# Señor Gregori — Kate Plus 10 character guide

> Señor Gregori in Kate Plus 10 by Edgar Wallace.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Gregori, Gregori the Kicker, the gallant Gregori

**First appearance:** 0000-i-eighty-three-pearls-on-a-string

## Snapshot

A flamboyant conspirator known as 'the Kicker,' Gregori barricades doors and vanishes into the dusk while Michael's bullets ricochet off steel.

## Who they are

Gregori belongs to the shadowy crew operating the engine works, a man whose nickname suggests both menace and theatrical flair. When Michael pounds on the locked door demanding entry in the name of the law, Gregori answers only with a shuffle, an oath, and silence — then escapes with his confederates while hoisting the unconscious Dr. Garon into the locomotive cab. His cool evasion in the grey dusk shows how slippery Kate's organization is, and why Michael's pursuit keeps slipping through his fingers.
