# Enjolras — Les Misérables character guide > Enjolras in Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. **Role:** supporting **Also known as:** VI Enjolras, Shadow Enjolras **First appearance:** 0032-book-iii-in-the-year-1817 ## Snapshot A beautiful, unbending young republican who leads the students of the ABC with the calm of someone already married to an idea. ## Who they are He is the soul of the barricade before there is a barricade: a leader who commands by purity rather than volume, and who treats the coming revolution as a matter of logic and duty. His severity is almost priestly — he has no private life to speak of, and his friends tease him for it — but it is precisely that severity that makes the group cohere. When the fighting comes, he is the figure against whom every other insurgent's commitment is measured. ## In the story ### [Volume III: Marius](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/les_miserables_se/chapters/volume-iii-marius) Leader of the Friends of the ABC, a revolutionary student group that Marius becomes involved with. ### [The Friends of the A.B.C.](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/les_miserables_se/chapters/book-iv-the-friends-of-the-a-b-c) Introduced as the leader of the Friends of the A.B.C., a charismatic and dedicated revolutionary. ### [A Group Which Barely Missed Becoming Historic](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/les_miserables_se/chapters/i-a-group-which-barely-missed-becoming-historic) Described as the leader, an only son and wealthy, angelically handsome, with a passion for the right and a single thought to overthrow obstacles.
