Other branch
Auguste Lantier
Hatter (chapelier), idler
Gervaise's first partner and the father of Étienne, Claude, and Jacques. He abandons Gervaise at the start of L'Assommoir, but later insinuates himself back into her life — and into her home — with insolent ease, living off her and Coupeau while doing no work. His idle, sensual presence is one of the forces that destroys her.
Premier compagnon de Gervaise et père d'Étienne, Claude et Jacques. Il abandonne Gervaise puis se réinstalle chez elle en parasite.
Dark, handsome, with the easy manner of a man who has always relied on his looks and charm and rarely been disappointed.
