Michael Mompellion, new to the village assumes the role of the head rector for the Anglican community. Our first insight of Mompellion's character is when the audience is first introduced to him in his state of mourning, mourning over the death of his wife, Elinor. However before the death of his wife and before the Plague took its toll on the village, he was regarded highly amongst the villager as a pillar of strength and knowledge. His high intelligence and his "soothing voice" enables him to persuade the villagers to undergo quarantine. As the book progresses, the villagers and his own perception of hope soon disintegrates and is replaced with hatred and vilification.He loses his faith in god, and this is highlighted when "the bible hit the floor with a dull thump".
 * Description:**

- "Let the boundaries of this village become our whole world. Let none enter and none leave while this Plague last." - "... the exhaused tremor in his body and the lines etched in his face as he struggled to command his voice." -
