Carchon had an elevated sense of ego coupled with a paranoid disposition which meant he often left himself vulnerable when trying to protect himself.
Nico's journal describes Carchon as 'suave and charming', which lives up to his reputation amongst the public.
Physical appearance[]
Carchon was a tall, Caucasian man possibly in his 60s. He had dark brown hair and brown eyes. Due to his wealth and job, Pierre often wore suits.
