The Red Ghost of the Tuileries

The Red Ghost of the Tuileries was a virtual representation of one of Arno Dorian's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.

 * Love letter - "My dearest Beaudoin, you cannot imagine the emotion with which I write. My husband has uncovered our liaison! He is furious and, in his rages, threatens you with mortal injury. Oh, my love, I knew I should have returned to Austria rather than continue our affair, but our time together was too, too sweet... Brigitta von Glück"
 * Marks on wall - Handwritten in what seems to be blood: "Beaudoin! I know the evil that lies in your heart. Your end is near!"

Counselor's House

 * A genealogical tree - A genealogical tree showing that LeGall is directly descended from Johannes Metzger.
 * Letter from Beaudoin - Respected Counselor LeGall, these apparitions, whether real or imagined, strike horror in my heart. I swear I have seen objects in my office move of their own volition! It is as if the ghost haunted the walls behind my office. I feel my reason slipping from me and rely on your steadfast advice. What am I to do? -Beaudoin
 * Official-looking letter - Citizen LeGall, this missive is to confirm our conversations. Due to Citizen Beaudoin's recent attacks of hysteria, it is understood that if and when the position of Director of Finances, currently held by Citizen Beaudoin, comes open and available, it is decided that you, acting Counselor to Beaudoin, will take his position at an annual recompensation of 800 livres. --Citizen LeFevre, Magistrate

 * Glass vials - A box of glass vials marked with an apothecary stamp indicating 137, rue St. Honoré.
 * Historical books and papers - Books and papers relating to the appearances throughout history of the Red Ghost of the Tuileries. They show that in 1561 one Johannes Metzger (a Bavarian known in Paris as Jean L'Écorcheur) vowed vengeance on the Crown at his execution. The appearances of the Red Ghost began at that point and have continued until the present. Several books detail investigations at the Tuileries in search of the ghost and recount tales of mysterious noises, secret rooms and strange apparitions.
 * Letter from Counselor LeGall - Sir, I know as a fact that the ghost exists and is dangerous. There is no doubt in my mind that it is capable of horrendous acts that no man should be subject to. The legend says the ghost haunts your office in the Tuileries. I fear for your soul. -- Your trusted Counselor, Hervé LeGall
 * Letter from creditor - Our ruse is a success! None of the gambling party suspects you because they believe you lost everything as well! Your secret bank account is overflowing, you need never have any financial worries my friend! --Your "Creditor" Marc-André
 * Religious objects - Numerous crucifixes, rosaries, prayer books as well as strings of garlic. Apparently intended to ward off evil spirits.
 * Suicide note - Dear mother, if you find this it means I am no longer among the living. The relentless noises and apparitions of the phantom are slowly driving me out of my senses. I see red everywhere, even in my dreams. Dear Mother, it is for the best, I must put an end to my misery.

Apothecary Shop

 * M. Durand (Apothecary): Yes, I made that elixir. It's just a few herbs tossed together to make something that stinks. A wealthy fellow, Beaudoin, came in. Wanted something to keep spirits away. I told him he was a fool, but he paid well enough for me to concoct this.

Gambling Den

 * Man: But I have no money! Please!
 * Marc André: Shut up while I beat you to a bloody pulp!

Office

 * Third Valet (Works for the Ministry of Finance): We just now heard a shot! We all ran to find out what happened. I believe it was the red ghost. A few nights ago, I saw the ghost myself! I turned a corner and saw him disappear right through this door. Dressed in red with an unutterably horrific expression!
 * Counselor Hervé LeGall (Assistant to the victim): My name is LeGall, Counselor to Director of Finance Beaudoin. He locked himself in his office well over a day ago. For some weeks he's been in a state of agitation. It's very sad that it ended this way.
 * Second Valet (Works for the Ministry of Finance): The legend must be true! Long ago a Bavarian murderer was executed nearby, and his red ghost has haunted this palace to this day! Have you seen the painting? It appeared from nowhere just yesterday.
 * First Valet (Works for the Ministry of Finance): I've actually overheard many very ghostly noises and even the ghost speaking! Through that very door, Beaudoin alone in the room and the ghost speaking with a terrifying accent. I heard this several times.

 * Herr Friedrich von Glück (Husband of Brigitta and acquaintance of the victim): I do not answer to members of the working class.
