Augustine St. Claire is one of the slave holders that we get most acquainted with in the story. St. Claire owns a huge estate in Kentucky outfitted with a dozen or so servants. Since he as acquired much wealth and property, his personality is very careless and free-spirited. His lenient nature has caused most of his servants to become spoiled and corrupt in the abnormal privileges they are given. St. Claire's view on the issue of slavery is shaky and uncertain, but we do find that he does have a heart for his servants and stands more on the anti-slavery side of the fence.
