 It turns out to be Lapinot, the main character of the series, who dies as the story finishes.After the book's publication, Trondheim explained in his book "Désoeuvré" that the death of his character didn't exclude the possibility of seeing him again in stock historical settings or in modern day flashbacks before his death.In August 2017, however, the graphic novel "Un monde un peu meilleur" brings back Lapinot in his established continuity, with the only difference being that he didn't die.
