"Behold! The absolute power of France's true ruler!"

- Vidocq

Vidocq is the main villain of teh video game Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights.

History
Prior to revelaing his villainous intentions, Vidocq confronted Doctor Lautrec in his office to get help from him with a decryption devise. After getting what he wanted, Vidocq pulled out a gun and escaped with his henchmen, Jean and Paul.

In the course of the events, he masqueraded himself, took control over a monster called Sang Maudit and was able to kidnapp Marie, the tertiary protagonist, to gain power over the Treasure Animatus. However, Jean and Paul turned against him.

In the end, he found "Ys", a flying castle beneath Paris, which he used to attack London, but he was off-target, so the city wasn't harmed. Before he could attack Berlin however, he was killed by the Guardian of the Treasure Animatus.

Trivia

 * He bears much resemblance to Jean-François, the secondary antagonist of the game Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure and Colonel Muska, the main antagonist of the movie Castle in the Sky: All three of them are male, power hungry, charismatic and well-dressed anime characters with glasses, who use guns and are (as well as female protagonists of their stories, who they kidnapp to achieve their goals) descendants of ancient, advanced civilisations, whose legacies (in all three cases flying castles) they want to use to take over the world.
 * Like Jean-François he is a sophisticated frenchman who wants to rule France and turn it into a global power with the help of knights.
 * Like Colonel Muska he is a blonde and megalomaniac Complete Monster, who dies at the end of the story by the power he wanted to achieve.
