With the Eiffel Tower under construction and preparations for
the Exposition Universelle of 1889 underway, Paris at the end of
the 19th century is a lively, bustling city. At the same time, a
group of adventurers are preparing to prowl the city's
underground in search of "Treasures Animatus" otherwise known as
living treasures. They begin their adventure by gathering at a
bar called "Le Repaire" located beneath the Palais Garnier opera
house, armed with a mysterious treasure . Only a few of the
smartest and bravest would obtain fame and fortune. For the rest,
only death awaits.
Jean-Pierre Lautrec, a mystery-loving archeologist from the
Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (MNHN), is one of these
adventurers. Lautrec is a brilliant man, calm and reassuring
while also being sarcastic and argumentative. He has few friends
in this world but seems not to care. His true love and passion is
immersing himself in mysteries and puzzles. He's not one to break
the laws that surround him, but he lacks morals and knows how to
bend them. Aided by his one true friend and assistant, Sophie,
they together search tirelessly for Treasures Animatus. Sophie, a
young, outgoing and emotional student also at the university
frequently assists Lautrec in his quests and secretly has a crush
on the professor.
One day, a woman named Marie visits Lautrec bearing a curious
gadget. Unsure what it is she seeks his guidance. The mysterious
that the gadget displays seems to point the way to a
fantastic hidden treasure belonging to Louis XIV of the House of
Bourbon, a dynasty that had collapsed nearly a century earlier
and gone unfound for decades.
As Lautrec and Sophie search for the treasure, they find
themselves targeted by a mysterious man named Vidocq. They are
blocked at every turn by the Knights of the Iron , a
mysterious group of men with iron s and claws.
Will Lautrec be able to find the hidden treasure of Louis XIV?
And what is the true identity of the mysterious Marie? All
mysteries will be revealed in this puzzle solving adventure on

Jean-Pierre Lautrec - 28 years old. He is the main character
of this story and an Archeology professor at Muséum national
d'histoire naturelle (MNHN) in Paris. His demeanor; logical, calm
and reassuring although argumentative and sarcastic. He is also a
genius. He lacks communication skills and doesn't have many
friends, but he seems not to care. His true loves are mysteries
and puzzles, which was the reason he began a career in
archeology. At the University he is unpopular among the students.
His classes are frequently canceled and so no one registered for
this year's postgraduate courses. He has a habit of saying "There
just isn't enough time to solve the mysteries in this world". Dr.
Lautrec is not the type of person to break laws, but he does lack
morals and has no problem bending them to his will and he's not
much interested in right and wrong. When an excavation is
unreasonably prohibited, he cls that it is "inconsequential"
and carries on without permission. Nothing but the mystery
matters more.
Sophie Coubertin - 22 years old. Profession, student. Sophie
is a linguistics major at the University of Paris. She spent her
childhood in Egypt, and is a fluent speaker of Arabic. Since her
part time job as an assistant to Dr. Lautrec on an excavation in
Egypt, she has been visiting his office frequently. Sophie
voluntarily does assistant-like work for Dr. Lautrec.
She is bright, outgoing and emotionally charged. Sophie laughs a
lot and gets angry quite frequently as well. She is small,
slender, and extremely attractive. The "Quasi-Miss. University of
Paris". Many have shown interest in going out with her, but she
isn't interested because she likes Lautrec instead. Sophie is
frustrated because he seems not to care a single bit. She is
always arguing with Dr. Lautrec.
"Dr. Lautrec, doing puzzles again? Don't you get tired of it?
Geez, that's why your students are fed up with you!"
Jack-Marie Vidocq is his full name but goes just by Vidocq.
30 years old. He is a linguistic scholar and a historian at
Sorbonne University, or so he would have you believe. Brilliant,
calculating, methodical with an extreme attention to detail. He
has no friends but instead has associates. He trusts no one and
believes no one. He's cold hearted.
He too deals in mysteries and puzzles with a y obsession
for treasure of his own. Instead of excavating he is instead the
mastermind of an organization crime that fences grave robbing and
steals treasure. He has henchmen that work for him, secretly,
under the table. Vidocq, is a charlatan who lies about being a
professor at the University and is the mastermind of the Knights
of the Holy .
