Wikipedia description:
Joseph-Elzéar Morénas (August 28, 1776 – September 26, 1830) was a French naturalist, botanist, orientalist, spy, and anti-slavery advocate. His multifaceted career spanned from secret intelligence operations against British colonial expansion in India to pioneering anti-slavery activism during the Bourbon Restoration. Though historically enigmatic and sometimes contradictory, Morénas was notable for his scientific knowledge, linguistic skills, and evolving political convictions.
