MY REPUTATION PRECEDES ME

From Parisian rooftops to royal vaults — each job a masterpiece.

I am not merely a thief — I am an artist. My canvas is opportunity, my brush is deception, and my signature is the faint scent of cologne left behind in an empty room.

The following is an incomplete account of my most celebrated operations. Some files are missing. Some never existed. Or so they say.

CASE CLOSED

🏛

The Louvre Affair

Paris, France – Spring 1904

  • Evaded 42 guards, 16 cameras, and one overconfident curator.
  • “Borrowed” the Mona Lisa for a private audience before returning it unnoticed.
  • Disguised as a restoration artist for the duration of the job.

CASE CLOSED

👑

The Crown Jewels Caper

London, England – Autumn 1907

  • Infiltrated the Tower of London during a royal gala.
  • Left the jewels in place, replacing them with flawless replicas — for my own amusement.
  • Enjoyed champagne with the Queen’s cousin before vanishing into the night.

STILL AT LARGE

🗝

The Phantom Bank Job

Paris, France – Winter 1912

  • Orchestrated a withdrawal of 5 million francs without ever stepping foot inside the vault.
  • Funds mysteriously reappeared two weeks later, minus an untraceable donation to an orphanage.

CASE CLOSED

🎭

The Masquerade Escape

Monte Carlo – Summer 1915

  • Disappeared from a fully locked ballroom in the middle of a waltz.
  • Reappeared in the orchestra pit conducting the final number.

Unconfirmed Operations

  • Rumors link me to the Florence Diamond Swap, the Orient Express Incident, and the Vanishing of the Vienna Waltz Manuscript — but of course, I deny everything.
