Belphégor

French series made by France 2/France 3. I don't remember much from this series because I didn't see enough of episodes and that I was too small to remember it all very well.
This series was very well made, nothing to do with the crappy movies there was later on.
Belphégor is a mysterious, of all black dressed, man with a mask. He has a strange ruby ring with magical powers that enables him to control people's thoughts aswell as powers who make him be able to go through walls. He likes to steal stuff from Le Louvres museum. There is a girl and a guy who are part of a paper and want to get some scoops. I suspect Belphégor to have a crush on the girl of that squad because once, he kidnapped her, and he let her touch his mask and everything, and when seh finally took it off, they cut the scene and later in the show we see the girl and she says she don't remember a thing. But I'll never know for sure because I never saw the last season and the VHS are discontinued. At the end of each episode, Belphégor would always stare at a dancing doll. (I suspect he's insane or something that has to do with a lost love). Anyway, I liked him, always in tight black clothes, roaming around in Le Louvres :P
