Hey Julia! Oh you're in a good place for chaos/drama/angst, we loooove those here. xD
Yassine Bensouda was a few years below him but also went to Beauxbatons! Originates from Morocco, lived in France for a while as well, and moved here in summer 1890 after the quidditch world cup. He's UC but privately happy to associate with anyone, so wouldn't care about Baps' reputation or the rumours – he doesn't think he's got anything to hide, personally, so would prod him about it in fun but also probably kinda enjoy his company? Also likes gambling etc.
At the Ministry: Trystan Selwyn has a publicly-acknowledged bastard, a history of scandalous affairs, and a bunch more secret bastards (some of whom were raised in France actually!) so technically was blackmailable, but also he's a trained Auror so could presumably hold his own against Legilimency. xD
Evander Darrow works in law enforcement and is the driest most boring strait-laced man imaginable, so Baps' slick demeanour (and general Frenchness lol) would have probably rubbed him the wrong way from the start. He would be horrified to bump into anyone even rumoured to have a bad rep in public, lmao, but also very interested in lawbreakers getting their comeuppance.
Kristoffer Lestrange is also at the Ministry, has always been a dick to everybody but might have liked Baps, lol.
Bad rep crowd:
Jay Fox deals in dark items and knows dark people around Knockturn Alley. Also Lady's Hestia!
Ester Montgomery was a middle class married woman before she ran off with a pornographer. Definitely to be seen around bars drinking too much and being disreputable. Will make friends with anyone, she doesn't discriminate. xD
Ishmael is a vampire, also sometimes seen around seedy bars to pick up human bloodbanks, has a general interest in blackmail and illegal favours.
look ANOTHER beautiful bee!set <3
