First appearance: I
As a supporting figure in The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, Citizen Laporte is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
The infamous doctor in Lyons, considered too dangerous to trust with the Vicomte's care.
Laporte moves through the corridors of Revolutionary justice as a man hungry for the crowning triumph of his career: the indictment and execution of the notorious English spy. He clashes with Chauvelin over how best to destroy their elusive enemy, preferring a sensational public trial to a quiet death among a batch of traitors.
