Lord Caravellan (Empath stories)

Lord Caravellan is a human character who appears in the story "Empath The Luckiest Smurf". He is the duke of the village of Abelagot whose son Geoffrey is missing. In the story he is visited by Vincent Devereaux and by the two showmasters Stanley and Simon, who brought the Smurfs with them in the hopes that they would distract the duke with some entertainment while Empath, who was going under the identity of the Bandit Smurf, looked for the treasure room so that Devereaux could get his hands on the duke's treasure. While the Smurfs were with Lord Caravellan, they revealed through a theater piece not only Devereaux's intended purpose, but also that the duke's closest friend Ganelon was the one who kidnapped Geoffrey in the hopes of extracting a ransom from the duke. Lord Caravellan had ordered both men to be arrested and put into the dungeon, and then exonerated both Stanley and Simon, having Simon be his protege with Stanley as his own servant.
