# Landry — The Wolf-Leader character guide

> Landry in The Wolf-Leader by Alexandre Dumas.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Cousin Landry, dear Landry

**First appearance:** 0001-i

## Snapshot

Thibault's cheerful cousin and the head man at the mill, whose heartbreak over the widow Polet makes him an early obstacle Thibault removes without hesitation.

## Who they are

Landry is the kind of relative everyone is glad to see—bright as his mill wheel, singing at his work—until love for the widow Polet grinds him down to melancholy. He confides in Thibault as a cousin and a friend, never suspecting that the man listening is already calculating how to take his place. His unhappiness is the first human cost of Thibault's pact, and his fate lingers in the story's conscience long after he leaves the page.
