This is a list of characters that don't have their own article. For more characters, see Category:Characters and Category:Groups.

Direct Relations

The Adversary

The Adversary is a creature from an Outer Plane that stalks the Deep. It is described as "dark and predatory" and "a genocidal force of nature". Viscous says that if the Adversary isn't stopped, "he will come for everything".

Apollo's Father

The current royal ruler of North Ixia, Apollo's father is referred to as a warlord and has the authority equivalent to a governor and a general.

Apollo is proud of his father and believes his father is proud of him. While mentioned that Apollo's father expects great things from him, Apollo claims that he isn't fighting in the ritual for his father. Apollo inherited his sword from his father.

Apollo's father says "loyalty is everything" and "the first step to victory begins with crushing the enemy's hope".

Blockhead Lenny

One of the sideshows at Coney Island, Lenny is friends and coworkers with Celeste. He's implied to be stubborn, and is possibly the friend of Celeste who sold part of their soul to cover a gambling debt. Lenny once got beaten by Lash in the Bear Pit. Part of Lenny's act includes knife throwing.

Bryce

The brother of Paige, Bryce was a rebellious teen who wanted to use his family's bibliomancy for his own desires. A few years before the ritual, he was kicked out of his family's house for unknown reasons, and has been missing since. Paige is participating in the ritual to find out what happened to Bryce and to restore her family.

Bryce used to hang out with Vyper and is described by Paige as a "curmudgeon". Venator believes Bryce is beyond saving, expressing remorse that Paige has "thrown away her life to save someone who doesn't deserve it". Haze believes Paige would be happier if she lets her brother go.

Captain Murphy

Captain Murphy is Holliday's contact in the New York Police Department. She uses his help to track down The Troubadour. Yamato threatens to kill Murphy should Holliday not "play her part" during the ritual.

Cinnamon

The Lich

The Lich is the necromatic mentor of Graves. The lich is female, although they currently only exist as a severed hand, which Graves found in a sealed lead box at a cemetery.

The Lich taught Graves how to cast Jar of Dead, and seems to be the one casting Borrowed Decree in-game.

Graves idolises the Lich and considers her her best friend. While Graves deeply trusts the Lich, there are implications that the Lich is just using her to get what she wants. While occasionally warned about the dangers of a lich's hand, Graves ignores the warnings.

The Lich knows Grey Talon and warns Graves of him.

The Lich wants Abrams' Tome.

Nashala Dion

Nashala Dion is a Djinn ambassador, who has employed Mirage to work as her bodyguard and companion. Mirage enjoys Nashala's company, but he also finds her "impulsive, short-sighted" decisions "frustrating". She (and Mirage) are currently in New York attempting to arrange a deal so the Djinn can buy a portion of Wyoming.

Sandra

Someone who Mina knows that thinks Lash is hot.

Seigfried

Somebody who Calico assassinated under Mirage's nose.

Viscount Simon

Simon is the vampire viscount of New York.

Yamato (The Brother)

Main article: Seventh Moon

Kaori's brother Yamato (not to be confused with the playable Yamato) was one of the co-leaders of the Seventh Moon before he lost his life saving Kaori from a coup. The goal of expanding the Seventh Moon to America was Yamato's dream. After his death, Kaori took on her brother's name to honor his memory and live out his dream.
