! Jayme

[[folder:Icarii]]
The Icarii are a race of winged humanoids who live in the mountains. They are capable of wielding the [[MagicMusic Star Dance,]] allowing them to cast powerful magic.

* TheBeautifulElite: The Icarii race as a whole is described as otherworldly and beautiful while they live at the top of a mountain in luxury.
* BreakTheHaughty:
** In ''Enchanter'', Axis gives the Strike Force a stern TheReasonYouSuckSpeech when he finds out they're overall used to being untouchable from the air and completely fall apart as a military unit the second they no longer have an aerial advantage. He then teaches them how to properly fight.
** In ''Pilgrim'' after the loss of the Star Dance, [[spoiler:Icarii society as a whole falls apart due to the loss of the Star Dance due to their overreliance on it. They go from being TheBeautifulElite to reduced to starving in their mountain dwellings without light and heat, unable to leave for help lest one of the Demons drive them insane during the trip.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Azhure describes the entire Icarii race as this, stating that while at heart they can be good people, they're also really arrogant and are horrible at friendship.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: The Icarii are essentially a fusion between [[OurElvesAreDifferent elves]] and angels, taking the wings and divine power of angels and mixing it with the intelligence, long life, and arrogance of fantasy elves.
* TerminallyDependentSociety: [[spoiler:In ''Pilgrim'' after the loss of the Star Dance, Icarii society as a whole falls apart due to the loss of the Star Dance due to their overreliance on it. They go from being TheBeautifulElite to reduced to starving in their mountain dwellings without light and heat, unable to leave for help lest one of the Demons drive them insane during the trip.]] If Axis and Azhure hadn't arrived and evacuated them the Icarii would likely have starved to death.
* WingedHumanoid: The Icarii all have wings, given as a blessing by their race's progenitor.

! [=SpikeFeather=] [=TrueSong=]
A member of the Icarii Strike Force.

* DealWithTheDevil: He swore fealty to The Ferryman in exchange for him agreeing to ferry the Icarii children to safety, becoming the Ferryman's apprentice. [[spoiler:The children themselves also became privy to the waters' secrets and became the Lake Guard, the [=StarSon=]'s personal guard.]]
* RedAndWhiteAndEerieAllOver: While he's a nice person, he's notably striking for his white hair and dark red plumage and his deal with the Ferryman sets him apart from the rest of Icarii society.
* SecretKeeper: He becomes one to Orr the Ferryman after making a deal with him to save a group of Icarii children.

! [=WingRidge=] [=CurlClaw=]
One of the children taken to the underground rivers and ferried by The Ferryman to safety during the ''Axis Trilogy''. He became Captain of the Lake Guard, a force sworn to carry out any and all wishes of the [=StarSon=].

* EnigmaticMinion: He swears fealty to the [=StarSon=] but his motivations are shrouded in mystery and he often does things that harm Caelum rather than help him. [[spoiler:This is because Caelum isn't the true [=StarSon=] and his loyalty is really to Drago.]]

[[folder:Avar]]
A race of forest-dwelling people with horns. The Avar are a race of pacifists who engage in BloodMagic and HumanSacrifice and who generally maintain the forests of Tencendor.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: The Avar as a whole have a strange morality system. They claim to be total pacifists and reject anyone who has murdered another, [[AllCrimesAreEqual even in self-defense,]] but engage in horrific and nauseating blood rituals that make the other races highly uneasy.
* HumanSacrifice: The Avar partake in sacrificial rites for the health of the forests, which sometimes includes the sacrifice of their own members.
* OurElvesAreDifferent: The Avar are essentially druidic fantasy elves, most closely resembling Drow.
* PrinciplesZealot: The Avar are called out on being suicidally pacifistic as well as hypocritical due to their obsessive hatred for any form of violence, including violence performed in self-defense, while they rely on brutal and gory animal sacrifice rituals to appease their god, The Mother.
* SuicidalPacifist: At their worst. The Avar have a reputation for never engaging in violence and resorting on letting the Icarii fight their battles for them. This is averted by some of the Avar people as individuals.

! Shae
A young Avar girl being sheltered by Azhure. She has the potential to become a Bane, druid and leader of the Avar.

! Barsabe
A Bane within the Avar.

* GreenEyedMonster: It's implied the real reason she rejected Azhure from living with the Avar is due to jealousy over the latent power Barsabe felt from her.
* JerkAss: She never has anything nice to say about anyone.
* UngratefulBitch: Azhure saved Shae from being killed by her village and was banished for her trouble. Barsabe immediately complains that she has blood on her hands from killing her horrifically abusive father and demands she leave the Avar's grove.

! Isfrael
The Witch-King of the Avar. Isfrael is an Acharite, being [[spoiler:Faraday and Axis' son]], but he has renounced his Acharite heritage and was raised by the Avar since birth.

* CreateYourOwnHero: In manipulating Drago and using his power to crash through to Tencendor, they created their nemesis powerful enough to stop them once and for all.

The Demon of Despair. Sheol leads the charge in breaking through the Star Gate into Trencendor and reviving Qeteb.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She's the only female amongst the demons, though downplayed as Rox possesses a female body over the course of ''Crusader'', but is still referred to with male pronouns.

* HeelFaceBrainwashing: As a result of losing his trial against Guinevere, he [[spoiler:loses permission to control his destiny and is made to become the Butler to the Field of Flowers.]]

* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:He dies ''twice'' in Sinner, once by jumping through the Star Gate and then by the [=TimeKeeper=] Demons draining his body of all life and magic and reducing it to nothing but a withered bony husk. He gets better with the power of the Charonites and Faraday.]]
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The Charonites [[spoiler:repay Drago back for allowing their souls to finally pass on by giving him a way to come back to life after the [=TimeKeeper=] demons consume his life force and Icarii magic to enter Tencendor.]]

* BarredFromTheAfterlife: [[spoiler: Both [=WolfStar=] and [=StarLaughter's=] final fates see them both banned from entering The Garden for their heinous crimes, forcing them together in death in the cold void.]]

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: She had a HeelRealization seeing how awful of a ruler [=WolfStar=] was and was conspiring to kill him to save the Icarii people. Unfortunately for her, [=WolfStar=] figured this out and threw her into the Star Gate before she could realize her plan.

! "Noah"

! Katie

* ManOnFire: [[spoiler:Her method of death. Hagen threw her into their fireplace and held her down, burning her alive.]]

A little girl clutching a book of music. Katie is seemingly Noah's dead daughter brought to life. However, the truth is more complicated than that.

! [=StarLaughter=] [=SunSoar=]
[=WolfStar=]'s wife and formerly Queen of the Icarii. She was killed after being thrown into the Star Gate by [=WolfStar=]. However, in the second half of the Wayfarer Redemption, [=WolfStar=] hears her voice coming from the other side...

* TheCaligula: His short reign over Tencendor was nothing short of disastrous.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: He came off as a ControlFreak with an OmnicientMoralityLicense in the Axis Trilogy. In ''The Wayfarer Redemption'', his true colors are revealed as [[spoiler:only caring about his own personal glory and agenda, everyone else be damned.]]

* DealWithTheDevil: He swore fealty to The Ferryman in exchange for him agreeing to ferry the Icarii children to safety, becoming the Ferryman's apprentice.

! Gorgrael [=SunSoar=]

! Caelum [=SunSoar=]
Axis and Azhure's first son and heir to the House of the Stars. Caelum is both his parents' clear favorite and is poised to rule over all of Tencendor- At least, until rebellion springs. Caelum was kidnapped by Gorgrael as a child, leading him to bitterly despise his younger brother, Drago, who conspired with Gorgrael to have him killed.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: When Caelum interacts with someone he likes, he's mostly polite and reasonable. [[spoiler:But put him in the same room as Drago or Zared at the end of ''Sinner'' and he'll turn into a massive prick without hesitation. He even killed [=RiverStar=], his sister, because she claimed to be pregnant and was going to blackmail him, then implanted FalseMemories into Drago to frame him for the murder.]]
* CainAndAbel: The kind Abel to [=DragonStar=]'s Cain. Later reversed as Caelum grew up into a SpoiledBrat and Drago became humbled into a sour, but ultimately soft-hearted man.
* TheCaligula: His short reign over Tencendor was nothing short of disastrous.
* TheChosenOne: Subverted. [[spoiler:[=WolfStar=] was sure that Caelum was the chosen [=StarSon=], but he was nothing but a decoy for his younger brother [=DragonStar=].]]
* ParentalFavoritism: Deconstructed. Caelum was adored by his parents, but this only resulted in him becoming a SpoiledBrat JerkAss who was entirely unprepared to take on the responsibility of ruling over all of Tencendor. Meanwhile, his siblings all suffered in various ways due to Caelum obviously being the favorite over them.
* SpoiledBrat: Caelum got all of his parents' love and attention. It did nothing but turn him into an entitled, spoiled JerkAss.

! [=StarDrifter=] [=SunSoar=]
Axis' father and a powerful Icarii Enchanter. [=StarDrifer=], true to his name, is somewhat of a drifter and playboy, uninterested in ruling. He fell in love with the princess Rivkah at first sight, causing the events of the first series to unfold.
----

! [=DragonStar=] "Drago" [=SunSoar=]
Axis and Azhure's second son, [=DragonStar=] was aware of his massive Enchanter power since conception and resented his status as second son, attempting to have Caelum kidnapped and killed to take his place as heir to the House of Stars. When this plot was uncovered Azhure reversed his blood order, dooming him to a mortal's life and destroying any sentience he had at that point.

He returns as the protagonist of the ''Wayfarer Redemption's'' second half, as he is [[spoiler:the prophesized [=StarSon=] that must defeat the [=TimeKeeper=] Demons.]]
