As a supporting figure in The Council of Justice, Charles Garret is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Star reporter for the Megaphone; feigns fear of the Four Just Men but secretly visits Jessen to gather information.
Garret moves through the case as a working reporter, chasing the inquest's omissions and the strange reappearance of men who should be dead. Warned off Jessen by Falmouth, he still whistles at what he finds in the Carlby Mansions flat, sensing a Government arrangement too philosophical to explain. His curiosity makes him the reader's proxy, dragging the shadow war between the Four Just Men and the Red Hundred into the open.
