Conjurer Character Analysis

Brachiano hires the conjurer, alongside Doctor Julio and Christophero, to ensure that the murders of Isabella and Camillo go off without a hitch. The conjurer is proud of his craft; he laments that many people advertise themselves as conjurers or necromancers without having the skills to back it up. In addition to showing Brachiano “dumb shows” (or pantomimes) of the murders to come, the conjurer also reveals that Lodovico is in love with Isabella.
