Prologue ~ Two Officers

1^st April 1813, Thursday

Thieves night, his older brother had called it, back when they’d run together.  They’d taken to the dark streets, smashed locks to steal pastries or sausages, pried open windows to climb into dark rooms and stolen locked boxes with their stashes of coins.  Pierre never knew who Mattias worked for.  Belly stuffed with iced rolls or spiced sausage, he had trailed behind his brother.  Until the gendarmes caught Mat with a hand stuck in the alms box.

Hidden behind a dark column, he’d frozen when the gendarmes appeared.  Then black wings flapped before his face.  Pierre ran until his sides hurt and his too-tight shoes split along the worn sides.  He’d abandoned his brother, a betrayal that had never left him.

The next day he ran on to Marseilles and re-invented himself as Pierre LeCuyer.

Wait, one's a one;  it can't be two.  One can't be them.

I'm all confused.  Clear Pronoun Reference to the Rescue.
