The Black Brothers: These are Romeo's fellow chimney sweeps in Milan, all young boys. They look out for each other as best they can in a city that takes no interest in their continued existence.

There is, perhaps, a bit of simplicity in many of its characters — those who are freakishly good, and those who are one-sidedly bad ... but there's also great depth in many others. And while I want to crack Anzelmo's head like an egg, I have to admit that he is one sharp little bastard ... and even the characters I don't particularly like are all rather interesting. (Michaelo discounted. Someone run that whiny child over with a carriage and put him out of his misery, please.)

Alfredo: Romeo meets Alfredo en route to Lugnano and after an initially cordial beginning, the two become fast friends. Although Alfredo tells Romeo never to ask of his past, he later voluntarily tells Romeo of his life with his sister Bianca and how his only goal is to become and adult so he can protect her. He can read, which makes Romeo look up to him, as Romeo cannot. Alfredo is a strong and quiet individual, and is fiercely loyal to his friends. When they are sold to different men in Milan, he and Romeo swear a special oath that their friendship will outlast everything.
