He is a small, greasy man with a blonde ponytail. He speaks in an informal dialect with a rhythmic, staccato accent. He is known to be a grave robber and is generally unscrupulous; he is more than happy to take a bribe. He oversees a young assistant and ropes him into his schemes.{{book ref|mb6|12}}{{book ref|mb6|14}}

[[Templeton Fig]], on behalf of the [[Set]] hired Dechamp to keep watch over the graveyard and report any special interest back to him.{{book ref|mb6|12}}
[[Wayne]] and [[Marasi]] came to the cemetery seeking ReLuur's missing [[blessing|spike]], suspecting that part of ReLuur's body may have been buried with the other corpses. Marasi had identified Dechamp as a potential grave robber after noticing inconsistencies reviewing his bank deposits.{{book ref|mb6|11}}{{book ref|mb6|12}} Wayne imitated Dechamp's accent to try and gain his trust. However, as soon as Wayne mentioned what they were looking for, Dechamp called in his assistant and sent him out to "ensure that they would not be disturbed",{{book ref|mb6|12}} which was in fact a code phrase instructing him to inform Fig of Wayne and Marasi's intentions.{{book ref|mb6|14}}
 
 
After Wayne paid a preliminary bribe, Dechamp took his shovel and led them to the mass grave where all of the victims of the explosion were buried. He then told the two of them to take a seat and started digging.{{book ref|mb6|12}} Dechamp paused to drink from his flask while he worked, and declined to share his booze with Wayne.{{book ref|mb6|13}} Moments later, bullets started flying as a hit squad hired by the Set attacked. Dechamp caught several bullets in the initial volley and died immediately. The hit men tried to kill Wayne and Marasi with dynamite, but it was not effective, and Wayne used his Allomancy to dispatch the assailants. Constables soon arrived after hearing the explosion and apprehended the thugs. Dechamp's assistant disappeared.{{book ref|mb6|14}}
