Pope is a young British general with a sharp, arrogant personality. He was assigned to track down Martin Feeny in Ireland. He embodies the colonial attitude of superiority and entitlement, often displaying disdain toward the Irish population suffering under British rule during the Great Famine. Pope is ambitious and dutiful but also opportunistic, and often blunt. His character is morally conflicted. He can be charismatic and charming to the people he likes. He is neither mean nor nice.
