Who discovered fortunato's bones?

I assume you mean Fortunato in Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado - in which case, the answer is that no one discovered them. As the story ends, the narrator/murderer, Montresor, says, "Against the new masonry I re-erected the old rampart of bones. For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them. In pace requiescat!" So, as far as we know, poor Fortunato's bones still lie hidden ....


Who are the characters in 'The Cask of Amontillado'?

Montresor, the protagonist; Fortunato, the antagonist. In addition there are servants who are referred to but never seen and the character Luchesi who also is never seen.

When did the narrator Montresor vow revenge?

In the very first line of the story, Montresor says: "The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could, but when he ventured upon insult I vowed revenge." So the answer is Montresor vows revenge in the first line of the story, but only after Fortunato has already committed a thousand injuries but now has also insulted Montresor. This is significant because it creates some doubt as to the sanity of the narrator, Montresor. He vows revenge not after a thousand "injuries," but only when Fortunato adds insult as well. It is as if the more trivial of the two, injury and insult, has become the most important.
