Pantalon

Forged by Platinum in the earliest days of creation, Pantalon stands among the Four Ancients as one of the Midnight Circus's most venerable automata. His entire existence revolves around serving the puppet Francine, driven by an obsessive pursuit to make her laugh. Beneath his refined, gentlemanly exterior lies a cold contempt for humankind — yet as the story unfolds, he undergoes a quiet transformation, gradually grasping the deeper meaning of life and laughter. In his final moments, he chooses to fight for those he holds dear, cementing his place as a figure of profound, tragic nobility.
