André-Charles Brottier (1751–1798), was a
French royalist who sought the violent overthrow of the
Directory.
He was born to wealthy parents in town of
Tannay, Nivernais in 1751. He left the town following a fire which destroyed most of his father's property. In 1794 he was recruited into the "Paris Agency" - an organisation set up by the ambassador for Spain, Fernan Nunes, to provide intelligence for his government. It was subsequently taken over by the
Comte d'Antraigues.
