Through the lie of Edmond’s demise Mercedes marries Fernand, though she never stops loving Edmond. Mercedes is the only one whom Edmond both punishes (for her disloyalty) and rewards (for her enduring love and underlying goodness). Fernand - Male playing age 20-35 -Tenor/Strong Falsetto ( Rock) Edmond’s best friend and rival for Mercedes’ affections. Fernand aids in framing Dantes for treason and then marries Mercedes himself when Edmond is imprisoned. Through acts of treachery Fernand becomes the leader of the Marseille survivors. Danglar - male 20-50 Baritone/Tenor A greedy, envious cohort of Fernand. Danglar hatches the plot to frame Edmond for treason. After the war he becomes wealthy and powerful, but loses everything when Monte Cristo takes his revenge. Danglar’s obsession with wealth makes him an easy target for Monte Cristo, who has seemingly limitless wealth on hand to exact his revenge. Villefort - male playing age 20-45 - Tenor/Strong Falsetto The blindly, ambitious public prosecutor responsible for sentencing Dantes to life in prison. Forever haunted by his past actions, Villefort becomes a man of God after the war. Once confronted by a ghost from the past he takes his own life. Abbe Faria - male playing age 30+ Baritone/Tenor ( can be a character part vocally, singing not essential). A priest and brilliant thinker whom Edmond meets in prison. Abbe Faria becomes Edmond’s intellectual father: during their many years as prisoners, he teaches Edmond history, science, art, and many languages. On his deathbed he reveals to Dantes a hidden treasure. Abbe Faria is the most important catalyst in Edmond’s transformation.
