Edmond Dantes was a young and successful first mate on a merchant ship. He was young, charismatic, and handsome, he had a beautiful fiance, and he was due to be promoted to Captain on his ship since his captain had been killed.
And two men hated this; Danglars, his junior officer, and Fernand, who was in love with his fiancee. The two of them plot together and have Dantes arrested. While he could be saved by VIllefort, a prosecutor who knew that he was innocent, he is instead wrongfully thrown into prison.
While in prison, he meets a man named Abbe Faria, a priest who had also been wrongfully put there, and he teaches Dantes to be a scholar, allowing Dantes' brilliance to show, as well as telling him of a great treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo. When Dantes eventually did escape prison, he swims from the island dungeon out to a nearby island, showing his great physicality, and he joins up with a group of smugglers, where his already moderate combat skills only get stronger. Eventually, he leaves the smugglers to get his treasure on Monte Cristo, and finds an unimagianable bounty. Purchasing the Island of Monte Criso as a well as the title of Count, Dantes learned to play the part, becoming incredibly skilled with swords and pistols.
When he returns to France disguised as one of his many aliases, he find out that all of his enemies had become wealthy, and, find out as much information as possible, he spends the next few years travelling the world, studying them from afar and piecing together his master plan. Eventually, he returns to France for a final time, where he proves just how cold and cunning he can be.
