Leo Voronsky

Leo was brought to court by Peter as a gift to Catherine, as she seemed unhappy. With Leo, Catherine was free to have a sexual affair because he was sterile. The two fell in love, leading Leo to despise Peter. He happily joined Catherine's conspiracy. However, when the day of the coup came, Peter planned to kill Leo. When he failed, he instead captured Leo, later using his life as a pawn against Catherine. Catherine visited Leo one last time before she continued with the coup, sentencing him to death.
