ABBE ARNAUD (Gregg Berger)
The church of St. Mary Magdalene is not a real church anymore,
but then Abbé Arnaud is no long a real Abbé.
That he still is called one by the locals reflects both their stubbornness and his.
He tells Gabriel that he's simply fascinated by the area and the story of the suddenly wealthy Abbé Saunière of 1891.
Does he hope lightening will strike twice in the same spot? How far into Saunière's shoes has he put himself? And what secrets has it taught him?
