An intelligent minor politician who moves in Sal and Tony’s orbit and accompanies them on their visit to the prison. Like the other two, he’s presented as sleazy and unconcerned with the public good. At the time of their visit, Sebert is preparing to run against Sal for a leadership position; while they’re held captive by the prisoners, he plots with Tony to kill Sal and frame the prisoners, thus paving the way for his rise to power. It’s this conversation that Felix ultimately uses to blackmail Sebert into dropping out of the race altogether. He corresponds to the character Sebastian in The Tempest.
