Town Square Rider

A local townsman caught in the crossfire of Count Federico's execution plot in San Martino's town square. Caught unawares while mounted, he becomes an incidental obstacle in the Doctor's escape, unhorsed with decisive efficiency. His presence highlights the collateral cost of the Doctor's desperate gambit—a fleeting human pawn in a larger game of power and survival. There is no indication of his alignment or deeper motives beyond being in the wrong place at the wrong moment.
