The Irons Family (Cliff, Rocky, and Jewel)
The Irons Family
Portrayed by: Curt Mega (Cliff), Whitney Avalon (Rocky), and Ryan Simpkins (Jewel)
The Miner Mole Muscle (Top to Bottom: Cliff, Rocky, Jewel)
A family of miners now working for Miner Mole. Cliff Irons is also on the town council.
- Absurd Phobia: Jewel quit her internship at the local marionette theater after developing a fear of puppets. (Justified - Paul agrees that no child deserves "murder puppet nightmares".)
- Bouncers: The entire family act as this for Silas at his office, dedicated to not letting anyone in who doesn't have an appointment. They're not very good at it.
- Gullible Lemmings: Fell for Silas's propaganda about saving the town's mining business hook, line, and sinker.
- Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: While they're hostile towards the Schue-Horns and work for the antagonistic mining company, they think they're doing good for each other and the town. They're also not very good at their jobs and are mercilessly slaughtered offscreen by Truman, making you feel a bit bad for them.
- Killed Offscreen: All three of them get slaughtered by Truman when she shows up at Miner Mole looking to kill Silas.
- Paper-Thin Disguise: Jewel attempts to vote in the town council elections, despite being too young, by wearing a mustache and pretending to be an adult male.
- Prophetic Names: Lampshaded in the podcast.
- Rabble Rousers: Are excited to hunt werewolves, and stoke fears through their protesting.
- Really 17 Years Old: See Paper-Thin Disguise, above.
- Too Dumb to Live: Jewel can't tell the difference between days and months, and had to repeat the fourth grade five times before she got pulled out of school. Her parents don't seem to be much better.
- Waving Signs Around: Take up picket signs once the werewolves are revealed.
- Working-Class People Are Morons: Exaggerated, but also downplayed a bit as the podcast describes their troubles sympathetically.
Sybilus Silver II
Sybilus Silver II
Portrayed by: A.J. Holmes
Silas's accountant, and a banker for the Second Bank of Connor Creek. Also a Connor werewolf.
- Alliterative Name: Sybilus Silver the Second.
- Awesome McCoolname: Enforced by Paul.Paul: Wait, that's your name? That's the coolest name I've ever hear in my life, do you want to be my friend?
- Keeping the Enemy Close: Despite handling the accounting for Miner Mole, Sybilus is a werewolf in the anti-mining camp. Presumably, he did this to keep an eye on what the company was doing.
- Meaningful Name: Aside from being a banker who deals with silver deposits, his last name also ties to the fact that his breed of werewolf is reliant on trace amounts of silver to stay in control of the transformation.
- The Mole: Skittish, unassuming and keeping an eye on Miner Mole for the werewolves.
- Nervous Wreck: Between his stuttering and timidness, he comes across as this. Especially when there's talk of werewolves.
- Porky Pig Pronunciation: His stuttering gives him this.
- Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Though his Porky Pig Pronunciation sometimes impedes his communication skills, his use of more sophisticated words shows he is more educated than a significant portion of the people in Connor Creek.
- Sharp-Dressed Man: Wears a nicely-tailored suit in every appearance.
- Stutter Stop: Has a moment of this when explaining why the werewolves can't let the silver fall into the wrong hands. Lampshaded immediately after.Rita: [proudly] Wow. Not one stutter.Sybilus: Oh, thank-th-th-th-th-th- thank you.
Silas Torsen
Silas Torsen
Portrayed by: Titus Makin
The regional manager of the Connor Creek division of Miner Mole.
- And Show It to You: Gets his heart ripped out and held up in front of him before collapsing dead.
- Card-Carrying Jerkass: He seems to enjoy being a jerk for the sake of it.
- Casanova Wannabe: He lays on the charm when he first meets Artemis, but it doesn't work.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: As President of Domestic Sales at Miner Mole, he exploited low-income communities by monopolizing their primary resource and embezzled company funds for personal expenses. Now, though he's been demoted to regional manager, he's doing everything in his power - including funding Truman's campaign for town council member - to get back on top.
- Fish out of Water: Discussed by Artemis, Silas doesn't fit in with the small-town folk of Connor Creek.
- Foil:
- To Truman. While Silas and Truman are on the same side, where Silas has a clear disdain for the town and a public record of misdeeds, Truman manipulates the town under the guise of bringing them together and has concealed much of her upbringing from public view. By comparison, Silas makes Truman look more trustworthy.
- To Artemis. Both cultured city-dwellers who are trying to make a name for themselves, Silas is the one who brings up Artemis's fears of appearing foolish for believing the werewolf story.
- From New York to Nowhere: While it doesn't say which city he's been excommunicated from, it's clear Connor Creek is his punishment for nearly sinking Miner Mole. He misses the city desperately.
- Gendered Insult: To Madison - "I would tell you to smile more, but I like this look on you."
- Get-Rich-Quick Scheme: Used this to rise to the top at Miner Mole, but it backfired tremendously when he was discovered dipping into company funds for personal expenses.
- Greed: Driven entirely by the desire to make cash.Silas: Why is this town so obsessed with sides? Just pick one! I am on the side of making money, you should be too.
- I Own This Town: Silas claims this to Artemis.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Silas points out that Artemis's theories sound crazy, that she is afraid of being seen as crazy, and that her airing the town's dirty laundry may not be as altruistic as she thinks.
- Mocking the Mourner: Outright insults Ryan to his sister Madison's face after his death.
- Nepotism: His rise to fame came from using his father's money.
- Properly Paranoid: Revealed in Chapter 8 that he had his office bugged. Considering he gets backstabbed by Truman, he was right. It just didn't do him any good.
- Rich Bitch: The male variant.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Zig-Zagged. Silas pays off Truman's campaign in order to get her on the town council seat so she can get him the permits to start mining in Connor Creek. But Truman, who has goals beyond the money, can't entirely be bought, so she ends up turning on him and killing him.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: As the body count of his critics increases he eventually decides to skip town. He's unfortunate enough to get murdered before his ride arrives.
- Smug Snake: Likes to rub his superiority into others' faces, particularly with Madison and Artemis.
- Southern Gentleman: A surprisingly race bent version of the trope.
- Villain in a White Suit: Wears a white suit throughout the series, and has less-than-altruistic intentions for the town. While he wasn't the murderer, he was definitely an accomplice to Truman's plan, putting him up there as a villain.
- Villain with Good Publicity: Zig-Zagged. Within Connor Creek he's a pretty divisive figure. Many of the townsfolk are delighted by the prospect that he'll bring new industry and life to their backwoods town and believe he can do no wrong, despite his clearly selfish motivations. But over time it becomes clear that there's just as many residents that hate and despise him.
- White-Collar Crime: The only kind of crime he commits, by his own admission.
