Across the Seasons
How this character reads at season scale
Unnamed Royal Soldier serves King Charles IX as rank-and-file enforcer during the 1572 St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre in Paris. Loyal to officers and royal command, he targets Huguenot leaders like Admiral de Coligny with direct assaults on their residences. Dutiful executioner of court orders, he invokes the King's authority to justify violence amid Catholic-Protestant purges. Aggressive and unquestioning, his role advances the monarchy's suppression of Protestant resistance.
