The Anarchist opposes the Watchmaker's rule and represents the chaos and liberty that exists outside Albion's well-ordered society. He ends up being something of a coach to Owen, directing him on his journey and encouraging him to question the world around him. Meanwhile, Francesca represents imagination and self-expression, inspiring Owen to imagine a various way of life beyond the strict boundaries of the Watchmaker's strategy.
