There are as many - or as few- revengers in Hamlet as you want there to be.

One could say that Hamlet is seeking vengeance for his father's murder, Laertes is seeking vengeance for his father's murder, and Fortinbras is seeking vengeance for his father's murder - but that is only one way of counting the revengers.

There are more sensible ways of approaching this play.

Francisco is the first, but least important: his watch is too early for him to see the ghost. The other two are Bernardo and Marcellus. They show up early and relieve Francisco because they want to be sure they're the ones to be there when the ghost arrives. All three are low-level Danish officers, who aren't even sure why Elsinore is on such a war-like footing. The only difference between Marcellus and Bernardo is that Marcellus seems to be the one who knows Horatio.
