8
9!! Charles Xavier
10The [[UnreliableNarrator POV]] Character kidnapped from his country and brought to manor where he is forced on a side of a war he doesn't want anything to do with.
11
12* AnimalMotifs: Telepaths express their powers using psychic projections of birds, and Charles favorite becomes a Raven after he's taken from his sister, to the point where most people who know him know that particular thought-bird.
13* AudienceSurrogate: Learns with the audience about the situation between the Free West and the EBS.
14* TheCasanova: Charles was known as the "Oxford Casanova" who [[ReallyGetsAround really got around]].
15* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Tries to do a toned-down version by pretending to be weaker than he really is in order to avoid drawing attention to himself. After he realizes that [[spoiler: Frost knew how strong he was all along and belittled him in order to mock him]] he pretends to be an example of DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength, [[spoiler: going into Frosts mind from much greater distances than she believes him capable of and tricks her into thinking that he wandered in by accident while asleep]].
16* CulturalPosturing: When describing his disdain for the modestly laws Erik grew up with; Erik calls him out on it.
17* [[spoiler: DamselOutOfDistress]]: [[spoiler: Escapes (for now) in chapter 45]]
18* DefiantCaptive: No matter what happens to him, no matter how dangerous, he never gives up on trying to escape.
19* DirtyCoward: Justified with what Charles has put up with, but considering how he hates being called one, this fits.
20* FirstNameBasis: Charles sometimes introduces himself or insists on being called by his first name to appear friendly (e.g., Ororo), while insisting on something more formal if he doesn't like the other person (e.g., Alex).
21* GildedCage: Charles once he's given access to the library and not treated like a child. However, still very much a cage as he is still locked in rooms and not allowed to leave the manor unless on a mission.
22* ManipulativeBastard: Charles. From erasing memories to slightly adjusting how he is perceived (though he feels bad every time he does this to a friend and tries to avoid these tactics unless absolutely necessary). Probably the best liar in the story, carefully cultivating different images of himself in different people. Everyone can be deceived indeed.
23* MindRape: Charles was [[spoiler: literally going to rape Erik in his mind]], but fortunately, he realized [[WhatYouAreInTheDark what he was doing]] and [[NearRapeExperience stopped]].
24* ParentalSubstitute: To several of the children, most notably Jean, as well as Raven prior to the story's start.
25* ProfessionalSexEd: Charles' first sexual experiences were with prostitutes he hired as a young teen.
26* PsychicPowers: Include [[LivingLieDetector detecting when someone is lying to him]], [[MindManipulation erasing and planting memories]], [[MindProbe speaking to and reading people's minds]], [[JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind entering people's minds]], [[PsychicRadar detecting others]], [[SeeingThroughAnothersEyes switching perspectives]], and [[MasterOfIllusion hiding his presence]]
27* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Charles attempts this on multiple occasions
28* UnreliableNarrator: Charles from how he views others to how he justifies his actions. Sometimes he acknowledges this when [[IHatePastMe reflecting on his behavior and assumptions in the past]].
29--> '''[[spoiler: Erik]] (to Charles):''' "Do you only value those aspects of civilization that are fashionable, or those with which you happen to agree?"]
30
31
32!! Raven / "Mallory Darkholme" / "Mystique"
33Charles's sister that he rescued and then protected from being captured by the EBS. This version is significantly younger than Charles.

36* [[ParentsInDistress Parental Figure In Distress]]: [[spoiler: She starts a revolution after Charles is kidnapped.]]
37* PresentAbsence: Despite how often Charles thinks of her, [[spoiler: by the end of Part 3, Raven has yet to re-appear in the story since the beginning.]]
38* TheResistance: [[spoiler: Leading the resistance against the EBS under the pseudonym "Mystique"]]
39

42[[folder: The Eastern Brethren and Sistren (EBS)]]
43
44!! Armando Muñoz
45A new recruit to the EBS as a supervisor for the children after he was rescued from the Free West.
46
47* AdaptiveAbility: As in cannon. To date, he can not only adjust to his surroundings, but tether Kurt, resist telepathy, and heat metal with his hands.
48* DefrostingTheIceQueen: Armando over time opens up and becomes more friendly to Charles
49* LiteralistSnarking: Armando does this on his introduction scene
50-->'''Logan:''' We don't waste things here.
51-->'''Armando:''' Except my time, Wolverine. Except my time...
52* PowerNullifier: To Kurt to prevent him from teleporting away. He can also lessen the power of psychic attacks.
53* ProperlyParanoid: He's one of the few characters who understands just how much Charles lies to everyone, and figures out right away that there are dangers in the Manor that he'll have to figure out in order to survive.
54
55!! Azazel Neyafim
56Emma's oldest companion; he lives to serve her.
57
58
59* EvilAllAlong: Azazel can at times appear friendly and helpful; but [[spoiler: he works for Frost, he may have raped others before, and he agreed to kill a sex worker shortly after just meeting her]].
60* LegacyOfService: His family to Emma Frosts.
61* MyMasterRightOrWrong: He's loyal to Emma's family, and criticizes many of her decisions but still obeys her without question. Not that he's very moral himself.
62* ParentsAsPeople: He tries to protect Kurt and give him gifts, but other times Charles's notices how he doesn't visit Kurt while in the Manor
63* PayEvilUntoEvil: His justification when Charles is opposed to the idea of [[spoiler: Azazel raping Moria after he hires her services as a prostitute, as she's a human from the Free West.]]

65
66!! Emma Morozova / "Lady Frost" / "The White Queen"
67Leader of the EBS, Lady Frost works hard to train effective [[ChildSoldier soldiers]], manipulate world leaders, and defeat the Free West, a corrupt nation.

70* BlueBlood: Turns out she was born to a powerful Russian family, in addition to being a powerful mutant.

76* ErmineCapeEffect: '''Always''' wearing nice clothes.
77* EvilIsPetty
78* FounderOfTheKingdom
79* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: To those outside her favor or don't want to work for her. Averted slightly in that the people living in the nearest cities respect her, and besides some mention of anti-human prejudice there's little indication that any citizens who aren't working for the Free West hate her or want to end her reign.
80* TheHighQueen: What she strives to be.
81* IceQueen: She's unfriendly and cold towards Charles and the children.
82* MeanBoss: Frost in spades. If your charges temporarily escape, you'll be tortured in [[ForcedToWatch front of them]].
83* {{Socialite}}: For fun, she pretends to be merely a socialite when she's invited to the Free West for peace talks, waiting to see how long it takes the people around her to figure out who she really is.
84* StayInTheKitchen: Not so subtly expressed to Frost by the Free West, by having Stryker's wife give her a cook book. (Although it's possible that might be because of [[InnocentBigot Innocent Bigotry]] on the wife's part.)
85* SwordAndSorcerer: Thanks to the Finder, she plays the sorcerer to her entire army.
86* WickedCultured: Speaks several languages fluently, goes to ballet, and has great taste.
87* WinterRoyalLady: Styles herself as one, even molding her mental world, psychic presence and mind-birds to seem ice-like and cold.

91
92* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: [[spoiler: Frost changed Erik [[DemotedToDragon so that she could control him]]. Otherwise he would have acted as Shaw instructed him.]] Or at least that's what she claims...
93* BerserkButton: If you enter his library without permission, and [[spoiler: Shaw's cologne]].
94* ConnectedAllAlong: Erik is [[spoiler: baby Jean's dearly devoted father]].
95* TheDragon: Erik to the Free West
96* ImmuneToMindControl: For the most part, Erik is able to repel Charles's mental attacks; however, [[spoiler: this is largely a result of Frost's brainwashing]]
97* MagnetismManipulation: Goes with his powers.
98* NoNameGiven: Erik at the beginning, but the audience [[SlashFic should be able to guess it]] even if Charles is unwilling.

125
126!! Jean "Grey" / [[spoiler: Jean Lehnsherr]]
127A kind little girl who [[ElectiveMute communicates only]] through her powerful psychic abilities, Jean was brought into the EBS ranks by Lady Frost herself and has since [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror come to know her share of war]].

132** Ororo, Jean's found-family older sister, calls her "Jean Bean."
133* AndCallHimGeorge: Though overjoyed at [[CuteKitten Princess Alexandra's]] existence, Jean's harsh life has not equipped her for taking care of a creature just as small and vulnerable as herself, and so she sometimes ends up loving on the kitten a little ''too'' much out of both worry and desperate affection.

147

149* PoirotSpeak: Poor Kurt often falls into his Russian mother tongue, to his detriment.
150* StillSucksThumb: In lieu of said thumb-sucking, little Kurt often noms instead on his own tail.
151* ThirdWheel: Even though they are all children, Kurt is this to Jean and Scott
152

190* ImmuneToMindControl: Due to training and being an intelligence officer
191* QuicklyDemotedWoman: Justified in-story by [[NoWomansLand her living in the Free West]]: after it's revealed she's a woman, she is striped of her rank, and then found again working in a brothel.

207
208* TheStarscream: He always wanted to overthrow Moria's position; gets the opportunity once she's revealed to be a woman
