Number 27
Prisoner Number 27 communicates with Dantès through the wall, revealing he has been imprisoned since 1811 and mistakenly dug into the castle's foundation instead of the sea. After establishing trust with Dantès, he signals his location and physically emerges from a hole in the floor of Dantès's cell to make contact.
