Personality

Laurent operates much like a modern Robin Hood, targeting corrupt and criminal individuals who gain wealth through exploiting others. His scams are designed not only to strip these people of their ill-gotten riches but also to expose their crimes and help the victims they harmed. Although he is merciless toward his targets, he treats his teammates like family and shows unwavering loyalty toward them. He is flirtatious, confident, and widely considered a playboy.

While Laurent often appears carefree and playful, he can be intensely serious when the situation demands it. Beneath his smooth and charming exterior lies a deeply wounded and vengeful man, shaped by past trauma and a profound sense of guilt. He harbors deep resentment toward Mr. Liu of the Shanghai Mafia for his role in Dorothy’s fate, and he occasionally experiences hallucinations of her, which leave him visibly shaken. Despite these internal struggles, Laurent maintains exceptional self-control and a strong moral compass, making him both mentally resilient and ethically steadfast.

Background

Laurent spent his childhood in Brussels, Belgium, raised by his French mother, Emma Thierry. Aspiring to become a diplomat, he dedicated himself to studying multiple languages. His life changed when a man named Hugo offered to invest in his future. Exploiting Emma’s dyslexia, Hugo tricked her into signing a contract that secretly transferred all her savings to him. The loss devastated their lives, and Emma passed away soon after.

Left alone and determined to seek revenge, Laurent moved to Paris, where he survived through gambling while plotting his confrontation with Hugo. During a failed attempt to kill him, Laurent accidentally stabbed a woman named Dorothy, who later became a pivotal figure in his life. This incident eventually led to Laurent being recruited into Team Confidence, setting the course for his future as one of the world’s most skilled con artists.
