Before the story derails, Orpho (later called Sonny)  was meant to be its protagonist. He’s the quintessential charismatic, spoiled hero wannabe who has the final say in anything the group does. He speaks with authority and zeal that all too often slips into whining or a smug jeer. Having grown up with no real threats, he is ignorantly fearless. When real harm is introduced, he becomes a clueless, sniveling mess unable to hold his own.
