Between the late 1950s and the early 1970s, he made a daring attempt to beat the French state-run betting system. Williams has also stated that his portrayal of the role is based in part on Avery Brooks' character Hawk on the series Spenser: For Hire.

Yet at the time this assessment of my situation seemed to me as remarkable as Sherlock Holmes’s deductions always did to Dr Watson.Finally Monsieur X was saying, with a certain severity, and as if with an authority which was nothing to do with the disparity of our ages, that I must seek to know and understand these things, that I must not allow myself to become content with outward life alone, and so seek nothing more than the fulfillment of ambition, the securing of a livelihood and an approved position among my fellow men.

Patrice De Moutis was either a phenomenal punter who fell into a situation that went out of his control or somebody who let his contempt for the Pari Mutuel system lead him into fraudulentl activities. This is a book that I had found hard to put down once Patrice Des Moutis (Monsieur X) started betting on Trifectas (Tierce in French). It is a 'game of two halves' - the early coups seem to be masterminded solely by himself using his tremendous knowledge of the form book, trainers and jockeys.Of one thing I am now quite sure: Monsieur X was no more a “professional fortune-teller” than he was a retired naval officer. Steven Williams has noted that he feels the episodes " Nisei" and "731" were chiefly responsible for the character's popularity with fans. Jamie Reid doesn't explicitly state exactly what De Moutis' role was behind the scenes with the (pretty obviously) fixed later races, I get the impression that he started out as a an admirer of Monsieur X who became disillusioned by his resorting to criminal associates to beat the races.

When he spoke of things which had already happened in the past I could of course test them there and then by memory. This long-running cat and mouse game – with the law on one side and des Moutis and the gangsters on the other – is a dazzling tale of glamour, riches, violence and ultimately tragedy. But the terraces of the Deux Magots were spacious, and the eastern one overlooked the Place St Germain and the grey stones of the church’s western façade; and the glass screens and glowing braziers made it possible, even in autumn or winter, to avoid the café’s interior, which was rather too pompous and rather too frowned down upon by the two grotesques themselves. At Meisterdrucke, you have the fascinating option to visualize the artwork you configured directly in your own space. He was saying, however, that the inward world is largely closed to us, though this, hardly aware of its existence as we are, we may fail to realize, just as we may fail to realize that this inward world can be opened to us if we seek the right means to that end.Yet perhaps we also have memory of the future, though we are not normally aware that we have, and it may have been upon my own unconscious memories of what was then my future that this unusual man was able to draw in some way which is beyond our ordinary understanding. Trapped on a train car equipped with a time bomb, Mulder, about to escape, is attacked brutally by the Red Haired Man, a Men in Black assassin.
