Andrew Dorn Character Analysis

Technically, Andrew Dorn is the General’s second-in-command in the Liberation Militia—but Sephy and Callum discover that Andrew is actually a spy. This is because at the beginning of the novel, when Sephy is only 13, she overhears a meeting between Mr. Hadley and Andrew in which Andrew mentions trying to work his way up the ranks in the LM. Several years later, when Callum’s LM cell has kidnapped Sephy, she recognizes him by his ponytail and his expensive brown boots with chains over the heels.
