Eugéne Vidocq was a convict in the 1700’s. In 1789 he was sentenced to prison for fighting in public. He escaped prison a few times and was finally freed in 1799. From there he opened up a clothes shop where he was blackmailed for many years. Eventually he went to the police where he made them an offer. From there he became one of the most famous undercover detectives of all time, specializing in catching thieves with his many exuberant disguises. After 23 years of working with French police he opened his own detective agency which he ran for 24 years until his death.
