# Publius — The Federalist Papers character guide > Publius in The Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton. **Role:** major **Also known as:** Publius IX The Union, the Union **First appearance:** 0001-the-text-of-the-federalist ## Snapshot The shared mask of Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, whose newspaper essays argue a fractured America toward union under one federal roof. ## Who they are Publius is less a man than a chorus: three founders writing as one calm, urgent voice to New York's skeptical public, insisting that the people have always thought right about the Union. The tension is baked into the enterprise — a pseudonym must sound like a single mind while concealing three, and must persuade a wary readership without revealing whose interests are at stake. In the early papers, Publius stakes everything on a single claim: that safety and peace abroad depend on a cordial Union, and that disunion invites the world's wars. ## Relationships ### [Alexander
