**Emmanuel Albert Frédéric Louis Édouard Guillaume Augustus Renaud Gramont de Éteignière-Dubois** is a character in Murder Mystery 29: Théâtre-Corbignois.

#### Brief Overview

In MM29, Emmanuel was one of the members of the royal family that was visiting the theatre. However, Emmanuel does not like the theatre and managed to avoid the entire play from start to finish. Throughout the game, he stayed close to his sisters Beatrice Gramont de Vallon and Brigitte Gramont de Éteignière-Dubois. Despite hating the theatre and trying to avoid every aspect of it, over the course of the game he developed romantic feelings for actor Rubis Clément, who was coincedentally also the murderer.

Emmanuel's relationship with Rubis began on night one, when he accidentally stumbled into Rubis' dressing room. Their relationship quickly began to blossom over the next few days due to the two of them bonding over Rubis' plays. After Saphir Clément's death, they went to pretend to rehearse a scene in one of Rubis' plays, which ended with the two of them sharing a kiss. However, Rubis broke things off after saying that their relationship was probably just a result of the high-stress situation they were in.

Throughout the game, Emmanuel had many fights with his family, the first of which being with Beatrice. She told him that she wanted him to settle down and marry a woman, even though she knew Emmanuel was gay. He also fought with Alexandre Gramont de Éteignière-Dubois and Brigette, in a fight that ended with him outing Brigette to Alexandre out of rage. He immedietly regretted that decision, and avoided Beatrice and Brigette the rest of the game because of it.

#### Personality

Emmanuel is selfish and impulsive. He likes to do things first and is a very adventurous person, often luring his friends and siblings into his endeavors, even if they object. He's very polite to everyone he meets because he believes that everyone is equal, even if his siblings don't agree. He's never really come to terms with the fact that he's gay, and never really been in love with someone to help him do that. He's very flighty and unreliable, but he makes time for the people in his life who need him, especially Beatrice. He's worried he's going to end up alone someday, which makes him want to try everything he can in the world, so even if he doesn't have someone by his side in his old age, he can look back on those fond memories and remember what being young was like.

#### Backstory

Born into a family that was the center of everything, Emmanuel has had the spotlight on him for most of his life. He's never been the center of attention, being the third heir to the throne and all, but he still gets a fair amount of public scrutiny. Growing up, his sister Beatrice was one of the only people he ever confided in, because she was one of the only people who understood him. She's one of the only people who knows he's a homosexual. All he really wants to do is travel the world and find a man who can keep up. However, his older brother Alexandre, the new king wants him to settle down and find a wife because it'll "look better" for the family. But Emmanuel doesn't want to marry. In fact, he wishes he could just not be a part of the royal family at all. But unfortunately, he can't leave, because no matter how hard he tries, someone's always going to pull him back every time he leaves.
