A steadfast character who laid the foundations of a revolution that would leave a deep mark on society from his wine shop in a dilapidated, wretched cellar, yet a former servant who, even in the shadow of revenge, retained a modicum of humanity. In his youth, he trained under the command of the famous Dr. Manette, and after his master's terrifying captivity in the Bastille, he took him in, provided him with a sanctuary in the attic, and paved the way for his escape with the English entourage. However, in the meantime, while becoming one of the most secret leaders of the Revolution, he broke the 'Jacques' committees, and by closely observing the deep misery of the people and the cruelty of the aristocrats, he became a commander of this rebellion that would be stained with weapons and blood. Compared to the mind of his wife, Therese, which is fueled by inexhaustible malice, he always carries a pang of conscience against the revolutionary dangers directed at his own master and his tiny baby (Lucie). Even as he takes up arms, storms the dungeons of the Bastille, and fights amidst the gunpowder in those towers, he remains a broken yet powerful man of action looking from the darkness of the story toward hope, driven by his unending respect for his old Doctor.
While once a highly respectful young servant in the dark streets of Paris that paved the way for the French Revolution under the guardianship of the famous Dr. Manette, he shared in his master's tragedy; over the years, he transformed into a rebellion leader, an insurrectionist who, under the mask of an allegedly honest wine merchant, controlled an entire network of weapons and spies.
A dark-skinned, powerful man in his mid-thirties, with broad shoulders that could be considered 'tough guy' build, with curly hair and a strong, energetic presence. He has a dangerous air about him, and his clothes are always simple enough to betray a hurry and fatigue, yet he carries a brawler's edge.
Charles Darnay
Although he is the Doctor's son-in-law, to him, he is at heart an Evremonde aristocrat to be executed, and there is no mercy between them.
Dr. Alexandre Manette
His old master, to whom he sought refuge in his youth, whom he hid and kept alive in the vast world after his imprisonment, and whom he revered even after the revolution.
Madame Therese Defarge
Although she appears more dangerous and intelligent than her husband, their marriage is an absolute collaboration. She is surrendered to her murderous spirit.
