* [[spoiler: ActionDad: After the birth of Lucy he gains this distinction, shown most obviously in ''Million-Dollar Baby'']]
* AssassinationAttempt: Both of Trent's brothers did not survive to adulthood. Trent states outright that he believes the only reason he lived when they did not was because he was being protected by Jonathan.
** [[spoiler:At one point, David also planned to assassinate Trent due to him starting to lose his grasp on any sort of morality.]]
* AntiVillain: All of the bad and immoral things he does, up to and including murder, blackmail, kidnapping, dealing drugs, and interrogation/torture, not to mention keeping Rachel in a cage for days while she was transformed into a mink, are to keep his species alive.
* TheAtoner: Later in the series, he begins to do better. This is in large part due to Rachel's influence and [[spoiler:becoming a father.]]
* BattleCouple: He eventually becomes this with [[spoiler: Rachel]] although is somewhat less adept than she is.
* {{Determinator}}: Everything he does is to save his species, and he will stop at almost nothing to do so.
* [[spoiler:EarnYourHappyEnding]]: At the end of the series, he and [[spoiler:Rachel]] have been together for decades and are still deeply in love.

* HeelFaceTurn: His morality, actions, beliefs, and even business practices evolve over the course of the series. By the end, he's gone completely legitimate.

The short story ''Sudden Backtrack'' very strongly implies that [[spoiler:one of his direct ancestors was responsible for the curse that rendered the demons infertile and bound them in the Ever After, as the elven antagonist in that story is named 'Kalla.']]
* InterspeciesRomance: He eventually falls hopelessly in love with [[spoiler: Rachel]] and they wind up getting together.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Algaliarept]]

A five thousand-year-old demon who plays a prominent role in the series.

* AffectionateNickname: Sort of affectionate, anyways. Ceri and [[spoiler: Trisk]] both call him 'Gally,' while Rachel calls him 'Al.' Part of the reason for this is that a demon's full name grants power over them and allows them to be summoned, so it is only used in very specific circumstances.
* FantasticRacism: He loathes elves. Understandable, as he was once [[spoiler: enslaved by them.]]
* LawOfInverseFertility: [[spoiler:He spent centuries trying to find a way to give Ceri children and did not succeed.]]
** He and [[spoiler:Trent]] work together and find a way for [[spoiler:elves and demons to have viable children so that Trent and Rachel can have children, and also as a wedding gift for Ray and her demon husband]].

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He's somewhere around 5,000 years old.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: He has creepy red eyes, with [[HellishPupils vertical pupils]] like a goat.
* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He keeps familiars as slaves for thousands of years, including Ceri. He was, however, [[spoiler:a slave himself]] thousands of years in the past.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: With the help of magic, he can shapeshift into any form he chooses, a skill he uses to great effect. At various points he makes himself look like Rachel, Nick, and a giant dog, among others. He prefers to appear as a British aristocrat in a frock coat and top hat, however.

[[folder:Ceri]]
!!!'''Ceridwen Merriam Dulciate'''

A thousand-year-old elf who was Algaliarept's familiar until Rachel freed her [[spoiler: although in actuality, Al could not bear to kill her and let her go.]] Eventual lover of [[spoiler:Quen and mother of Ray]].

* GoodIsNotNice: While she is moral and an ally of Rachel's, she is also a short-tempered black-magic user with few compunctions about killing to save herself or her friends.
* HappinessInSlavery: To some extent, she was in love with Algaliarept despite being enslaved by him and serving as his familiar, [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation although this is debatable]]. [[spoiler: Al was unquestionably in love with her, though.]]
* MamaBear: To [[spoiler:Ray and Lucy]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Piscary]]
!!! '''[[spoiler: Ptah Ammon Fineas Horton Madison Parker Piscary]]'''

An Egyptian undead vampire

[[folder: David Hue]]

A Were who works as an insurance adjuster. Alpha of the Black Dandelion Pack and eventual [[spoiler:bearer of the Were focus]].

* AssassinationAttempt: Subverted somewhat. He reveals to Rachel in ''The Undead Pool'' that he planned to assassinate [[spoiler:Trent]] if he hadn't changed his ways, because his morality was becoming too shaky.
* BadassInANiceSuit: He cleans up nicely, and does a lot of his work dressed in an expensive suit.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: In The Hollows canon, werewolves can only make new werewolves by having children. This is changed when [[spoiler:Rachel finds the were focus, which is in actuality an ancient demon curse, pulls it out of the statue it was bound in, and transfers it to David, with the help of Newt. This enables him to make new Weres by biting people.]]

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Dr. Trisk Cambri]]
!!! '''Dr. Felecia Eloytrisk "Trisk" Cambri [[spoiler: Kalamack]]'''

A brilliant geneticist, one of the best in her generation. Developer of the T4 Angel tomato, although The Turn is very much not her fault. Eventual wife of [[spoiler: Kal]] and mother of [[spoiler: Trent]]. She is a main character in ''The Turn: The Hollows Begins With Death'' but dies before the main series starts and is occasionally only mentioned there.

----

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She is tormented and bullied well into adulthood because she is a [[spoiler: dark elf]], which is to say dark-haired and dark-eyed rather than blonde and green-eyed like most of the rest of her species.
* LawOfInverseFertility: She gets pregnant following a one-night stand with someone she didn't realize she was genetically compatible with; she is also a member of a species that has a great deal of trouble conceiving.

While a main character in ''The Turn: The Hollows Begins With Death,'' he dies in the interim and is only mentioned in the main series.

----

* TheBully: He tormented Trisk all through their childhood and through college and graduate school, all because she was a [[spoiler: dark elf]] from a poor, lesser-known family. Some of what he did was downright cruel.
* FairyCompanion: Well, pixy companion. Orchid the pixy serves as his confidant and essentially his only friend.
* LawOfInverseFertility: He gets [[spoiler: Trisk]] pregnant after a one-night stand. [[spoiler: Elves]] have a great deal of trouble conceiving so it was very unexpected.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: He is ultimately responsible for [[spoiler:The Turn, which is to say a plague that wiped out a huge portion of humanity and led to all of the Inderland species coming out of the closet]]. The fact that his motivation was essentially professional jealously doesn't make it a whole lot better.
* [[spoiler: OurElvesAreBetter: He is an elf, and dedicated to saving his species, although he does not always do so in the most ethical of ways.]]

[[folder:Erica Randal]]
