Clue explainedFact checked
Athos is one of the Three Musketeers in Alexandre Dumas’s adventure novel, alongside Porthos and Aramis; the younger D’Artagnan joins their circle. First published in 1844, the novel follows their exploits in the service of the French king. Athos is the most reserved of the trio, and his story eventually reveals a troubled past that gives the swashbuckling tale a more personal edge.
