Antoine Saint Just
Personality: Antoine is a young man fresh out of the reformatory and set free in the chaotic scene of 1789 Paris. Due to circunstances in his earlier life, he loathes injustice and inequality, which he sees consubstantiated in the Bourbon absolute monarchy. His youth, meagre prospects and estranged family fuels in him a strong zeal for the cause, making him run afoul of the Guet in his so-called "Direct Action" for the revolution.
