He arrives in a rush of breath and words, his face red with agitation and his French colored by a German accent. There is an almost startling contrast between his flustered urgency and the fine horse he leads by the bridle.

A young Alsatian dragoon, he appears briefly as a French-speaking prisoner whose German accent and agitation mark him out. He leads a fine, large French horse by the bridle, a vivid passing figure amid the confusion of war. The book gives him no further arc beyond this fleeting encounter.

Description

A young adult man with a noticeably red, flushed face and an agitated, breathless expression. His precise height, build, hair, and eye color are not specified. He is identified as an Alsatian dragoon, so his appearance is that of a French cavalryman in period military dress; the text offers no further details about the uniform. His urgent bearing and the bridle of a fine, large French horse make him memorable.
