Just Add Figaro!

Norma: Joins forces with Norma and Adalgisa; RIP Pollione you're going to have a very confusing (and educational!) 24 hours.

Cosi fan Tutte: just add him and Susanna and enjoy the results

germanico in germania/arminio in germania - offers to be arminio's representative. negotiates with germanico in arminio's place, in the penultimate scenes, and their back-and-forth ( half of which is completely off-topic ) ends in the roman forces backing out of germania ( good ) but also figaro becoming the emperor of rome ( uhhh ). he is crowned while arminio chases germanico around in the background.

giustino - is amanzio's foil. for every piece of malicious advice amanzio gives arianna and/or anastasio, figaro counters with something totally absurd. also intervenes in the sea monster episode and leaves giustino with leocasta at the creature's mercy. thankfully ( i say, half-begrudgingly ), he's also the one to save both of them, via classic Figaro Bullshit.
