**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Procurio

## Snapshot

A dark, mysterious manservant in full evening dress who reads newspapers by the hot water pipes and rigs Salteena for a royal levee.

## Who they are

Procurio glides through the Earl's compartments with a superior smile, laying out razors, deciding bath temperatures, and improvising a court costume from black evening wear and silver paper. He is at once servant and stage manager, whispering confidences about dressing gowns and correcting Salteena's ignorance with firm politeness. His quiet competence makes him the engine of the book's finest comic set-piece.
