Porthos

Porthos, Baron du Vallon de Bracieux de Pierrefonds is a fictional character and the secondary tritagonist in the novels The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After and The Vicomte de Bragelonne by Alexandre Dumas, père. 
Porthos is a highly fictionalized version of the historical musketeer Isaac de Porthau.
==The Three Musketeers==
Porthos befriends d'Artagnan after they and Athos and Aramis best the Cardinal's men. At the time of The Three Musketeers (ca. 1627) he apparently has few lands or other resources to draw from. He is finally able to extract sufficient funds from an elderly lawyer's somewhat younger wife (whom he was romancing and later married) to equip himself for the Siege of La Rochelle.
The fictional Porthos is very loosely based on the historical musketeer Isaac de Porthau.
