 Rex Mundi (Comic Book)
comment
In an alternate world, Magic still reigns and Feudalism never fell. The Bourbon's still rule France, the Protestant Reformation never took off, and the world is divided between the great empires. In this world, Doctor Sauniere is awoken late one night in October 1933 by his friend father Marin, and finds himself dragged into a conspiracy involving the Holy Grail and the ambitions of the upcoming politician, the Duke of Lorraine. Aided by his former colleague Dr Tournion Julien seeks to discover the truth behind the holy grail... but is he prepared for the full enormity of what he will discover.

Break the Haughty: Father Moricant experiences this in Volume 5, culminating in him committing suicide. He gets better, and becomes a lot more easy going as a result.

Character Development: Julien, though a good person, is a relatively unambitious individual at the start; by the end he's a full blown hero.

Bittersweet Ending
 Rex Mundi (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e
comment
Bittersweet Ending: Lorraine is defeated, and since most of his inner circle was wiped out that means that Genevieve and the others have a chance at a better life. However Europe has been devastated by war, and it's not clear whether Julien survived his final battle with Lorraine.

Heel–Face Turn: After coming back from the dead in a way similar to Jesus, Father Moricant mellows out considerably, joining Julien's band in the final battle.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones
 Rex Mundi (Comic Book) / int_63d861f8
comment
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Probably one of Lorraine's ONLY redeeming qualities is that he does love his daughter despite their fraught relationship; he also treats a former subordinate of his extremely well even though the man was fighting on the other side. It's also heavily implied that the only reason he didn't have Julien murdered right away was because he was Dr Tournion's friend.

Alternate History
 Rex Mundi (Comic Book) / int_a86069f
comment
Alternate History: Aside from the existence of magic and the secret history revolving around the Knights Templar, the main point of divergence from our world is the failure of the French Revolution around 1800, resulting in the death of Napoleon in prison, the reassertion of feudalism across Europe, the splitting of America with the Civil War and the general stalling of the Age of Enlightenment.

Putting on the Reich: Hitler isn't around and the "Prussian Empire" basically fills in for what was otherwise Imperial Germany, but Lorraine and his order eventually take on very Nazi-esque tones.

Ghostapo: Played with; the Nazis aren't a thing in this universe (World War 1 never happened and what was otherwise Imperial Germany became the "Prussian Empire"), but thanks to Putting on the Reich and a lot of mystical doings surrounding the Holy Grail, Lorraine and his supporters essentially become this reality's equivalent.
