Aiden Murphy

Aiden Murphy plays Antoine, a leader of the French Revolution.

The following is Antoine's story, written by Aiden:

Antione was born in 1763 in France, 26 years before the first French Revolution started. When he was seven years old, he began to see how unfair it was for the less wealthy. His mother died when he was nine from diseases that couldn't be treated without medicine and his father was hanged for speaking out against the tyranny by the Comte. He watched his father hang, and swore on his father’s death that he would not rest until he rose up against them or died trying. He spent the next 5 years growing up with his older brother who took care of him. When he was 13, his brother was murdered, nobody know why, but he had told Antione that he was going to find some bread the previous day. For the rest of his childhood, he lived with his grandfather until his grandfather died when he was 22, giving him the house, around where he met the men and women he would later kill in the name of freedom. He met Sabine, their grandparents were old time friends, and it didn’t take long for them to marry and later lead the revolution together. She always stood by his side and went with him wherever he went and helped him do whatever he wanted in the name of France. Although they stuck together through till the end, it wasn’t the greatest or most loving marriage of all time. They both recognized that things needed to change in France and they both took action.
