Description:
Described as a tough, mysterious, and confident man who was a soldier from Africa(relates to Blore in that way b/c Blore said he was from Africa too). He is far more cunning/bolder than others but his mistake is the fact that he underestimated a woman(Claythorne)
Accused of:
During the gramophone session, he's accused of causing the deaths of East African tribesmen after he stole their food. Marston and him are the only characters that openly confess their sins nonchalantly.
Death by:
Soon after the gramophone stops playing, he confesses to what he has been accused of nonchalantly. Then he says those tribesmen are used to dying all the time. Throughout the story, he mostly bonds with Vera Claythorne having many private conversations with her. In the end, he's shot dead by Claythorne under the sun/close to the sea because of her suspicions (he underestimated her).
"Two little Soldier Boys sitting in the sun;
One got frizzled up and then there was one."
Ver 2 of this verse-
"Two little Soldier boys playing with a gun; One shot the other and then there was One."
Wargrave's Confession:
Wargrave's letter reveals that since both Claythorne and Lombard thought they were the only ones alive in the island so it's natural that they became suspicious of each other. Claythorne managed to snatch the gun first and kill Lombard.
