Prince Charles Edward Stuart

Exiled in Paris and desperate for backers, the young Stuart pretender spends his days charming nobles and plotting the rising that will restore his father's throne. He is warm, vain, and endlessly persuasive, certain of his own destiny even as he begs for money and soldiers he does not yet have.

Andrew Gower plays him as a man in love with his own legend, all wounded pride and theatrical conviction, so that his charisma feels genuine even when his judgment clearly isn't. The show lets you enjoy his company while quietly showing you the gap between the romance he believes in and the cost of it.
