Lonnie Gordon
One of Felix’s nemeses and a provincial politician, first Minister of Heritage and later Minister of Justice. Having disliked Felix since they attended high school together and fought frequently, Sal assists Tony with his coup and later takes the other man under his wing as a fledgling politician. Like Tony, he’s often more concerned with his own profit than the public good—for example, he plans to cancel the prison’s theater program simply in order to appear “tough on crime” to his constituents. However, he’s differentiated from Tony by his sincere love for his son, Frederick; he also becomes more sympathetic when Tony plots to kill him while they’re held captive in the prison. By the end of the novel Sal has apologized for his behavior and seems to have reformed himself somewhat. He corresponds to the character Alonso in The Tempest, the King of Naples and father of Ferdinand.
