The recent launch of Fermi has resulted in the discovery of over 50 previously unknown pulsars. One of these, PSR J1741-2054, is the newest member of a very restrictive club whose main members include the Three Musketeers (B0656+14, B1055-52, and Geminga). Nearby middle-aged isolated pulsars, like these, are ideal targets to help us better understand how matter behaves at nuclear densities as they can simultaneously constrain the NS equation of state (EOS) and other important NS properties through their thermal spectra. We discuss the discovery of PSR J1741-2054, (aka d'Artagnan) its bowshock nebula, pulsar wind nebula, and thermal spectrum, focusing on what these properties may tell us about the distance to d'Artagnan and the NS equation of state.
