* ModestRoyalty (to varying degrees) governors Jona Worden (an IntrepidReporter turned YoungAndInCharge UnexpectedSuccessor) from the novella "Old Soldiers Never Die", Lio Trevellyan from ''Cain's Last Stand'', Alaric [DuPanya=] from ''The Emperor's Finest'', and Kerin from the short story "The Bigger They Are" are probably the most popular governors in a series with almost as many likable or competent governors as the rest of the ''Warhammer'' franchise combined.

Added DiffLines:

* Sergeant Alem Mahat only appears in the last few chapters of ''The Traitor's Hand,'' but has a decent following for being a tough SergeantRock who gets some touching and hilarious moments of being a HeroWorshipper toward Cain in a gradually literal fashion.

* FriendlyEnemy Gorok makes a decent impression throughout his surprisingly and regrettably few scenes in the first book.
* The two unnamed, WeHardlyKnewYe Ork {{Mook}}s from Caves of Ice who manage to engage in close-quarters combat with the Necrons (with one destroying a Necron and the other using a dismembered body part as a weapon) are probably more popular than any warboss in the ''Cain'' series.

* Alaric Tayber- the efficient Perlia PDF official who helps kick start Cain's rescue of thousands of people- and BadassBureaucrat Scrivener Norbert from ''Death or Glory'' are both among Cain's more frequently-praised one-book allies.

MauveShirt Demara from the same book also has her share of fans for being a BloodKnight who gets some touching bits of CharacterDevelopment and [[spoiler:a particularly sad death.]]


Added DiffLines:

* Chaplain Tope is only in a couple of scenes of ''The Last Ditch'', but his BadassPreacher moments and status as a rare "emperor-bother" whom Cain can tolerate win him some fans.

* Horatio Bugler and Igor Yaitz from the third book may be {{The Ghost}}s, but their dynamic HeroOfAnotherStory naval exploits make for good reading and make them memorable to the fanbase.* WellIntentionedExtremist (with a heavy, heavy emphasis on the "extremist" part) Ernest Stavros Killian only appears in the final act of a single novel (with his existence barely even being hinted at before then), but his interesting past and FauxAffablyEvil attitude before turning on Cain make him one of the best-remembered villains in the series.

As a long-running ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' universe work that blends action, comedy, and drama particularly well (while also having a constantly rotating supporting cast), ''Literature/CiaphasCain'' has many surprisingly popular minor and secondary characters.
-----
* Among the semi-regulars, fans really like SergeantRock Lustig, his UnluckilyLucky subordinate "Jinxie" Penlan, and ReasonableAuthorityFigure General Zyvan.
* Sorel, the ColdSniper from the first book is quite popular.
* Mira, Cain's GirlOfTheWeek in the seventh book, has a modest fanbase for managing to be both a humorous UpperClassTwit and a decent ActionGirl at the same time.
* Alaric Tayber- the efficient Perlia PDF official who helps kick start Cain's rescue of thousands of people- and BadassBureaucrat Scrivener Norbert from ''Death or Glory'' are both among Cain's more frequently-praised one-book allies.
* Alaric's sister Felicia Tayber (who makes one reappearance after ''Death or Glory'') appears to be very popular among fan artists, likely due to being the only canonically attractive tech priest in 40K and having a GenkiGirl personality.
* Kayla and Donal are considered the most notable of Cain's commissar cadets in the sixth book.
* Sister Julien, the Perlia Battle Sisters inspector, made a surprisingly decent impression on fans in her one book.
* Amberly's....eccentric psyker Rakel is a minor member of her entourage but has her fans.
* Horatio Bugler and Igor Yaitz from the third book may be {{The Ghost}}s, but their dynamic HeroOfAnotherStory naval exploits make for good reading and make them memorable to the fanbase.* WellIntentionedExtremist (with a heavy, heavy emphasis on the "extremist" part) Ernest Stavros Killian only appears in the final act of a single novel (with his existence barely even being hinted at before then), but his interesting past and FauxAffablyEvil attitude before turning on Cain make him one of the best-remembered villains in the series.
* Tech-priest Logash and troopers Simla, Hail, and Lunt only appear in ''Caves of Ice'', but have big fanbases for being decently fleshed-out characters who accompany Cain and his regular supporting cast for some of the series' most memorable and frightening battles.
* SurprisinglyEliteCannonFodder Perlian militia fighters and ''Series/DadsArmy'' [[{{Expy}} expies]] Manrin, Jaq, and Franka only appear in two scenes of ''Cain's Last Stand'', but are pretty well-liked.
* Anzibel only has a couple of scenes in ''Vainglorious'', but is quite popular for being the first Necron in the Cain books to get a personality (and an interesting one at that, of haughty pettiness mixed with PragmaticVillainy).
* ArmyScout Calen from ''Dead in the Water'' and DarkActionGirl Malicia Mortalyss from ''The Devil You Know'' play large roles in the tie-in audio dramas' limited popularity.
