As a supporting figure in The Triumph of the Scarlet Pimpernel, Armand St. Just is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Robespierre's friend who murmurs fears about the supernatural and stands close to him during the events.
In London drawing rooms Armand St. Just cuts a charming figure, yet he is a Frenchman of republican sympathies moving among the very aristocrats who toast the Scarlet Pimpernel. His sister Marguerite must smile and flirt while her heart aches, and Armand's divided loyalties sit uneasily beside the splendid little band of heroes who form the League. His presence keeps the peril personal, forcing the reader to wonder how far blood ties can stretch before they snap.
