Rougon branch
Victor Saccard
Man of leisure
Aristide Saccard's illegitimate son, revealed in L'Argent. Raised in poverty, he is violently feral when Saccard finally acknowledges him — a dark echo of his father's destructive energy without any of the father's brilliance or charm. He represents the worst of hereditary transmission: corruption without talent.
Fils illégitime d'Aristide Saccard, révélé dans L'Argent. Élevé dans la misère, il est violent et sauvage — écho sombre de son père sans son éclat.
Swarthy, quick-eyed, with the watchful look of someone who grew up without safety.
