From left to right: Delirium, Death, Destruction, Dream, Destiny, Desire and Despair
The Endless are a rather dysfunctional family of seven siblings who are each Anthropomorphic Personifications of one of seven concepts. They are neither god, demon, angel, or faerie; and yet, they are somehow all those things as well... but also a unique breed unto themselves. With such broad power, it would be easy to call them gods but as the text is quick to point out The Endless cannot be seen as gods, for gods need to be believed in to exist and require faith to nurture them. The Endless will continue to exist whether we believe in them or not, for, as their name suggests, they are Endless.
There are always seven Endless. No more, no less. The Endless were likely always immortal and were never human despite their typically human appearance (albeit exceedingly pale), but it is known that should one perish, another Endless shall rise to fulfill their purpose (as was the case with Despair) or if their purpose should cease, the Endless will shift to fulfill a new purpose (as was the case with Delight/Delirium). Despite not being human, the Endless can mate with humans and bear offspring. In fact, it might be possible for the Endless to mate with any lifeform and bear offspring. Sometimes these offspring are special, like a demigod or a figure with mythical abilities, or simply immortal, but just as often they are mundane and rather unimpressive.
How did the Endless come into being? No one knows for certain, not even the Endless themselves. Ancient texts hint that there were only two (or possibly three) beings that predate the Endless. But who these beings were is anyone's guess. I have my theories, but those are simply that.
As mentioned above, the Endless are ideas, anthropomorphic personifications of concepts, but even so, they are all individual beings and have feelings, thoughts, and personalities all their own. All this combines with their powers and purview to make the seven Endless a rather dysfunctional family of seven siblings. Though they may appear in different forms, their usual form is that of a stark white humanoid. They can reflexively change their appearance to fit the expectations of others.

In General
- Above the Gods: They aren't gods, but gods are still mortal and limited. The Endless are endless except for some extreme circumstances, and the only beings to definitively surpass them are their parents and the Presence Himself.
- Anthropomorphic Personification: Of the concept represented by their names.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: All of them, even kind personable Death, have this to one degree or another, largely based on perceptions of that which they personify varying drastically from that of mortals.
- Cosmic Entity: Their individual power is so great that they are considered to be beyond even Physical Gods.
- Domain Holder: They're powerful enough normally, but on their home turf they make the rules, full stop. This is emphasized with Dream, whose many responsibilities include Sacred Hospitality.
- Duality Motif: They might represent a concept, but they also represent its opposite. Death also represents birth, Destiny also represents Choice, Delirium represents both Sanity and Insanity, Destruction also represents Creation and so on.
- A Form You Are Comfortable With: They can change their perceived forms to fit the expectations of others.
- Gender-Equal Ensemble: As much as gender means to them, there are three males (Destiny, Dream, Destruction), three females (Death, Despair, Delirium) and one non-binary (Desire).
- Magical Barefooter: All of them appear barefoot and are eons old beings with great powers.
- Reality Warper: All of them are powerful enough to do this; some do so more frequently than others.
- Theme Initials: D, obviously. They also have many different names in different mythologies that don't fit this pattern, but only Dream is ever seen using any of them.
Dream
Dream (or "Morpheus," or about a thousand other titles in ancient texts) is the mythical Sandman, the bringer of sleep, dreams, and nightmares. Dream's usual appearance is as a tall, pale man with wild dark hair. His eyes are pools of shadows with glimmers of light within. More so than his other siblings (aside from Destiny), he is very concerned with fulfilling his duties, overseeing both conscious thought and the subconscious mind as well. Now, at the behest of Lucifer Morningstar, Morpheus rules Hell with Daniel Hall as his replacement among the Endless.
- Aloof Big Brother: To Delirium, Desire and Despair. Especially to Delirium, who mentions that she is always a bit scared of him.
- Anti-Hero: Immensely powerful and a force necessary for life, yet a very flawed being by human standards.
- Beware the Nice Ones: He is unfailingly polite, and increasingly after his imprisonment, he can even be kind. However, as Azazel finds out the hard way, this should never, ever, be mistaken for weakness.
- Brutal Honesty: While always formal and polite, Dream never minces words when giving his opinion on something. This is a big reason why he has few actual friends.
- Byronic Hero: Destruction describes both him and Orpheus as self-pitying romantic fools who nonetheless have "a certain amount of personal charm".
- Creepy Good: For a certain value of "good". Dream is a pretty ominous, dour fellow, but he has a strong sense of justice and he punishes many evil people throughout history. However, he operates on Blue-and-Orange Morality and is responsible for some pretty heinous things himself.
- Dream Weaver: His main domain and one of his titles.
- Extreme Omnisexual: Omnisexual and has had his fair share of lovers throughout history.
- Friend to All Children: Dream often has pleasant and respectful conversations with young kids. Considering that he is the personification of imagination and ideas, this is unsurprising.
- I Have Many Names: Even by the Endless's standards he has a lot of names: Morpheus, Sandman, Oneiros, Shaper of Form and Dreams, Kai'ckul, Dream-Sneak, Dream Cat, Lord L'Zoril, Prince of Stories, Monarch of the Sleeping Marches, His Darkness, Dreamweaver, Nightmare King, Sultan of Sleep, Murphy, Brother, & still more.
- Looks Like Cesare: Tall, pale, messy hair and his eyes are completely black.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: He's pale as the moon and has stark black hair to match. In this way he looks a lot like his sister, Death.
- The Sandman: One of the most well-known and influential recent depictions.
- Spared by the Adaptation: Instead of dying for killing Rose Walker and breaking the Axiom rules, he's merely imprisoned at a Mother Box, with The Monitor replacing him with Daniel Hall.
- The Stoic: Most of the time he doesn't display any emotion.
- You Are in Command Now: Lucifer gave him the rule of Hell since he couldn't just resign and leave the Demon Lords and Devil Princes to their own designs. Eventually Dream found a way to create a stalemate between the factions, allowing him to return to his own realm.
Destiny
The oldest of the Endless, Destiny (or "Potmos," as some arcane texts refer to him) appears as a blind man dressed in hooded robes, carrying a large book. The book is chained to him, or he is chained to the book (depending on how you look at it) and within the book is written the layout of the "Tapestry," or the entire sum of existence, past, present and future. Destiny represents destiny and free will. Destiny seems to be the most possessed by his function and responsibilities, more so than any of the other Endless. He rarely demonstrates much personality or emotion. He really can't join fights or betting events because he always knows the outcome.
- All-Powerful Bystander: He knows everything that happens, but intervenes only when it's ordained that he do so.
- Blindfolded Vision: He doesn't really need his eyes to read his book.
- Blind Seer: Seems unable to see with his eyes, yet can read the Book of Souls without issue.
- Deus ex Machina: Sort of. He dislikes getting involved in people's troubles, but will if it's in his book.
- The Fettered: He's literally fettered to his book, representing the fact that he is incapable of doing anything that isn't in the book.
- The Hermit: Destiny mostly spends his time in his realm, rarely leaving it except for certain events.
- In the Hood: He's always wearing a hooded cloak.
- The Older Immortal: He's the oldest of the Endless, having existed for countless eons.
- The Omniscient: Everything that is, was, and could possibly be, he knows.
- Not So Omniscient After All: While he is meant to be the embodiment of the predestined fate of everyone in the universe, there are certain things that are beyond even his knowledge, one of which being the catalyst of Delight's transformation into Delirium.
- The Shadow Knows: Inverted. He doesn't leave a shadow, or footprints, or anything else.
- The Watcher: He observes everything that happens.
- You Can't Fight Fate: He believes this. Considering who he is, it's kind of a given, but it even applies to him — it should be noted that the text always refers to Destiny being chained to his book, and not the other way round.
Death
Click for Spirit of Christmas Future
Death (or "Teleute" in arcane texts) appears as a spunky, attractive, level-headed young Goth woman. She wears an ankh necklace and usually has an Eye of Horus painted under one of her eyes. She prefers to dress and act casually, much to the surprise of many who encounter what they assume would be an ominous personage. Death is the embodiment of both life and death. She is incredibly kind to everyone.
- All-Loving Hero: She loves everyone, with the kind of deep and abiding compassion that comes only from knowing them very well.
- Big Sister Instinct: Just about the only way to get the incessantly cheerful Death to lose her cool is by messing with her little brother.
- The Collector: She is easy to get along with, especially if you like collecting things from different cultures, like her. Death enjoys taking souvenirs whenever something catches her eye. What exactly she collects tends to go through phases. She used to collect farming tools and cloaks, but now she tends to wear goth-rocker fashion and collects parasols, umbrellas, and hats.
- Composite Character: With the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come.
- Dark Is Not Evil: She's a Perky Goth who shuffles those who die off this mortal coil. Anger her at your own peril, but that aside she's actually quite nice.
- Death Is Cheap: She freely admits to this. She confesses that she's very busy, and sometimes people slip through the cracks. She doesn't begrudge them the extra time, because they'll all meet her eventually.
- Don't Fear the Reaper: Really, she is exactly the sort of person you need to see at a stressful moment such as death; comforting, gentle, and easy to get along with while holding a quiet and firm authority.
- The Dreaded: Being Death, everyone is scared of her and what her appearance entails. This is a fact that she is very disappointed by, observing that despite her best attempts to be as comforting as possible, people are not as willing to visit her realm as they are Dream's, who is far more standoffish than her.
- Everyone Is Related: Through her many children, she's related to many ancient pantheons. Her children include Kebechet, Egyptian goddess of purity, Astghik, Armenian goddess of love, Ninazu, Sumerian god of the underworld and healing, Namtar, Mesopotamian god of death, Ghede Nibo, Loa leader of the dead (who is her stepson), Mixcoatl, Mesoamerican god of the hunt, Manungal, goddess of the Underworld in Sumerian, Babylonian, and Akkadian mythology and Rosacarnis, daughter of Nergal.
- Extreme Omnisexual: Similarly to Desire, Death is Omnisexual, which is hardly surprising since death doesn't discriminate.
- A Form You Are Comfortable With: She can appear in the form of someone that person loves.
- God in Human Form: Spends one day a year as a mortal before dying so she doesn't forget what her duty entails.
- God of the Dead: She's in charge of bringing the souls of the dead into the afterlife. While there are other gods of death around the universe, as one of the Endless she has seniority.
- Going Commando: She appears to not be wearing anything underneath her coat as Christmas Yet to Come.
- I Have Many Names: She also shares a lot of names even by the Endless's standards: Teleute, Sister, Ala, Anput, Belet-Seri, Chicomecōātl, Dea Tacita, Eingana, Erecura, Ereshkigal, Gefjon, Hine-nui-te-pō, Ixtab, Izanami, Jabme-Akka, Kalma, Laima, Libitina, Maman Brigitte, Marzanna, Meng Po, Merau, Morta, Nirṛtī, Persipnei, Pinga, Rohe, Santa Muerte, Setesuyara, Spandaramet, Tayt, Tia and Yamuna.
- Implacable Woman: She's not vindictive about it, but trying to bind her or keep her at bay with magic never goes well. She can grant an indefinite suspension from dying, but she won't do it just because you try to bully her.
- In the Hood: As Christmas Yet to Come she wears a black cloaked hood, representing her role as the Grim Reaper.
- The Omnipresent: Can be anywhere there's death, although she doesn't know when someone is about to die.
- Perky Goth: The representation of Death is surprisingly cheerful and friendly to anyone who encounters her.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Much like her siblings, she appears as a beautiful bone-pale woman with black hair.
- Related in the Adaptation: Here she's the mother of Rosacarnis, making her grandmother of the Constantine children.
- Sinister Scythe: While she's not malicious or sinister, she does wield a scythe that represents her power over life and death.
Destruction
Destruction (or "Olethros") is described as a very large, robust man with red hair, who sometimes appears bearded and sometimes shaven. Destruction has purview over creation and ruin. He is said to have an immense passion for creative and constructive endeavors, but little talent (for it is easier to destroy than to create). His symbol is that of a sword. Little else is known about him, nor has anything new been written of him in quite some time. He decided to exile himself in 1983 and Velma Dinkley intends to find him.
- The Atoner: He's eternal, so he still has to watch as everything he enjoys is destroyed... but he no longer feels personally responsible.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: Thanks to his domain, he can see patterns everywhere.
- Big Little Brother: He's taller than his older siblings Death and Dream.
- Black Sheep: He abandoned his charge and left it to its own devices. He's estranged from most of the other Endless.
- Boisterous Bruiser: He was the loudest and most outspoken member of the Endless, as well as the literal personification of destruction.
- Cool Big Bro: To Delirium and Despair, both of whom miss him terribly when he's gone.
- Creative Sterility: Played with. Destruction is capable of creating things, but because creation goes against his inner nature he's just not good at it.
- Destroyer Deity: Has control over destruction but also creation. He had already become dissatisfied with the human military-industrial complex after the World Wars and sensing what was on the horizon with Adrian Veidt's plan going into effect, Destruction was unwilling to be responsible for the destruction this would ultimately cause, and therefore left his family.
- Fiery Redhead: Appears as a redheaded man, and can be quite boastful and fierce, as fitting for his nature.
- Interspecies Romance: Him, the Anthropomorphic Representation of Destruction is in a relationship with an Archangel who has existed since the days of Creation and a few thousands of years older than he is.
- Manly Facial Hair: While sometimes he appears clean-shaven, currently he has a full beard and he's pretty manly.
- My Greatest Failure: The other Endless seem to hold letting him leave to be this, to varying degrees. Destruction himself regrets abandoning his family, but it was a matter of conscience.
- Nice Guy: Apart from Death, Destruction is the friendliest and most personable of all the Endless. Before he left the family, he was the peacemaker of the group, the one who got along with everyone.
- Official Couple: He's the lover of the angel Saraquael, who frequently visits him at his hideout in Corto Maltese.
- Related in the Adaptation: He's the father of Xingtian, better known as the Headless Horseman and the Horseman of War, whom he fathered with the Chinese daimon Xiwangmu in ancient times.
- Small Role, Big Impact: He doesn't play much of a role in the intrigues of Heaven, but he helped Saraquael come up with a plan that would allow The Presence to retire at last.
- Walking the Earth: What he's been doing since leaving his duties.
Desire
Desire (or "Epithumia") is a beautiful, slim, and truly androgynous being with golden eyes, capable of appearing as a man, a woman, or neither. They are said to have a vicious cruel streak, yet is written rather favorably in the texts of the Order of Ancient Mysteries. Desire is the twin of Despair. Desire promotes hatred as much as love. They like messing with people that are somewhat lacking in emotion, like Morpheus and Destiny.
- Ambiguous Gender: Appears as an androgynous figure, and can alternate between appearing as a man or a woman.
- The Beautiful Elite: Desire is the most stunningly beautiful being in the universe, and is wanted by everyone.
- The Casanova: Being the personification of lust, Desire woos many women and, as The Vamp, many men.
- Extreme Omnisexual: And some things that do not. Desire, after all, is hardly bound to something as simplistic as "gender".
- Greater-Scope Villain: While not exactly a villain, by mentoring Lilith and helping her become the very first succubus, they're indirectly responsible for the creation of vampires and therianthropes, plus the birth of the Lilim.
- It Amused Me: Why did they father a child that could make the entire Dreaming come undone? They wanted to see if Dream would reincarnate with a better sense of humor.
- Jerkass: Billions of years ago, Dream and Desire used to be extremely close friends. This lasted until Desire, without shame or any pretense of hiding its involvement, made Dream's then-girlfriend cheat on him, just because it was funny.
- Lust: Be it for love, for power, or for sex, Desire commands them all.
- Manipulative Bastard: Or Manipulative Bitch as the case may be. Depends on the mood and the person it's manipulating — whatever would work better.
- Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous: Because it is the personification of lust, Desire can be a man, a woman, or both, depending on whom and what the viewer finds the most attractive.
- Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Although they can change appearances as they wish, we usually see Desire as an attractive androgynous person with dark hair and pale skin.
- Related in the Adaptation: They are the father of Rose and Drury Walker/Killer Moth, making them grandparent of Kitten, Jack and Melanie Walker.
- Smoking Is Cool: Carries a lighter with their symbol and is the Endless of Desire.
- Supernatural Gold Eyes: Desire's golden eyes are the only thing that remains constant in all their forms.
- We Used to Be Friends: There was a time Desire and Dream were very close, but after an incident involving Dream's lover, they hardly get along now.
Despair
Despair (or "Aponia") is a short, obese woman with irregularly-shaped teeth and amber eyes. She is often depicted as naked in the texts most have found that include a sketch or portrait of her likeness. She is said to have a habit of carving her flesh with a hooked ring that she wears. Despair is the only known Endless to have perished, somehow being killed many, many years ago, only to return in a new body with an only slightly different appearance and personality. Apparently, her original self was much more talkative. Despair controls hope and despair. Also, according to the Network File on Despair, she is an Aquaman fangirl.
- Adaptational Modesty: Thankfully she's wearing a bathrobe and Aquaman swimming trunks here.
- Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: The exaggerated dark circles under her eyes have this effect.
- The Cynic: Being the personification of hopelessness tends to make one a pessimist. Her brother Destruction (one of the few beings in the universe she ever really cared about) excommunicating himself from the family certainly did not help either.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Right, she is the personification of all ennui and hopelessness in the universe, but still displays authentic feelings for her loved ones, misses her older brother and generally behaves in a quite polite and refined way.
- Despair Event Horizon: She is literally the embodiment and personification of this.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: She has the same basic appearance as most of her siblings (dark hair, pale skin), but since she's not conventionally attractive and is often looking at people's suffering, hanging out with rats and tearing her own skin with a hook, she's instantly seen as creepy.
- The Eeyore: To no one's surprise, Despair isn't exactly the cheeriest of anthropomorphic personifications. She's gloomy and pessimistic, and generally the one who predicts that things will go wrong.
- Eye Scream: Masochistic and has a tendency of popping her own eyeballs.
- Fangs Are Evil: While she's not evil, she represents Despair nevertheless.
- Gonk: Short, fat and ugly, gray skinned, with sullen eyes, and goes around naked.
- The Hermit: Unlike her twin, she doesn't leave her realm that much, except for gatherings with her family.
- Magic Mirror: Well, they aren't exactly magic, since they're the other sides of all mirrors in the universe (and presumably not all mirrors in the universe are magical).
- Mark of the Supernatural: Has some strands of white hair on her messy hair.
- The Quiet One: Rarely speaks except in short, concise, and measured statements.
- Self-Harm: As in the comics, she uses a hooked bladed ring to cut into her skin, usually going for her own eyes.
- Swarm of Rats: Her domain is full of rats that are her servants, just like how Dream has ravens.
Delirium
Delirium (or "Mania") is the youngest of the Endless. Delirium appears as a young girl whose form changes the most frequently of any of the Endless, based on the random fluctuations of her temperament. She has wild hair and eccentric, mismatched clothes. Her only permanent physical characteristic is that one of her eyes is green with silver flecks and the other blue, but even those sometimes switch between left and right. She was once known as Delight, but some traumatic event caused her to change into her current role and not even Destany knows what happened to her. Though it's hard to believe, Delirium influences sanity as much as she does madness, and is prone to the rare moment of absolute clarity.
- Animal Motifs: Colorful tropical fish and butterflies.
- Annoying Younger Sibling: While her siblings do care about her, it's not surprising they find her difficult to deal with when working together.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Basically the Anthropomorphic Personification of this.
- The Corruption: While looking for her brothers Dream and Destruction, she took residence in New Jersey near Gotham City during the 1980s, increasing the number of people with mental illnesses, meaning she is indirectly responsible for mad men like The Joker.
- The Cutie: She used to be the personification of everything joyous, warm, fuzzy, and blissful. Even as Delirium, she still retains some of these qualities, and can occasionally be very sweet, similar to how Harley Quinn, who is insane herself, is still kind and will protect small kids and animals with her life.
- Dark and Troubled Past: One that caused her to turn from Delight into Delirium.
- Delinquent Hair: Half her head is shaved, emphasizing her offbeat appearance.
- Drives Like Crazy: "I'm a good driver!"
- Fashionable Asymmetry: She's never symmetrical.
- Flying Seafood Special: She has the habit of taking her fish to walk. They generally float around her, even in situations and places where it's unknown if there is any sense of space or even logic, like her realm. The fish are her main animal, like how Dream has Ravens and how Despair has Rats.
- Immortal Immaturity: She's forever the youngest sibling. And also crazy, which doesn't help.
- Kaleidoscope Hair: True to her fickle nature, the color of her hair strands changes according to her mood.
- Mad God: Delirium is older and more powerful than any living or already dead god, and remains as the personification of sanity and insanity.
- Mad Oracle: Apparently knows secrets even the other Endless don't know. For example, while Destiny knows everything that was, is, could or will be, Delirium knows everything else; everything that wasn't, isn't, couldn't or won't be. It's unwise to ignore what she says — nearly as unwise as listening too closely.
- Mark of the Supernatural: One of her eyes is blue while the other is green, and she represents madness and delirium.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: If she's very, very annoyed, she can control herself and become stern, logical and direct. It's extremely unnerving.
- Quirky Curls: When she has curls. She doesn't always. (But she seems to like curlicues.)
- Riddle for the Ages: Why did she change from Delight to Delirium? Not even Destiny knows.
- Stocking Filler: While she changes outfits constantly, she does have a preference for fishnet stockings.
- Stripperiffic: Other than a jacket, stockings and shorts, Delirium doesn't wear much.
- Talkative Loon: She tends to go off tangent and talk about non-sensical topics, to the annoyance of Dream.
Daniel Hall/Dream II
The new Dream, brought to the main reality to replace Morpheus by The Monitor. He's the son of Hank Hall and Dawn Granger from a different Sub-Reality. He is the newest member of the Endless and no one knows how he will compare to Morpheus.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Redeeming Replacement he may be, but he's still Dream, and he will not hesitate to display his powers if need be.
- Hell-Bent for Leather: Wears a white leather jacket.
- Light Is Good: Has white clothes, white hair, and is the Redeeming Replacement to Morpheus.
- Messy Hair: One thing he shares with his predecessor.
- Mystical White Hair: To contrast with Morpheus' black hair.
- Nice Guy: By contrast to the previous Dream, he's still rather formal, but less self-centered and doesn't hold grudges.
- Official Couple: Currently dating Ivy Walker.
- Past-Life Memories: Daniel states that while he is not Morpheus, he has all of the memories and knowledge that Morpheus possessed.
- Power Crystal: An emerald, contrasting with Morpheus' ruby.
- Redeeming Replacement: He is quickly established as much more forgiving and approachable than Morpheus.
- Related in the Adaptation: He's the son of Hank Hall and Dawn Granger of Sub Reality B.
- That Man Is Dead: While he acknowledges his past as Daniel Hall, he considers himself Dream now.
- Unrelated in the Adaptation: Instead of the son of Hector Hall and Lyta Trevor, he's the son of Hank Hall and Dawn Granger.
The Dreaming
Lucien the Librarian
A tall thin bookish man who serves as Dream's librarian, maintaining all the books that have ever been dreamt of.
- The Ageless: Lucien's current form will continue to thrive so long as sentient life capable of dreaming exists in known reality or until such time as he is utterly destroyed.
- Badass Bookworm: When the Dreaming starts becoming even more chaotic than usual, dangerous things that Dream imprisoned can get out. Lucien, however, is on hand to deal with them. And he does.
- Have We Met?: When Ivy Walker appears on The Dreaming with the Passport that belonged to her previous self, he doesn't recognize her and tries to confiscate it, but luckily Dream is there to smooth things out.
- Magic Librarian: He maintains the Library of Dream, which contains every book anybody ever thought or dreamed about writing, from the masterpieces of great authors who died before committing them to paper, down to the novel you always tell yourself you'll write one day.
- Multiple-Choice Past: According to Velma Dinkley, various stories have said the Librarian is either an archangel who was so obsessed with the accumulation of knowledge, even that which was forbidden in the Silver City; another claims that Lucien was, in fact Adam the First Mortal Man created by the Presence, husband of Lilith and Eve, father to Cain and Abel, the former resident of the Garden of Eden, when his first wife Lilith seduced and cursed his sons Cain and Abel, pitting them against each other as an act of revenge against him, Adam chose to leave his family in search of knowledge; and Another tale claims that Lucien was neither a man nor angel, but a Fae. A fae so much more interested in knowledge, wisdom, and order that he was exiled from his kind.
- Noodle People: He's taller than Dream, who's pretty noodley himself, and at least as thin.
- Pointy Ears: Has elf-like ears.
- Purple Is Powerful: Wears a purple suit and is one of the main keepers of The Dreaming.
- The Reliable One: Was the only dream not to flee Dream's castle as it fell apart. Because of this, Dream came to rely on him heavily and all but made Lucien his Number Two.
Mervyn Pumpkinhead
A comical pumpkin-headed dream who performs odd jobs in the Dreaming, such as bus driver and janitor. Although a simple-minded slob, he helps keep Dream grounded.
- Almighty Janitor: Works as janitor of Dream's Ghost Castle, and is considered the best builder in all the Dreaming.
- Cigar Chomper: Began to chain smoke since he felt at first that his job was redundant by Dream's power.
- Deadpan Snarker: His sarcasms and quips are more frequent, but usually less intelligent, than Matthew's.
- Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: When Dream went missing, he didn't know what to do with himself, he even got a job at the Cosmic Coach and Cab Company. When he found a weakened and malnourished Dream, he immediately took him back to his Castle, and now he's back to mopping floors.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's cranky, sarcastic and sometimes rude, but he's completely loyal to Dream and can be helpful at times.
- Kavorka Man: Despite his pumpkin-head and a body made of sticks and twine, he's had several attractive female lovers among humans and other humanoid species. He tends to be confused when people are surprised to hear about it.
- Pumpkin Person: He is an animated pumpkin-headed scarecrow.
- Really 700 Years Old: Made by Dream during the 15th century, he will remain alive as long as intelligent beings continue to dream and Dream exists.
- Took a Level in Badass: In his quest to find Dream, he gained several skills and made new friends and enemies.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: When he travels outside of the Dreaming, he is able to walk freely among people without anyone being alarmed by his pumpkin head or body made of sticks and twine. In fact, even those who are capable of noticing that due to psychic ability may acknowledge it or be briefly disturbed by his nature, but everyone tends to acclimate to it pretty quickly.
Matthew the Raven
Dream's companion, a raven who was once a man who died in his dreams, and was given the chance to become a servant of Dream. Matthew often questions Dream, pointing out the holes in his plans and keeping his perspective in check.
- Adaptational Backstory Change: Instead of getting killed in a car crash while driving drunk, Matthew instead lost his body when his soul was cast into The Dreaming during a dark ritual.
- Clever Crows: He's a raven with human intelligence.
- Deadpan Snarker: Not as snarky as, say, Merv Pumpkinhead, but he gets in a few quips here and there.
- Honest Advisor: It's implied that Dream keeps a raven around to give him a human perspective.
- Nice Guy: He's a little crude and rough around the edges, sure, but you couldn't ask for a friendlier raven.
- Only Sane Man: He will occasionally take on this role when others are too proud, too distraught, or too wrapped up in themselves to see sense, Matthew being the one who tries to get them back on track. His success rate is about fifty-fifty.
- Polly Wants a Microphone: He's a raven that can converse just as well as any human. Justified, in that he used to be human.
- Was Once a Man: Once a human named Matthew Cable who was given a new body to serve Dream of the Endless.
Cain
The son of Adam and Eve, who's first murderer and the progenitor of Vampires. He is a resident of the Dreaming and the collector and caretaker of House of Mysteries.
- Big Brother Bully: Cain is this to Abel. As might be expected.
- Cain and Abel: The sons of Adam, one murdered the other and the rest, as they say, is history.
- Deadpan Snarker: What Cain does when he isn't killing his brother.
- Evil Redhead: Well, he's a redhead and while not truly evil, he needs to kill and drink the blood of his brother Abel to remain (relatively) sane.
- Horror Hunger: Cursed by Desire of the Endless to crave for human blood, Cain has never been able to get rid of it.
- Monster Progenitor: Although it wasn't entirely his fault, Cain is the progenitor of all vampires.
- Red Baron: The First Murderer.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: His red eyes signify the Mark of Cain, and unlike lesser vampires, he can't turn them off.
- The Storyteller: He's a master at sharing stories, improvisation, theatrics and embellishment.
- Theme Naming: His pet gargoyles always have names that start with 'G'. The one currently on his shoulder is Gregory the Third.
- Time Abyss: He's been around a lot longer than Judaism — probably a lot longer than Earth. The concepts he embodies (the first murderer and the first victim) are very, very old.
Abel
Abel is the son of Adam and Eve, who's first victim of his brother Cain. He is a resident of the Dreaming and the collector and caretaker of the House of Secrets and host the Secret Six in his home, enjoying their company.
- Back from the Dead: Being children of the first human created by The Presence, Abel eventually came back to life after Cain killed him and drank his blood.
- The Beastmaster: Thanks to his deep connection to The Red, animals don't attack him and Therianthropes regard him as the ultimate alpha.
- Blessed with Suck: Abel's immortality. It just allows him to be killed again... and again...
- Cain and Abel: The sons of Adam, one murdered the other and the rest, as they say, is history.
- Fat and Skinny: He's rather portly when compared to his leaner brother.
- Our Gargoyles Rock: Like Cain he has as pet a baby gargoyle named Gertie. Abel wanted to name her Irving, but Cain insisted, and when Abel refused, Cain killed him to change his mind.
- Monster Progenitor: He's the very first Therianthrope, and unlike lesser were-creatures, he has full control over his nature, as such he has no bestial form.
- The Storyteller: Just like his brother, Abel is a master storyteller, which is why they were hired by Dream to be the hosts of different enchanted Houses.
- Time Abyss: He's been around a lot longer than Judaism — probably a lot longer than Earth. The concepts he embodies (the first murderer and the first victim) are very, very old.
Eve
Created by the Presence to live in the Garden of Eden with her husband Adam, Eve was responsible for eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge and causing humanity to be expelled from paradise. She's the first mother, a resident of the Dreaming and a keeper and protector of the House of Nightmares.
- Absurdly Youthful Mother: She looks much younger than her sons Cain and Abel.
- Adam and/or Eve: She is the original Eve.
- Composite Character: Combines the appearance of the Lucifer TV series with the role and personality from The Sandman comics.
- Cuddle Bug: As revealed in her debut, she loves giving hugs to people.
- The Empath: Eve will develop empathic anchors with those she tends to or looks after on regular basis. Those who she has thus "adopted" will become subject to Eve always doing her best to please and better them. She will also instinctively know when they are hurt, happy, sad, angry, hungry, or tired.
- Fatal Flaw: Eve cannot help but seek out others to "adopt" to make into her "children". She will continue to care for these "children" as being around them fills her with a sense of elation and joy. Her current children are her ravens, but she also has a permanent anchor in her actual children: Cain and Abel.
- Friend to All Living Things: Mainly ravens, being their caretaker under the Dream Castle.
- Humble Hero: She's very humble, and is even humble about that.
- Immortality: According to Eve, she was told by the angel Gabriel that she was never meant to be immortal after leaving the Garden of Eden. The source for her immortality, and the immortality she passed on her sons, remains a mystery.
- Instant Expert: Eve seems able to pick up any skill she wishes to learn simply through meditation. There is a limit to the number of skills she can learn and mastering skills with greater skill often requires more investment of her supernal power, but she can 'forget' skills even greater ease than she gains them. This is a side-effect of her having eaten the forbidden fruit.
- Long-Distance Relationship: She resides in The Dreaming while her husband Adam still wanders the Earth, and he would occasionally visit her in his dreams.
- The Mentor: She mentored her step-daughter Dora.
- Navel-Deep Neckline: Her dress is open all the way to her ribcage.
- Nice Girl: She's very nice, friendly and welcoming to others, no matter who they are.
- Omniglot: Eve has the ability to speak, write, and understand each and every language — including those of animals not capable of speech. Similarly, Eve can be understood by all lifeforms, regardless of which language she chooses to speak. This ability's most basic form was given to her as a caretaker of the Garden of Eden, but it was amplified by her consumption of the Forbidden fruit.
- The Storyteller: Eve is considered to be a great storyteller, able to captivate the minds and the imaginations of all who might hear her words. Whether this is a natural skill she has developed on her own, or whether it is influenced by some measure of her supernal physiology remains to be seen — but it is probably fair to say that the Dreaming would be a much different place were it not for her influence. Those dreams where you suddenly realize you're naked? I bet those were based on Eve's own sudden modesty after eating the forbidden fruit and feeling underdressed
Erzulie Fréda
The Loa of Love and Beauty in the Haitian Mythology. She is a resident of the Dreaming and the hostess and caretaker of the House of Whispers as it floats down River of Dreams in the Dreaming and upon the waters of Earth or other dimensions.

- Beware the Nice Ones: While the embodiment of femininity and compassion, she can also be shockingly violent when protecting children from harm and can come across as spoiled, envious and jealous.
- Big Beautiful Woman: She is very big (a whopping 6'8"/203cm tall), but certainly attractive, as fitting for a goddess.
- Dancing Is Serious Business: She also is incredibly graceful on the dance floor and knows the moves to just about any dance ever choreographed.
- Extreme Omnisexual: Unsurprisingly she's omnisexual and enjoys flirting and seducing people without regard to gender.
- Instant Expert: She's a master at everything concerning dance and singing. She magically knows the lyrics to every song ever put to paper or sang aloud and also knows the moves to all dances that were ever choreographed.
- Living Aphrodisiac: With but a touch, Erzulie can also cause a mortal to lose their inhibitions and give in to their most basic desire. Even gods may become more inclined to act on their baser impulses.
- Love Goddess: She's the Loa of Love and Beauty in Haitian mythology.
- Magic Mirror: Has one that allows her to see anywhere or anyone she chooses as long as it's not warded.
- Odd Job Gods: She's been worshipped as the spirit of love, beauty, jewelry, dancing, luxury and flowers.
- Pink Means Feminine: Wears a mostly pink outfit, pink is one of her main colors and she embodies femininity.
- Polyamory: Has three husbands, Damballa, Agwe and Ogoun, and having dozens of mortal spouses and consorts at a time is considered "stable" for her.
- Sex Goddess: She is profoundly skilled and knowledgeable about sex, and she may even grant such carnal talent to others with a divine blessing in the form of a kiss on their forehead.
Elvira
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark is an obscure deity even today little is known about except that she ran about naked except for a pair of sandals and a black cape. She's a resident of the Dreaming and a keeper and caretaker of the Sinister House, complete with her favorite antique sofa with red upholstery.
- Big-Breast Pride: She's very proud of her "Haunted Hills" and has a Navel-Deep Neckline to show them off.
- Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs: Elvira has a biting humor laced with puns about sex and horror (or horrible sex).
- Brutal Honesty: never afraid to tell people exactly what she thinks
- Buxom Beauty Standard: She has an ample bust they're apparently a big part of her sex appeal even In-Universe, as they apparently can attract people's gazes even against their will.
- Dark Is Not Evil: She is by all accounts, one of the more benign deities associated with the Endless, snarking notwithstanding.
- Distracted by the Sexy: Elvira claims that the mere sight of her cleavage can attract others, even if they can't justify it. Supposedly she uses this to distract enemies in combat and make "fast friends". Yeah... it definitely turns some heads, though.
- Double Entendre: Loves talking this way to tease others.
- Drives Like Crazy: Elvira hasn't got the hang of driving her all-black classic convertible and doesn't understand most traffic laws. Good news is that despite being pulled over plenty of times, she's never once got a ticket.
- Fertility Goddess: She was a fertility goddess in the Iberian pantheon from 200 BCE to 19 BCE, going by the name of Ataecina,
- Horror Host: She's better known on earth by being a popular hostess for a horror series on a television network in Los Angeles.
- I Call Him "Mister Happy": She refers to her own breasts as her "Haunted Hills".
- I Have Boobs, You Must Obey!: Some claim Elvira's bosom is said to have the power to coerce people to get whatever she so desires and but that seems to be a little simple for something of 'infinite power'. Elvira often refers to this power as "Fan Service" or her "Haunted Hills".
- I Have Many Names: Mistress of the Dark, Ateacina, Alpanu, Your's Cruelly, Cassandra Peterson, Girl with the Huge... Ratings.
- The Jinx: A mysterious aura of bad luck follows her and those who cross her usually regret it.
- Love Goddess: She was a goddess of sex in the Etruscan pantheon between 1951 BCE to 200 BCE, and went by the name of Alpanu.
- Ms. Fanservice: She's essentially the embodiment of this trope. Her curvy figure and vampy looks have gained quite a following for someone who started out hosting horror movies in Los Angeles.
- Navel-Deep Neckline: The cleavage in her outfit goes down to her navel, proudly displaying her... assets.
- Perky Goth: She might look gothic, but she has a cheery disposition and can't stop making jokes.

- Sleeps in the Nude: She claims she isn't used to waking up with clothes on.
- Straw Character: Elvira is vocally anti-conservative, rolling her eyes in disgust whenever rules or morality are mentioned.
- The Tease: She enjoys riling people up via flirtation and Double Entendres.
- The Team Benefactor: She's the benefactor for the Hex Girls. She grants them power in exchange for being her representatives on Earth and giving her worship generated by their band.
Dora
The Herald of the Dreaming and the daughter of Lilith and Adam.
- Big Eater: Dora has an insatiable hunger and she's never full, although she can maintain a level of satisfaction by regular feedings that keep her "nasty side" from gorging upon whatever (or whoever) it can grab.
- Child of Two Worlds: She's the daughter of the First Man and the Mother of Monsters, which is why she was left in the care of Morpheus at The Dreaming by the angels.
- Curtains Match the Window: Brown hair and eyes of the same color.
- Dream Weaver: Dora knows how to manipulate dreams, create dream sets and props, change the features of an arcana, and a variety of other oneiromantic spells and rituals. She can cast an arcana out of dreams, seal others in a dream, or prevent others from entering a dream she had sealed. She can also scry into the physical reality around a sleeping individual currently in the Dreaming.
- Ear Wings: Instead of normal ears Dora has wings coming from her head. These are not easily hidden. If she is magically transformed by some means, her ears will remain locked in this form and will be equally noticeable.
- Extreme Omnivore: Dora can eat just about anything. Though she prefers to eat food and drink tasty beverages, she can eat rocks and drinks poison with no ill effect, with her body extracting whatever can be used and quickly processing the remainder through her digestive system as it would anything else. She can swallow a bomb and even if it explodes inside her, she would be unharmed. Her mouth, teeth, throat, and the reminder of her anatomy will instantly shift to accommodate the eating, swallowing, digestion, and disposal of anything.
- Flight: Though Dora's ear/wings are too small and weak to use them for flight in reality, she can use them to fly through the Dreaming and other ephemeral realms (such as the Void and Perfection). In reality, she can slow her descent to survive falls from almost any height, briefly levitate, or assist leaps.
- Immortal Immaturity: Dora does not age or suffer the rigors of most disease or illness. Further, she seems to have ceased her development at a premature state compared to other immortals, becoming something of an eternal teenager in both physicality and maturity, retaining the mood swings of your average teenage female.
- Nightmare Face: When excessively hungry, angry, or afraid, Dora will transform into a monstrous form with a large mouth, sinister eyes and amplified strength.
- Non-Human Humanoid Hybrid: She's a Hybrid Primordial Daimon, making her half supernal and half infernal.
- Related in the Adaptation: She's the daughter of Adam and Lilith, making her half-sister of Cain and Abel, adopted sister of Seth and half-sister of countless Lilim like Ruby, Shamash, Bigby Wolf and many others.
- Teleportation: Dora can open portals to cross through realms with no effort. Others can join her in these travels by stepping through the portals with her. To go anywhere specific, she must be familiar with the location. If she has heard of a place, she can travel to its native realm but would have little control over where in that realm she travels until she did some exploring.
The Corinthian
- Blade Enthusiast: Pretty good at using the knives, too.
- Demonic Possession: Takes over Drury Walker's body in order to hunt the Coventry Cove tenants. He later possesses Jack Walker after being forcefully expelled by Thessaly.
- Evil Is Petty: Calling Wanda by her original masculine birth name Alvin was merely pettiness to throw her off.
- Eyeless Face: Technically speaking, since his eye sockets are full of teeth.
- Light Is Not Good: Wears white, has white hair and pearly white teeth, yet he's one dangerous nightmare that eats the eyes of people.
- More Teeth than the Osmond Family: He has three mouths, although each mouth has a normal number of teeth.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Much like Thessaly, his original name is unknown and he's only referred to as The Corinthian.
- Really 700 Years Old: He's at least old enough to have known Crowley as a human, making him centuries old, probably even more.
- Sadist: He clearly enjoys making Rose and Drury suffer in their dreams, making them live their worst nightmares.
- Serial Killer: He's a nightmare that hunts people in their dreams in order to consume their eyes.
- Sinister Shades: Wears them to hide his abnormal eye sockets.
- Sleeves Are for Wimps: His outfit has no sleeves, and as a being of the Dreaming, he's much tougher than a human.
- Too Many Mouths: Has mouths where his eyes should be.
- Was Once a Man: Thessaly reveals that The Corinthian was once a witch and member of the Grand Coven, until she killed him and he became a nightmare.
Nuala
- Adaptation Species Change: Instead of a fairy she's a dark elf.
- All Love Is Unrequited: She has an unrequited crush on Dream of the Endless.
- Composite Character: She's a composte of Nuala from The Sandman comics and the one from Hellboy II: the Golden Army.
- Green Thumb: Nuala has an uncanny instinct for gardening. Any crop of vegetation under her care will flourish with even minimal tending. Further, Nuala has a way of communicating with flora. Plants near her will understand her voice and may react to her emotional state. If she is in distress, plants may come to her aid.
- Kindly Housekeeper: Nuala is the housekeeper of Ghost Castle, the center of the Dreaming and the seat of power for Dream of the Endless. She resides in a comfortable suite in one of the castle's many towers, but can usually be found carrying out all manner of chores. Due to her extensive knowledge and unrestricted access to the Castle, Nuala knows nearly all of the residence's many secrets.
- Magically-Binding Contract: Due to elves being descended from faerie and daimons, they are bound to the archaic laws of the Void. Nuala is no exception.
- Magic Music: Nuala has an incredible singing voice, particularly in the dark. While in dim light or darker, Nuala's voice takes on an enchanting quality. While singing, Nuala's voice can have an effect on others' emotions. A gentle son can lull people into a calm state while a battle cry can excite others to violence.
- Named by the Adaptation: In the comics Nuala didn't have a family name, here it's Bethmoora, the name of her tribe.
- Royal Blood: Nuala's royal blood carries magical properties. She has the blood of many legendary kings and queens. This blood gives Nuala the power to use certain relics, power royal elven rituals, and assert her authority over those who have sworn to serve Tribe Bethmoora.
- Shrinking Violet: Nuala struggles with self-esteem issues. She is shy to a fault, apologizes for others' mistakes, and avoids eye contact. This likely stems from the abuse she received at the hands of her twin brother growing up.
- The Shut-In: Ever since breaking up her relationship with Abe Sapien and Dream disappeared again, she now rarely leaves the Ghost Castle.
- Supernatural Gold Eyes: She has bright golden eys, fitting for an elf from The Dreaming.
- Youthful Freckles: She has glowing white freckles and she's rather youthful for an elf.
The Kindly Ones
In General
- Adaptational Attractiveness: In Greek Mythology the Graeae were described as hideous crones with one eye and one tooth for all three. That's not the case here for all three.
- Composite Character: The Kindly Ones from The Sandman are combined with the Graeae of Greek mythology; Morgan with Deino, Mildred with Pemphredo and Cynthia with Eris and Enyo.
- I Have Many Names: The Kindly Ones, Wyrd Sisters, Weird Sisters, Wayward Sisters, the Norns and the Graeae.
- The Weird Sisters: It's one of their names, with Morrigan as the Mother, Pemphredo as the Crone and Eris as the Maiden.
The Morrigan
- Adaptation Name Change: The Kindly One she's combined with is named Morgan, here she's named Morrigan.
- Ambiguously Related: Other sources believe she is the forgotten daughter of Gaia that refused to be used in her mother's schemes against her Titanic siblings, thus forcing Gaia to abandon her daughter and give birth to another who would help her.
- Badass Cape: She wears an impressive cape of crow feathers.
- Black Magician Girl: The Morrigan is a powerful sorceress, able to manipulate the chaotic and weird magic of the Fair Lands. She is considered to be just as skilled in the dark portions of this magic as the Sheeda Queen Gloriana or Morgaine le Fey (both of whom she has been mistaken for and, likewise, she has been mistaken for each of them at times).
- Familiar: Badb is a female blackbird familiar. Sometimes appearing as a raven, crow, eagle, vulture, or owl; Badb is none of these. Badb is a minor daimoness from the Void who agrees to take on a role of servitude in exchange for being killed by the Morrigan. She can assume many forms, including that of a black cat, black dog or wolf, or even a raven-tressed maiden, but most often is found feathered. It is likely the magic used to shape Badb is similar to that which is used by Dream of the Endless and Odin.
- God of the Dead: The Morrigan can sense death, suspend one's pending death, cause accelerated rot or decay, and control disembodied souls. Unlike most gods and goddesses of this purview, the Morrigan does not oversee an afterlife, nor is she particularly into the habit of collecting souls. The souls of the departed tied to this faith briefly retire to the humble structure known as Tech Duin in the Void, where the god Donn records their deeds and prepares the soul for reincarnation. Despite the lack of an afterlife, the Morrigan benefits from worship gained from the practice of funerary rites.
- I Gave My Word: The Morrigan and her coven sisters are eternally bound by sacred oath to honor any agreements made by any one of them.
- I Have Many Names: Ana, Anann, Anu, Danu, Deino, Macha, Morgan, Nemain, Persis.
- Mysterious Past: The enigmatic goddess Morrigan very likely predates civilization — at least as we understand such a concept today. Some sources claim she was worshiped by the most primitive peoples as a totemic goddess before she later evolved into the beautiful mother goddess associated with war, death, dread, and dark magic.
- Nigh-Invulnerability: The Morrigan has an impressive resolve to live and can continue living despite significant injury. To truly kill her, one would need to destroy her entirely (such as being burned to ashes — but even then... is that enough? There are accounts of her being burned alive and turning up shortly later, but these could be a witch's tricks or trickster's witchcraft concocted as means to add to her legend or scare the [expletive] out of her foes).
- Of Corsets Sexy: She wears a black and red corset that emphasizes her looks.
- Red Baron: Dreaded One, The Gentle Great Mother, Maere, Mara Rigan, Matron, Mór-Ríoghan, The Morrigan, Morrigú, Morrígana, Moro-rīganī-s, Mother, Phantom Queen.
- Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: Her default form is a redheaded woman with emerald eyes and she's a very powerful daimonic goddess.
- Spell My Name with a "The": She's The Morrigan, although she's also referred to just as Morrigan.
- Supernatural Fear Inducer: The Morrigan can flood a mind with anxiety, compelling them to do as she desires. Only those with a will weaker than the Morrigan are affected to the full effects. Despite the outcome, targets will usually bear a residual fear of the Morrigan for some time, making later commands more powerful. Continued usage of this ability can leave targets deeply traumatized.
- The Trickster: The Morrigan is a natural trickster, allowing her to exploit loopholes to violate cosmic laws. As an extension of this ability, the Morrigan also has a natural ability to change her shape, usually becoming a crow or murder of crows for travel or a fetching redhead who can get just about any down-on-his-luck barfly to agree to all sorts of things in exchange for a night they won't forget.
- War God: To the ancient peoples of Ireland, the Morrigan held the honor of being the Goddess of War. The deaths of those who fall in battle are counted among her prayers, as is every drop of blood shed. The Morrigan can not only sense when a battle is taking place, but she can also immediately relocate herself to join the battle as the moment of its first death.
Pemphredo
- Adaptation Name Change: Her name was Mildred in The Sandman comics, but here it's Pemphredo.
- Cleavage Window: Her current outfit comes with an opening for her cleavage.
- Composite Character: Mildred from The Sandman comics is combined with the Graeae Pemphredo and with Feng Po Po, the Chinese goddess of the Wind, also known as "Madame Wind".
- Dragon Ancestry: She's strongly believed to be the daughter of dragons in Ancient China, or of the Chinese gods Fuxi and Nuwa.
- The Four Gods: Though Feng Po Po is nowadays called the "White Tiger of the West", she was not always. The original White Tiger was Baihu, a giant albino saber tooth cat and a founding member of the Four Sacred Beasts. However, Feng Po Po somehow ended up in possession of Baihu's tooth and the creature was absorbed into the Graeae, allowing the witches to acquire the creature's power, with Feng Po Po also taking on its titles and purviews. Some speculate that Feng Po Po's hair was originally black or brown, and she only took on her white hair after joining Baihu's souls to her own.
- I Have Many Names: The Alarm, Feng Pho Pho, Pephredo, Pemphredo, The White Tiger of the West.
- Magically-Binding Contract: Feng Po Po and her coven sisters are eternally bound by sacred oath of honor any agreements made by any of them.
- Mystical White Hair: She has silver hair and she's one of the most powerful inhabitants of The Dreaming.
- Weather Manipulation: Feng Po Po holds sway over various weather phenomena. From the whispering of a gentle breeze to the roar of a blizzard, she can alter weather patterns on a vast scale, impacting entire climates.
- Blow You Away: As a deity of wind, Feng Po Po can manipulate air currents for various effects. She can create gusts strong enough to topple trees or gentle zephyrs that barely rustle the leaves. Her breath can carry messages or curses across great distances. She can ride the air without assistance, granting her the power of flight.
- As Goddess of the Rain, Feng Po Po has the power to summon or dispel rain at will. She can create gentle showers to nourish the earth or torrential downpours to flood entire regions. Her mood often influences the nature of the rainfall.
- Feng Po Po also commands the fury of storms, able to conjure tempests and hurricanes with a mere thought. Her control over storms is not just physical; she can infuse them with magic, making them supernatural in nature.
- Seers: Feng Po Po is a powerful seeress, able to manipulate the chaotic and weird magic of the Fair Lands. She is considered to be just as skilled in the dark portions of this magic as the Sheeda Queen Gloriana or Morgaine le Fey.
- Soul Power: If theories are correct, Feng Po Po is the daughter of dragons. If this is the case, she would perpetually grow new souls, steadily increasing her power as she grew older by an exponential degree.
- Summon Magic: Hanging from her neck (or occasionally found in the possession of one of the other Graeae), Feng Po Po carries a fierce tooth of the legendary Baihu - the White Tiger of the West. When Feng Po Po (or another of the Graeae) uses this tooth to cut open their flesh, the massive saber tooth cat will spring forth from the wound and rapidly grow to his incredible size, ready to fight for the Graeae. Feng Po Po often employs Baihu as a mount, using him to carry her into battle or across the sky. When the cat's services are no longer needed, Feng Po Po simply needs to plunge the tooth into the creature's flesh, causing the manifestation to instantly disappear.
Eris
- Adaptation Name Change: Goes from Cynthia to Enyo or Eris.
- Apple of Discord: She's even holding the Golden Apple that brought discord to the gods.
- Composite Character: The Gray Sister Enyo is combined with the goddess Eris, who was unrelated to as far as myths go.
- Royal Rapier: She wields a rapier as part of her ensemble.
Other Supernatural Beings
Pralaya
Also known as Nyx, Goddess of the Night, she's one of the seven Progenitors of the Universe and mother of the Endless.
- Adaptation Origin Connection: Anyone who taps into the power of Darkness is considered her avatar. Ian Karkull, Nightshade, Shadow Thief, Obsidian, Umbra, Shade, Nekron and Vamina are all considered her avatars. She seems to hold the Darkness and its hosts with greater favor.
- Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Her entire body is dark and she can be pretty cold and aloof towards her children.
- Brother–Sister Incest: Her favorite mate is Alpheus the World Forger, who happens to be her spirit brother.
- Composite Character: Nyx, Greek Goddess of the Night is combined with Pralaya the personification of the void. She's also combined with Amara, the Darkness from Supernatural, The Great Darkness from Swamp Thing's storyline "American Gothic" and Mother Night from The Sandman Overture miniseries.
- Dark Is Not Evil: She's more of a neutral entity, and many of her avatars, like Nightshade, Obsidian and Umbra, use their powers for good.
- Greater-Scope Villain: While more of a neutral entity, she's the one who gave Lladiz the Heart of Darkness, making her indirectly responsible for the creation of Eclipso.
- Humanoid Abomination: Just like her children. She might be able to take on a humanoid form, but she's something infinite times more ancient.
- I Have Many Names: Amara, The Darkness, Mother Night, Nothingness, Nyx, Yin.
- Icy Blue Eyes: Monochromatic blue eyes as cold as the void.
- Not So Above It All: Despite her generally mysterious and aloof demeanor, she has no problem bluntly calling Jackie Estacado a pussy for refusing to fully use the powers of the Darkness.
- Posthuman Nudism: As a primordial being, she doesn't bother with making clothes, with her privates only being covered by strategically placed tendrils made of her own darkness.
- Red Baron: The Dark Monitor, The Dark Mother, The God Shadow, The Great Darkness, The Great Shadow, Original Darkness, The Primal Darkness, The Ultimate Darkness.
- Related in the Adaptation: Being the mother of the Endless makes her the grandmother of Rose and Drury Walker, Rosacarnis and the Headless Horseman.
- The Sacred Darkness: Like her brother Erebus, Pralaya represents the darkness that existed before creation itself, and will most likely continue to exist after it ends.
- Tendrils of Darkness: She can seemingly produce tendrils made out of the same dark substance that makes her body.
- Time Abyss: She has existed since before time itself.
Alpheus
The World Forger, one of the seven Progenitors of the Universe and the father of the Endless.
- Brother–Sister Incest: He's the favorite mate of Pralaya and they're spirit siblings.
- Composite Character: Father Time is combined with the World Forger.
- The Ghost: Mentioned but not introduced yet.
- Related in the Adaptation: As father of The Endless, he's the grandfather of Rose and Drury Walker, Rosacarnis and the Headless Horseman plus several other deities.
Perpetua
- Devilish Hair Horns: Her hair takes a horned shape before turning into spirals and she sure is not benevolent.
- Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: Her skin is pale white, her hair is black and she oozes Obviously Evil.
- Forehead of Doom: Her forehead is far more prominent than on a human, and she brings doom whenever she goes.
- High Collar of Doom: Another indicator she's evil is her prominent high-collar on her red dress.
- Navel-Deep Neckline: She wears a dress that plunges all the way to her navel.
- Obviously Evil: Her appearance makes it obvious she's not a benevolent Progenitor.
- Power Floats: Not only her hair is flowing upwards, she also has a necklace and bracelets of glowing spheres.
- Red and Black and Evil All Over: Her hair is black, her eyes and dress are red and she's easily the most malicious of the Progenitors.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Her eyes, all three of them, are red and she's a being you don't want to mess with.
- Third Eye: She has a glowing third eye on her forehead that also glows red.
