Guide Mentor

Character Role Analysis

P. Loxias

Whether you think of P. Loxias as an ordinary man who can't be trusted or as the god Apollo himself, there's no denying that he serves as Bradley Pearson's guide and mentor throughout The Black Prince. Not only is Bradley's narrative dedicated to him, but both Bradley and Loxias also make it clear that the book could never have been written without Loxias's help.
