The lustrous locks crowning his head are a lush honey colour, seemingly made of soft streaks of glimmering gold that shine luxuriously under ritzy casino lights. Even with his hair set loose and outfitted in informal attire for his post-work parties, his sharp, amber eyes and tall frame command attention worthy of an aristocrat. His fair skin similarly oozes an innate glow of imperial topaz and regal zircon. He believes in the importance of personal fitness in mental clarity and personal image and has developed beautiful broad shoulders that are a presence in and of itself. Furthermore, being the handsome and fit CEO of Porthos Motors certainly bodes well for the company's reputation as magazine covers simply can't get enough of him.
Armand possesses a lofty collection of fragrances to match any occasion but he most prefers Baccarat Rouge 540 for its lingering impressionable scent as well as its complex sweetness. However, more formal occasions have him reaching for the deep and woodsy Oud Wood. Beneath the cologne lie Armand's personal scents of high-end champagne and aftershave mixed with the cleanliness of freshly laundered clothes.
Armand has two separate closets filled with clothes matching his double life. One closet full of formal attire and tuxedos and the other full of party and club outfits closely following the latest trends in fashion. It is rare to see clothes any older than a year or two in either wardrobe but he does occasionally don vintage suits when going to speak with CEOs from the older generations. Such a choice, he believes, helps the negotiation go more smoothly and allows the men to have a common topic they could bond over. He will also clean up quite nicely with a sophisticated slick back, a Patek Philippe Annual Calendar and a couple Versace statement rings. It's essential to him that he doesn't come off too modest nor an arrogant show-off - something he learned from repeated trial-and-error experiences.
However, on nights out, Armand is a fan of designer labels to flaunt and impress. He changes his style often depending on his mood but never declines a fair amount of accessorising using jewellery from Bvlgari, Casablanca or even Chrome Hearts.
Wherever Armand is spotted, he always sports a smile of any degree - a smirk or a hearty laugh, the man constantly seems to be having a grand time. However, gaze too deep into his eyes and one may almost drown in the sea of monotonous melancholy ebbing and rushing behind his pensive stare. What could be the waters troubling the shores of his mind?

psyche.
Armand is often perceived as a reckless playboy with a love for overindulgence in life's pleasures. You may find him at high-end clubs and casinos nearly every night save for a couple days out of the month. He enjoys meeting new people and tires of routine and rules easily. Many of his acquaintances note that the party doesn't start until Armand has arrived. He carries an air of ease and charisma that draws the interest of many to him and yet, he handles such immense attention quite fluently. He rarely comes off strong but is far from being aloof.
Notwithstanding all those traits, perhaps the most interesting is his personality switch during the day. The consequences of Armand's wild party habits are never shown at work and his newer employees are often surprised to find out that the man had been downing shots like water eight hours ago. He's alert and sharp and is quick on his feet to respond to work requests and queries. However, he's prone to slacking off and procrastinating on tasks if they prove to be too tedious and long-winded. In important negotiations with foreign company representatives, he displays the persona of an upstanding and knowledgeable businessman with a great sense of responsibility. Although there are a couple individuals acquainted with his true style of life, they are commanded not to comment on it thanks to his handsome compensations. Indeed, he usually goes about solving most of his issues in such a manner. What else is he to do with such wealth?
Deep inside, however, is an insecure child with a fear of isolation and deprivation. He wants to experience everything in the world and to live without regrets of not having fulfilled his wishes. On deep contemplative nights, Armand frequently wonders when those closest to him will abandon him and overthink their actions or manner of speech for the day. As a result, he does not commit to projects or relationships, much to the dismay of his coworkers and past lovers. Such thoughts rarely pop up, however, as Armand ensures, with his daily schedule, that he will never have time to sit down and think and is forced to be on the go 24/7 with only the bare minimum time to sleep.

⠀CHILDHOOD⠀
As the only child of Vincent Renaud Lyon Devereux and Evangeline Valentin Devereux who are both wealthy businessmen managing a shared sports car producing company, they were present in Armand's life up until he was 10 years old and had left thereafter to fully devote themselves to the expansion of their business. They had left Armand with a nanny and a hired assistant to not only keep him company but also sort out his daily schedules and duties. That assistant was a boy his age, Hugo Cavalier Du Maurier, whom he'd grown to become deeply attached to. They'd gotten along quite nicely with the more mellow Hugo accompanying Armand for whatever adventures he wished to go on that day and advising him on potential dangers and risks.
⠀ADOLESCENCE⠀
Perhaps it was the absence of his parents' affection but Armand found himself craving Hugo's attention even though they were practically attached at the hip. He looked to him for approval and frequently depended on him for many things, both physically and emotionally. However, little did he know, Hugo had grown to despise how attached Armand was. As they began to grow up and enter high school, Hugo found Armand's complete lack of awareness for others' struggles and seemingly selfish behaviour unbearable. He also despised the idea of being reduced to 'Armand's little assistant' and being unable to establish his own identity in school.
The straw that broke the camel's back was when Armand had tried to kiss Hugo, believing they shared a mutual romantic interest in each other. Consequently, Hugo completely lashed out on Armand and revealed his true feelings to him, detailing all of Armand's vices and the nasty thoughts he harboured in his mind about him. He had quit his job and disappeared from Armand's life with no way for him to contact him again. All of this was an indescribable shock to Armand who believed wholeheartedly like a little child that he and Hugo were inseparable. It was a terrible period in his life; he'd had to complete his senior year of high school at home and his parents had bribed the school to forge his final grade report and hand him the diploma without protest despite him never attending school that year. He spent his days pouring over his actions and sincerely regretting that he'd gotten so attached to Hugo when it was entirely unrequited. It was only thanks to the work of elite therapists and a reckless amount of antidepressants that he'd been able to re-enter society again and start attending university. There, he'd been introduced to the life of partying to numb his pains and has never looked back ever since.
⠀YOUNG ADULTHOOD⠀
Being inexperienced in how to appropriately party with respect to his reputation, Armand had once gotten involved in a drug scandal so severe that it had even garnered the attention of the eternally busy Mr. and Mrs. Devereux, who had shown him a dreadful punishment that had him completely avoid going near it ever again. Additionally, he was quite sure they'd hired a private investigator to trail him and ensure that he was obeying their warning during his college years.
During college, his father had also kept him from partying too hard by having Armand shadow him at meetings and learning about how the trade works. Having studied Business Administration at university, he had also become decently knowledgeable on leadership roles and succeeded his father with fluency.
