The details
Biography
André-Charles Brottier (1751–1798), was a French royalist who sought the violent overthrow of the Directory.
He was born to wealthy parents in town of Tannay, Nièvre in 1751. He left the town following a fire which destroyed most of his father's property. In 1794 he was recruited into the "Paris Agency" - an organisation set up by Spanish ambassador, Fernan Nunes, to provide intelligence for his government. It was subsequently taken over by the Comte d'Antraigues.
