!!The novel:
* CompleteMonster--"Presto": [[spoiler:Roman Emperor is a famed magic man who is accused of "dirty magic", or real magic. The rumors are true: Roman makes a [[DealWithTheDevil bargain with the eldritch spirit of Death for power]], emptying out old graves as a [[HumanSacrifice sacrifice]] to her, but the true bargain is filling them up again. At each show, Roman kills dozens of believers with his power, especially [[WouldHurtAChild children]], to keep his power and fame going--the same show that the protagonist Pete is now attending, with clear implications the latter will be another victim of Roman.]]
* TheWoobie: Dirk Rogers. He's a kindly FriendToAllLivingThings who is slowly driven insane by working jobs at both a zoo and a slaughterhouse, which exacerbates his pre-existing mental health issues. [[spoiler:It culminates in him killing Eula the gorilla, an animal he genuinely loved and cared for, in a disassociative episode, much to his own horror.]]
