Free Council Acanthus, House of Ariadne
- The Archmage: He achieves Archmastery of Time partway through the Chronicle.
- Beware the Nice Ones: He's usually pretty easygoing, which makes the times he does put his foot down all the more frightening.
Seers of the Throne

Kali's mother.
- Missing Mom: She starts out as one, and the reasons for her walking out on the family are eventually revealed.
An Exarch who may be the In-Universe inspiration for the Hindu deity of that name.
- The Dreaded: Even Samuel with his new Archmastery doesn't dare to directly confront Shiva's Ochema. Given that the Exarchs usually deploy Ochemata to go Hero Killer on pesky Pentacle Archmages that the Seers can't handle, this is actually very prudent.
