Biography:
The "tame Parisian architect" who helps the settlement design their courthouse is brought into Yoknapatawpha as the "captive" of the "man named Sutpen" and Sutpen's ambition to create a "grandiose" plantation (30). The architect is described as a small man "with humorous sardonic undefeated eyes which had seen everything and believed none of it" (30).
Note:
CUT: The unnamed architect, though a distinguished professional in his own country, is enslaved by Sutpen to design and supervise the construction of the latter's plantation house. He also supervises the settlers on the improvement of their courthouse and the street plan for Jefferson.
