The crippled Sons leader, reunited with Darrow, who reveals Harmony's betrayal and understands Darrow's need to go home.
Dancer, the crippled Red who first recruited Darrow, is joyfully reunited with him at the Sons' Agea warehouse—alive despite Harmony's lie of his death. He recounts the truth: Harmony went rogue, murdered Senators on the Gorgon Sea, and abandoned the cause, her betrayal drawing the lurcher raid that killed Matteo and forty Sons before Ares—Fitchner—saved them and revealed himself a Gold. Untroubled that Ares is Gold ('it doesn't bother him that we're Reds'), Dancer honors Ares as the man who started the rebellion out of his own grief.
Present for the unveiling of the plan to make Darrow Sovereign, he alone reads Darrow's heart: that his wish to return to Lykos is really a need for his family's—and Eo's—blessing before he lets Augustus adopt him.
A weathered Red in his forties, old for his Color, hair shot with gray, right arm limp and foot dragging, yellow-nailed and smelling of tobacco, with a wide gap-toothed smile.
Darrow's living mentor; a Sons of Ares leader who grounds him in the cause and his heart.
