A scrappy-haired 12-year-old high elf. Torrin is one of many homeless children and orphans. She is recruited to the party for her magical prowess, but she refuses the vast wealth Snake Professional offers her in exchange for him opening a benefit for orphans and homeless people instead. Torrin feels neglected by Payola and the empire, and is glad to try to instigate some change.

----

* TheHero: While often shy and nervous, Albee tends to display the most heroic traits of the cast and acts as the prime instigator for their involvement in plots
* ItsAllAboutMe: Downplayed. Her brashness and desperation to save her family leads her to ignore the needs of her friends. Kreedis notes that someone can be complete self-absorbed and ego-driven, but still be a caring person.
* LeeroyJenkins: She just can't resist leaping right into danger before the crew can put together a plan. She even gets confused and upset when Cordelia suggests they wait before rescuing her parents, interpreting it as a betrayal.

Currently engaged in a demonic pact with Cheddar the demon.
----
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Making a pact with a demon does little for her reputation and quickly results in a hunt for her head.

* MustHaveCaffeine: She loves coffee and will take any substitute she can find.
* NamesTheSame: She was named after the world itself, which confuses most of the NPCs they encounter.
* NoSocialSkills: Surprisingly averted. Despite her life of solitude, she's actually very pleasant and easy to talk to. However, she's also rather blunt and ignorant of social cues and ettiquette.

->'''Played By:''' Christopher Hastings
Once a nobleman and powerful wizard, Frederick de Bonesby attempted to turn himself into a lich. Through some unknown mishap, he turned himself into a skeleton while losing most of his magical powers. Traveling with his personal chef Stirfry, the self-centered spellcaster goes to Polaris University to relearn his magic and complete his ritual.
----
* CantTakeCriticism: He's ''incredibly'' self-conscious, going into a screaming fit if someone sees him without his wig.
* FreudianExcuse: The de Bonesby house enforced a strict hierarchy of privilege and punished any sign of weakness that might evolve.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: He's not particularly subtle when he's ''trying'' to be rude and most of his insulting comments tend to be completely ignorant rather than full of malice.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Slowly, ''slowly'' starts to grow out of his shell and show genuine interest in lives of the party.
* LackOfEmpathy: He struggles to express any empathy for the people around him. He's notably ''surprised'' when he realizes he cares about Cordelia and the others.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Easily the most (openly) immoral of the party and openly advocates murder as a quick solution to problems. In one notable example, after encountering a dead Kenku in "Murder of Crows," he immediately assumes the cast has decided to murder them and begins plotting to assassinate the others.

----
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Stirfry is overly talkative, obsessively needy, and often operates on a weird layer of reality compared to the others. However, it soon becomes clear that he's very willing to resort to murder, even if it isn't necessary.
* GreenEyedMonster: He quickly lashes out against anything that seems to infringe on his territory as the party's quirky friend.
