Benedict Juliard

Son of George and Sarah, who died in childbirth. A few weeks shy of his eighteenth birthday, Ben is Francis's youngest hero. When he finds himself dismissed from the stables where he is training to be a jockey, Ben is taken to his father, George, who is mounting a campaign for Parliament. Ben becomes his father's bodyguard and companion throughout the gruelling election, protecting his father from someone who would rather see George Juliard dead than elected.
