Billaud-Varenne
Danton's part-time clerk, a man of sour temperament: "I can't compromise"
Jean-Nicholas Billaud-Varenne splits his time between clerking for Georges-Jacques Danton and writing anti-clerical screeds. Camille Desmoulins can’t stand him. A fervent Republican from the start, Billaud-Varenne will become a deputy of Paris and a significant member of the Committee of Public Safety during the Terror. He will be a close friend and ally to Collot d’Herbois.
