Jullian Danglars

Jullian Danglars most often simply called Danglars, was a crewmember on board the same ship as Edmond Dantes, but is now the most powerful banker in France and he seeks wealth above everything else, disregarding the feelings of those closest to him in the process. By appealing to Danglars’ sense of greed, the Count persuades him to create an account allowing an unlimited withdrawal of funds. He sees the marriage of his daughter Eugénie as a way to enhance his family’s wealth and prestige. He has been friends with Fernand for several decades, and engaged Eugénie to Albert as a way of tying the families together as well as a means of supporting Morcerf’s political ambitions. Danglars was the one who came up with the idea to imprison Edmond for his own gains and because Edmond had uncovered his embezzlement of ship’s funds.
