Dramatis Personae Col. George Washington is a handsome, kind and heroic officer leading the British troops in the Ohio territory. You fell in love with him when he was a diplomatic envoy attempting to entreaty your husband, Captain Louis Coulon de Villiers. Captain Louis Coulon de Villiers is your husband via arranged marriage. He is also leader of the French army, the largest force in the region. You don’t love him, but you do recognize that he is a skilled military commander. Ensign Joseph Coulon de Jumonville is your husband’s brother, and is seen by the family as a bit of an incompetent. Half-King Tanacharison leads the Iroquois, and helped Washington last year. He hates the French for supposedly killing his father, though no sane person believes his wild tales of cannibalism. “French Margaret” Montour is Washington’s half Seneca half-French translator. She is always around Washington and talks about how much she admires him, but a half-breed like her would never be worthy of him. Keep her away from your man. Shingas the Terrible is the crude and savage war leader for the Delaware tribe. Heaven help us all if the French Empire should need the help of a monster like Shingas. Guyasuta, Washington’s Seneca guide with strong secret French loyalties and inclinations. Killbuck Gelellemend and White Eyes, young Delaware braves. Captain Claude-Pierre Contrecoeur, garrison commander of Fort Duquesne.
