# Pike — After London character guide

> Pike in After London by Richard Jefferies.

**Role:** supporting

**First appearance:** 0013-vii-the-forest-track-continued

## Snapshot

A figure of the wild margins whose name surfaces where the forest's dangers and the old Romany sorceries begin to close in.

## Who they are

Pike belongs to the shadowed country beyond the castle walls, the world of Bushmen, throw-clubs, and whispered magic that Felix's book of Romany signs describes. He moves at the edge of the narrative as a reminder that the forest is not empty scenery but a place with its own inhabitants, customs, and cruelties. His presence helps turn Felix's romantic venture into something more like a crossing of frontiers.
