* AdaptationalWimp: It's almost pitiful how easy he is to dispatch compared to his ''Blossoming Trail'' self, as a direct consequence of him being made of paper being played more realistically than before.

** He immediately tries to join Chloe in her fight against Boscha, ignoring not only how Chloe wants to ''help'' her, but that Boscha, being a fire magic user, is practically a ManOfKryptonite to him.
** Then, when Chloe's about to get her to see reason, Lexi slices her eyes with his papers, which only succeeds in pissing her off.
** Later, when he first encounters Hazel and she reveals herself to be part of the Apex, Lexi wastes no time attacking her, even after Hazel shows herself to be much more dangerous than she lets on.

However, it's eventually revealed he's actually based on [[Anime/YuGiOhSEVENS Nail Saionji]] but he and Joey have met in the past.
* DartboardOfHate: He has one of these with a symbol of the Apex as the bull's-eye.
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Uses his papers to slice Boscha's remaining two eyes to blind her.]]
* ExactEavesdropping: He's around just in time to hear a simplified retelling of Chloe's life before she entered the Train.
* FlyingBooks: He's accompanied by a few of these, a reference to his home being a library filled with flying books.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: What his adventures with Joey Wheeler was like is anyone's guess.
* IgnoredExpert: He's more than ready, and happy, to tell Chloe about who Mahamayuri is, but is ignored as soon as he admits she's not a demon. WordOfGod is that the canon Chloe would ''always'' open up and listen to him, even if she's not feeling like it.
* LightIsGood: Has light blond hair and dresses in pale clothing, and is specifically based off Nail Saionji who was a ''much'' [[NobleDemon nicer]] [[EvilVirtues person]] than [[{{Sadist}} Specter]] [[LightIsNotGood was.]]
* MisterExposition: ''Tries'' to be this to explain who Mahamayuri is. Chloe dismisses him when she finds out that she's not a demon.
* PaperPeople: Like in ''Blossoming Trail'', but this time he's shown with multiple books surrounding him.
* PrecisionFStrike: Calls Zenith Fantasy "assholes" whereas the original Lexi had a clean mouth.
* ShapeshifterDefaultForm: He mostly walks around in a form based on Nail Saionji, but he can change his form at will.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He's based off Nail Saionji -- who had glasses with white frames -- and he acts as exposition.

A legendary trio who traverse the Train to clean up the Apex, and later are tasked to end Boscha's reign of terror.

[[folder:In General]]
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Melancholy Afterlife" focuses on their OriginStory, primarily on how Chloe and Lexi first met.
* AlternateSelf: To the Red Lotus Trio from their home story, ''Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail''.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: They're a kind group who are working to stop the Apex (and later Boscha) from harming denizens. They are ''not'' to be trifled with as [[spoiler:Lexi actually uses his papers to damage Boscha's eyes and Chloe ends up ''incinerating her''.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:After Boscha's soul was split off from her body, the group makes a truce with Zenith Fantasy to help heal her before they go back to murdering one another.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards: Even they find Louise's haughty attitude unbearable.
* ExpyCoexistence: They exist in the same world as the Ruby Sulphur Trio, who are based on them.
* FamedInStory: To give you a hint on how famous they are, their name is ''copyrighted'' on the Train. When Louise teams up with them in "The Spelling Bee Car", Chloe just squeals on how they're "Legendary".
* GoodCounterpart: Of the Ruby Sulphur Trio, as they are TrueCompanions on the Train helping to stop evil and get along very well, while Boscha is the VillainProtagonist and Chris and Phos are going with her so she doesn't go on a meltdown, and will go against her if need be.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: They have their own adventures separate from the Ruby Sulphur Trio.
* KamehameHadoken: They perform the kamehameha [[spoiler: to try take out the Ruby Sulphur Trio and Zenith Fantasy]] near the end of Chapter 11.
* PowerTrio: It's in the name.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: A girl with a donut holer, a talking dog and a sentient book dressed as a Yu-Gi-Oh character.

[[folder:Atticus]]
King of Corginia, Uniter of the Pembrokes and Cardigans and a proud member of the Red Lotus Trio.
----
* CoolCrown: He's constantly described with a crown on his head.
* TheComicallySerious: His tail really likes to waggle even when he's being serious.
* DogsAreDumb: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. He's not stupid, but is less smart than Chris, as the sentient crystal ball beats him in chess.
* HeroicDog: A corgi who is part of the Red Lotus Trio.
* NoNameGiven: He wasn't named initially and was labeled as "Dog with a crown".
* NonActionGuy: He doesn't fight -- as there's so much he can do as a dog -- so he instead plays chess with Chris.
* ParentalSubtitute: Kinda acts like one to Chloe, who has ParentalIssues with her father and is otherwise alone on her Train trip.
* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: When he says he'd love to serve Peacock's pancakes in Corginia and the girl points out his subjects don't have hands, he answers they'll eat them with their mouths.
* RoyalWhoActuallyDoSomething: He decides to come along with Chloe on her journey through the Train, acting as a voice of reason.
* TheSmartGuy: Of the Red Lotus Trio, mirroring Chris.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess: While everyone is trying to kill each other, he and Chris play chess. From Chris's observations, Atticus isn't good at it.

[[folder: Lexi]]
One of the members of the Red Lotus Trio, a book who can detach his papers to a human form and fold his body to whatever he pleases. His and Chloe's meeting is the subject of the prequel story, ''Infinity Train: Melancholy Afterlife''.
----
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: From what's seen so far, Lexi was never torn apart by Grace and Simon so he never ended up BuriedAlive.
* AdaptationExplanationExtrication: In the original story, Lexi's beef with the Apex was born after Simon and Grace not only tore his pages off, but left him BuriedAlive for nearly a decade. Since no such thing is implied to have happened in this universe, his anger at the Apex seems more general than usual.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Has no personal vendetta against the Apex, as he wasn't torn apart by Grace and Simon, but still contains his vindictive personality to want them dead. He also will be willing to fight dirty.
** In the prequel, he shows two different sides of him: he has a hard time deciding what to base his appearance off of, and shows a bit of a smug attitude when he thinks Chloe can't tell him an interesting story. This goes hand in hand with his age this time (12 - 13 compared to 16).
* AgeLift: Was around the equivalent of 16 in ''Blossoming Trail'' (to match with his appearance of Specter) but is 12-13 here (to match Nail Saionji, who is actually 11 in canon)
* AnimateInanimateObject: Again, he's actually a book, but he just separates his pages to give him a human appearance.
* CombatPragmatist: Aside from throwing papers into people's faces to blind them, he also [[spoiler:will slice their eyes, as Boscha can attest. Even Chloe is shocked at that tactic.]]
* {{Expy}}: Given the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' character he was in ''Blossoming Trail'' and how he's described as "blond with pale clothing", he's presumably based his appearance on Joey Wheeler/Katsuya Jounochi. However, it's eventually revealed he's actually based on [[Anime/YuGiOhSEVENS Nail Saionji]] but he and Joey have met in the past.
* DartboardOfHate: He has one of these with a symbol of the Apex as the bull's-eye.
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Uses his papers to slice Boscha's remaining two eyes to blind her.]]
* ExactEavesdropping: He's around just in time to hear a simplified retelling of Chloe's life before she entered the Train.
* FlyingBooks: He's accompanied by a few of these, a reference to his home being a library filled with flying books.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: What his adventures with Joey Wheeler was like is anyone's guess.
* IgnoredExpert: He's more than ready, and happy, to tell Chloe about who Mahamayuri is, but is ignored as soon as he admits she's not a demon. WordOfGod is that the canon Chloe would ''always'' open up and listen to him, even if she's not feeling like it.
* LightIsGood: Has light blond hair and dresses in pale clothing, and is specifically based off Nail Saionji who was a ''much'' [[NobleDemon nicer]] [[EvilVirtues person]] than [[{{Sadist}} Specter]] [[LightIsNotGood was.]]
* MisterExposition: ''Tries'' to be this to explain who Mahamayuri is. Chloe dismisses him when she finds out that she's not a demon.
