Ravachol is a revolutionary, presumably Sidhe and presumably Unseelie, and leader of the Ranters.
Overview[]
Ravachol is a shadowy figure at best. Many believe that he is a former sidhe noble, perhaps of House Dougal. No one knows for sure. He is an ardent and violent revolutionary who deplores sidhe rulership in all its forms. The Ranters despise the more moderate forces among the sidhe almost as much as they hate the Traditionalists. Many nobles feel that there really isn't a Ravachol, that he is a fictional figure akin to General Ludd (the fictional leader of the Luddites). He is often depicted as a black cat trickster in the common folklore of his supporters.
The Ranters are not faint-hearted, armchair revolutionaries. They are the real thing. Despite their occasionally just accusations of the sidhe nobility, the Ranters often go far beyond the pale. They are responsible for numerous atrocities, though they never harm commoners. Ravachol is personally charged with over 40 terrorist actions, including kidnapping and murder. The authorities have yet to catch him, however, and with each narrow escape, his popularity among the disaffected Kithain of Concordia grows. Many believe that, despite his violent activities, Ravachol subscribes to a strong internal code of honor.
