## Snapshot

A bold colonel whose taste for intrigue and quick eye for a rakehell make him a useful ally in the tangled affairs of the town.

## Who they are

Colonel Dare moves through the clubs and routs of London with a soldier's bluntness, quick to spot Lovelace as a dangerous new element in Lady Lavinia's circle. His observations and willingness to act give the early chapters a thread of practical vigilance amid the drawing-room manoeuvring. He stands as one of the few men in the story who sees trouble coming and says so plainly.
