Rochefort and Aramis being narrative foils of each other in the bbc adaptation was honestly such a genius idea. Aramis was ready to sacrifice everything he had, including his life, for those he loved, while Rochefort was set on sacrificing the world and everyone around him, including his loved one*, to get what he wanted. Aramis was fueled by love and devotion, and Rochefort by hatred and selfishness. Admittedly, he'd gone through years of torture, but in a way so had Aramis; he'd gone through Savoy, he'd had to kill his ex-best friend and the only survivor of the Savoy massacre except himself, he saw his first love and the one he thought he had a future with, die because of him, had to stay away from the woman he loved and their son, and yet where Rochefort turned all that pain into hatred, Aramis turned it into love, and he remained pure at heart even when he thought he was going to die.
And when Rochefort dies saying "I am alone", it mirrors how Aramis is not alone, despite what he may think/fear. How his brothers always had and always will have his back, even when he fucks up royally (or fucks royalty, I guess), how despite his pain and his losses he's found a family that loves him. How even after four whole years of him running away, they still wait for him, and they still love him as he loves them. Even when he's at Douai, away from them, he's never truly alone. Unlike Rochefort.
It really shows love and kindness will always triumph over hatred and evil, and that true bonds last forever no matter the time and distance. And I think positioning those two wholly different characters across each other as mirror images was one of the most genius moves the showrunners made.
(*I truly believe that once, Rochefort did love Anne, but he let his pain and hatred turn that love into something dark and corrupted that could no longer be called such, making him a tragic villain, yet one I hate nonetheless and would never be able to excuse. Fuck that guy, honestly.)
