Cast
The characters are all generally broad stereotypes of their traditional portrayals in the original Musketeers book and subsequent movies: - D'Artagnan- brash and impulsive, the self-declared leader of the Musketeers.
- Athos- rarely says anything, but tends to do everything backwards, including riding his horse.
- Porthos- large and fat, Portos is always thinking of his stomach.
- Aramis- very flirtatous and feminine, often lapses into poetry.
- King Louis XIII- the ruler of France and commissioner of the Musketeers. Childish and moronic, he is easily duped by Richelieu.
- Cardinal Richelieu- the prime minister of France, he seeks to undermine the King's authority at every turn and sends his guards to fight off the meddling Musketeers who threaten to disrupt his plans.
- Anne of Austria- the King's wife. Beautiful, but ditzy. She often confides privately in Albert with instructions.
- M'Lady- Richelieu's cunning female assistant. She has a tattoo of a fleur de lis on her shoulder that turns into a quacking duck.
- The Duke of Buckingham- the love-crazed suitor of Queen Anne.
