Ragueneau
A young nobleman who tries and fails to woo Roxane on behalf of the Count de Guiche (who can’t do so himself, since he’s engaged to another woman). Valvert is proud, rude, and spiteful, and after he insults Cyrano de Bergerac’s large nose, it’s satisfying for the characters (and us) to watch Cyrano defeat him in a duel.
