# Milly Macroy — The Crimson Circle character guide

> Milly Macroy in The Crimson Circle by Edgar Wallace.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Milly, Macroy, Miss Macroy, Millie Macroy, Miss Milly Macroy

**First appearance:** 0008-vi-thalia-drummond-is-a-crook

## Snapshot

A sharp-eyed, jealous bank clerk who trades in gossip and grudges, and whose loose tongue about the Crimson Circle may prove more dangerous than she knows.

## Who they are

Milly works alongside Thalia Drummond at Brabazon's bank and moonlights as a conduit between the criminal underworld and the Crimson Circle's operations. She resents Thalia's composure and quick mind, and her wounded vanity after a rebuffed confidence curdles into something unfriendly. Her chatter about money-lenders, diamonds, and her supposed engagement to a wealthy man makes her a useful, if unreliable, source of information for anyone tracking the Circle's movements.
