Count De Villefort
Du Pont is a prospective suitor of Emily’s who sometimes stalks her from a distance, making her think that he’s a ghost. He steals a miniature of Emily from Madame St. Aubert. Ultimately, he is a worse version of the more selfless Valancourt, although Du Pont partially redeems himself near the end by stepping aside and vouching for Valancourt’s good character to Emily.

Ludovico, who had been with his tired horses to the hovel, which served for a stable, entered the room, half frantic with joy, in which his auditors soon participated. On removing the saddle from one of the horses, he had found beneath it a small bag, containing, no doubt, the booty of one of the Condottieri, who had returned from a plundering excursion, just before Ludovico left the castle, and whose horse having strayed from the inner court, while his master was engaged in drinking, had brought away the treasure, which the ruffian had considered the reward of his exploit.
