The coup-maker Politico, publicly unmasked and humiliated by Darrow, then killed by the Peerless he betrayed with.
Pliny's brief triumph ends when Darrow drills through the deck of the captured Invictus into the command room where Pliny hosts his turned bannermen, the Fury Moira, and the Storm Knight. With Lorn au Arcos carving a lethal path—'if anyone comes within two meters of Darrow, I kill everyone in this room'—Darrow indicts Pliny as a traitor who tried to destroy Augustus's house, forcibly marry Mustang, and kill the Jackal. Refusing cruelty, Darrow humiliates him instead: slapping him like a child, straightening his hair, and making him kiss the House Mars ring before the assembled Peerless, then walking away.
As Moira and the Storm Knight step aside, the wind-chasing Golds who followed Pliny cut him down the moment Darrow abandons him—his power revealed as a dream, forgotten before his body cools.
A tall Gold Politico with long fingers and painted lips, one eye lost to Mustang and replaced with a temporary bionic, hair combed and dragonfly pin polished; then dead.
Augustus's traitor Politico; his coup collapses and he is executed by his own allies.
