One of the Emperor's aides de camp arrived at Marmont's.
Early in his career, Brant was sent to Angola, where he served as aide de camp to the royal governor there.
In 1824 he was made maréchal de camp (major general).
He also served as aide de camp to the Governor of Pennsylvania.
He was promoted to major and aide de camp of Volunteers on May 19, 1863.
They liked each other, and Magovern was soon convinced to become Springsteen's aide de camp.
Atthalin, though, retained his role as aide de camp.
For his leadership there, he was promoted to major general (Maréchal de camp).
