18!Main Characters
19
20[[folder:Robert "Bobby" Pendragon]]
21
22The main character of the series and the Traveler from Second Earth.
23----
24* ActionSurvivor: Starts out as this because he has no idea what's going on and is trying to survive.
25* AfraidOfClowns: Bobby hates clowns. When he has to stay in a room full of clown dolls for the Quillan Games, he outright refuses, and only relents at first because there are no other rooms available.
26-->In my opinion {{there are two kinds of people|InTheWorld}}: those who fear and hate clowns... and clowns.
27* AmazonChaser: He crushes on Courtney, who scares the other boys with her strength of will and merciless competitive streak. He's also attracted to Loor, a ProudWarriorRaceGirl with a staff.
28* AnchoredShip: [[spoiler:With Loor. She won't date him while they're still fighting to save the universe, though they are mutually attracted to each other and she doesn't specify whether she'd consider doing so after the war.]]
29* BigManOnCampus: "School came easy, I kicked ass at sports" etc.
30* CharacterCatchphrase: "And so we go."
31* ComingOfAgeStory: He specifically muses about whether the journey is one for him.
32* DeadpanSnarker: Both in his journals and outside of them, he's never short of sarcasm.
33* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Bobby manages to [[spoiler:''kill'' Saint Dane]] when [[spoiler:Saint Dane]] attacks him in a blind rage in ''The Rivers of Zadaa''. Unfortunately, it doesn't stick.
34* DirtyCoward: Starts out as this because a Traveler's duty sounds "noble and all" but far too dangerous.
35* FailedASpotCheck: He somehow fails to realize dados look exactly like [[spoiler:his best friend Mark Dimond.]]
36* FirstPersonSmartass: His journals have a lot of snark.
37* HasAType: He tries to reassure a jealous Courtney by saying that Loor isn't his type but she disagrees. "We can both kick your ass."
38* HealingHands: [[spoiler:He possesses the subconscious ability to heal people by touching them, bringing Loor back from the dead at the end of ''Rivers of Zadaa'' with this power.]]
39* TheLeader: He is expected to replace Press as a Charismatic Type in Denduron and lead the revolution. This freaks him out. He later turns out to be the lead traveler.
40* LastNameBasis: To anyone he meets on his adventures, he's known as Pendragon.
41* LovableJock: He's a great friend to Mark, and a good basketball player before starting his adventures as a Traveler.
42* MagneticHero: He ends up making friends on all the territories, even if the Travelers aren't initially friendly to him.
43* NonActionGuy: In books 1-5 he can only barely defend himself against similarly non-action opponents. After Saint Dane nearly kills him in a fight at the beginning of ''The Rivers of Zadaa'' he TookALevelInBadass and trained with Loor to learn how to defend himself.
44* NotDistractedByTheSexy: Telleo attempts to seduce him a few times in books 8 and 9, but Bobby is disinterested.
45* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Before Uncle Press dragged him to a Flume, he was just a kid going to school.
46* TheProtagonist: He narrates the journals and the other half revolves around him.
47* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:Bobby learns he and all the Travelers are spirits from Solara just like Saint Dane is.]]
48* TookALevelInBadass: In book six; after [[spoiler: Saint Dane beats the everloving shit out of him]], he decides to take fighting lessons from Loor and Alder.
49* ShipSinking: In book 6, Bobby apologizes to Courtney through his letters, but admits he loves Loor and can't see himself being able to settle down with Courtney after everything he'd been through. [[spoiler:However, after a time reset in book 10 Bobby forgets his past and settles with Courtney in the rebooted universe.]]
50* ShipTease: [[spoiler: With Loor, of the UST type. The teasing flat out leads him to confess to loving Loor in book 6.]]
51* WhiteMaleLead: In a cast of travelers full of female and non-white travelers, plus one non-human. Also the only one to come from present day Earth.
52* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's scared of snakes and clowns.
53[[/folder]]
54
55[[folder:Mark Dimond]]
56
57Bobby's best friend since childhood. Despite being a nerd while Bobby was a jock, the two got along very well and had many common interests.
58----
59* AcePilot:[[spoiler: After the time skip. It's foreshadowed by the driving skills he displays in the previous book.]]
60* ActionSurvivor: [[spoiler:After he's transported to the Saint Dane-controlled Third Earth, he became much more badass as a result of trying to survive in a ruined desert AfterTheEnd.]]
61* ActuallyADoombot: [[spoiler:The dados]] look exactly like him thanks to [[spoiler:Mark inventing them]]. That comes in handy when [[spoiler:he almost gets executed, since Nevva just switches him with a dado.]]
62* AdrenalineMakeover: Due to both his circumstances and due to [[SheIsAllGrownUp being a few years older,]] Mark is described as becoming much more muscular and attractive in ''The Soldiers of Halla'' as compared to his pasty nerdy appearance previously.
63* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:Mark admits he loves Courtney as she's holding a gun to his chest and she confesses her love for him. She believes he's turned to Saint Dane's side, while he has no idea what's going on.]]
64* BadassBookworm: Starting in ''Black Water'', after [[TookALevelInBadass he takes his first level in badass]], he becomes the skinny and nerdy boy who is nonetheless handy to have in a fight.
65* BlindWithoutEm: He really needs his glasses.
66* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: Saint Dane kills his parents to do this.]]
67* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Gender swapped; he is the Gentle Boy to Courtney's Brooding Girl in ''The Rivers of Zadaa'' after Courtney's HeroicBSOD kicks in.
68* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: He was Bobby's best friend and becomes friends with Courtney. When the pair enter high school, his and Courtney's dynamics shift so he is the popular OnlyFriend to Courtney's TheShutIn.
69* CorruptTheCutie: [[spoiler: At the hands of Nevva Winter and Andy Mitchell. While Andy Mitchell (Saint Dane in disguise) became Mark's ToxicFriendInfluence, he also crashed a plane with Mark's parents on it. Which is when Nevva Winter shows up, conveniently giving Mark a way and reason to change the past...]] Subverted, in that [[spoiler: he was simply another UnwittingPawn, and wasn't doing anything with malicious intent. He didn't even know Nevva was working for Saint Dane.]]
70* CovertPervert: One early edition of the first book mentions he has "cutesy hentai posters" hanging in his room. Presumably this is due to research failure on [=MacHale=]'s part, as that line is altered in later editions.
71* DemotedToExtra: In the [[spoiler:rebooted timeline, Mark moves away and very little is heard of him until he dies of cancer.]]
72* DistractedByTheSexy: In the first two books, before he gets used to Courtney, Mark is stunned and gets tongue-tied in her presence. This calms down as he gets to know her.
73* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:Mark is unaware Nevva Winter is working for Saint Dane until it's too late. Courtney is aware Nevva Winter is evil but doesn't know Mark is being manipulated.]]
74* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:He is given a briefly described and horrible death by cancer after the time reset.]]
75* EmotionallyTongueTied: He can barely talk to Courtney without stuttering and fumbling over his words before he gets used to her presence, and freaks out when Courtney leads him into the girls' bathroom to read a journal in private.
76* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: He goes through one after he finds out he can't reverse his changes to the past.]] Courtney helps him get through it.
77* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Because he always wants to see the good in people, he befriends former bully Andy Mitchell. Andy Mitchell is really [[spoiler:Saint Dane in disguise.]]
78* LovableNerd: He's probably the kindest character in all the books, and always wants to see the good in people. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, it makes him a little naive...]]
79* OutOfFocus: In book 10, despite him [[TookALevelInBadass taking a level in badass]], he appears for brief moments but is absent for a big chunk of the book. [[spoiler:After the time reset he is flat out PutOnABus and ''then'' the bus suffers a BusCrash.]]
80* StutterStop: Inverted. Mark had a habit of stuttering in the early books, especially around attractive people like Courtney. He loses this habit over the course of the novels, but it will still return when he is under a great deal of stress. [[spoiler:This is played straight when he manages to return Courtney's AnguishedDeclarationOfLove towards him without a stutter despite her holding a gun to his chest.]]
81* TeenGenius: He is so good at science that he manages to [[spoiler:[[ButterflyOfDoom alter history]] with his invention.]]
82* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: During the time skip between ''Raven Rise'' and ''The Soldiers of Halla'' he becomes an ace pilot.]]
83* TrademarkFavouriteFood: Carrots, at least in the first few books. He eats them to help his eyesight.
84* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: Saint Dane's, under the guise of Andy Mitchell.]]
85[[/folder]]
86
87[[folder:Courtney Chetwynde]]
88
89Bobby's girlfriend. After years of {{UST}}, they finally hooked up right before Bobby got sent away in the beginning of the series.
90----
91* AlphaBitch: [[LovableAlphaBitch Subverted.]] While Mark was at first terrified of her, assuming her to be such, and Courtney was sharp-tongued with him at the start of the series, Mark's impression of her changed as he got to know her and she gradually lost any bitch tendencies [[FallenPrincess as she took a fall from grace.]]
92* AlliterativeName: Courtney Chetwynde.
93* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:She confesses her love for Mark in book 8 while she's pointing a gun at his chest, believing he was going along with Saint Dane's plans on purpose.]]
94* BreakTheCutie: Courtney goes through the wringer after book 5, losing her popularity and goals in life and believing she and Mark only made things worse for Bobby. She breaks so thoroughly she becomes TheShutIn for a while. And then things get ''worse'' when [[spoiler:Saint Dane flat out runs her over with a car.]]
95* BroodingBoyGentleGirl: Gender swapped; she is the Brooding Girl to Mark's Gentle Boy in ''The Rivers of Zadaa'' after her HeroicBSOD kicks in.
96* BrokenAce: Starting in book 5, Courtney loses her popularity in school due to being outclassed by older and stronger girls in sports. After [[spoiler:being manipulated into destroying Eelong's flume]] she enters a flat out HeroicBSOD and [[{{Hikikomori}} becomes a shut-in.]]
97* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler:Mark is unaware Nevva Winter is working for Saint Dane until it's too late. Courtney is aware Nevva Winter is evil but doesn't know Mark is being manipulated.]]
98* FallenPrincess: She goes from most popular girl in school in junior high to a nobody in high school, which greatly impacts her self-esteem.
99* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Following the events of ''Black Water'' and the shifts in her life upon entering high school, as well as manipulation from Saint Dane and nearly getting killed by him. Fortunately, she finds it in herself to climb out of her funk and take her life into her own hands. Hey, she isn't a PluckyGirl for nothing.]]
100* {{Hikikomori}}: [[spoiler:She enters a severe depressive episode due to the events of Black Water and becomes a shut-in for half the duration of book 6.]] Fortunately, she recovers.
101* LovableAlphaBitch: Merciless at volleyball and is all business off the court, but she's still a NiceGirl towards people she knows.
102* MouthyKid: She mouths off to everyone up to and including a police officer.
103* PluckyGirl: Her determination is often described as "a girl on a mission."
104* ProperlyParanoid: She was right about [[spoiler:Andy Mitchell]] not being what he seemed.
105* RightForTheWrongReasons: [[spoiler: Mark thinks she's just being paranoid and wants to see the bad in Andy Mitchell after he becomes friends with the former bully. She's right about something being wrong, but she didn't guess Andy Mitchell was Saint Dane.]]
106* ShipTease: With Spader in ''Black Water''. Following this, she has a great deal of it with Mark and [[spoiler:book 8 even ends her and Mark's plotline with an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove.]] However, [[spoiler:nothing comes of either of these developments as time is reset at the end of Book 10 and Bobby and Courtney get married in the rebooted timeline.]]
107* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: Saint Dane's, twice. Once when he seduces her and hits her with a car, secondly when he uses her extensive injuries as an in to get close to Mark. Saint Dane also intended for her to off Mark after he'd outlived his usefulness, but she doesn't go through with it.]]
108* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: [[spoiler: Ultimately marries and grows old with Bobby.]]
109* WorthyOpponent: Played for laughs. Loor and Courtney size each other up and find each other worthy romantic rivals for Bobby.
110* WrongGuyFirst: [[spoiler:The first guy she agrees to date ends up being Saint Dane in disguise.]]
111* YankTheDogsChain: She thinks of helping to save Eelong as a chance to finally prove herself after the shock of suddenly going from TheAce to an ordinary student who fails at everything. Then [[spoiler:her being there and bringing the antidote ends up getting a traveler killed and two trapped.]]. And then just when she is starting to recover from her resulting depression [[spoiler:she gets run over by her boyfriend who's really Saint Dane.]]

113
114!The Travelers
115
116[[folder:Press Tilton]]
117
118Bobby's cool uncle and the one responsible for whisking him away to save the territories.
119----
120* BadassLongcoat: He wears one whenever he's on Earth. It contributes to Bobby's image of him as "my cool uncle".
121* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: He revives at the end of ''Raven Rise''.]]
122* BadassInDistress: Shortly after a firefight with Saint Dane and harpooning a quip, he's snared by some mooks.
123* CoolUncle: Described as such in the first journal entry: an uncle who breathes in with exciting stories and does cool things with his nephew, like riding in a jet.
124* DistressedDude: He's captured early on by Denduron's royalty in book 1.
125* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Takes an attack meant for Bobby and Spader, and subsequently dies.]]
126* MentorOccupationalHazard: According to Uncle Press, [[spoiler:this is destined to happen to all of the mentor travelers.]] He himself [[spoiler:dies at the end of book 2.]]
127* TheMentor: Bobby's wise old mentor-figure.
128* PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:Much of the conflict of the later books comes about because Press told Bobby to keep the Territories separate, but not ''why'' or the consequences of merging them, leading to Bobby breaking the rules more and more out of desperation and playing into Saint Dane's plans.]]
129* TimeAbyss: [[spoiler:He rivals Saint Dane in age.]]
130* TravelCool: Whether it's by expensive motorcycle or by fancy sports car, Press likes to travel in style.
131[[/folder]]
132
133[[folder:Saint Dane '''(UNMARKED SPOILERS)''']]
134
135The main antagonist of the series, a shapeshifter with nebulous goals. His modus operandi is to turn worlds towards disaster by affecting a point in time that will be pivotal to that world's history.
136
137Due to Saint Dane's nature as a shapeshifting [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]], all spoilers are unmarked.
138----
139* BadassInANiceSuit: Is described as wearing a black Asian suit.
140* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: He's the one responsible for offing Nevva Winter rather than any of the protagonists.
141* BaldOfEvil: After ''Black Water'', when his hair burns off as a sign of him gaining more power.
142* TheBeastmaster: Saint Dane controls the quigs, pitch black monstrous creatures that attack anyone who approaches or comes out of the Flumes.
143* BeneathSuspicion: Saint Dane often takes the place of a nameless {{Mook}} or otherwise inconspicuous person to be BeneathSuspicion of the Travelers. Often his ruse is not exposed until the very end of the story.
144* BigBad: Every time there's a new territory in trouble, he's the one causing its problems, save for one exception. Even if it looks like someone else, it's usually really him in disguise.
145* BlindedByRage: After Bobby and Loor foil his attempt at tipping Zadaa over the edge, Saint Dane has a rare moment of completely losing his cool. He kills Loor, referring to a mysterious promise he made, and attempts to kill Bobby. He's so enraged Bobby manages to ''kill'' him. Disturbingly, once Bobby does kill him his anger [[MoodSwinger evaporates almost instantly]] and he returns to his usually smug self.
146* BreakingSpeech: Whenever he has a conversation with Bobby, he lectures him on how hopeless Bobby's situation is and how Halla will be better under his control.
147* TheBully: Andy Mitchell, Mark's childhood bully, turns out to have been him all along, making his presence instrumental to Bobby and Mark becoming friends at all.
148* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: He chooses to save Courtney when her condition takes a sudden turn for the worse in ''The Rivers of Zadaa''. However, it's far from a PetTheDog moment; he just still needs her alive to continue to manipulate Mark.
149* CharacterCatchphrase: "Welcome to [the Territory], Pendragon."
150* TheChessmaster: His plans reach across all of Halla and can span for several decades, such as getting Mark and Bobby to befriend each other by posing as Andy Mitchell, Mark's childhood bully, and later pretending to have HiddenDepths as that same bully in order to get Mark to inadvertently change the timeline.
151* DarkIsEvil: He wears all black and is the BigBad of the series.
152* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: He's able to force a homeless man to commit PsychicAssistedSuicide in the first book. This ability is never brought up again as something Saint Dane can do, even when it would be useful for him (such as when he tries to manipulate Courtney into murdering Mark after [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he stopped being useful]] instead of just forcing Mark to jump off the boat himself).
153* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: Part of his EvilPlan, see OmnicidalManiac.
154* EvilIsDeathlyCold: In ''The Reality Bug'', Bobby tackles Saint Dane to try and keep him from escaping and describes it as being like hugging a block of ice.
155* EvilIsPetty: He had no need to bully Mark as a child as Andy Mitchell, and even had to reverse course on it later in his life, suggesting he just harassed Mark for fun. Of course, Bobby and Mark became close due to Andy's bullying, so perhaps there was a goal to it all along.
156* EvilSmellsBad: In ''The Reality Bug'', he speaks to Bobby from up close; according to Bobby's narration, "his breath smelled like something had crawled in there and died."
157* TheEvilsOfFreeWill: His belief in this is why he's taking over Halla.
158* EvilOverlord: The overlord of Ravinia and all its holdings (essentially, all the known universe at that point) during ''The Soldiers of Halla.''
159* EvilPlan: His goal is to recreate Solara into a dark version of itself, [[RealityWarper letting him recreate the universe at will.]]
160* FailedASpotCheck: Press correctly reveals Saint Dane's first disguise because Saint Dane was wearing a khaki uniform rather than a blue one, mistaking the military on Earth for the police force. It's implied he was doing it on purpose, however, and he never again fails at disguising himself except when he wants to show off.
161* FauxAffablyEvil: Despite what he is, he can be VERY charming.
162* ForgotAboutHisPowers: See EarlyInstallmentWeirdness. Saint Dane possesses the ability to force people to commit PsychicAssistedSuicide, yet he tries to manipulate Courtney into getting rid of Mark rather than just making Mark off himself after he was no longer useful.
163* FreudianExcuse: Andy Mitchell claimed he bullied Mark because he had no one in life and resented how intelligent Mark was. Saint Dane later shrugs this off as a lie.
164* GambitRoulette: His plan that stretches across the entire series is either this, or one very long case of XanatosSpeedChess. The books often hint he's just very good at XanatosSpeedChess.
165* GeniusDitz: As Andy Mitchell, he appeared to be little more than a generic bully who revealed HiddenDepths to Mark as they both aged, though never so many that he didn't seem at least a little BookDumb.
166* GodEmperor: At the start of ''The Soldiers of Halla'' he rules over Third Earth's Ravinian compounds as their king and god.
167* GodhoodSeeker: He wants to be a god and thinks he is close already.
168* GoodScarsEvilScars: After his hair is burned off as mentioned above, his scalp is covered in several lightning bolt shaped scars.
169* GreenAndMean: He's Challenger Green's true identity in ''The Quillan Games''.
170* HumanoidAbomination: He's essentially an evil spirit [[TimeAbyss as old as sentient life itself]] wearing a material body over which he has [[VoluntaryShapeshifting absolute control]].
171* HumansAreBastards: Believing and advocating this is what got him here.
172* IcyBlueEyes: Coldhearted and ruthless, and his eyes are always noted. Whenever a character turns out to be Saint Dane and transforms, that's the first clue.
173* IronicName: This man is ''far'' from a Saint.
174* InTheirOwnImage: His EvilPlan to make his own Halla.
175* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Bobby theorizes that he really did intend to [[WellIntentionedExtremist create a better Halla]] but became a pure villain somewhere along the way.
176* KickTheDog: Does this through the entire series, [[EstablishingCharacterMoment and even in his first appearance]] where he hypnotizes a random homeless guy into jumping in front of a subway train.
177* KillAndReplace: [[FridgeHorror Either the people he poses as suffered this,]] or [[ParanoiaFuel they never existed at all, just being Saint Dane in disguise the entire time.]] He uses both depending on the circumstances on whichever Territory he visits.
178* ManipulativeBastard: Saint Dane is all about manipulating two sides of a conflict and convincing them to turn on each other, leading to a world's ruin.
179* ManOfWealthAndTaste: His default form wears an expensive-looking black suit and he openly enjoys taking on the role of one of the Blok trustees as it lets him live in luxury.
180* MasterActor: Saint Dane can impersonate anyone flawlessly. Never over the course of any of the novels does anyone notice anyone Saint Dane takes the appearance of acting differently than usual or suspect him of being someone else.
181* MysticalWhiteHair: From books 1-4 his default form has long white hair. He loses it after winning on Veelox.
182* NonIndicativeName: This guy is ''no'' saint. He also has nothing to do with either Saint Bernards or Great Danes, [[LampshadeHanging something that is joked about later in the series.]] However, [[UsefulNotes/Satan say it three times real fast.]]
183* NotMeThisTime:
184** He ''has'' an evil plan in ''The Rivers of Zadaa'', but when Bobby sees the mass grave he says (with a smile and a dismissal) that the virus wasn't ''his'' doing.
185** Similarly, he claims he had nothing to do with the Blok having taken over Quillan, claiming he [[KillAndReplace replaced one of the Trustees rather than having been one all along.]]
186** Bobby incorrectly assumes he [[KillAndReplace replaced Telleo.]] In that specific case, he was incorrect.
187* ObfuscatingStupidity: This is one of his tools as a shapeshifter; pretending he doesn't know the consequences of his actions and the actions that everyone around him takes. He played the role of a GeniusDitz, for example, as Andy Mitchell.
188* ObviouslyEvil: In his base form, Saint Dane wears [[DarkIsEvil all black]], has IcyBlueEyes, has [[WhiteHairBlackHeart creepy white hair]], and is [[EvilFeelsIcyCold ice cold to the touch]] and [[EvilSmellsBad smells bad]]. This is in contrast to his shapeshifted forms, [[ParanoiaFuel which look just like anyone else.]]
189* OmnicidalManiac: He's fine with killing everyone in Halla.
190* PhysicalGod: Wants to become this, and is already damn close to one.
191* PlayingBothSides: Saint Dane's favorite MO is to become someone on both ends of the Territory's current conflict. One disguise he'll reveal to Bobby right away, the other he keeps secret until he thinks it has served its purpose.
192* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: Inverted after ''The Reality Bug'', when Saint Dane's hair burns off after he wins on Veelox. Played straight in the ''Soldiers of Halla'', when he regrows long black hair after his seeming victory.
193* RedRightHand: His icy blue eyes. Subverted, as he can hide them at will, he just likes showing off to mess with Bobby.
194* RiddleForTheAges: We never learn what Saint Dane's mysterious promise entailed or who it was made to.
195* SatanicArchetype: An ancient spirit that was once part of an order-keeping celestial organization, that betrayed said organization and became their greatest enemy. He operates through manipulations, lies, and deceit, always PlayingBothSides to further his own agenda. He corrupts others to his side and makes crooked DealWithTheDevil type bargains to make his plan come to fruition. Also, if you say his name three times real fast it sounds like ''Satan.''
196* SecondaryColorNemesis: He's the true identity of Challenger Green in ''The Quillan Games'', [[RedGreenContrast contrasting with Bobby's Challenger Red.]]
197* TakeOverTheWorld: All of Halla, more like.
198* TimeAbyss: He is as old as sentient life itself.
199* TheUnreveal: In ''The Quillan Games'' Saint Dane promises Bobby information about the nature of the Travelers should Bobby win in the Games. When Bobby does, Saint Dane makes good on his promise... In such a MindScrew of a way that Bobby dismisses him as lying. While it turns out Saint Dane was telling the truth, the way he put it was so devoid of context it gave neither Bobby nor the audience any meaningful information at all.
200* VillainBall: In most books, he takes so much time to toy with the Travelers that it often leads to his failure. Though not always. It turns out even his failures were just part of the long con of getting so far under Bobby's skin that Bobby would snap and directly kill someone.
201* VillainousBreakdown: In book 6 he becomes infuriated after losing another battle and kills Loor, while also trying to kill Bobby and swearing to keep a mysterious promise.
202* VillainousCrossdresser: Indulges in this a few times in the series, to the point where Bobby once falsely assumes Saint Dane is a woman he knows in disguise. In that specific case, [[NotMeThisTime he is incorrect.]]
203* VillainousRescue: He saves Courtney's life after nearly killing her by running her over. It's all part of ThePlan.
204* VillainWithGoodPublicity: While not true in every novel, quite a few of his forms are popular among higher echelons of society, and other forms are popular among subset groups. Whenever Saint Dane appears as himself, he has at least a small cult-like following on the Territory he shows up on.
205* VoluntaryShapeshifting: The reason for his high supply of ParanoiaFuel is his transformation ability.
206* VillainousVow: In book 6, he admitted he made one in a high tension scene. This plot point is left completely unresolved.
207* WellIntentionedExtremist: According to Press, he apparently started out this way but fell down the slippery slope.
208* WeCanRuleTogether: Tries this on Bobby a few times. Bobby always says no. He later gets a useful acolyte in the form of Nevva Winter.
209* WoundedGazelleGambit: He uses Courtney in one, hitting her with a car then making sure he was the only person who could help Mark save her, causing Mark to think he was trustworthy.
210* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Saint Dane attempted to manipulate Courtney into killing Mark after Mark served his purpose. Fortunately, she can't go through with it and tosses the gun away. He makes no attempt to stop Bobby from killing Naymeer, and he later kills his second-in-command Nevva Winter after finding out she saved some of the dissidents to Ravinia in a moment of doubt about his plans.
211[[/folder]]
212
213[[folder:Loor]]
214
215The Traveler from Zadaa, a desert Territory.
216----
217* AchillesHeel: She can't swim. It makes sense, seeing as she grew up in a desert.
218* ActionGirl: Fighting is her thing.
219* AmazonianBeauty: Bobby finds her athletic body attractive.
220* AnchoredShip: [[spoiler:With Bobby. Though she says she loves him, she won't date him while they're still fighting to save the world, though she doesn't say whether she'd date him afterwards.]]
221* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Loor dies in book 6... For about 10 minutes, after which she is revived suddenly and without explanation, frightening both her and Bobby.]]
222* BigSisterInstinct: She is highly protective of her younger sister Saangi.
223* DefrostingIceQueen: Type 1. She is downright hostile to Bobby initially but later warms up to him.

225* ProudWarriorRaceGirl: Like everyone of her tribe, she has long been training in combat.
226* TheQuietOne: Never talks unless necessary.
227* SecondLove: Bobby falls for her after Courtney and [[spoiler:intended to date her after his journey if she would have him, reflecting in his journals that though he once loved Courtney, he doesn't think he'd be able to live with her peacefully after everything he's been through.]]
228* SheCleansUpNicely: When in a festival, she finally takes off her armour and wears dress clothes, and Bobby is even more stunned by her.
229* ShipTease: [[spoiler:With Bobby. They finally confess their feelings in book 6, but Loor won't date him while they still have a mission to accomplish.]]
230* StatuesqueStunner: She was always taller than Bobby until ''Raven Rise'', when he finally caught up with her.
231* TallDarkAndHandsome: Female example. She is a StatuesqueStunner with very dark skin and hair and she is extremely attractive.

233* WhenSheSmiles: As Bobby puts it, "Loor wasn't the smiley type. But when she did, it made my heart melt."

253* ParentalAbandonment: His prequel story reveals that he's an orphan.
254* TookALevelInBadass: Though he was always a knight, he becomes a better one after winning the fight on Denduron so he can be of better use to Bobby.

265* InHarmsWay: He's essentially an adrenaline junkie, and often takes risks just because it's fun.
266* LastNameBasis: His first name is Vo, but everyone calls him Spader. It's a Cloral thing.

268** And then again, [[spoiler: after the bus comes back in ''Black Water'' and he gets trapped on Eelong.]]
269* ReplacementFlatCharacter: Not flat per se, but fills the role of NaiveNewcomer in the second book that Bobby had in the first. Like Bobby, he gets CharacterDevelopment that improves his attitude.
270* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: He vows revenge on Saint Dane for Press's death and his parents' disappearance, which causes him to behave irrationally throughout book 3. Bobby has enough of his attitude and orders he go back to Cloral to cool his head.
271* ShipTease: [[spoiler: With Courtney.]]
272* SurferDude: He's the alien equivalent of one, using TotallyRadical slang and being involved in various water activities. It helps he comes from a flooded planet.
273* UnstoppableRage: He is in continuous rage mode during ''The Never War'' due to wanting revenge on Saint Dane. This nearly gets First Earth doomed and [[PutOnABus Bobby makes him go back to Cloral.]]
274* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:His rage towards Saint Dane makes him a very good UnwittingPawn, and he almost gets First Earth lost. Bobby orders him back to Cloral to get him to cool his head.]]

298* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler: As of the end of ''Raven Rise''.]]

301* DefrostingIceQueen: She warms to Bobby significantly after her BreakTheHaughty moment.

She also planned for the Pilgrims of Rayne to return to mainland Veelox one day to educate the Flighters.]]
304* FounderOfTheKingdom: [[spoiler:When the efforts to persuade all of Veelox to detach themselves from Lifelight fails, she gathers her remaining companions and escort them to the island Ibara as the last refuge of free humans]].
305* GadgeteerGenius: She is responsible for maintaining Lifelight and created a virus meant to make it just a bit worse to encourage people to leave it. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, Saint Dane had been manipulating even her for a long while.]]
306* HappilyAdopted: By her "aunt" Evangeline, who in turn became her acolyte.
307* HeroicSacrifice: She chooses to stay behind on Veelox despite [[spoiler:knowing she will be killed]] because doing otherwise might [[spoiler:change the future so Ibara is never formed.]]
308* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: Her initial hostility towards Bobby was covering up a fear of losing her purpose as a Traveler to him.
309-->With Aja, I got the feeling that beneath it all, she wasn't totally sure of herself, which is why she was always trying to demonstrate her brilliance.
310* InsufferableGenius: Brilliant but obnoxious, she never passes up an opportunity to scorn Bobby for not knowing basic facts of her world. She mostly grows out of this through CharacterDevelopment.
311* OutGambitted: Saint Dane runs circles around her, turning her win condition into a deadly virus that will kill everyone in Lifelight. [[spoiler: On the other hand, her involvement in the timeline creates another turning point for her world.]]

316* {{Tsundere}}: Type A, tsun tsun for the most part though she warms up to Bobby significantly.

But then it turns out Bobby is the lead traveler and he's going to save the territory as lead traveler. So she tries to save the territory on her own, [[spoiler:but she ends up losing]]. And even worse, [[spoiler:she dies before she gets to rejoin the fight against Saint Dane despite desperately wanting to give him payback.]]

319
320[[folder:Kasha]]
321
322The Traveler from Eelong. Works as a forager.
323----
324* AcePilot: Her skill at driving a gig allows her to significantly stall [[spoiler:the poison being dropped on Black Water]] by crashing a gig, without killing any of the gars in the way.
325* AchillesHeel: Like all [[CatFolk klees]], she is unable to swim.
326* ActionGirl: She racks up quite a body count during the course of ''Black Water''.
327* CatFolk: More like panther folk, though the trope still applies.
328* DefrostingIceQueen: She has FantasticRacism towards gars/humans and as a result dislikes Bobby at first, but she comes around in the end. It doesn't help that she feels like the Traveler business took the [[FallenHero once-heroic]] Seegen away from them, and how [[spoiler:saving Bobby's life leads to her being sentenced to death.]]
329* FantasticRacism: She's prejudiced against [[HumansByAnyOtherName gars]], thinking they're all stupid and useful only as slaves.
330* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Pushes Bobby out of the way of a collapsing flume shaft, saving him but getting crushed in the process.]]
331* JerkAss: She starts as a huge racist with a chip on her shoulder. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold She calms down as a result of character development]] over the course of book 5.
332* MissingMom: A forager who was killed by tangs, inspiring Kasha's hatred of them and leading her to become a forager herself.
333* NayTheist: She starts out as one, not believing in the Travelers or other worlds despite her father having been one and having living proof of other Territories existing in the form of Bobby Pendragon. She gets over it.
334* PantheraAwesome: She resembles a large black panther.
335* RefusalOfTheCall: At first, because she didn't believe any of it was real.
336* TheSnarkKnight: She ''is'' a [[CatsAreSnarkers cat]], after all. A dry sense of humor is to be expected.
337* StabTheScorpion: When she is in an argument with Bobby, she suddenly is about to throw her weapon... as it turns out, at a tang.
338* YouCantGoHomeAgain: By the time that she sets out for Black Water, she can't go back to Leeandra because [[spoiler:saving a gar over a klee one too many times and attacking one of them with her weapon.]]
339* YouKilledMyFather: Finding out that [[spoiler:Yorn, aka Saint Dane]] killed Seegen makes her motivated for once to be a traveler.

341
342[[folder:Nevva Winter '''(UNMARKED SPOILERS)''']]
343
344The Traveler from Quillan. She works as an assistant to the heads of [[MegaCorp Blok]].
345----
346* BeleagueredAssistant: To the Blok trustees. Her job involves constant work and verbal abuse from the ungrateful [[CorruptCorporateExecutive corrupt corporate executives]] of Blok. Even worse, they were seemingly responsible for her mother's disappearance.
347* BlueIsHeroic: Subverted. She initially appears to be on the side of the Travelers and wears a blue suit at all times, but in reality she's TheMole. She goes for an EvilCostumeSwitch to all black when she abandons any pretense of working for the Travelers.
348* BrainyBrunette: She's smart enough to outgambit both Mark and Saint Dane, at least for a small while.
349* CessationOfExistence: When she reveals Saint Dane's plans to the Travelers, he cuts her off from dark Solara and then kills her. She just fades away as a result.
350* ChildProdigy: Her parents recognized her talents and worked hard to get her into school.
351* CoDragons: Shared the position with Naymeer for a while, until Naymeer is killed.
352* CruelMercy: After her father was ReassignedToAntarctica and her mother disappeared in an assassination attempt against the Board, the same Board decide to take "pity" on Nevva and give her a job as their assistant. Nevva describes it as cruel mercy since the workload is monstrous and she must endure the Board's constant abuse while knowing they are the reason her parents are dead.
353* DisappearedDad: After he gets ReassignedToAntarctica following a bad gamble. Nevva and Elli assume he's dead.
354* TheDragon: She becomes Saint Dane's.
355* EvilCostumeSwitch: In ''Soldiers of Halla'', she wears a similar suit to Saint Dane's rather than her blue Blok suit. Bobby lampshades it to her.
356* EvilMentor: She was one to Naymeer, raising him like a son.
357* FaceHeelTurn: She's the only Traveler to have taken up Saint Dane's offer and joined him.
358* FreudianExcuse: Discussed in-series, what with ParentalAbandonment and being a HalfHumanHybrid.
359* GoSeduceMyArchnemesis: Saint Dane gives her this as her job at the conclusion of ''The Pilgrims of Rayne'' under VoluntaryShapeshifting to prevent Bobby leaving Ibara before his plan was underway. It doesn't work in ''Raven Rise'', mostly due to Bobby being squicked out due to them having previously been LikeBrotherAndSister at most.
360* HalfHumanHybrid: She is a Traveler's biological child, which shouldn't have been possible.
361* ManipulativeBitch: Seen in her dealings with Mark, where she pretends to need his desperate help on First Earth. Since Mark is cut off from Bobby's journals at the time, he has no idea she's evil and blindly goes along with her plans. Even when he finds out what she's been doing, she manipulates him into giving up his Traveler ring by threatening to kill his parents.
362* MeaningfulName: Lampshaded by Saint Dane. She is the girl who ''never'' should have been. Both because her role as the Traveler of Quillan was originally meant to go to Elli, and because her very existence -- as a Traveler born, rather than created -- was something completely unanticipated.
363* TheMole: Saint Dane's mole and the only Traveler to agree to serve him instead.
364* OfficeLady: While in theory her position as the trustees' assistant is a high honor, in practice it's a punishing and thankless job with little chance of any upper mobility in Blok. Nevva compares it to slavery.
365* ParentalAbandonment: Her father died and [[MissingMom her mother disappeared,]] presumed dead.
366* ParentalSubstitute: For Naymeer. It's implied his death affected her strongly, as she tried to talk Bobby out of killing him.
367* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Saint Dane kills her after she saves Mark from execution. Prior to that, he found out she saved a bunch of dissidents by hiding them on Eelong.
368* RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: The only thing she gets out of becoming Saint Dane's ally is CessationOfExistence after doubting him one too many times.
369* SecretaryOfEvil: Her role in Blok is to be the trustees' BeleagueredAssistant.
370* VoluntaryShapeshifting: She learns it from Saint Dane.
371* WalkingSpoiler: After book 7, she's one, hence the spoiler warning on her folder.
372* WellIntentionedExtremist: She believed Saint Dane had a larger purpose in mind than simply becoming a god and desperately needed a purpose herself.

377Nevva's mother. She was supposed to be the Traveler from Quillan, but declined, so the job was passed to Nevva. [[spoiler: After Nevva's betrayal, she took up the job in her absence.]]
378----
379* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: Accepts the role of Traveler after Nevva betrayed them.]]
380* DirtyCoward: She initially refused to become a Traveler out of fear. This bites everyone in the ass when [[spoiler:her replacement, Nevva, turns to evil.]] She also [[spoiler:failed to speak to her daughter when Nevva was finally allowed to meet Mr. Pop, which could have prevented a great deal of tragedy.]] Elli atones for this by deciding to become a Traveler and [[spoiler:convincing Nevva back to the side of good for a brief while.]]
381* HeroicBSOD: She fell into a heavily depressive episode after her husband died, which contributed to her choosing to abandon Nevva.
382* MissingMom: She's one to Nevva, having disappeared after an attack on the trustees that she was blamed for.
383* NeverMessWithGranny: In book 10, [[spoiler: she joins Bobby on a mission and does some fighting with a rifle.]]
384* ParentalAbandonment: She abandoned Nevva after her husband died. [[FaceHeelTurn Nevva did not take this well.]]
385* RefusalOfTheCall: She didn't want to be a Traveler.

388[[folder:Siry Remudi]]
389
390The Traveler from Ibara. Appearing at first to be little more than a thieving delinquent, he revealed himself to Bobby as the leader of the Jakills, a gang of kids devoted to knowing the world beyond their island.
391----
392* CoolPeopleRebelAgainstAuthority: He gained a following and friend group simply due to his rebellious nature. When Bobby meets him, he finds Siry obnoxious.
393* HeroicBSOD: He enters one [[spoiler:after discovering the truth about Veelox and after his friends die to Flighters,]] becoming much quieter and obedient to Bobby afterwards.
394* HeroWorship: [[spoiler: He worships Aja Killian and named his rebel group after her.]]
395* JerkAss: He's an arrogant, self-centered kid. He improves somewhat after witnessing how utterly awful the world beyond Ibara truly is [[spoiler:and getting all his friends killed through his own stupidity]], but he doesn't have enough screentime to fully transition into a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
396* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Just because he's a Traveler himself doesn't mean he doesn't admire [[spoiler:Aja Killian, who he named his group after.]]
397* RebelLeader: He's the leader of the Jakills.
398* RebelliousSpirit: By the time Bobby meets him, he has a complete distrust of authority and is flagrantly disregarding the laws.
399* SeekerArchetype: For much of his life, he sought out the truth about the island he lived on and the world beyond it.

407* FanOfThePast: As a history teacher from Third Earth, he's very competent in his knowledge of his own territory from the past.
408* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He dies trying to get information to Bobby on how to prevent Ravinia's rise.]]
409* OutOfFocus: He is the least-seen Traveler throughout the tale. When he finally gets some screentime in book 9, he [[spoiler:soon dies.]]
410* RippleProofMemory: As a Traveler, he's unable to be affected by changes in a Territory's timeline, [[spoiler:causing him to get a great shock when the Third Earth he lived in suddenly becomes a WretchedHive one morning.]]

432
433A brother-and-sister duo who are in charge of the Quillan Games. [=LaBerge=] handles the creative side, while Veego runs the business side.
434----
435* ConMan: [[spoiler:Veego and [=LaBerge=] are far from the creative geniuses they are lauded as; the Games mostly come from the pair having watched games from other Territories. While Veego can at least run a profitable business, this makes [=LaBerge=] all but useless.]]
436* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Veego can't stand [=LaBerge=], but he's still her brother so she resists the urge to have him killed off.
437* LesCollaborateurs: The pair couldn't care less about Quillan's morality as long as they live in luxury.
438* ExcitedKidsShowHost: [=LaBerge=] is quite enthusiastic about the Quillan games. Bobby compares him to a nutty TV personality and thinks he looks like he's auditioning for a kids' show. Doubles as DepravedKidsShowHost given the subject matter of the Quillan games almost always involves enslaved participants fighting one another at best and murdering one another at worst.
439* IronLady: Veego. She runs the business of the games, reports to the executives in control of Blok, and [[spoiler: masterminds new games based on games played on other territories.]]
440* NeverMyFault: Veego blames [[spoiler:Bobby]] for [[spoiler:Veelox]] falling apart, ignoring that the people of [[spoiler:Veelox were already turning to extreme escapism far before Bobby showed up there.]]
441* PsychopathicManchild: [=LaBerge=]. Behind his fun-loving persona [[AmbiguousDisorder he's barely functional]] and relies heavily on Veego.
442* TheQuisling: They're both collaborators used to give the people a bloody distraction and give Blok even more control over their lives.
443* SiblingYinyang: [=LaBerge=] is a PsychopathicManchild, while Veego is an icy IronLady.
444* UnknownRival: Veego is one to [[spoiler:Bobby of all people.]] Veego remembered his presence on [[spoiler:Veelox]] and blames him for the death of [[spoiler:her world.]] [[spoiler:Bobby]] has to be flat out told she was from [[spoiler:Veelox,]] and even then he doesn't recognize her.
445* UnwittingPawn: Veego and [=LaBerge=] [[spoiler:were brought to Quillan by Saint Dane, the man responsible for destroying their world. Given Veego's hatred for Bobby due to her assumption that he was responsible for Veelox's destruction, it's unlikely she'd be as helpful if she knew the truth of who she was working for.]]

471
472[[folder:Alexander Naymeer '''(UNMARKED SPOILERS)''']]
473
474Supposedly the Traveler of Second Earth in Bobby's absence. Saint Dane has him set up the cult of Ravinia on Earth. He was supposed to be Bobby's mentor, but Saint Dane gave him Mark's ring and Nevva's tutelage to prevent that.
475----
476* ApocalypseCult: He's at the head of one called Ravinia that are attempting to impose social darwinism on all the territories and merge them into one.
477* TheAntichrist: Not initially, but Saint Dane shapes him into one.
478* CoDragons: Saint Dane's, with Nevva.
479* EvilIsPetty: He had no need to sacrifice the many dissidents of Ravinia in the Yankee Stadium, doing it mostly because he was irritated that they refused to follow him.
480* FauxAffablyEvil: He takes on the persona of a calm and friendly old man, but he advocates social darwinism and the invasion of other worlds.
481* HumanSacrifice: He seemingly murders thousands of people in Yankee Stadium, ostensibly to bring about a great change in the world but in reality because they didn't believe in Ravinia.
482* [[IllGirl Ill Boy:]] As a child he was suffering from a SoapOperaDisease slowly killing him. Nevva saved his life and gave him the acolyte ring, starting his descent into evil.
483* IOweYouMyLife: His devotion to Nevva began when she cured his deadly illness as a boy and gave him an acolyte ring.
484* ManipulativeBastard: He uses visions of other territories conjured through the acolyte ring to convince others that Ravinia's beliefs are sound.
485* ObviouslyEvil: He's so clearly evil Bobby at first believes he's Saint Dane in disguise. Naymeer is extremely pleased with this case of MistakenIdentity.
486* PathOfInspiration: Ravinia, his cult, is in reality designed to overthrow the entire Earth's political order and eventually merge the Territories together into a single entity for Saint Dane to rule over.
487* SinisterMinister: Though Ravinia isn't technically a religion (at least, not initially) he might as well be one otherwise.
488* SmugSnake: He's an arrogant bastard underneath that old man persona, as shown when he doesn't get what he wants.
489* TheSocialDarwinist: Ravinia is a cult based around excellence. The more successful one is, the higher they can be on Ravinia's totem pole. This naturally results in the cult gaining a great deal of funding.
490* SoftSpokenSadist: He takes on the appearance of a kindly old man with [[WellIntentionedExtremist extremely flawed views but a desire to improve humanity]]. But the execution of thousands of people in the Yankee Stadium proves he very much enjoys to see the suffering of others.
491* UnwittingPawn: While he thought he was Saint Dane's [[CoDragons Co Dragon with Nevva]], Saint Dane was really just setting him up to be killed by Bobby as part of ThePlan.
492* VoodooShark: Naymeer's presence is meant to be explained by TheReveal that he was meant to be the Traveler of Second Earth who would mentor Bobby rather than Press, but this raises a great deal more questions than it answers. How exactly he was meant to be a Traveler is confusing given that before Nevva interfered in the timeline he seemingly died of tuberculosis long before Bobby was born or Second Earth became a territory. Press never referred to another Traveler of Second Earth and Naymeer seemingly has none of a Traveler's powers, being limited to things that any acolyte can do with their ring. He creates a flume, but this is implied to be because Saint Dane gave him the power to do so, and in ''The Soldiers of Halla'' it takes all 11 of the Travelers working together to perform a similar feat. He doesn't come BackFromTheDead like any of the others do either, implying he was subject to CessationOfExistence once Saint Dane was done with him. There's also the question of why Nevva needed Mark's ring to give to him at all, given the later reveal that Saint Dane created the flumes to begin with. Was he not capable of making a singular ring?
