Filibuster turned contract scalp-hunter, nominally in command. The engine of the gang's slide from bounty work into indiscriminate slaughter. Authority with none of the judge's metaphysics.

The kid is the resistance the judge requires. His silence and his withheld mercy are the only counterweight in the novel, and the ending only lands because he refused.
Glanton commands the gang and drives its descent; Tobin only narrates it. Command carries more of the plot than testimony does.
The distance between the judge and Glanton is the distance between a principle and its instrument. Very wide.
