The characters of Joe Abercrombie's ''Literature/TheFirstLaw'' and related works. Currently involves a little redundancy - characters who are significant enough in early books to warrant an entry are also mentioned in the pages for later books (i.e, [[spoiler:Shivers]].)

Due to the sheer amount of characters and their shifting allegiances, '''Beware of Unmarked Spoilers''' up to the ''Age of Madness'' trilogy. Asterisks (*) mark POV characters, with the books that take place from their perspective listed under their name.
