 +**Captain Nemo** is in our world, a character created by [[Verne, Jules|Jules Verne]] for his novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas" ((See [[wp>Twenty_Thousand_Leagues_Under_the_Sea]])). He was born in Bangalore, in the south of India.
  
 +In the Obscure Cities, he is considered to be not only real, but also a great explorer. It is however quite possible that the person known under that name is none other than [[Verne, Jules|Verne]] himself ((Read: [[en:albums:L'Echo des Cités]])). 
 +
 +The image of **Captain Nemo** arriving in the city of [[en:dictionary:samarobrive|]] is used on several occasions. The [[en:dictionary:retour-du-capitaine-nemo-le|original painting]] is by [[en:dictionary:desombres-augustin|Augustin Desombres]].
