Dumas, père's The Three Musketeers, in which D ' Artagnan has his nearly-disastrous first encounters with Porthos ( who is wearing one ), Aramis, and Athos.

One of four males born in a litter of English Beagles, Porthos and his brothers, Athos, Aramis and d ' Artagnan, were named after characters from The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, père.

D ' Artagnan is not one of the musketeers of the title ; those are his friends Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, inseparable friends who live by the motto " all for one, one for all " (" un pour tous, tous pour un "), a motto which is first put forth by d ' Artagnan.

It was in this book, he said, that d ' Artagnan relates his first visit to M. de Tréville, captain of the Musketeers, where in the antechamber he met three young men with the names Athos, Porthos and Aramis.

After entering Paris and speaking with Monsieur de Treville, he suffers misadventure and is challenged to a duel by each of three musketeers ( Athos, Aramis and Porthos ).

From de Tréville's window, d ' Artagnan sees Rochefort passing in the street below and rushes out of the building to confront him, but in doing so he separately causes offense to three of the Musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, who each demand satisfaction ; D ' Artagnan must duel each of them in turn that afternoon.

The next morning, Athos, in search of a quiet place to talk, makes a bet that he, d ' Artagnan, Porthos and Aramis, and their servants, Grimaud, Planchet, Mosqueton, and Bazin, can hold the St. Gervais bastion ( captured by des Essarts ' company shortly beforehand ) for an hour.

He takes it to Athos, Porthos and Aramis in turn, but each refuses it, proclaiming d ' Artagnan the more worthy man.

Aramis retires to a monastery, Porthos marries his wealthy mistress, and Athos serves in the Musketeers under D ' Artagnan until 1631, when Athos retires to his mansion in the countryside.

He and the other two musketeers Athos and Aramis are friends of the novel's protagonist, d ' Artagnan ( see D ' Artagnan Romances ).

Athos himself almost drowns in this struggle as well causing Aramis, Porthos, and D ' Artagnan to lament his death for a few moments before he resurfaces.

D ' Artagnan is initially portrayed by Dumas as a hotheaded youth, and tries to engage the Comte de Rochefort and the three musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis in single combat.

Athos and Raoul meet Aramis and Porthos who relate their predicament before receiving horses to aid their journey to Belle Isle.

Athos, the Comte de la Fère, had returned to his estate near Blois ; Porthos, Monsieur du Vallon, had married a lawyer's widow ; and Aramis became a priest, the Abbé d ' Herblay.

In Paris, Athos visits Madame de Chevreuse, the former mistress of Aramis, with whom, under the name Marie Michon, Aramis had much communication in The Three Musketeers.

After a race against time, and having defeated several adversaries along the way, Porthos and d ' Artagnan find themselves in the dark, surrounded, with swords crossed against adversaries equal to them, who are revealed to be Athos and Aramis.

At the same time, Queen Henrietta of England meets the Musketeers ' old English friend, Lord de Winter-a Royalist come to ask for French assistance for King Charles I of England, her husband, in the English Civil War, and sends Athos and Aramis to England as well.

So once again the two pairs of Musketeers find themselves on opposite sides: but Athos and Aramis, on the occasion of departing, are recognised by Mordaunt, who has been following Lord de Winter in the hope of finding his friends.

Aramis and Athos reach Paris only to find out that their friends haven't.

Athos asks for nothing: Aramis asks for concessions towards himself and his friends in the Fronde.

D ' Artagnan stays in Paris with Mazarin and Queen Anne, Athos returns to la Fère, Aramis returns to his abbey in Noisy le Sec, and Porthos to his barony and castle.

He quickly befriends three musketeers ( Porthos, Athos and Aramis ) and falls in love with Juliette, a maid-in-waiting for Queen Anne of Austria.

Athos ' few natural resources and extreme isolation are probably the main reason why the founding fathers settled on the planet in the first place, a decision most citizens are apparently thankful for.

However, few people are interested in Athos or its inhabitants due to its isolation and insulation from the rest of the galaxy, its non-stragetic placement, and it's mostly agrarian economy.

They assume-correctly-that Athos means Raoul de Bragelonne, officially his ward and adopted son ( in fact Raoul is Athos's natural illegitimate son, product of a one-night stand, as we have learned earlier in the novel: this is the first time that the other Musketeers are actually told that Athos is indeed Raoul's real father, although D ' Artagnan may have suspected it earlier.
