Although d"Artagnan is not able to join this elite corps immediately, he is befriended by the three most formidable musketeers of the age – Athos, Porthos and Aramis, "the three inseparables"– and becomes involved in affairs of state and at court.
The story of d"Artagnan is continued in Twenty Years After and The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later.
