## Snapshot

Savrola's loyal lieutenant, who watches his leader face down a hostile crowd and believes the revolution cannot fail while such a voice leads it.

## Who they are

Moret is a trusted ally of Savrola, present at the meeting where hired hecklers try to shout the movement down and later at the carriage that carries Lucile to safety. His faith in Savrola is absolute, and his parting words after the speech—that nothing can stop them now—capture the optimism of a conspiracy on the brink of success. He matters as the steady, uncritical second who makes Savrola's brilliance operationally possible.
