12 years old. Once the prettiest boy in the children's village, he has become disfigured after catching Leprosy, which resulted to him being shunned by nearly everyone he once loved. He sets out for the Holy Land in search for a cure. Sweet, gentle, and more than a bit shy, Remy is desperate for companionship and acceptance, and is very willing to over-tax himself to get it. Etienne is the only person other than his family to accept him even with his disease, and he clings tightly to anyone who's willing to tolerate him. Despite his poor circumstances, he remains optimistic and faithful. Three months into the journey, he winds up slowly falling apart. First, he loses all sense of pain, then he goes blind, becomes convinced that he's addicted to sugar (it helps heal his wounds), and has his body more or less collapse under him. At the scene of his death, he was missing his nose and his face is all but rotted away. The state of his body is so hideous that he believes God will turn him away from Heaven in horror.
