This is Paul-Henri Sabatien, a Stone Martin, or "Fouile", a Frenchman, a mercenary, and a hated rival of Fred Savage for reasons mentioned below.

This is another character for the Fred Savage comic concept, part of a brainstorming effort to shape the characters and personalities.

The rivalry of Sabatien and Savage goes back five years, when both were young mercenaries just starting to make names for themselves. Both had a proclivity for taking risks, both were talented fighters and strategists, and both had a sense of workshop professionalism about their craft, but their similarities ended where their differences
began.

Fred would not accept certain jobs out of principle while Sabatien would take on almost any clients, including the infamous Baader Meinhof terrorist organization, the KGB, and the PIRA. Fred preferred freelance work for small organizations and chose his clients out of an expectation of mutual trust. Sabatien was focused on profit as well as a chance to kill. Fred, while greedy, was also concerned with glory and was less concerned with killing than doing the job right. Finally, Henri was also dishonest, willing to say or do anything to his advantage, while Fred had a reputation for brutal honesty and loyalty.

The two disliked each other fairly quietly until they both signed on for a mission in Ethiopia along side pro-democracy rebels against the Marxist government. When disaster befell the team and Fred was wounded, Henri turned Fred over to the government for a bounty and fled the country. Fred, as a mercenary, had no support from the Geneva Convention and very little from his home country, Australia, having to endure 8 months of torture, sickness, malnutrition, and relentless interrogation until he managed to secure a bribe to the right officials to arrange for his release.

It would be a year before Fred began looking for more work, and by that time Henri had become something of a terrorist celebrity, working for the booming Provisional IRA. Fred, seeking revenge and work, took up work training security guards for a British client, taking time on the side to seek out Henri and find out what he was up to. With the aid of a doctor affiliated with the Ulsters, he was able to find Henri, who at the time believed Fred to be dead. Using this element of surprise Fred was able to set up a counter-ambush, intercepting and killing a handful of provisional IRA troops while driving Henri’s escorts away. In the fight, the marten was hit in the head by a chunk of concrete thrown by an explosion. It was soon found that he was in a coma.

Fred wanted to kill Henri, but the idea arose that he could profit from Henri's demise just as Henri had from Fred's incarceration. Rather than execute him, they turned the comatose mercenary over to a group of Estonian organ smugglers who took him and began to harvest his organs, starting with his kidneys. Fred got top dollar- Henri's Olympian attention to his body and health had made him something of an ideal specimen. The surgeons decided to remove both his kidneys and place him on dialysis until a buyer could be found for his liver and heart. What the smugglers hadn't anticipated, however, was that Henri would wake up in the midst of the procedure.

They had declined to use anesthesia because the surgeons had figured him to be a vegetable, and so, in a haze of incomprehensible pain and rage, Henri took a scalpel and held it to one of the surgeons' necks, demanding that they reinstall his organs. They acquiesced, but because they didn't have the proper skill or equipment to transplant his
organs he was left with one functional kidney and a host of secondary infections. Coming within a hair's breadth of death, Henri only stayed alive because of his burning need for revenge. His target: Fred.

The rampant infections destroyed Henri's body, eating away his muscles and irreversibly damaging his lungs and liver, which made him constantly short of breath and ill. This only magnified his unpleasant qualities and sharpened his homicidal cunning. He has continued his work, largely as an advisor and strategist for various terrorist organizations and as an intelligence aide to the KGB and the Syrian government. He has largely worked under aliases or secrecy, waiting for the time when he and Fred could cross paths again, absolutely determined to extract revenge. Since Henri had regarded his body to be his temple and was something of a fitness fanatic before his premature autopsy, he views Savage’s punishment as reprehensible and worthy of the harshest retribution imaginable.
