[[folder:Stark]]
!!Mira
->'''Voiced by:''' Deeivya Meir
->''"Well, this shitty shitting shit just got real."''
Owner of a robot junk shop in Europolis, Stark and an acquaintance of the late Burns Flipper from ''TLJ'' and the late Olivia de Marco from ''Dreamfall''. Originally from India, now in her late 20-ies.
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:She makes a brief, unvoiced appearance in the final book when Zoë contacts her to get Wit's help in shutting down the Engine.]]
* ClusterFBomb: Or S-Bomb. Some variation of "shit" is easily her most commonly used word. Turns to full-blown F-bombs in Book Two.
%%* EyepatchOfPower
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Wit, who towers over her. In a ironic reversal, it's Wit who requires Mira's protection, despite his size.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: Mira teases Wit, but will not allow anyone else to do so.
* HellBentForLeather: Wears an old-style leather jacket.
* IronLady: You don't fuck with Mira.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her abrasive attitude, she can act quite nice at times, even though she claims she is only doing so begrudgingly. Her RebelliousSpirit also motivates her to come to Zoë's aid in her fight against TheConspiracy. Also, when she asks for a favour of Zoe, she doesn't ask for her paying or doing an errand...she asks her to go home and be safe.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Her relationship with Wit. She essentially views him as a younger brother.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Calls Wit a 'retard' and claims he is probably faking his autism.
!!Wit
A humble technical genius in Mira's employment.
* ArtificialLimbs: His right leg and left arm and mechanical.
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:Zoë contacts him to get his help shutting down the Engine in the final book.]]
* ElectronicEyes: His googles make his eyes look permanently yellow.
* GentleGiant: Physically enormous, wouldn't hurt a fly.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Mira, whom he towers over.
* IdiotSavant: Genius with tech, but cannot communicate with anyone but Mira.
* TheSilentBob: He communicates entirely non-verbally.
!!Dr. Roman Zelenka
->'''Voiced by:''' Mark Healy
Zoë's psychotherapist who helps her restore her lost memories.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: He's been feeding details about Zoë to Falk Friedman.]]
* PutOnABus: Zoë loses contact with him in the timeskip between Books 2 and 3. She suspects that he left Propast in wake of its increasing transformation into a police state. [[spoiler: But considering that Friedmann was saying he has become useless, he might also...]]
* ShipTease: Flirting with him is an option.
!!Nela Vlček
->'''Voiced by:''' Miranda Raison
A food vendor in Propast, with whom Zoë tries to be friends but their different political agendas can put a strain on their relationship (Nela is a Marxist, Zoë supports social democrats).
* ForcedIntoEvil: Variation. Queenie believes that Nela was [[spoiler: tricked, thinking she would set off an EMP instead of an antimatter bomb. However, Nela learned the truth before the bomb went off. She goes through with it, in order to bring [=WATICorp=] down. She plays the rest of the trope straight, realizing innocent people will be killed and deeply regrets their lives will be lost. In the end, she does succeed at this.]]
* PeekABangs: Played straight, though mostly for style.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: In Book Two, Nela will admit to Zoë that her party is having some debate about whether to work with the system or go full-on revolutionary. [[spoiler:In her next appearance, she [[SuicideAttack suicide-bombs]] an EYE checkpoint]].
* UnwittingPawn: Subverted. [[spoiler: It's implied during Chapter Three that someone tricked Nela into suicide bombing the checkpoint, convincing her it was just an EMP to disrupt the EYE. However, she figured out the truth. She detonated the bomb anyway, because [=WATIcorp=] would have killed her, covered it up, and triggered another attack if she didn't. She reasons that, since [=WATIcorp=] is getting what it wants, they won't bother to cover anything up until it is too late to do anything about it.]]
!!Süleyman "Sully" Sadik
->'''Voiced by:''' Nathaniel Parker
Reza's editor at the Hand That Feeds and Zoë's admirer.
* BigFun: He has a happy, easy-going attitude and likes to jokingly flirt with Zoë. Zoë implies that part of it might just be him putting on a brave face, since he has recently been going through a rather ugly divorce.
* CarpetOfVirility: Of the fat slob variety.
* IntrepidReporter: He's the newspaper's editor, but he fulfills all of the trope.
!!Queenie
->'''Voiced by:''' Susan Brown
The informal leader of Bricks (essentially, Propast's Chinatown).
* TheAtoner: She mentions spending the second half of her long life making up for the mistakes she did in the first one.
* CoolOldLady: She has managed to keep her businesses out of Mr London's blackmailing scheme, is the most respected person in her neighborhood, has a knack for picking up on subtle things about people, and has a hovering teacup. Zoë admits that she kind of want to be Queenie when she gets to be old--not "like Queenie" but actually be her.
* FemmeFatalons: Subverted. She's got them, but she's a nice lady.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: Queenie is an almost comically small old Asian lady.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: If you [[spoiler:tell the truth about the Social Democrats possibly being corrupt, she'll refuse to endorse them despite having promised it in return for your help. However, she still owes a favor, and makes it clear she'll pay up if Zoë ever needs one]].
!!Hanna Roth
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JessicaHenwick
The ''de facto'' leader of the teenage gang, "The Dragonflies", in Propast, who disappeared several days before Queenie asks Zoë to find her. She is a Dreamer like Zoe, although her powers are presumably a lot weaker.
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: Like Zoe. She was the second child created, whereas Zoe was the first.]]
* AstralProjection: Like Zoe, she can project herself into other worlds. Her powers are indicated to be less advanced, though, and she isn't aware of the true scope of what she's doing.
* ButchLesbian: She's got the punk look down and her love interest is the more [[LipstickLesbian conventionally attractive]] Abby.
* {{Courier}}: Her main source of income comes from organizing and making deliveries of goods her clients would rather have goes unnoticed by the EYE.
* ReluctantRuler: She doesn't like the notion that the other members of "The Dragonflies" look to her as their leader, still she is fiercely protective of them and she is so respected that her word often ends up being the last in an argument.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Her clothes flatten her bustline, and her short stature in comparison to Zoe's StatuesqueStunner makes her look like a pre-teen. Her kissing scene with Abby is a little awkward as a result.
* PutOnABus: She leaves Propast for Mumbai during Book 3. [[spoiler:While this puts her in proximity to Zoë's final confrontation with Helena, Helena dismisses Hanna as a threat and she never appears again.]]
!!Falk Friedman
->'''Voiced by:''' Tim Bentinck
A "Corporate Jäger", i.e. a BountyHunter employed by corporations to take care of dirty, off-the-books business. He haunts Zoë as she is trying to establish a new life in Europolis.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Classy and elegant in a suit that probably costs thousands.
* CharacterDeath: As a possible outcome of player choices. [[spoiler:In Book Three, if Zoë tosses her Dreamer at him, he gets shot in the chest. Though he doesn't die on the spot, it's made clear when the game recounts player choices.]]
%%* CorporateSamurai
* DissonantSerenity: He's completely stoic and placid while [[spoiler: gunning down EYE's after Zoë. Even if he's shot in the chest.]]
* FourEyesZeroSoul: [[spoiler: Possibly. He can kill without remorse, although he is killing EYE's trying to kill Zoe.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: His introduction has him lighting up a cigarette in a rather sinister manner as he spies on Zoë's apartment.
* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler: He actually is not hunting Zoë... he's ''protecting'' her -- albeit on the orders of her mother.]]
* IcyBlueEyes: Fits with his job as a hunter.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Arcadia]]
!!Shepherd
->'''Voiced by:''' Adjoa Andoh
The Samare leader of the resistance.
* BigGood: She's the leader of the resistance and thus the last hope of the magicals races of Marcuria.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:She dies at the end of Book 4 if Kian brought Likho to Ge'en.]]
!!Enu-Mar Sand'ya
->'''Voiced by:''' Jessica Henwick
Enu-Mar Sand'ya, Twilight Child, Daughter of Te'a-Mar is a member of the anti-Azadi resistance in the Northlands.
* DeadpanSnarker: Frequently.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: She makes more than a few remarks about Kian being attractive without meaning to. Later, she blurts out that Zoe is also very attractive.
* MotorMouth: She has a bit of a problem about knowing when to pause whenever she has started talking.
* OverlyLongName: The girl has quite a lot of epithets (second only to April, in fact).
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: She has a tendency to blurt out rather embarrassing statements at time.
* PointyEars: As befits a Zhid, one of the fantasy races inhabiting Arcadia.
* PragmaticHero: She really doesn't like the fact that [[spoiler: Kian can choose to let a man who had sex with a young Dolmari go]], but she does think it's worth it to have a spy in the Tower.
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the wild and emotional red to Likho's (and to a lesser extent, Kian's) blue. She even wears red.
* TheSpock: As opposed to Likho's [[TheMcCoy McCoy]], she gravitates towards more pragmatic solutions to problems and moral questions, even if she doesn't like it.
* SomeCallMeTim: She knows her name is kind of a mouthful, and since her parents aren't around to make a fuss about it she prefers just to go by "Enu".
* TalkativeLoon: Downplayed, but she's kinda out there. And she does not shut up.
!!Likho
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaveFennoy
A Dolmari resistance member with a old grudge against Kian that he is still hoping to pay back some day.
* FireforgedFriends: He bonds with Kian if Kian allows him to join the mission to Ge'en.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:If Likho is left behind by Kian when he goes to Ge'en, Likho ends up getting killed during the raid on the rebel base, but he goes down fighting and manages to save Shepherd in the process.]]
* TheMcCoy: As opposed to Enu's [[TheSpock Spock]], in a dark sense; despite his stoic surface he often puts RevengeBeforeReason, and can therefore be impulsive and rash where Enu usually is able to keep a cool head and think of the bigger picture.
* TheNotLoveInterest: While Likho and Kian are both gay and the two of them can become very close, they come to consider themselves to be brothers and not lovers.
* RedOniBlueOni: It's not a surprise the blue guy is the stoic, straight-laced one.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He dies at the end of Book Four if Kian didn't let him accompany him to Ge'en.]]
* StraightGay: If you brought him along for the trip in Book Four, he stops just short of saying this outright. The intent is fairly clear, though.
* TheStraightMan: Plays this to the more goofy Enu.
* SuperReflexes: If Kian fails to perform the ArrowCatch in ''Book 2'', he does it instead.
* TortureAlwaysWorks: A strong believer in this.
* WhyCantIHateYou: If brought along at the end of chapter 3 Likho expresses his frustration at this to Kian, saying Kian's actions are making him difficult to hate.
* YouKilledMyFather: He has a vendetta against Kian for the death of his father, which Kian was involved in. [[spoiler:If Likho survives the game, he decides to forgive Kian.]]
!!Jakai Salmin
->'''Voiced by:''' Stuart Martin
The nephew of Benrime Salmin. He used to be a merchant who frequently traded with the Azadi, but after his aunt was imprisoned in the previous game, Jakai realized the error of his ways and joined the resistance.
* FakeDefector: [[spoiler:It's implied that he only joined the resistance so he could sell them out to the Azadi for a quick buck.]]
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler:Vamon pays Jakai plenty of coin for giving him the location of the resistance's base. And then Vamon throws in a bonus fatal stab to Jakai's heart.]]
!!Ulvic the Ever-Thirsty
->'''Voiced by:''' Nathaniel Parker
The publican of the Rooster & Kitten Pub. He works as an informant for the resistance
* InnocentInnuendo: He doesn't seem to realize why Zoë considers his pub's sign, which is a kitten riding a rooster, to be innuendo. Nor does he understand what's so funny about his pub's nickname of "The Cock & Pussy"
* RetiredBadass: In his younger days, Ulvic sailed the sea and had many adventures. Now he's just a publican.
!!Bip
->'''Voiced by:''' Harry Martin
A Dolmari street urchin who assists the resistance. His parents were taken were taken to the prison colony by the Azadi.
* SelectiveObliviousness: It is implied that Bip on some level knows just how bad the odds of his parents' survival are, but the thought of them being dead is such an AwfulTruth that he tries his hardest not to acknowledge it.
* StreetUrchin: He has been homeless ever since his parents were taken. While he is StreetSmart enough to survive on his own and he claims to be perfectly happy with it, it is pretty evident that he misses his old life.
* TagalongKid: He insists on coming to help Kian in Books 2 and 3. He's more helpful than a usual one [[spoiler: but he's still caught in Book 3 and must be rescued in Book 4]]. Kian preempts this in Book 5, knowing Pip will tag along unless they make sure to have someone watch him.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Kian frequently notices how much Bip reminds him of himself as a child.
!!Bandu-Ma-Seri aka "The Mole"
->'''Voiced by:''' Susan Brown
A female Banda who is the leader of Marcuria's criminal underground (pun fully intended).
* TheBusCameBack: While she mostly exits the story when she leaves Marcuria at the end of Book 2, she makes a brief reappearance in Book 4 to help Zoë find the Purple Mountains.
* IronLady: After his dealings with her, Kian comes to understand why she is so feared and respected despite her size, realizing that she is both very clever and strong-willed.
* LastOfHerKind: She explains that the Azadi wiped out the Banda, and the only reason she survived is because she was thought dead. [[spoiler:Subverted in Book 4, with the return of Ben-Bandu from TLJ. Ben-Bandu also mentions that some Banda managed to flee to the east]].
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: She doesn't really like the rebellion, but she likes the Azadi even less.
* RuggedScar: Has three sets of claw marks across her face.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:The presence of the Azadi machine eventually causes her to decide to close up her operation and leave Marcuria, as she senses that something is ''horribly'' wrong about it, and she doesn't want to be anywhere near it whenever it is activated]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Or let one be killed. She's perfectly okay with killing an innocent Azadi boy to get his message.
* YouNoTakeCandle: Played with. She is actually very eloquent, but her way of speaking is quite peculiar.
!!Anna
->'''Voiced by:''' Katie Lyons
A young lady from Marcuria who meets with Kian in Book Two.
* ActionGirl: Not seen in Book 2, but implied by Kian that she knows her way in a fight. [[spoiler: By protecting Ferdows and possibly Enu, she gets to be this.]]
%%* DarkSkinnedRedhead
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: [[spoiler: She sets up Varmon to get one of these. And delivers the first blow herself.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: She's not actually part of the Resistance, but she tips off Kian to an Azadi soldier doing horrible things.
* IHaveManyNames: In Book 3, she admits that "Anna" is actually an alias and that she uses a different name in every city she travels to.
* IncompatibleOrientation: She's in love with Kian, who is gay, which makes their conversations rather awkward.
* MysteriousPast: Anna can see through Kian's cloaking veil, which is only possible if they know each other intimately. As Kian has no recollection of the woman, it begs the question of who she really is. [[spoiler: Her name is Alayna, and Kian rescued her from Vamon as a child.]]
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: She is not part of the Resistance, but she is against the Azadi occupation.
* ShipTease: She can kiss Kian. Player choice may or may not reciprocate.
* SingleTargetSexuality: [[spoiler:Tells Kian that she has loved him since he saved her from Vamon as a child, and has only ever loved him.]]
* StalkerWithACrush: After [[spoiler: Kian saved her from Vamon]] she watched him from a distance until circumstance caused her to [[spoiler: leave Sadir]]. After reuniting, she still shows shades of this.
!!General Hami
->'''Voiced by:''' Nathaniel Parker
One of heads of the Azadi's military.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Not maliciously so, but he would lock Kian away for his own safety and wait for a chance to expose Vamon and Sahya, even though Kian knows that waiting would be catastrophic.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He knows that something is up with the way Commander Vamon and Sister Sahya runs things in Marcuria. He directly says to Vamon that he really doesn't want to suspect him of any wrongdoing, but he will investigate into the matter until he knows the truth and encourages him to be forthcoming. He is also fully willing to believe Kian when he tells him that Vamon and Sahya are traitors, despite Kian being a traitor himself, pointing out that the fact Kian stands alive in front proves they lied to him. In Book Four, he agrees to hear Kian out after finding [[spoiler:the Azadi concentration camp is being used for horrific experiments]].
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:He dies fighting Vamon's men shortly after defecting to the rebellion.]]
* RuggedScar: His face is marked by quite the collection of scars. He sure hasn't earned his rank from sitting behind a desk.
!! Mother Utana
->'''Voiced by:''' Adjoa Andoh
A former teacher of Kian's and Anna's, Mother Utana is an elderly woman traveling with the First and General Hami.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Subverted. She's shown to be ambitious, she came to Marcuria because it could get her close to the Seat (possibly as a member of the Six). But she's nothing but kind. [[spoiler: Until Book 5 shows her to be a BitchInSheepsClothing.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Her kindly mother facade hides the fact that she approved of killing all magicals.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: She took in Kian as an orphan, taught Anna, and it's believed that she will withdraw her support to Sahya if she learns about how magicals are being exterminated. [[spoiler: Whoo, boy, did Book 5 subvert this.]]
* GoodShepherd: She's involved in the church, and is saintly and wise. [[spoiler: At least until Book 5 makes her genocidal intentions clear.]]
* HappilyAdopted: She's very motherly to both Kian and Anna, and is implied to have been their mother figure in addition to her teacher.
* SilkHidingSteel: She doesn't raise her voice, or get angry. But she can cow Sister Sahya when the latter is being disrespectful, and both Sahya and Vamon are hesitant to cross her. [[spoiler: Until she knifes Kian in the back, she never shows any violence.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: She believes that she is doing the work of the Goddess.]]
!!Ferdows
->'''Voiced by:''' Sam Fink
An engineer involved in the operation of the machinery running all throughout Marcuria.
* BackForTheFinale: It looks as if he is killed mid-game... but is present in the finale and [[spoiler: helps save the day]].
* HollywoodNerd: Skinny, with thick spectacles and oversized teeth.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Is horrified when he finds out that the magicals were being sent to prison camps and executed instead of simply relocated.
* PunchClockVillain: Most things are above his pay grade. He just runs the machinery.
* WouldntHurtAChild: He's upset the magicals are being killed, but he's really upset when he learns that it extends to children.
!!Onor Hileriss
->'''Voiced by:''' Jonathan Dow
The leader of The National Front for Faith and Family. He is currently running for the post as Leader of the City Watch in Marcuria and it is a OpenSecret that he is a collaborator with the Azadi.
* BlackShirt: He openly works for the Azadi and applauds their stigma against magic and Magicals.
* FalseFriend: Despite his cooperative attitude towards the Azadi, some of his aside comments in more private moments reveals that he really doesn't like them, and only sees them as an means to the end of getting more power for himself. He especially despises the fact that they worship a female deity and are organized as a matriarchal society.
* FreudianExcuse: He implies at one point that the reason behind his stigma against Magicals stems from his father running away with a Dolmari woman and thereby brining shame upon the family's name.
* HateSink: Pretty clearly exists to be the one guy in the game no one is supposed to like.
* HeManWomanHater: In Book Four, he makes several comments about how women should StayInTheKitchen. Just in case you thought he might have some redeeming qualities.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Managed to catch crow so he could burn him alive, only to have the same happen to him when Kian sabotages the attempt. He doesn't die on the spot, but a guard observes that he probably won't last the night.
* ManOnFire: Kian can do this to him in Book 5. It couldn't have happened to a better person.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: His antipathy against Magicals and ideas of blood, land, and honor carries very obvious connotations.
* VerbalTic: He sure likes to say "Yes!" in an emphatic tone a lot.
!!Sister Alessandra/The Administrator
->'''Voiced by:''' Jane Perry
The administrator of the Azadi concentration camp on Ge'en.
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Kian does NOT like that she is fond of his past an Apostle. Or that she fantasized about meeting him naked.
* CreepyBlueEyes: Her very pale blue eyes and the fact she is slightly bug-eyed, gives her a noticeably creepy stare.
* DissonantSerenity: She's quite calm when she talks about her plague to kill all magicals. She shows more excitement thinking about [[AllWomenAreLustful naked Kian.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Unless Kian specifically asks her for her name, she is only ever called "The Administrator" or "Sister."
* FatBastard: She is notably more plump than any other Azadi encountered in the game, and perhaps also one of the most wilfully evil ones.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Kian assumes at first that her knitting indicates she's not a wholly evil person. He could not possibly be more wrong.
* FinalSolution: One of the main people implementing one for magicals in Arcadia.
* FreudianExcuse: Her siblings were murdered by magicals, including very young children.
* {{Hypocrite}} During her MotiveRant, she complains about children being innocent of the crimes of their parents. She then explicitly complains that magical children will grow up to be just like their parents. The irony is clearly lost on her.
* MadDoctor: With her love of vivisecting and performing experiments on her victims, she is basically a female Josef Mengele.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: A ruthless genocidal maniac who runs a literal concentration camp.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Genocidal, has a [[spoiler:pit of bodies]] in her room, vivisects live subjects (including children)...
* PlayingWithSyringes: Is about to vivisect [[spoiler:Bip]] when Kian meets her, and has no objections to [[spoiler:unethical experimentation and mass murder for the sake of a global magical genocide]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Specifically, [[spoiler:Bip]], in addition to every magical child she's ever murdered.
* YoureInsane: Kian will tell her this much. She denies the notion, because all she is doing is science after all, not magic.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Others]]
!!Saga
->'''Voiced by:''' Unknown (child), Ava Khan (teenager), Creator/EleanorMatsuura (adult), Susan Brown (old woman)
A mysterious new female lead, announced [[http://web.archive.org/web/20090619044056/http://ragnartornquist.com/?p=655 ages ago]]. She appears as a [[PlayableCharacter playable toddler]] in the first interlude at the end of Book One.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: To Kian]].
* DeadGuyJunior: [[spoiler: She has what looks to be a mini version of the late Crow.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Adult Saga enjoys snarking at every opportune and inopportune moment.
* DimensionalTraveler: She's a shifter, like April.
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler: In Book 5, we learn that Magnus has disappeared and never come back to the House of All Worlds.]]
* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler: She tags along with Kian in the epilogue, posing as his daughter. When she's older, she remarks about how much she misses him.]]
* InterspeciesRomance: Seems to be a product of one: her father, Magnus, looks human, while her mother, Etta, has [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe green skin and an impossibly stunning figure]]. Saga, for her part, looks like a regular human baby, then a regular human toddler, and then a regular teenager, albeit with dyed green hair.
* MeaningfulName: Her motivation for helping the heroes in Book 5 is that "the story is already written".
* MissingMom: [[spoiler:During the second interlude, Etta has gone missing. The fact that Magnus doesn't believe she is dead and forbids Saga to go outside the house implies that she has somehow been lost in the Aether.]]
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: The spirit of [[spoiler:the White Dragon]] has watched over Saga pretty much since birth, but she is the only one who can see her (and even that seems to be the case only while she is a toddler).
* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:In Book Four, Abnaxus reveals that a part of April Ryan reincarnated in Saga, although even Lady Alvane (Saga in her old age) doesn't quite understand what their connection is.]]
* TheReveal: She is [[spoiler: Lady Alvane from ''The Longest Journey'', as well as April Ryan's reincarnation.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: She was a reason the devs avoided talking about the contents of the prologue and the interludes all the way up until the release of Book One, although this was later subverted when the placed an adult Saga front-and-center on the cover of ''The Final Cut''.
!!Magnus
->'''Voiced by:''' Stuart Martin
Saga's father.
* AdultFear: In Book Four, he wakes up to find [[spoiler:Saga has broken the wards preventing her from shifting and left the house]].
* BeardOfSorrow: Magnus has developed PermaStubble in the second interlude, and it gets even thicker in the third. [[spoiler:It is strongly implied to be due to Etta's disappearance.]]
* GoodParents: He's trying really hard to be a good father, and it shows.
* LethalChef: Etta doesn't care for his stew.
* MagnusMeansMage: He managed to build a house at the nexus of all universes and timelines of the multiverse, and has outfitted it with all kinds of magical protections and wards.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: He's absent in Book 5, having left the House between All Worlds. And Saga has no idea where he's gone.]]
* StandardFiftiesFather: His looks invoke much of this image.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Downplayed. He is a bit shorter than Etta, but not by much.
!! Etta
->'''Voiced by:''' Sarah Hamilton
Saga's mother.
* GoodParents: She dotes on her baby girl.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: She looks exactly like one, although it's never been hinted where she's from.
* HappilyMarried: Interlude 1 and the flashbacks show us that Magnus and Etta deeply loved each other.
* TheLostLenore: After she disappears from the House between All Worlds, Magnus carries a torch for her.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: She senses the presence of the [[spoiler: White Dragon]], but nothing comes of it.
* PutOnABus: She disappears after the first Interlude. It's hinted she became lost in the Aether.
* StatuesqueStunner: She towers over her husband.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She's a head taller than Magnus is.
!!Lux
The first Dreamer, and the creator of the universe.
* AmbiguousGender: Lux isn't really defined by a gender. Zoë struggles with whether to call Lux a he or a she.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Lux is naked in a scene with Zoe in Chapter 4, but has no genitals or nipples.
* BarrierMaiden: The universe exists as long as Lux dreams. If Lux died, it would mean the end of everything.
* CosmicKeystone: The soul-stone belongs to Lux.
* FemaleAngelMaleDemon: Rare inversion, the boyishly androgynous Lux is the GoodCounterpart to the clearly dark and definitely female Yaga.
* FourFingeredHands: Lux noticeably has four fingers, perhaps to showcase that Lux is definitely not human.
* FusionDance: Joins with [[spoiler:Zoë]] at the end of Book Four.
* GooGooGodlike: Lux looks a young child, but is still the being that dreamt the universe into existence.
* GoodCounterpart: The dream to the Yaga's nightmare.
* PowerTattoo: When the [[spoiler: FusionDance with Zoë]] occues, an orange tattoo appears on her face. Lux also has a number of tattoos, but it's unknown if powers come with them, like Zoe's in Storytime.
* {{Telepathy}}: Lux communicating with Zoë happens entirely telepathically, with Zoë RepeatingSoTheAudienceCanHear. Lux only vocalizes grunts and giggles.
!!Baeb-Ayae-Gh'aa aka Baba Yaga
The Wicker Witch.
* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: She sees herself as a necessary counterbalance to Lux, stating that without darkness and fear, there can be no imagination and therefore no dreams.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Or in her case, Gods Needs ''Fear'' Badly. By the time Zoë meets her, she is in a weakened state as all her agents meant to spread fear in her name are either dead, or in the case of Klacks, have lost their powers.
* GreaterScopeVillain: She commanded both the Gribbler and Roper Klacks, two bosses from the first game.
* TheHecateSisters: She shifts around between these three forms while speaking to Zoë.
* HumanoidAbomination: For what corresponds to a literal God of Darkness and Fear, she appears very humanoid when speaking to Zoë.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: She mentions that she didn't always take the form of the Hecate Sisters, it was apparently a side-effect of Lux dreaming the universe into existence.
* TimeAbyss: She existed before Lux created the universe.
* TheSacredDarkness: The Yaga is very much a primordial evil, by she is the kind of DarkIsEvil that makes Lux's Light stand out and makes human create and invent out of fear of it. This is in contrast to the "black fire" darkness, which seeks only to unravel the dream/creation and is pretty obviously the Undreaming.
* SonOfAnApe: She dismissively refer to both Zoë, and humanity as a whole, as "monkeys".

* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:She makes a brief, unvoiced appearance in the final book when Zoë contacts her to get Wit's help in shutting down the Engine.]]
* ClusterFBomb: Or S-Bomb. Some variation of "shit" is easily her most commonly used word. Turns to full-blown F-bombs in Book Two.
%%* EyepatchOfPower
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Wit, who towers over her. In a ironic reversal, it's Wit who requires Mira's protection, despite his size.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: Mira teases Wit, but will not allow anyone else to do so.
* HellBentForLeather: Wears an old-style leather jacket.
* IronLady: You don't fuck with Mira.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her abrasive attitude, she can act quite nice at times, even though she claims she is only doing so begrudgingly. Her RebelliousSpirit also motivates her to come to Zoë's aid in her fight against TheConspiracy. Also, when she asks for a favour of Zoe, she doesn't ask for her paying or doing an errand...she asks her to go home and be safe.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Her relationship with Wit. She essentially views him as a younger brother.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Calls Wit a 'retard' and claims he is probably faking his autism.
!!Wit
A humble technical genius in Mira's employment.
* ArtificialLimbs: His right leg and left arm and mechanical.
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:Zoë contacts him to get his help shutting down the Engine in the final book.]]

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Mira, whom he towers over.
* IdiotSavant: Genius with tech, but cannot communicate with anyone but Mira.
* TheSilentBob: He communicates entirely non-verbally.
!!Dr. Roman Zelenka
->'''Voiced by:''' Mark Healy
Zoë's psychotherapist who helps her restore her lost memories.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: He's been feeding details about Zoë to Falk Friedman.]]
* PutOnABus: Zoë loses contact with him in the timeskip between Books 2 and 3. She suspects that he left Propast in wake of its increasing transformation into a police state. [[spoiler: But considering that Friedmann was saying he has become useless, he might also...]]
* ShipTease: Flirting with him is an option.
!!Nela Vlček
->'''Voiced by:''' Miranda Raison
A food vendor in Propast, with whom Zoë tries to be friends but their different political agendas can put a strain on their relationship (Nela is a Marxist, Zoë supports social democrats).
* ForcedIntoEvil: Variation. Queenie believes that Nela was [[spoiler: tricked, thinking she would set off an EMP instead of an antimatter bomb. However, Nela learned the truth before the bomb went off. She goes through with it, in order to bring [=WATICorp=] down. She plays the rest of the trope straight, realizing innocent people will be killed and deeply regrets their lives will be lost. In the end, she does succeed at this.]]
* PeekABangs: Played straight, though mostly for style.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: In Book Two, Nela will admit to Zoë that her party is having some debate about whether to work with the system or go full-on revolutionary. [[spoiler:In her next appearance, she [[SuicideAttack suicide-bombs]] an EYE checkpoint]].
* UnwittingPawn: Subverted. [[spoiler: It's implied during Chapter Three that someone tricked Nela into suicide bombing the checkpoint, convincing her it was just an EMP to disrupt the EYE. However, she figured out the truth. She detonated the bomb anyway, because [=WATIcorp=] would have killed her, covered it up, and triggered another attack if she didn't. She reasons that, since [=WATIcorp=] is getting what it wants, they won't bother to cover anything up until it is too late to do anything about it.]]
!!Süleyman "Sully" Sadik
->'''Voiced by:''' Nathaniel Parker
Reza's editor at the Hand That Feeds and Zoë's admirer.
* BigFun: He has a happy, easy-going attitude and likes to jokingly flirt with Zoë. Zoë implies that part of it might just be him putting on a brave face, since he has recently been going through a rather ugly divorce.
* CarpetOfVirility: Of the fat slob variety.
* IntrepidReporter: He's the newspaper's editor, but he fulfills all of the trope.
!!Queenie
->'''Voiced by:''' Susan Brown
The informal leader of Bricks (essentially, Propast's Chinatown).
* TheAtoner: She mentions spending the second half of her long life making up for the mistakes she did in the first one.
* CoolOldLady: She has managed to keep her businesses out of Mr London's blackmailing scheme, is the most respected person in her neighborhood, has a knack for picking up on subtle things about people, and has a hovering teacup. Zoë admits that she kind of want to be Queenie when she gets to be old--not "like Queenie" but actually be her.
* FemmeFatalons: Subverted. She's got them, but she's a nice lady.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: Queenie is an almost comically small old Asian lady.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: If you [[spoiler:tell the truth about the Social Democrats possibly being corrupt, she'll refuse to endorse them despite having promised it in return for your help. However, she still owes a favor, and makes it clear she'll pay up if Zoë ever needs one]].
!!Hanna Roth
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JessicaHenwick
The ''de facto'' leader of the teenage gang, "The Dragonflies", in Propast, who disappeared several days before Queenie asks Zoë to find her. She is a Dreamer like Zoe, although her powers are presumably a lot weaker.
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: Like Zoe. She was the second child created, whereas Zoe was the first.]]
* AstralProjection: Like Zoe, she can project herself into other worlds. Her powers are indicated to be less advanced, though, and she isn't aware of the true scope of what she's doing.
* ButchLesbian: She's got the punk look down and her love interest is the more [[LipstickLesbian conventionally attractive]] Abby.
* {{Courier}}: Her main source of income comes from organizing and making deliveries of goods her clients would rather have goes unnoticed by the EYE.
* ReluctantRuler: She doesn't like the notion that the other members of "The Dragonflies" look to her as their leader, still she is fiercely protective of them and she is so respected that her word often ends up being the last in an argument.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Her clothes flatten her bustline, and her short stature in comparison to Zoe's StatuesqueStunner makes her look like a pre-teen. Her kissing scene with Abby is a little awkward as a result.
* PutOnABus: She leaves Propast for Mumbai during Book 3. [[spoiler:While this puts her in proximity to Zoë's final confrontation with Helena, Helena dismisses Hanna as a threat and she never appears again.]]
!!Falk Friedman
->'''Voiced by:''' Tim Bentinck
A "Corporate Jäger", i.e. a BountyHunter employed by corporations to take care of dirty, off-the-books business. He haunts Zoë as she is trying to establish a new life in Europolis.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Classy and elegant in a suit that probably costs thousands.
* CharacterDeath: As a possible outcome of player choices. [[spoiler:In Book Three, if Zoë tosses her Dreamer at him, he gets shot in the chest. Though he doesn't die on the spot, it's made clear when the game recounts player choices.]]
%%* CorporateSamurai
* DissonantSerenity: He's completely stoic and placid while [[spoiler: gunning down EYE's after Zoë. Even if he's shot in the chest.]]
* FourEyesZeroSoul: [[spoiler: Possibly. He can kill without remorse, although he is killing EYE's trying to kill Zoe.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: His introduction has him lighting up a cigarette in a rather sinister manner as he spies on Zoë's apartment.
* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler: He actually is not hunting Zoë... he's ''protecting'' her -- albeit on the orders of her mother.]]
* IcyBlueEyes: Fits with his job as a hunter.

[[folder:Arcadia]]
!!Shepherd
->'''Voiced by:''' Adjoa Andoh
The Samare leader of the resistance.
* BigGood: She's the leader of the resistance and thus the last hope of the magicals races of Marcuria.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:She dies at the end of Book 4 if Kian brought Likho to Ge'en.]]
!!Enu-Mar Sand'ya
->'''Voiced by:''' Jessica Henwick
Enu-Mar Sand'ya, Twilight Child, Daughter of Te'a-Mar is a member of the anti-Azadi resistance in the Northlands.
* DeadpanSnarker: Frequently.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: She makes more than a few remarks about Kian being attractive without meaning to. Later, she blurts out that Zoe is also very attractive.
* MotorMouth: She has a bit of a problem about knowing when to pause whenever she has started talking.
* OverlyLongName: The girl has quite a lot of epithets (second only to April, in fact).
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: She has a tendency to blurt out rather embarrassing statements at time.
* PointyEars: As befits a Zhid, one of the fantasy races inhabiting Arcadia.
* PragmaticHero: She really doesn't like the fact that [[spoiler: Kian can choose to let a man who had sex with a young Dolmari go]], but she does think it's worth it to have a spy in the Tower.
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the wild and emotional red to Likho's (and to a lesser extent, Kian's) blue. She even wears red.
* TheSpock: As opposed to Likho's [[TheMcCoy McCoy]], she gravitates towards more pragmatic solutions to problems and moral questions, even if she doesn't like it.
* SomeCallMeTim: She knows her name is kind of a mouthful, and since her parents aren't around to make a fuss about it she prefers just to go by "Enu".
* TalkativeLoon: Downplayed, but she's kinda out there. And she does not shut up.
!!Likho
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaveFennoy
A Dolmari resistance member with a old grudge against Kian that he is still hoping to pay back some day.
* FireforgedFriends: He bonds with Kian if Kian allows him to join the mission to Ge'en.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:If Likho is left behind by Kian when he goes to Ge'en, Likho ends up getting killed during the raid on the rebel base, but he goes down fighting and manages to save Shepherd in the process.]]
* TheMcCoy: As opposed to Enu's [[TheSpock Spock]], in a dark sense; despite his stoic surface he often puts RevengeBeforeReason, and can therefore be impulsive and rash where Enu usually is able to keep a cool head and think of the bigger picture.
* TheNotLoveInterest: While Likho and Kian are both gay and the two of them can become very close, they come to consider themselves to be brothers and not lovers.
* RedOniBlueOni: It's not a surprise the blue guy is the stoic, straight-laced one.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He dies at the end of Book Four if Kian didn't let him accompany him to Ge'en.]]
* StraightGay: If you brought him along for the trip in Book Four, he stops just short of saying this outright. The intent is fairly clear, though.
* TheStraightMan: Plays this to the more goofy Enu.
* SuperReflexes: If Kian fails to perform the ArrowCatch in ''Book 2'', he does it instead.
* TortureAlwaysWorks: A strong believer in this.
* WhyCantIHateYou: If brought along at the end of chapter 3 Likho expresses his frustration at this to Kian, saying Kian's actions are making him difficult to hate.
* YouKilledMyFather: He has a vendetta against Kian for the death of his father, which Kian was involved in. [[spoiler:If Likho survives the game, he decides to forgive Kian.]]
!!Jakai Salmin
->'''Voiced by:''' Stuart Martin
The nephew of Benrime Salmin. He used to be a merchant who frequently traded with the Azadi, but after his aunt was imprisoned in the previous game, Jakai realized the error of his ways and joined the resistance.
* FakeDefector: [[spoiler:It's implied that he only joined the resistance so he could sell them out to the Azadi for a quick buck.]]
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler:Vamon pays Jakai plenty of coin for giving him the location of the resistance's base. And then Vamon throws in a bonus fatal stab to Jakai's heart.]]
!!Ulvic the Ever-Thirsty
->'''Voiced by:''' Nathaniel Parker
The publican of the Rooster & Kitten Pub. He works as an informant for the resistance
* InnocentInnuendo: He doesn't seem to realize why Zoë considers his pub's sign, which is a kitten riding a rooster, to be innuendo. Nor does he understand what's so funny about his pub's nickname of "The Cock & Pussy"
* RetiredBadass: In his younger days, Ulvic sailed the sea and had many adventures. Now he's just a publican.
!!Bip
->'''Voiced by:''' Harry Martin
A Dolmari street urchin who assists the resistance. His parents were taken were taken to the prison colony by the Azadi.
* SelectiveObliviousness: It is implied that Bip on some level knows just how bad the odds of his parents' survival are, but the thought of them being dead is such an AwfulTruth that he tries his hardest not to acknowledge it.
* StreetUrchin: He has been homeless ever since his parents were taken. While he is StreetSmart enough to survive on his own and he claims to be perfectly happy with it, it is pretty evident that he misses his old life.
* TagalongKid: He insists on coming to help Kian in Books 2 and 3. He's more helpful than a usual one [[spoiler: but he's still caught in Book 3 and must be rescued in Book 4]]. Kian preempts this in Book 5, knowing Pip will tag along unless they make sure to have someone watch him.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Kian frequently notices how much Bip reminds him of himself as a child.
!!Bandu-Ma-Seri aka "The Mole"
->'''Voiced by:''' Susan Brown
A female Banda who is the leader of Marcuria's criminal underground (pun fully intended).
* TheBusCameBack: While she mostly exits the story when she leaves Marcuria at the end of Book 2, she makes a brief reappearance in Book 4 to help Zoë find the Purple Mountains.
* IronLady: After his dealings with her, Kian comes to understand why she is so feared and respected despite her size, realizing that she is both very clever and strong-willed.
* LastOfHerKind: She explains that the Azadi wiped out the Banda, and the only reason she survived is because she was thought dead. [[spoiler:Subverted in Book 4, with the return of Ben-Bandu from TLJ. Ben-Bandu also mentions that some Banda managed to flee to the east]].
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: She doesn't really like the rebellion, but she likes the Azadi even less.
* RuggedScar: Has three sets of claw marks across her face.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:The presence of the Azadi machine eventually causes her to decide to close up her operation and leave Marcuria, as she senses that something is ''horribly'' wrong about it, and she doesn't want to be anywhere near it whenever it is activated]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Or let one be killed. She's perfectly okay with killing an innocent Azadi boy to get his message.
* YouNoTakeCandle: Played with. She is actually very eloquent, but her way of speaking is quite peculiar.
!!Anna
->'''Voiced by:''' Katie Lyons
A young lady from Marcuria who meets with Kian in Book Two.
* ActionGirl: Not seen in Book 2, but implied by Kian that she knows her way in a fight. [[spoiler: By protecting Ferdows and possibly Enu, she gets to be this.]]
%%* DarkSkinnedRedhead
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: [[spoiler: She sets up Varmon to get one of these. And delivers the first blow herself.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: She's not actually part of the Resistance, but she tips off Kian to an Azadi soldier doing horrible things.
* IHaveManyNames: In Book 3, she admits that "Anna" is actually an alias and that she uses a different name in every city she travels to.
* IncompatibleOrientation: She's in love with Kian, who is gay, which makes their conversations rather awkward.
* MysteriousPast: Anna can see through Kian's cloaking veil, which is only possible if they know each other intimately. As Kian has no recollection of the woman, it begs the question of who she really is. [[spoiler: Her name is Alayna, and Kian rescued her from Vamon as a child.]]
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: She is not part of the Resistance, but she is against the Azadi occupation.
* ShipTease: She can kiss Kian. Player choice may or may not reciprocate.
* SingleTargetSexuality: [[spoiler:Tells Kian that she has loved him since he saved her from Vamon as a child, and has only ever loved him.]]
* StalkerWithACrush: After [[spoiler: Kian saved her from Vamon]] she watched him from a distance until circumstance caused her to [[spoiler: leave Sadir]]. After reuniting, she still shows shades of this.
!!General Hami
->'''Voiced by:''' Nathaniel Parker
One of heads of the Azadi's military.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Not maliciously so, but he would lock Kian away for his own safety and wait for a chance to expose Vamon and Sahya, even though Kian knows that waiting would be catastrophic.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He knows that something is up with the way Commander Vamon and Sister Sahya runs things in Marcuria. He directly says to Vamon that he really doesn't want to suspect him of any wrongdoing, but he will investigate into the matter until he knows the truth and encourages him to be forthcoming. He is also fully willing to believe Kian when he tells him that Vamon and Sahya are traitors, despite Kian being a traitor himself, pointing out that the fact Kian stands alive in front proves they lied to him. In Book Four, he agrees to hear Kian out after finding [[spoiler:the Azadi concentration camp is being used for horrific experiments]].
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:He dies fighting Vamon's men shortly after defecting to the rebellion.]]
* RuggedScar: His face is marked by quite the collection of scars. He sure hasn't earned his rank from sitting behind a desk.
!! Mother Utana
->'''Voiced by:''' Adjoa Andoh
A former teacher of Kian's and Anna's, Mother Utana is an elderly woman traveling with the First and General Hami.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Subverted. She's shown to be ambitious, she came to Marcuria because it could get her close to the Seat (possibly as a member of the Six). But she's nothing but kind. [[spoiler: Until Book 5 shows her to be a BitchInSheepsClothing.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Her kindly mother facade hides the fact that she approved of killing all magicals.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: She took in Kian as an orphan, taught Anna, and it's believed that she will withdraw her support to Sahya if she learns about how magicals are being exterminated. [[spoiler: Whoo, boy, did Book 5 subvert this.]]
* GoodShepherd: She's involved in the church, and is saintly and wise. [[spoiler: At least until Book 5 makes her genocidal intentions clear.]]
* HappilyAdopted: She's very motherly to both Kian and Anna, and is implied to have been their mother figure in addition to her teacher.
* SilkHidingSteel: She doesn't raise her voice, or get angry. But she can cow Sister Sahya when the latter is being disrespectful, and both Sahya and Vamon are hesitant to cross her. [[spoiler: Until she knifes Kian in the back, she never shows any violence.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: She believes that she is doing the work of the Goddess.]]
!!Ferdows
->'''Voiced by:''' Sam Fink
An engineer involved in the operation of the machinery running all throughout Marcuria.
* BackForTheFinale: It looks as if he is killed mid-game... but is present in the finale and [[spoiler: helps save the day]].
* HollywoodNerd: Skinny, with thick spectacles and oversized teeth.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Is horrified when he finds out that the magicals were being sent to prison camps and executed instead of simply relocated.
* PunchClockVillain: Most things are above his pay grade. He just runs the machinery.
* WouldntHurtAChild: He's upset the magicals are being killed, but he's really upset when he learns that it extends to children.
!!Onor Hileriss
->'''Voiced by:''' Jonathan Dow
The leader of The National Front for Faith and Family. He is currently running for the post as Leader of the City Watch in Marcuria and it is a OpenSecret that he is a collaborator with the Azadi.
* BlackShirt: He openly works for the Azadi and applauds their stigma against magic and Magicals.
* FalseFriend: Despite his cooperative attitude towards the Azadi, some of his aside comments in more private moments reveals that he really doesn't like them, and only sees them as an means to the end of getting more power for himself. He especially despises the fact that they worship a female deity and are organized as a matriarchal society.
* FreudianExcuse: He implies at one point that the reason behind his stigma against Magicals stems from his father running away with a Dolmari woman and thereby brining shame upon the family's name.
* HateSink: Pretty clearly exists to be the one guy in the game no one is supposed to like.
* HeManWomanHater: In Book Four, he makes several comments about how women should StayInTheKitchen. Just in case you thought he might have some redeeming qualities.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Managed to catch crow so he could burn him alive, only to have the same happen to him when Kian sabotages the attempt. He doesn't die on the spot, but a guard observes that he probably won't last the night.
* ManOnFire: Kian can do this to him in Book 5. It couldn't have happened to a better person.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: His antipathy against Magicals and ideas of blood, land, and honor carries very obvious connotations.
* VerbalTic: He sure likes to say "Yes!" in an emphatic tone a lot.
!!Sister Alessandra/The Administrator
->'''Voiced by:''' Jane Perry
The administrator of the Azadi concentration camp on Ge'en.
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Kian does NOT like that she is fond of his past an Apostle. Or that she fantasized about meeting him naked.
* CreepyBlueEyes: Her very pale blue eyes and the fact she is slightly bug-eyed, gives her a noticeably creepy stare.
* DissonantSerenity: She's quite calm when she talks about her plague to kill all magicals. She shows more excitement thinking about [[AllWomenAreLustful naked Kian.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Unless Kian specifically asks her for her name, she is only ever called "The Administrator" or "Sister."
* FatBastard: She is notably more plump than any other Azadi encountered in the game, and perhaps also one of the most wilfully evil ones.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Kian assumes at first that her knitting indicates she's not a wholly evil person. He could not possibly be more wrong.
* FinalSolution: One of the main people implementing one for magicals in Arcadia.
* FreudianExcuse: Her siblings were murdered by magicals, including very young children.
* {{Hypocrite}} During her MotiveRant, she complains about children being innocent of the crimes of their parents. She then explicitly complains that magical children will grow up to be just like their parents. The irony is clearly lost on her.
* MadDoctor: With her love of vivisecting and performing experiments on her victims, she is basically a female Josef Mengele.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: A ruthless genocidal maniac who runs a literal concentration camp.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Genocidal, has a [[spoiler:pit of bodies]] in her room, vivisects live subjects (including children)...
* PlayingWithSyringes: Is about to vivisect [[spoiler:Bip]] when Kian meets her, and has no objections to [[spoiler:unethical experimentation and mass murder for the sake of a global magical genocide]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Specifically, [[spoiler:Bip]], in addition to every magical child she's ever murdered.
* YoureInsane: Kian will tell her this much. She denies the notion, because all she is doing is science after all, not magic.

[[folder:Others]]
!!Saga
->'''Voiced by:''' Unknown (child), Ava Khan (teenager), Creator/EleanorMatsuura (adult), Susan Brown (old woman)
A mysterious new female lead, announced [[http://web.archive.org/web/20090619044056/http://ragnartornquist.com/?p=655 ages ago]]. She appears as a [[PlayableCharacter playable toddler]] in the first interlude at the end of Book One.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: To Kian]].
* DeadGuyJunior: [[spoiler: She has what looks to be a mini version of the late Crow.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Adult Saga enjoys snarking at every opportune and inopportune moment.
* DimensionalTraveler: She's a shifter, like April.
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler: In Book 5, we learn that Magnus has disappeared and never come back to the House of All Worlds.]]
* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler: She tags along with Kian in the epilogue, posing as his daughter. When she's older, she remarks about how much she misses him.]]
* InterspeciesRomance: Seems to be a product of one: her father, Magnus, looks human, while her mother, Etta, has [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe green skin and an impossibly stunning figure]]. Saga, for her part, looks like a regular human baby, then a regular human toddler, and then a regular teenager, albeit with dyed green hair.
* MeaningfulName: Her motivation for helping the heroes in Book 5 is that "the story is already written".
* MissingMom: [[spoiler:During the second interlude, Etta has gone missing. The fact that Magnus doesn't believe she is dead and forbids Saga to go outside the house implies that she has somehow been lost in the Aether.]]
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: The spirit of [[spoiler:the White Dragon]] has watched over Saga pretty much since birth, but she is the only one who can see her (and even that seems to be the case only while she is a toddler).
* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:In Book Four, Abnaxus reveals that a part of April Ryan reincarnated in Saga, although even Lady Alvane (Saga in her old age) doesn't quite understand what their connection is.]]
* TheReveal: She is [[spoiler: Lady Alvane from ''The Longest Journey'', as well as April Ryan's reincarnation.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: She was a reason the devs avoided talking about the contents of the prologue and the interludes all the way up until the release of Book One, although this was later subverted when the placed an adult Saga front-and-center on the cover of ''The Final Cut''.
!!Magnus
->'''Voiced by:''' Stuart Martin
Saga's father.
* AdultFear: In Book Four, he wakes up to find [[spoiler:Saga has broken the wards preventing her from shifting and left the house]].
* BeardOfSorrow: Magnus has developed PermaStubble in the second interlude, and it gets even thicker in the third. [[spoiler:It is strongly implied to be due to Etta's disappearance.]]
* GoodParents: He's trying really hard to be a good father, and it shows.
* LethalChef: Etta doesn't care for his stew.
* MagnusMeansMage: He managed to build a house at the nexus of all universes and timelines of the multiverse, and has outfitted it with all kinds of magical protections and wards.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: He's absent in Book 5, having left the House between All Worlds. And Saga has no idea where he's gone.]]
* StandardFiftiesFather: His looks invoke much of this image.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Downplayed. He is a bit shorter than Etta, but not by much.
!! Etta
->'''Voiced by:''' Sarah Hamilton
Saga's mother.
* GoodParents: She dotes on her baby girl.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: She looks exactly like one, although it's never been hinted where she's from.
* HappilyMarried: Interlude 1 and the flashbacks show us that Magnus and Etta deeply loved each other.
* TheLostLenore: After she disappears from the House between All Worlds, Magnus carries a torch for her.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: She senses the presence of the [[spoiler: White Dragon]], but nothing comes of it.
* PutOnABus: She disappears after the first Interlude. It's hinted she became lost in the Aether.
* StatuesqueStunner: She towers over her husband.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She's a head taller than Magnus is.
!!Lux
The first Dreamer, and the creator of the universe.
* AmbiguousGender: Lux isn't really defined by a gender. Zoë struggles with whether to call Lux a he or a she.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Lux is naked in a scene with Zoe in Chapter 4, but has no genitals or nipples.
* BarrierMaiden: The universe exists as long as Lux dreams. If Lux died, it would mean the end of everything.
* CosmicKeystone: The soul-stone belongs to Lux.
* FemaleAngelMaleDemon: Rare inversion, the boyishly androgynous Lux is the GoodCounterpart to the clearly dark and definitely female Yaga.
* FourFingeredHands: Lux noticeably has four fingers, perhaps to showcase that Lux is definitely not human.
* FusionDance: Joins with [[spoiler:Zoë]] at the end of Book Four.
* GooGooGodlike: Lux looks a young child, but is still the being that dreamt the universe into existence.
* GoodCounterpart: The dream to the Yaga's nightmare.
* PowerTattoo: When the [[spoiler: FusionDance with Zoë]] occues, an orange tattoo appears on her face. Lux also has a number of tattoos, but it's unknown if powers come with them, like Zoe's in Storytime.
* {{Telepathy}}: Lux communicating with Zoë happens entirely telepathically, with Zoë RepeatingSoTheAudienceCanHear. Lux only vocalizes grunts and giggles.
!!Baeb-Ayae-Gh'aa aka Baba Yaga
The Wicker Witch.
* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: She sees herself as a necessary counterbalance to Lux, stating that without darkness and fear, there can be no imagination and therefore no dreams.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Or in her case, Gods Needs ''Fear'' Badly. By the time Zoë meets her, she is in a weakened state as all her agents meant to spread fear in her name are either dead, or in the case of Klacks, have lost their powers.
* GreaterScopeVillain: She commanded both the Gribbler and Roper Klacks, two bosses from the first game.
* TheHecateSisters: She shifts around between these three forms while speaking to Zoë.
* HumanoidAbomination: For what corresponds to a literal God of Darkness and Fear, she appears very humanoid when speaking to Zoë.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: She mentions that she didn't always take the form of the Hecate Sisters, it was apparently a side-effect of Lux dreaming the universe into existence.
* TimeAbyss: She existed before Lux created the universe.
* TheSacredDarkness: The Yaga is very much a primordial evil, by she is the kind of DarkIsEvil that makes Lux's Light stand out and makes human create and invent out of fear of it. This is in contrast to the "black fire" darkness, which seeks only to unravel the dream/creation and is pretty obviously the Undreaming.
* SonOfAnApe: She dismissively refer to both Zoë, and humanity as a whole, as "monkeys".

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Wit, who towers over her. In a ironic reversal, it's Wit who requires Mira's protection, despite his size.
* HypocriticalHeartwarming: Mira teases Wit, but will not allow anyone else to do so.
* HellBentForLeather: Wears an old-style leather jacket.
* IronLady: You don't fuck with Mira.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her abrasive attitude, she can act quite nice at times, even though she claims she is only doing so begrudgingly. Her RebelliousSpirit also motivates her to come to Zoë's aid in her fight against TheConspiracy. Also, when she asks for a favour of Zoe, she doesn't ask for her paying or doing an errand...she asks her to go home and be safe.
* LikeBrotherAndSister: Her relationship with Wit. She essentially views him as a younger brother.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Calls Wit a 'retard' and claims he is probably faking his autism.
!!Wit
A humble technical genius in Mira's employment.
* ArtificialLimbs: His right leg and left arm and mechanical.
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:Zoë contacts him to get his help shutting down the Engine in the final book.]]
* ElectronicEyes: His googles make his eyes look permanently yellow.
* GentleGiant: Physically enormous, wouldn't hurt a fly.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Mira, whom he towers over.
* IdiotSavant: Genius with tech, but cannot communicate with anyone but Mira.
* TheSilentBob: He communicates entirely non-verbally.
!!Dr. Roman Zelenka
->'''Voiced by:''' Mark Healy
Zoë's psychotherapist who helps her restore her lost memories.
* TheMole: [[spoiler: He's been feeding details about Zoë to Falk Friedman.]]
* PutOnABus: Zoë loses contact with him in the timeskip between Books 2 and 3. She suspects that he left Propast in wake of its increasing transformation into a police state. [[spoiler: But considering that Friedmann was saying he has become useless, he might also...]]
* ShipTease: Flirting with him is an option.
!!Nela Vlček
->'''Voiced by:''' Miranda Raison
A food vendor in Propast, with whom Zoë tries to be friends but their different political agendas can put a strain on their relationship (Nela is a Marxist, Zoë supports social democrats).
* ForcedIntoEvil: Variation. Queenie believes that Nela was [[spoiler: tricked, thinking she would set off an EMP instead of an antimatter bomb. However, Nela learned the truth before the bomb went off. She goes through with it, in order to bring [=WATICorp=] down. She plays the rest of the trope straight, realizing innocent people will be killed and deeply regrets their lives will be lost. In the end, she does succeed at this.]]
* PeekABangs: Played straight, though mostly for style.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: In Book Two, Nela will admit to Zoë that her party is having some debate about whether to work with the system or go full-on revolutionary. [[spoiler:In her next appearance, she [[SuicideAttack suicide-bombs]] an EYE checkpoint]].
* UnwittingPawn: Subverted. [[spoiler: It's implied during Chapter Three that someone tricked Nela into suicide bombing the checkpoint, convincing her it was just an EMP to disrupt the EYE. However, she figured out the truth. She detonated the bomb anyway, because [=WATIcorp=] would have killed her, covered it up, and triggered another attack if she didn't. She reasons that, since [=WATIcorp=] is getting what it wants, they won't bother to cover anything up until it is too late to do anything about it.]]
!!Süleyman "Sully" Sadik
->'''Voiced by:''' Nathaniel Parker
Reza's editor at the Hand That Feeds and Zoë's admirer.
* BigFun: He has a happy, easy-going attitude and likes to jokingly flirt with Zoë. Zoë implies that part of it might just be him putting on a brave face, since he has recently been going through a rather ugly divorce.
* CarpetOfVirility: Of the fat slob variety.
* IntrepidReporter: He's the newspaper's editor, but he fulfills all of the trope.
!!Queenie
->'''Voiced by:''' Susan Brown
The informal leader of Bricks (essentially, Propast's Chinatown).
* TheAtoner: She mentions spending the second half of her long life making up for the mistakes she did in the first one.
* CoolOldLady: She has managed to keep her businesses out of Mr London's blackmailing scheme, is the most respected person in her neighborhood, has a knack for picking up on subtle things about people, and has a hovering teacup. Zoë admits that she kind of want to be Queenie when she gets to be old--not "like Queenie" but actually be her.
* FemmeFatalons: Subverted. She's got them, but she's a nice lady.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: Queenie is an almost comically small old Asian lady.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: If you [[spoiler:tell the truth about the Social Democrats possibly being corrupt, she'll refuse to endorse them despite having promised it in return for your help. However, she still owes a favor, and makes it clear she'll pay up if Zoë ever needs one]].
!!Hanna Roth
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JessicaHenwick
The ''de facto'' leader of the teenage gang, "The Dragonflies", in Propast, who disappeared several days before Queenie asks Zoë to find her. She is a Dreamer like Zoe, although her powers are presumably a lot weaker.
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler: Like Zoe. She was the second child created, whereas Zoe was the first.]]
* AstralProjection: Like Zoe, she can project herself into other worlds. Her powers are indicated to be less advanced, though, and she isn't aware of the true scope of what she's doing.
* ButchLesbian: She's got the punk look down and her love interest is the more [[LipstickLesbian conventionally attractive]] Abby.
* {{Courier}}: Her main source of income comes from organizing and making deliveries of goods her clients would rather have goes unnoticed by the EYE.
* ReluctantRuler: She doesn't like the notion that the other members of "The Dragonflies" look to her as their leader, still she is fiercely protective of them and she is so respected that her word often ends up being the last in an argument.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Her clothes flatten her bustline, and her short stature in comparison to Zoe's StatuesqueStunner makes her look like a pre-teen. Her kissing scene with Abby is a little awkward as a result.
* PutOnABus: She leaves Propast for Mumbai during Book 3. [[spoiler:While this puts her in proximity to Zoë's final confrontation with Helena, Helena dismisses Hanna as a threat and she never appears again.]]
!!Falk Friedman
->'''Voiced by:''' Tim Bentinck
A "Corporate Jäger", i.e. a BountyHunter employed by corporations to take care of dirty, off-the-books business. He haunts Zoë as she is trying to establish a new life in Europolis.
* BadassInANiceSuit: Classy and elegant in a suit that probably costs thousands.
* CharacterDeath: As a possible outcome of player choices. [[spoiler:In Book Three, if Zoë tosses her Dreamer at him, he gets shot in the chest. Though he doesn't die on the spot, it's made clear when the game recounts player choices.]]
%%* CorporateSamurai
* DissonantSerenity: He's completely stoic and placid while [[spoiler: gunning down EYE's after Zoë. Even if he's shot in the chest.]]
* FourEyesZeroSoul: [[spoiler: Possibly. He can kill without remorse, although he is killing EYE's trying to kill Zoe.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: His introduction has him lighting up a cigarette in a rather sinister manner as he spies on Zoë's apartment.
* GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler: He actually is not hunting Zoë... he's ''protecting'' her -- albeit on the orders of her mother.]]
* IcyBlueEyes: Fits with his job as a hunter.

[[folder:Arcadia]]
!!Shepherd
->'''Voiced by:''' Adjoa Andoh
The Samare leader of the resistance.
* BigGood: She's the leader of the resistance and thus the last hope of the magicals races of Marcuria.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:She dies at the end of Book 4 if Kian brought Likho to Ge'en.]]
!!Enu-Mar Sand'ya
->'''Voiced by:''' Jessica Henwick
Enu-Mar Sand'ya, Twilight Child, Daughter of Te'a-Mar is a member of the anti-Azadi resistance in the Northlands.
* DeadpanSnarker: Frequently.
* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: She makes more than a few remarks about Kian being attractive without meaning to. Later, she blurts out that Zoe is also very attractive.
* MotorMouth: She has a bit of a problem about knowing when to pause whenever she has started talking.
* OverlyLongName: The girl has quite a lot of epithets (second only to April, in fact).
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: She has a tendency to blurt out rather embarrassing statements at time.
* PointyEars: As befits a Zhid, one of the fantasy races inhabiting Arcadia.
* PragmaticHero: She really doesn't like the fact that [[spoiler: Kian can choose to let a man who had sex with a young Dolmari go]], but she does think it's worth it to have a spy in the Tower.
* RedOniBlueOni: She's the wild and emotional red to Likho's (and to a lesser extent, Kian's) blue. She even wears red.
* TheSpock: As opposed to Likho's [[TheMcCoy McCoy]], she gravitates towards more pragmatic solutions to problems and moral questions, even if she doesn't like it.
* SomeCallMeTim: She knows her name is kind of a mouthful, and since her parents aren't around to make a fuss about it she prefers just to go by "Enu".
* TalkativeLoon: Downplayed, but she's kinda out there. And she does not shut up.
!!Likho
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaveFennoy
A Dolmari resistance member with a old grudge against Kian that he is still hoping to pay back some day.
* FireforgedFriends: He bonds with Kian if Kian allows him to join the mission to Ge'en.
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:If Likho is left behind by Kian when he goes to Ge'en, Likho ends up getting killed during the raid on the rebel base, but he goes down fighting and manages to save Shepherd in the process.]]
* TheMcCoy: As opposed to Enu's [[TheSpock Spock]], in a dark sense; despite his stoic surface he often puts RevengeBeforeReason, and can therefore be impulsive and rash where Enu usually is able to keep a cool head and think of the bigger picture.
* TheNotLoveInterest: While Likho and Kian are both gay and the two of them can become very close, they come to consider themselves to be brothers and not lovers.
* RedOniBlueOni: It's not a surprise the blue guy is the stoic, straight-laced one.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He dies at the end of Book Four if Kian didn't let him accompany him to Ge'en.]]
* StraightGay: If you brought him along for the trip in Book Four, he stops just short of saying this outright. The intent is fairly clear, though.
* TheStraightMan: Plays this to the more goofy Enu.
* SuperReflexes: If Kian fails to perform the ArrowCatch in ''Book 2'', he does it instead.
* TortureAlwaysWorks: A strong believer in this.
* WhyCantIHateYou: If brought along at the end of chapter 3 Likho expresses his frustration at this to Kian, saying Kian's actions are making him difficult to hate.
* YouKilledMyFather: He has a vendetta against Kian for the death of his father, which Kian was involved in. [[spoiler:If Likho survives the game, he decides to forgive Kian.]]
!!Jakai Salmin
->'''Voiced by:''' Stuart Martin
The nephew of Benrime Salmin. He used to be a merchant who frequently traded with the Azadi, but after his aunt was imprisoned in the previous game, Jakai realized the error of his ways and joined the resistance.
* FakeDefector: [[spoiler:It's implied that he only joined the resistance so he could sell them out to the Azadi for a quick buck.]]
* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: [[spoiler:Vamon pays Jakai plenty of coin for giving him the location of the resistance's base. And then Vamon throws in a bonus fatal stab to Jakai's heart.]]
!!Ulvic the Ever-Thirsty
->'''Voiced by:''' Nathaniel Parker
The publican of the Rooster & Kitten Pub. He works as an informant for the resistance
* InnocentInnuendo: He doesn't seem to realize why Zoë considers his pub's sign, which is a kitten riding a rooster, to be innuendo. Nor does he understand what's so funny about his pub's nickname of "The Cock & Pussy"
* RetiredBadass: In his younger days, Ulvic sailed the sea and had many adventures. Now he's just a publican.
!!Bip
->'''Voiced by:''' Harry Martin
A Dolmari street urchin who assists the resistance. His parents were taken were taken to the prison colony by the Azadi.
* SelectiveObliviousness: It is implied that Bip on some level knows just how bad the odds of his parents' survival are, but the thought of them being dead is such an AwfulTruth that he tries his hardest not to acknowledge it.
* StreetUrchin: He has been homeless ever since his parents were taken. While he is StreetSmart enough to survive on his own and he claims to be perfectly happy with it, it is pretty evident that he misses his old life.
* TagalongKid: He insists on coming to help Kian in Books 2 and 3. He's more helpful than a usual one [[spoiler: but he's still caught in Book 3 and must be rescued in Book 4]]. Kian preempts this in Book 5, knowing Pip will tag along unless they make sure to have someone watch him.
* YouRemindMeOfX: Kian frequently notices how much Bip reminds him of himself as a child.
!!Bandu-Ma-Seri aka "The Mole"
->'''Voiced by:''' Susan Brown
A female Banda who is the leader of Marcuria's criminal underground (pun fully intended).
* TheBusCameBack: While she mostly exits the story when she leaves Marcuria at the end of Book 2, she makes a brief reappearance in Book 4 to help Zoë find the Purple Mountains.
* IronLady: After his dealings with her, Kian comes to understand why she is so feared and respected despite her size, realizing that she is both very clever and strong-willed.
* LastOfHerKind: She explains that the Azadi wiped out the Banda, and the only reason she survived is because she was thought dead. [[spoiler:Subverted in Book 4, with the return of Ben-Bandu from TLJ. Ben-Bandu also mentions that some Banda managed to flee to the east]].
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: She doesn't really like the rebellion, but she likes the Azadi even less.
* RuggedScar: Has three sets of claw marks across her face.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: [[spoiler:The presence of the Azadi machine eventually causes her to decide to close up her operation and leave Marcuria, as she senses that something is ''horribly'' wrong about it, and she doesn't want to be anywhere near it whenever it is activated]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Or let one be killed. She's perfectly okay with killing an innocent Azadi boy to get his message.
* YouNoTakeCandle: Played with. She is actually very eloquent, but her way of speaking is quite peculiar.
!!Anna
->'''Voiced by:''' Katie Lyons
A young lady from Marcuria who meets with Kian in Book Two.
* ActionGirl: Not seen in Book 2, but implied by Kian that she knows her way in a fight. [[spoiler: By protecting Ferdows and possibly Enu, she gets to be this.]]
%%* DarkSkinnedRedhead
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: [[spoiler: She sets up Varmon to get one of these. And delivers the first blow herself.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: She's not actually part of the Resistance, but she tips off Kian to an Azadi soldier doing horrible things.
* IHaveManyNames: In Book 3, she admits that "Anna" is actually an alias and that she uses a different name in every city she travels to.
* IncompatibleOrientation: She's in love with Kian, who is gay, which makes their conversations rather awkward.
* MysteriousPast: Anna can see through Kian's cloaking veil, which is only possible if they know each other intimately. As Kian has no recollection of the woman, it begs the question of who she really is. [[spoiler: Her name is Alayna, and Kian rescued her from Vamon as a child.]]
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: She is not part of the Resistance, but she is against the Azadi occupation.
* ShipTease: She can kiss Kian. Player choice may or may not reciprocate.
* SingleTargetSexuality: [[spoiler:Tells Kian that she has loved him since he saved her from Vamon as a child, and has only ever loved him.]]
* StalkerWithACrush: After [[spoiler: Kian saved her from Vamon]] she watched him from a distance until circumstance caused her to [[spoiler: leave Sadir]]. After reuniting, she still shows shades of this.
!!General Hami
->'''Voiced by:''' Nathaniel Parker
One of heads of the Azadi's military.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Not maliciously so, but he would lock Kian away for his own safety and wait for a chance to expose Vamon and Sahya, even though Kian knows that waiting would be catastrophic.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He knows that something is up with the way Commander Vamon and Sister Sahya runs things in Marcuria. He directly says to Vamon that he really doesn't want to suspect him of any wrongdoing, but he will investigate into the matter until he knows the truth and encourages him to be forthcoming. He is also fully willing to believe Kian when he tells him that Vamon and Sahya are traitors, despite Kian being a traitor himself, pointing out that the fact Kian stands alive in front proves they lied to him. In Book Four, he agrees to hear Kian out after finding [[spoiler:the Azadi concentration camp is being used for horrific experiments]].
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:He dies fighting Vamon's men shortly after defecting to the rebellion.]]
* RuggedScar: His face is marked by quite the collection of scars. He sure hasn't earned his rank from sitting behind a desk.
!! Mother Utana
->'''Voiced by:''' Adjoa Andoh
A former teacher of Kian's and Anna's, Mother Utana is an elderly woman traveling with the First and General Hami.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Subverted. She's shown to be ambitious, she came to Marcuria because it could get her close to the Seat (possibly as a member of the Six). But she's nothing but kind. [[spoiler: Until Book 5 shows her to be a BitchInSheepsClothing.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Her kindly mother facade hides the fact that she approved of killing all magicals.]]
* FriendToAllLivingThings: She took in Kian as an orphan, taught Anna, and it's believed that she will withdraw her support to Sahya if she learns about how magicals are being exterminated. [[spoiler: Whoo, boy, did Book 5 subvert this.]]
* GoodShepherd: She's involved in the church, and is saintly and wise. [[spoiler: At least until Book 5 makes her genocidal intentions clear.]]
* HappilyAdopted: She's very motherly to both Kian and Anna, and is implied to have been their mother figure in addition to her teacher.
* SilkHidingSteel: She doesn't raise her voice, or get angry. But she can cow Sister Sahya when the latter is being disrespectful, and both Sahya and Vamon are hesitant to cross her. [[spoiler: Until she knifes Kian in the back, she never shows any violence.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: She believes that she is doing the work of the Goddess.]]
!!Ferdows
->'''Voiced by:''' Sam Fink
An engineer involved in the operation of the machinery running all throughout Marcuria.
* BackForTheFinale: It looks as if he is killed mid-game... but is present in the finale and [[spoiler: helps save the day]].
* HollywoodNerd: Skinny, with thick spectacles and oversized teeth.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Is horrified when he finds out that the magicals were being sent to prison camps and executed instead of simply relocated.
* PunchClockVillain: Most things are above his pay grade. He just runs the machinery.
* WouldntHurtAChild: He's upset the magicals are being killed, but he's really upset when he learns that it extends to children.
!!Onor Hileriss
->'''Voiced by:''' Jonathan Dow
The leader of The National Front for Faith and Family. He is currently running for the post as Leader of the City Watch in Marcuria and it is a OpenSecret that he is a collaborator with the Azadi.
* BlackShirt: He openly works for the Azadi and applauds their stigma against magic and Magicals.
* FalseFriend: Despite his cooperative attitude towards the Azadi, some of his aside comments in more private moments reveals that he really doesn't like them, and only sees them as an means to the end of getting more power for himself. He especially despises the fact that they worship a female deity and are organized as a matriarchal society.
* FreudianExcuse: He implies at one point that the reason behind his stigma against Magicals stems from his father running away with a Dolmari woman and thereby brining shame upon the family's name.
* HateSink: Pretty clearly exists to be the one guy in the game no one is supposed to like.
* HeManWomanHater: In Book Four, he makes several comments about how women should StayInTheKitchen. Just in case you thought he might have some redeeming qualities.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Managed to catch crow so he could burn him alive, only to have the same happen to him when Kian sabotages the attempt. He doesn't die on the spot, but a guard observes that he probably won't last the night.
* ManOnFire: Kian can do this to him in Book 5. It couldn't have happened to a better person.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: His antipathy against Magicals and ideas of blood, land, and honor carries very obvious connotations.
* VerbalTic: He sure likes to say "Yes!" in an emphatic tone a lot.
!!Sister Alessandra/The Administrator
->'''Voiced by:''' Jane Perry
The administrator of the Azadi concentration camp on Ge'en.
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Kian does NOT like that she is fond of his past an Apostle. Or that she fantasized about meeting him naked.
* CreepyBlueEyes: Her very pale blue eyes and the fact she is slightly bug-eyed, gives her a noticeably creepy stare.
* DissonantSerenity: She's quite calm when she talks about her plague to kill all magicals. She shows more excitement thinking about [[AllWomenAreLustful naked Kian.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Unless Kian specifically asks her for her name, she is only ever called "The Administrator" or "Sister."
* FatBastard: She is notably more plump than any other Azadi encountered in the game, and perhaps also one of the most wilfully evil ones.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Kian assumes at first that her knitting indicates she's not a wholly evil person. He could not possibly be more wrong.
* FinalSolution: One of the main people implementing one for magicals in Arcadia.
* FreudianExcuse: Her siblings were murdered by magicals, including very young children.
* {{Hypocrite}} During her MotiveRant, she complains about children being innocent of the crimes of their parents. She then explicitly complains that magical children will grow up to be just like their parents. The irony is clearly lost on her.
* MadDoctor: With her love of vivisecting and performing experiments on her victims, she is basically a female Josef Mengele.
* ANaziByAnyOtherName: A ruthless genocidal maniac who runs a literal concentration camp.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Genocidal, has a [[spoiler:pit of bodies]] in her room, vivisects live subjects (including children)...
* PlayingWithSyringes: Is about to vivisect [[spoiler:Bip]] when Kian meets her, and has no objections to [[spoiler:unethical experimentation and mass murder for the sake of a global magical genocide]].
* WouldHurtAChild: Specifically, [[spoiler:Bip]], in addition to every magical child she's ever murdered.
* YoureInsane: Kian will tell her this much. She denies the notion, because all she is doing is science after all, not magic.

[[folder:Others]]
!!Saga
->'''Voiced by:''' Unknown (child), Ava Khan (teenager), Creator/EleanorMatsuura (adult), Susan Brown (old woman)
A mysterious new female lead, announced [[http://web.archive.org/web/20090619044056/http://ragnartornquist.com/?p=655 ages ago]]. She appears as a [[PlayableCharacter playable toddler]] in the first interlude at the end of Book One.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: To Kian]].
* DeadGuyJunior: [[spoiler: She has what looks to be a mini version of the late Crow.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Adult Saga enjoys snarking at every opportune and inopportune moment.
* DimensionalTraveler: She's a shifter, like April.
* DisappearedDad: [[spoiler: In Book 5, we learn that Magnus has disappeared and never come back to the House of All Worlds.]]
* HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler: She tags along with Kian in the epilogue, posing as his daughter. When she's older, she remarks about how much she misses him.]]
* InterspeciesRomance: Seems to be a product of one: her father, Magnus, looks human, while her mother, Etta, has [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe green skin and an impossibly stunning figure]]. Saga, for her part, looks like a regular human baby, then a regular human toddler, and then a regular teenager, albeit with dyed green hair.
* MeaningfulName: Her motivation for helping the heroes in Book 5 is that "the story is already written".
* MissingMom: [[spoiler:During the second interlude, Etta has gone missing. The fact that Magnus doesn't believe she is dead and forbids Saga to go outside the house implies that she has somehow been lost in the Aether.]]
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: The spirit of [[spoiler:the White Dragon]] has watched over Saga pretty much since birth, but she is the only one who can see her (and even that seems to be the case only while she is a toddler).
* {{Reincarnation}}: [[spoiler:In Book Four, Abnaxus reveals that a part of April Ryan reincarnated in Saga, although even Lady Alvane (Saga in her old age) doesn't quite understand what their connection is.]]
* TheReveal: She is [[spoiler: Lady Alvane from ''The Longest Journey'', as well as April Ryan's reincarnation.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: She was a reason the devs avoided talking about the contents of the prologue and the interludes all the way up until the release of Book One, although this was later subverted when the placed an adult Saga front-and-center on the cover of ''The Final Cut''.
!!Magnus
->'''Voiced by:''' Stuart Martin
Saga's father.
* AdultFear: In Book Four, he wakes up to find [[spoiler:Saga has broken the wards preventing her from shifting and left the house]].
* BeardOfSorrow: Magnus has developed PermaStubble in the second interlude, and it gets even thicker in the third. [[spoiler:It is strongly implied to be due to Etta's disappearance.]]
* GoodParents: He's trying really hard to be a good father, and it shows.
* LethalChef: Etta doesn't care for his stew.
* MagnusMeansMage: He managed to build a house at the nexus of all universes and timelines of the multiverse, and has outfitted it with all kinds of magical protections and wards.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: He's absent in Book 5, having left the House between All Worlds. And Saga has no idea where he's gone.]]
* StandardFiftiesFather: His looks invoke much of this image.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: Downplayed. He is a bit shorter than Etta, but not by much.
!! Etta
->'''Voiced by:''' Sarah Hamilton
Saga's mother.
* GoodParents: She dotes on her baby girl.
* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe: She looks exactly like one, although it's never been hinted where she's from.
* HappilyMarried: Interlude 1 and the flashbacks show us that Magnus and Etta deeply loved each other.
* TheLostLenore: After she disappears from the House between All Worlds, Magnus carries a torch for her.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: She senses the presence of the [[spoiler: White Dragon]], but nothing comes of it.
* PutOnABus: She disappears after the first Interlude. It's hinted she became lost in the Aether.
* StatuesqueStunner: She towers over her husband.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She's a head taller than Magnus is.
!!Lux
The first Dreamer, and the creator of the universe.
* AmbiguousGender: Lux isn't really defined by a gender. Zoë struggles with whether to call Lux a he or a she.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Lux is naked in a scene with Zoe in Chapter 4, but has no genitals or nipples.
* BarrierMaiden: The universe exists as long as Lux dreams. If Lux died, it would mean the end of everything.
* CosmicKeystone: The soul-stone belongs to Lux.
* FemaleAngelMaleDemon: Rare inversion, the boyishly androgynous Lux is the GoodCounterpart to the clearly dark and definitely female Yaga.
* FourFingeredHands: Lux noticeably has four fingers, perhaps to showcase that Lux is definitely not human.
* FusionDance: Joins with [[spoiler:Zoë]] at the end of Book Four.
* GooGooGodlike: Lux looks a young child, but is still the being that dreamt the universe into existence.
* GoodCounterpart: The dream to the Yaga's nightmare.
* PowerTattoo: When the [[spoiler: FusionDance with Zoë]] occues, an orange tattoo appears on her face. Lux also has a number of tattoos, but it's unknown if powers come with them, like Zoe's in Storytime.
* {{Telepathy}}: Lux communicating with Zoë happens entirely telepathically, with Zoë RepeatingSoTheAudienceCanHear. Lux only vocalizes grunts and giggles.
!!Baeb-Ayae-Gh'aa aka Baba Yaga
The Wicker Witch.
* BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil: She sees herself as a necessary counterbalance to Lux, stating that without darkness and fear, there can be no imagination and therefore no dreams.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Or in her case, Gods Needs ''Fear'' Badly. By the time Zoë meets her, she is in a weakened state as all her agents meant to spread fear in her name are either dead, or in the case of Klacks, have lost their powers.
* GreaterScopeVillain: She commanded both the Gribbler and Roper Klacks, two bosses from the first game.
* TheHecateSisters: She shifts around between these three forms while speaking to Zoë.
* HumanoidAbomination: For what corresponds to a literal God of Darkness and Fear, she appears very humanoid when speaking to Zoë.
* LiteralSplitPersonality: She mentions that she didn't always take the form of the Hecate Sisters, it was apparently a side-effect of Lux dreaming the universe into existence.
* TimeAbyss: She existed before Lux created the universe.
* TheSacredDarkness: The Yaga is very much a primordial evil, by she is the kind of DarkIsEvil that makes Lux's Light stand out and makes human create and invent out of fear of it. This is in contrast to the "black fire" darkness, which seeks only to unravel the dream/creation and is pretty obviously the Undreaming.
* SonOfAnApe: She dismissively refer to both Zoë, and humanity as a whole, as "monkeys".
