Fabien Ahmad

Fabien, a character in The Heist: Monaco series, is a potential member of your crew and one of your love interests. He is first seen in The Heist: Monaco, Chapter 3.

Appearance
Fabien has brown eyes, brown hair and facial hair. He wears a black leather jacket and black shirt with two necklaces, one with a horseshoe shaped pendant and one with a silver ring.

Personality
As he puts it, "I do fast, bold, or handsome. Quiet's not really in my repertoire". He also says he prefers to focus on the job (such as mapping out an escape route in case you, your Thief, and your Grifter need an out from the Royal Ruby Casino), although Eris can goad him into playing a round of blackjack. You find him brooding often, but tell him he has a "man-of-mystery" air about him.

Gino Aggrazzi
Fabien dislikes Gino because of his narcissism. Both he and Tillie find it amusing if you talk down to him. In Chapter 12, he faces Gino again in the King's Circuit. If he is your driver, he must beat him in order to secure a getaway for your crew after the heist. Otherwise, he must sign a contract with Tristan Dumont to become his new driver for his races.

Your Character
You can choose to recruit either Fabien or Tillie to act as your crew's driver in Chapter 3. If you recruit him, he becomes a love interest for Your Character and you can also build up his trust throughout the book. You can go on a ride with him and kiss him in a premium scene of Chapter 3. In Chapter 5 premium scene, you can choose to dance with him and kiss him (again). In Chapter 12, he confides in you about how he was never able to win against a normal wheelman in a street race and that he discovered for himself that he is far away from being the best driver there is. You are able to tell him not to focus on impossible standards but rather on the present. He wants you to know that he is not always brooding. During the race you act as his co-driver, you keep lookout and advise him in difficult situations. After the King's Circuit you have the option of spending time with him alone in Dumont's garage, where the latter houses a collection of fast and expensive cars. In Chapter 13, on the eve of the heist, you may choose to take him to bed. In Chapter 14, if his trust in you is high enough, he will tell you that it is not easy for him to open up but that you have his back.

Peter Graves
If Peter is your Grifter, he tells Fabien in Chapter 12 that they are a lot alike. They're both incredibly handsome, strive to be the best in everything they do and will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

Ansel Crane
In Chapter 14, when your grifter tells Ansel about someone suspicious riding off in a motorcycle, Ansel sets off in pursuit. He gets into a car driven by Fabien, who leads a Blind Man's Chariot, taking him away from the wedding.
