Honestly, I don't see the point of this character at all. Because if he gets killed, it will be bad. Maybe he doesn't even exist?
Perhaps we shouldn't forget that Ples exchanged places with someone. He could have "exchanged" for the murder. Since there are only two of them in the newspaper. Or he could have exchanged with the Inspirer.
And the standard-bearer would have died if Ples had exchanged with him...:smile16:
