  • Badass Adorable: Dogtanian is an adorable young pup, who is also an excellent swordsman. Several times, he is shown to be capable of beating older and more experienced opponents.
  • Bratty Half-Pint: Mostly at the start of the story, Dogtanian tends to act like a brat. In his hometown, he was considered a Toxic Friend Influence for the other kids.
  • Country Mouse: A poor kid from the country who moves to Paris. He doesn't like being insulted for his origins.
  • Determinator: Dogtanian always fights to achieve his objectives, like joining the Musketeers and saving Juliette's life.
  • Genius Ditz: As lampshaded by Pip, Dogtanian is not the smartest dog, but he is still a brilliant swordsman.
  • Hot-Blooded: Dogtanian gets angry rather easily, and is initially described as a "hothead".
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite his ego and brash tendencies, he is still a heroic puppy who cares about his friends (especially the other Musketeers and Pip), and deeply loves Juliette.
  • Like Father, Unlike Son: According to Monsieur de Treville, Dogtanian's father was humble and level-headed. He is surprised that Dogtanian himself is so boastful and Hot-Blooded.

  • Master Swordsman: He is easily able to beat older swordsmen, occasionally fighting many of them at the same time.

Voiced by: Jesús Nieto (European Spanish), Dan Woren (English)

The leader of the three Musketeers.


  • Adaptation Personality Change: In the original story, Athos was The Leader and Porthos was The Big Guy. Here, their personalities are switched.
  • Clear My Name: In Episode 4, the heroic Porthos was framed as a criminal because a thief was impersonating him. This is resolved at the end of the episode.
  • Master Swordsman: Porthos is considered one of the best swordsmen in the Corps.
  • Standardized Leader: He is the leader of the Musketeers, and has the least amount of defining traits compared to the others, aside from being very disciplined.
  • Supporting Leader: Despite Porthos being the leader, Dogtanian is the main character. It helps that Dogtanian joined the Musketeers later.

  • Plucky Comic Relief: Pip is introduced in the second half of the story to act as the funny sidekick for the hero, after Dogtanian himself becomes more serious and less impulsive.

The Captain of the Musketeers.

Antagonists

     Cardinal Richelieu 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/richelieu.webp
Voiced by: Rafael de Penagos (European Spanish), Kerrigan Mahan (English)

The Prime Minister of France.


  • Arch-Enemy: To Monsieur de Treville and the Musketeers. Richelieu is against them because he wants his own guards to have full control of the palace.
  • Big Bad: The main antagonist and the source of the main conflict. The other bad guys work for him.
  • Evil Chancellor: Richelieu acts as an advisor to the King, while also manipulating him and trying to put him against Treville and his guards.
  • Foul Fox: He is the main villain and the only character portrayed as a fox.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: Cardinal Richelieu serves the King, just like Monsieur de Treville. The King trusts them both, initially.
  • Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Hurting children is where Richelieu draws the line, even if they're Dogtanian's kids.

     Count Rochefort 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rochefort_5.jpg
Voiced by: Víctor Agramunt (European Spanish), Dave Mallow (English)

Richelieu's henchman who often fights against Dogtanian.


  • The Dragon: Count Rochefort is the Cardinal's henchman-in-chief for non-spy work (Milady handles the latter).
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Although a loyal servant of the evil Richelieu, Rochefort is disgusted by Richelieu and Widimer wanting to poison Dogtanian at the end. He even goes to warn Dogtanian.
  • Genius Bruiser: Rochefort is the most cunning of Richelieu's henchmen, while also being a very good swordsman.
  • Hyper-Competent Sidekick: To Richelieu. In contrast to the inept Widimer, Rochefort is a much more competent minion. That's why Richelieu trusts him more, much to Widimer's chagrin.
  • Master Swordsman: Like the Musketeers, Rochefort has excellent sword skills.
  • Noble Demon: He turns out to be a man of honour. In the final episode, he personally tips off Dogtanian about Richelieu and Widimer's plot to poison him because he feels killing a cavalier in such an underhanded manner would violate the Code of Honour, challenging Dogtanian to a duel at the same time.
  • Worthy Opponent: Rochefort is a skilled and competent adversary to the Musketeers, and also has his own honour code.

     Widimer 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/widimer.webp
Voiced by: José Martínez Blanco (European Spanish), Mike Reynolds (English)

The captain of Richelieu's Guards.


  • Authority in Name Only: Despite being the captain, not even the other guards respect him. It's clear that they only see Richelieu as their real boss.
  • Fat Bastard: The most overweight of the villains, and probably the biggest jerk of them all. Widimer has no sympathetic traits.
  • Karmic Butt-Monkey: A lof of his antagonism backfires on him, and he collects humiliating defeats all the time.
  • Laughably Evil: Widimer is definitely evil and willing to hurt people without remorse, but is also ridiculously inept at almost everything.
  • Not-So-Harmless Villain: While he is the least competent minion of Cardinal Richelieu, Widimer is perfectly capable of murder. In his debut episode, he shoots the Porthos impersonator, killing him.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: Widimer likes to think of himself as the top minion of Richelieu, but he is too incompetent for it.

     Milady 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dogtanian_milady.jpg
Voiced by: Ana Ángeles García (European Spanish), Edie Mirman (English)

Another spy for Cardinal Richelieu.


  • Adaptational Badass: While she is shown to be good at hypnosis via trance, she has a magic necklace in the movie that hypnotizes anyone who looks at her; she's also a lot better at combat.
  • Adaptational Jerk Ass: While in the series, whenever she had encounters with Dogtanian, she mainly didn't fight him much at all, in the movie she also takes over Rochefort's service role during Dogtanian's duel with Rochefort, where she hits Dogtanian on the head.
  • Cats Are Mean: As a feline, Milady is notably more devious than the other baddies.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: In the sequel, Milady doesn't hesitate to take Blanc Bec's offer to help him set a trap against Dogtanian by kidnapping Fleur, Dogtanian's daughter. But when he decides to take drastic actions by ordering her to cut Fleur's finger and send the blood in a written ultimatum to Dogtanian, she decides to stop helping him and tries to run away with her.
  • Light Feminine and Dark Feminine: As the manipulative Femme Fatale, she is the Dark Feminine to Juliette's sweet and innocent Light Feminine.
  • Sexy Cat Person: Milady is one of the few cats in the cartoon. Though cloaked, her voice and mannerisms serve this trope, and the other characters find her attractive.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Her character was executed by beheading in the original Dumas novel. Here, she survives and even returns in the sequel
