Who wouldn't want their own lackey? Hopefully we'll have more interest in the game in a little bit. Considering we had ~16 people vote for it in round 2 and 10 in round 3, I figure more will come.Velmont said:

Shayuri, I took yours out of this as an example.
Random Musketeer Idea Table (combine these as you please)
1: Driven by honour / revenge
2: An incorrigible womaniser
3: Irresistible to the ladies (plays funniest if one of the other characters, but not your character, picks (2) )
4: A poetic / artistic soul
5: Master of a hundred blade techniques
6: Constantly trying to outdo or upstage a rival (perhaps even another PC) in everything, from combat to love to random feats of skill (perhaps sometimes a skill that neither of them is really actually good at)
7: A simple military man who loves his king and country, sometimes considered a bit gruff or rustic by the others
8: Has a ladylove with whom he is engaged in a courtly romance--he is always trying to impress her and performing great feats in her name (and if a PC or NPC sullies her honour, look out!)
9: A foppish/bored/jaded noble
10: Has a big secret (perhaps a reformed convict under an assumed name like Jean Valjean or a peasant masquerading as a nobleman like in the movie A Knight's Tale)
11: Is under (and is probably trying to remove) an unusual Curse from a Witch (can be combined with the above, so perhaps the incorrigible womaniser is under a curse that turns him into a woman for a day every time he treats women as objects or tries to cop a feel, but he just can't help himself!)

You've already seen them--Witch, Swashbuckler, etc. It's the same setting as Shards of Memory with Valerie.Shayuri said:

Armand d'Angello checking in. This rogue of a noble doesn't steal for fortune or fame. He doesn't steal jewels and monies. He steals for love. His trade is stealing the hearts of woman. The more thrill and danger there is in the chase, the more enjoyment Armand d'Angello gets. A poetic (at least he tries to be) and knowledgeable man has a way with words.

One of the classics of the Dumas set of literature is the corrupt churchman. What do you think about...
Vassili Monteban was once a powerful man in the church, but power inevitably corrupts. Vassili became a cold, hard fist of the church. Where others might have provided compassion, he only provided judgement. It wasn't until an evil cabal within the church sought to recruit him that he noticed how far he had fallen. He has escaped their grasp, for now, and travels with the famed Rowaini Musketeers, in the hopes that the honor of these men might yet save his teetering soul.

Hmm...the corrupt churchman is indeed a staple, but that seems more fitting for an enemy, though your concept does have him redeeming himself before the game. Is your character not a Musketeer then but just travels with them? Dumas did have some characters too who were former churchpeople but went on to a completely different career (Milady DeWinter, for instance, goes from nun to Athos's wife to seductress/spy). Note that in Rowain there are members of the clergy who don't have divine powers and there are others who do, but those who do are typically humble monks (the actual Western monk, not the D&D monk) rather than gung-ho heroes (in game terms, they have Cloistered Clerics and such, but not any special gestalt-balanced classes for clergyman)--that said, nothing stops you from being a clergyman who has levels in non-divine classes (Richileu was a pretty good cardinal without any need for Bless or Spiritual Weaponpallandrome said:
