[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sailor2.png]]

A veteran of the ill-fated War of 1870, when London attempted to invade Hell. Traumatised by his experiences, he now lives in a meagre cottage on the outskirts of the city with his wife, Agnes, and spends most of his time getting drunk, killing rats, and starting fights.

* OldMoney: Many. Perhaps most examplified by the [[SmokyGentlemansClub Parthenaeum club]], which the player character can join. Its membership are generally old and respectable men of authority.

* OldMoney: Many. Perhaps most examplified by the [[GoodOlBoy Parthenaeum club]], which the player character can join. Its membership are generally old and respectable men of authority.

A good magician never reveals their secrets, and London's entertainers have quite few secrets to hide indeed. Like their involvement with entities that are dwell deep within the realms of dreams...

->"Why is there blood behind the mirrors and the smoke?"

->''Lightermen, smugglers, zailors –- rough folk, and often overlooked. But they're fierce and proud and they know the river's secrets.''

->"Travellers tell of strange tribes and incomprehensible religions, carnivorous flora, pygmy elephants and giant mice. But no-one believes travellers' tales, do they?"

->''In the deepest matters of the Bazaar, always look to love. Always.''

* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: It is [[spoiler: the player character if they win the Marvellous and select Power as their Heart's Desire]].

* ScienceWizard: Artisan of the Red Science Represents your knowledge of reality-warping sciences. To break the laws of reality or simply work around them, you have to know them ''very'' thoroughly, along with the principles that let you crack them. But if you're skilled in the Red Science, you can craft impossible devices that break physics as casually as you could break glass, and when put on the spot, you can do that all by yourself, outlining every principle and concept and the way you're subverting it all through.

* UnusableEnemyEquipment: Mr Iron does have a [[http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/profile/mr%20iron FL character]], the only one to have a 10-card lodging.

!!'''The Flukes'''
[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fl_fluke.png]]
Odd, spiky, sea-urchin-like creatures, which seem to be related to the Rubbery Men, and to serve as their... leaders? Advisers? Generals? Priests? Their precise nature is not clear... and zailors speak of even stranger varieties, like the Fiddler's Fluke and the enormous, ancient and dreaded Lorn-Flukes.

* WasOnceAMan: They are technically still human (because there was no defined point in which they stopped being so), but they have molded themselves so far from it at times in ways both physical and mental that you cannot help but wonder. If the TheseusShipParadox can be applied to ''Homo sapiens'', they would be a good case study.

* NiceMeanAndInbetween: [[spoiler: When the Chorister's Bomb is detonated, it is split into three main facets of its personality:
** Veils the Curator, a savage and bloodthirsty animal, is the Nice one, being the least intentionally malicious of the three. Yes, that's not a joke.
** Veils of the Surface, the Chessmaster is the In-between. At first, it seems the least malevolent of the three, but when it's drunk, it freely divulges it's heinous intentions, revealing itself to be AlwaysChaoticEvil.
** Veils of the Third City, its form when it appeared to the people of the Third City, is the Mean one, having committed the most atrocities. It is rude, murderous, unrepentant for its evils and refuses to learn its place. It's the only aspect that the player can't deal leniently with.]]

* TheGhost: In Fallen London, since he lives in Vienna and there is currently no way for the player to reach the surface, he has yet to make an appearance, though it's not rare to find his agents in London. Plus, he's so high up the chain of spies that him even being aware of your existence means you're ''deep'' into the game. It is possible for a Sunless Sea player to meet him however.

* CoolHelmet: More of a case of the woman making it work, but her customized Tracklayer's Helmet (think of an old time diver's helmet turned into bulky armor) is pretty nice. And quite functional, apparently even better than the ones you can buy (which somehow reduces your wounds, meaning it will keep you through literally lethal injury).

* FearlessUndead: Once you're damaged enough to become a Tomb Colonist, there's not a whole lot more life can throw at you, and Tomb Colonists generally find the horrors of the Neath to be rather boring once that line is crossed. Killing one another (honorably, of course) is even a beloved pastime in the colonies, and the reason many are master duelists.

* MadScientist: Lettice has shades of this if you hire her as a lab asisstant, with the flavour text showing her to be a destruction enthusiast, and more than a little odd. Though the game tends to imply that it's less that she's entirely mad, and more that she's bored, and old enough to have stopped giving a rat's arse ''centuries'' ago.

* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: He's [[spoiler: the player character if they win the Marvellous and select Power as their Heart's Desire]].

!!'''Sinning Jenny'''
[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fl_electionjenny.png]]
An intimate of Mr Wines, and the madam of the Parlour of Virtue. Formerly the first Mayor of London, after defeating the Bishop of Southwark and the Jovial Contrarian during the election of 1894.

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:If Nicator is to be believed, the White foresaw that Candles would be sacrificed by its fellow Masters and might have even planned it to happen to serve its own purpose. Nicator believes that by bringing about the Reckoning, you will bring that plan to fruition.]]
