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.

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.

His final words: " Athos, Porthos, au revoir!

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.

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.

Athos and Aramis are captured by d ' Artagnan and Porthos, who are fighting alongside Mordaunt and Cromwell's troops.

As soon as they can have a conversation, Athos talks d ' Artagnan and Porthos into helping save Charles I.

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.

d ' Artagnan arrives at the Ruins for his first duel and, much to his surprise, Athos, Porthos and Aramis reveal themselves as musketeers.

At the execution, d ' Artagnan is saved by Porthos and Aramis, and the three make a getaway in the Cardinal's personal coach, driven by Athos.
