Who was Alan Breck ?

David Balfour

The first person narrator/hero of the novel, David is a lowland Scotsman from a conservative Presbyterian/Whig background who sets forth on a rite of passage after his parents have both died. He is led to his father's childhood home where his resentful Uncle Ebenezer first tries to kill him and then has him kidnapped.(GradeSaver) There is more to David, too much more to fit in this space. I'm going to give you two source link's which will tell you everything in detail. Please take a look at both.
