And you've just got to love what they say about Saint-Just on the page about the French Revolution!
The Dragon: Louis Saint-Just, the "Angel of Death", served as Robespierre's fanatically loyal right hand man, and was sent to carry out his orders across France.
Who knew that Saint-Just: A. Had no thoughts or ideas of his own and B. Was sent across France to carry out Robespierre's orders. Silly me, I had always thought he went to certain parts of France as a representative of the National Convention. Of course, we all know that the National Convention was completely run by that ~villainous dictator~, Robespierre, so I suppose it amounts to the same thing. D:
