Combeferre
An incremental progressive and pacifist, methodical and phlegmatic
Jean Prouvaire
A romantic (!), rich, shy and a bit awkward, “intrepid.”
Feuilly
Works as a fanmaker, is preoccupied with national self-determination esp. of countries outside France, will never get over the partition of Poland apparently.
Courfeyrac
Witty, playful and good-humored (but not an asshole, mind), warm
Bahorel
Chatty and sociable, always down for a fight apparently, spendthrift and seems to be without much direction in general, pretty smart though
Laigle (“Bossuet”)
Bald at 25, lost his inheritance in a bad speculation, always unlucky in everything, good-humored esp. in misfortune, inventive, sleeps on his friend’s couches primarily at Joly’s
Joly
23, medical student, has some weird ideas re: electrical currents and magnetism, agreeable but eccentric
Grantaire.
The skeptic, very unattractive, likes to drink and flirt with women?), basically in love with Enjolras
