Charles Edward Stuart

Not present, but his legacy is one of seething resentment and disillusionment. The McLarens’ mentions of him are laced with bitterness, his name a trigger for their collective grief and anger at the betrayal of the cause they fought for.

Not applicable (off-screen), but his legacy in this moment is one of shame and resentment. The McLarens’ grief and anger are directed at his memory, a focal point for their collective despair.

Initially aggressive and authoritative, but ultimately deceived and compliant, his pride wounded by the Doctor’s ruse.

Aggressively dominant at first, wielding his bayonet as a tool of intimidation. His emotional state shifts to eager compliance as he buys into the Doctor’s ruse, revealing his naïve trust in authority and fear of Jacobite rebellion. There’s a hint of self-importance in his reaction to the "plot," as if he’s been chosen for a critical mission.

Aggressive at first, then suspicious and ultimately deceived, his emotions driven by the Doctor’s performance.
