about Assane Diop
Assane Diop is the lead of the Netflix series Lupin, a Parisian gentleman thief inspired by the novels of Maurice Leblanc. His father Babakar, a Senegalese immigrant, was framed for stealing a diamond necklace and died in prison when Assane was fourteen. This version is set in the middle of Part 4.
Assane is known for disguises, misdirection and a calm showman's charm. He bid on Marie Antoinette's necklace at the Louvre under the name Paul Sernine, an anagram of Lupin, and later faked his own death and stole the Black Pearl. In Part 4 he is in prison, wants to keep a promise to take his son Raoul to Senegal, and must face a copycat who is committing museum thefts in Lupin's name.
