First appearance: I
As a supporting figure in The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, Sir Andrew Ffoulkes is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Accompanies the Scarlet Pimpernel and comments on the cowardice of the crowd.
Ffoulkes is the reliable counterweight to the Pimpernel's maddening insouciance — the friend who watches, worries, and prepares while his chief shrugs off warnings of Kulmsted's disloyalty. He belongs to the tight brotherhood of English gentlemen who risk fortune and life for strangers across the Channel. In an expedition shadowed by betrayal, his constancy matters because it shows what the League is at its best: courage that does not need an audience.
