Darrow's old Red mentor turned senator; founder of the Vox Populi and his principled Senate opponent.
Dancer of Faran, the crippled Sons of Ares leader who first recruited and mentored Darrow, gave up the gun when Mars was freed to take up the senatorial toga and found the Vox Populi—a lowColor 'Voice of the People' party opposing undue Gold influence over the Solar Republic. Having personally liberated over a hundred mines in the brutal 'Rat War' on Mars, he now leads the Senate opposition to Mustang and Darrow, warning that a hero who breaks the Republic's law makes fertile ground for tyrants. He gardens with Darrow's mother Deanna at Silene, confesses his war nightmares, and parts from Darrow as a friend who will nonetheless stand against him—their bond permanently cooled since Darrow gave Dancer's men to Romulus and left them to die on the Rim.
He suspects Darrow is hiding something.
A gray-haired Red with a fatherly, hard-creased face and a bad leg that drags behind him; in laborer's garments with dirt under his nails, though he dons a white wool toga to travel.
Senator and founder of the Vox Populi; Darrow's mentor, conscience, and chief political adversary.
