Sir Percy Blakeney / The Scarlet Pimpernel
Season 1:
The Scarlet Pimpernel rescues a Baroness from Chauvelin, but she is reluctant to leave because Chauvelin has her son. The Scarlet Pimpernel must rescue the boy and not give away his identity as Sir Percy Blakeney.
Sir Percy is always ready to make a wager. However, betting on the outcome of the Pimpernel's latest escapade could be dangerous - and even cost him his freedom.
The Pimpernel goes back into danger to rescue a serving girl. Ginette is a lovely and spirited young woman and he finds himself falling for her and wondering what a different life would be like.
Chauvelin's scheme to capture the Princesse de Monsantes before she can escape to England succeeds and she and her servant fall into his trap. Sir Percy hears about it and hatches his own scheme, rescuing the Princesse and her servant from under Chauvelin's nose and smuggling them to England. Outraged, Chauvelin travels to England, planning to kidnap the Princesse and bring her back to France. Meanwhile, the Prince has hired a Chinese decorator to remodel a wing of the palace, and Sir Percy decides to use the man in his plan to thwart Chauvelin's plot.
Chauvelin uses the Pimpernel's strong sense of chivalry to bait a trap with the beautiful Cecille as the bait. Informed that Madame la Guillotine awaits her pretty neck, Sir Percy plans a rescue.
Answering an appeal from the Princesse Melanie de Monsantes to bring her brother Jacques to safety from France, the Pimpernel finds him but he refuses to leave and instead asks the Pimpernel for help in frustrating Chauvelin's latest plan.
In his strangest mission yet, the Pimpernel must rescue a young man accused of being the Pimpernel - and discover whether Chauvelin was behind a plot to plant the false avenger in France.
Hearing that the Scarlet Pimpernel is being impersonated in France by an Englishman who is robbing and murdering French aristocrats, Sir Percy sets a trap to catch the imposter.
Why would an American who desperately needs the Pimpernel's help challenge him in a duel to the death? Sir Percy must find a way to protect his second identity and protect the man, at the same time.
While smuggling aristocrats out of France, Andrew and Richard are pursued by Chauvelin's agents. Andrew is shot and wounded, and Richard is forced to leave him behind. Sir Percy must return to Paris to find Andrew and get him out of the country, a task complicated by the fact that Percy doesn't know where Andrew is and Chauvelin has his agents out looking for Andrew, too.
Lord Richard Hastings's eye for a pretty girl places him and Sir Percy in the spotlight - and right under Chauvelin's nose. Will the gossip prove to be their undoing, or can the Pimpernel save the day?
When Chauvelin captures several members of French nobility, Sir Percy must forsake a quiet Christmas at home and attempt a rescue.
The lovely Comtesse la Valliere, formerly a spy for Chauvelin, changes sides when she learns of the impending execution of dozens of moderate French revolutionaries. Teaming with the Scarlet Pimpernel and his men, the Comtesse plans to rescue the condemned men - from under Chauvelin's nose.
Sir Percy discovers that Chauvelin is blackmailing the banker Rothstein by holding his daughter, Rachelle, captive. He hatches a plan to fool the doctor treating Rachelle into unwittingly help her escape Chauvelin’s clutches and reunite her with her anxious father.
Innocent newlyweds, Antoine and Antoinette, are falsely arrested and sentenced to death. The Scarlet Pimpernel comes to the rescue with the help of Antoinette’s young sister, Elise, who worships the Pimpernel.
The Abbey of Nanterre has been plundered by Chauvelin, and many of its monks lie dead. Sir Percy decides to rescue the remaining monks, including the Father Guardian, who Percy discovers to be quite a handful.
Sir Percy notices a beautiful woman showing an unusual interest in the Prince of Wales’s affairs and is unconvinced by her replies to his questions. Perhaps it's time for the Pimpernel to show his true colours.
Giving one of Sir Percy's agents false information, Chauvelin hopes to lure the man he thinks is the Pimpernel into the open. He achieves his aim but is astonished when a 'simple minded' farmer's boy (the Pimpernel in disguise) arrives.
