Barthelemy Philipeaux, comte de Porcellain is a ruler in the Industrial Age. He controls the bonus provinces of Embruniez, Wenoevre, Gabordeaux and Ydine, which are based on Canada.
Barthelemy is a cunning and ruthless general (as described by Princess Myciena von Maidenport) and he likes war. He declares himself the "embodiment of warfare" and that he values honor highly. He is highly arrogant and looks down on you as weak. Once he realizes you as a real threat, though, he sends propaganda leaflets to your city and accuses you of various crimes. After you find out, you strike back by defeating him and he flees the country.
He resembles the French general Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte (count) de Rochambeau.
