Alphonse

Marquis Alphonse is an Orlesian noble.
== Background ==
Alphonse's family is not particularly powerful, though they hold respect. They are also very devout Andrastians. His aunt is the Vicomtesse of Mont-de-glace.
== Involvement ==
When the Inquisitor arrives at Vivienne's salon at the Ghislain Estate, Alphonse is already in attendance. As the Inquisitor chats with some nobles gathered in front of a fountain, Alphonse decides to make a scene, decrying the Inquisition as just another organisation out for power.
As he reaches for his sword to challenge the Inquisitor to a duel, the host of the party, Vivienne, freezes him in place with a spell. As she comes down the stairs, she asks the Inquisitor to decide his fate, as they are the offended party. The Inquisitor can either tell her to kill him, to let him go, or say they don't care; if the latter is chosen, Vivienne will let him leave, but not before embarrassing him. She comments that he's hurling insults like a Fereldan and remarks that his clothing was given to him by his aunt to attend the Grand Tourney in Markham, which he's participating in. She also points out the futility of his challenge to the Inquisitor, suggesting Alphonse wanted to die by the Inquisitor's sword to have a dignified death. 
Later on during a party banter between Cole and Vivienne, Cole interprets a previous meeting between Alphonse and Vivienne. During that meeting she overheard him gossip about her and Duke Bastien de Ghislain, saying: "I do hope Duke Bastien puts out the lights before he touches her. But then, she must disappear in the dark." He was trying to either make a comment on her looks or her dark skin or both, which hurt Vivienne's feelings. Cole also reveals that she provoked the marquis to make a scene at her party, where he met the Inquisitor, and staged Alphonse's outburst.
