Characters introduced in Season 1

The Documentarian

Voiced by: Hem Cleveland

The anonymous narrator of the series.

An Arm and a Leg: Season 4's B-story reveals that the Documentarian lost the use of her left arm in a car accident. Luckily, she's right-handed. At the end of the series, it's revealed that she started to regain use of her arm.
My Greatest Failure: Above all else, she is the most guilty about sending Maheer, a long-time associate of hers, to die because she didn't understand the ramifications of what she had done.
Mysterious Benefactor: She's sunk a lot of time and money into investigating the disappearances, but for much of the show we know very little about her, and her motives for doing so are a mystery. Though as of Season 4, she's finding herself one-upped by her mother, who goes by "Mor" (Swedish for "mother") instead of her own name.
No Name Given: Throughout the series, she's never referred to by name, even by other characters until the series finale, where it's revealed her name is Linnea.
The Stoic: Appears utterly unflappable in the face of the horrible events she documents, and her own field recordings give the impression she really is like that all the time.
- Downplayed in Seasons 4 and 5 where she betrays a lot more emotion, particularly with her mother, and even breaks down crying when she chooses to sacrifice Casner to the Svalbard Site.
Superpowerful Genetics: As a member of one of the Families, she carries the mDNA trait that gives her immunity to the sites' effects.

Dr. Karina Schumacher-Weiß

Voiced by: Kessi Riliniki

A German geologist, on the Fristed team in hopes of securing a permanent job with Sidja Group.

Break the Cutie: At the start she's the most upbeat and personable of the group, excited to be on the expedition. However, after her encounter with the monster, she becomes an anxious wreck, becoming increasingly withdrawn and scared until she's taken.
Cassandra Truth: She's the first to see the monster and realize the team is in danger, but the others chalk her paranoia up to the concussion. Later on, she's the first to be taken.
Claimed by the Supernatural: She's the first one to encounter the monster in the underground village, and afterwards it seems to hold a psychic sway over her and she's eventually the first one to be taken.
Kill the Cutie: She's the least jaded and most upbeat of the team and the first one to be taken by the monster, dragged away at the end of season one with the team quickly realizing she was killed by the thing.

Walter Heath

Voiced by: David Ault

An English IT specialist tasked with repairing the communication fault at Outpost Fristed. Recently divorced.

Amicable Exes: Zigzagged with his ex-wife, Molly, while he doesn't seem to bear her any special ill-will he does giddily state that she won't get a cent out of his discovery of the subterranean village.
Communications Officer: Given his expertise he's the most often left in charge of the radio, and is the first one to decipher the monster's transmissions.
Cluster F-Bomb: Half the hard swearing in the series comes from him.
Defiant to the End: Despite his cowardly nature, the recording of his death shows he took some swings at the monster with his ice axe, and his last words are, "Kill me then you cunt! Do it!"
Jerkass Has a Point: He's an abrasive jerk, especially under stress, but his intuition is rarely wrong and he has legitimate criticisms of the situation. Most notably, his recommended course of action when Karina is taken—to leave her for dead and get out of Dodge—ultimately proves to be the wisest course of action whenever the monsters take people.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: He's perfectly friendly towards the other members of the repair team and tries to always pull his weight—he can just be blunt and cowardly when he's freaking out. And given the circumstances, he spends most of the series freaking out.

Dr. Rosa de la Torre

Voiced by: Lani Minella

A Mexican medical doctor, on hand in case of injury or medical emergency.

The Medic: As the only trained physician on the team she's left to treat any injury they encounter, despite the lack of resources.
Never Found the Body: Her fate as of Season 2, thanks to the Svalbard monster abducting her.
- Subverted as of Seasons 3 and 4, where her desiccated body has been discovered in Patagonia, of all places.
Nice Gal: She's a warm and friendly woman.
Posthumous Character: Despite dying in Season 2, her effect on Graham is still felt... as well as her voice and form being used by the monsters.
Token Religious Teammate: She's the only person who is particularly vocal about her religious beliefs, and prays for safety and help a few times. It's downplayed though, as the implication is that she's a lapsed Catholic, and it's more the desperate situation that's prompted her to turn to religion.

Graham Casner

Voiced by: Peter Lewis

A Russian-Canadian hunter and travel escort, tasked with ensuring the team's safe journey and return.

The Big Guy: He's the most physical of the group and is most often put in charge of the team's survival shotgun.
Heroic Sacrifice: He sacrifices himself to Svalbard's Vault to save Dragana in Season 5.
The Leader: Becomes the de-facto leader of the group when they choose to evacuate the bunker, his survival expertise making him the most logical choice.
Not So Stoic: As the situation deteriorates he increasingly betrays his own growing fear and desperation as he tries to keep the team alive.
- In Season 3, he's so done with the monster and the related horrors he witness that he interrupts the Documentarian's usual outroduction in one episode.
Platonic Life-Partners: He and Dragana have worked together and been friends for years, to the point that she's his daughter's godmother.
Precision F-Strike: While not particularly averse to swearing, when he does it's usually to make a point.
Graham: "Polar bears don't have fucking thumbs, Walter."
Sanity Slippage: The voices and visions of statues start of increasingly wear away at him during Seasons 4 and 5.
Sole Survivor: He's the lone survivor of the Fristed Expedition, as revealed by Season 3.
The Stoic: He's an immensely calm individual and treats almost everything with a sense of detached professionalism. He is capable of warmth though, and when meeting with old clients who remember them fondly, comments that "they paid enough for a polite experience."
You Can't Fight Fate: He knows that if he goes back to Svalbard, he won't be making it back. He was right.

Jónas Þórirsson

Voiced by: Eyþór Viðarsson

An Icelandic businessman and representative of the Sidja Group. Father of two. His wife is Hulda Rúnasdóttir, CEO of Sidja Group.

Back for the Finale: Jónas makes a surprise appearance in video camera footage near the end of Season 5, having last been heard in Season 2. Then a Forrmynður that states it was previously Jónas appears before Dr. Amelia Murray in the penultimate episode to guide her.
Family Man: A lot of his personal logs are directed toward his daughters, with him clearly being a devoted father to them. Even after being turned into a Forrmynður, he keeps the necklace that his daughters made for him.
Horror Hunger: As his mutation progresses, he complains constantly of being hungry, to the point where he still isn't full after eating several oversized lampreys by himself.
The Mole: It's eventually revealed that he knew at least some of what the team would find, and that the others would die. Unlike Lucas Criado however he feels guilty about it, and doesn't noticeably help the monsters hunt their prey.
Must Have Caffeine: The man loves his coffee and is often heard making some for himself and the team, to the point they blow through their supply of coffee in just two weeks.
Reasonable Authority Figure: As the company man on the team, Jónas is generally amiable to the others and is ready to offer his assistance to Heath and Casner with their work.
Team Chef: He serves as a de facto mess officer, scrounging together decent meals from the bunker's supplies, and salvaging what little's left for a final meal after the monster destroys their food.
Zombie Infectee: Slices his hand on a black stone statue in the underground village and slowly begins mutating into something like the monster, but keeps it from the rest of the crew until he's the last one left.

The monster (SPOILERS)

The monster/Forrmynður

Voiced by: ???

The antagonistic humanoid entity that hounds the team at Outpost Fristed. Season 3 reveals that there are more of these monsters in South America, as they terrorize the Piedra team.

In Season 4, Mor reveals that they are called the Forrmynður, or the Guardians.

Animalistic Abomination:
- The active Guardians at the Patagonia site include a massive bird and several swarms of insects
- In season 5 the Documentarian discovers that the unnaturally massive animal bones found at the sites belong to long-dead Guardians
- Jónas, after he turned into one was described to have "bony, thin legs curved like talons, and gnarled, thin toes similar to aged fingers."
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Their morality is WAY different than most other people's. One striking thing is that they believe that the boxes with teeth and hearts in them are something like memorials, and are left to ease the pain of those who have lost.
Evil Laugh: The humanoid ones tend to laugh to themselves when stalking or attacking intruders. The one impersonating Dr. Liu lets out a particularly chilling one before dragging off Maheer.
Hell Is That Noise: Somehow, it's able to sound like a voice over a radio speaker, among its more organic and monstrous noises.
Humanoid Abomination: The only "human" thing about it is that it's vaguely humanoid. It's tall, with slender limbs and sharp claws.
It Can Think: The Fristed monster inflicts enough damage to outpost systems to warrant people being sent over, damages their snowmobiles in exactly the same way so that using them is impossible, takes advantage of the team being drawn away from their base to ransack their food stores, and it and the others in later seasons prove able to coherently speak as their victims, albeit in a Creepy Monotone.
Was Once a Man: If Jónas' and Eva's fates are any indication, each of the monsters was once a person injured by one of the caves' guardians. Season 5 reveals that many of them were once normal animals before being transformed.

Characters introduced in Season 3

Dr. Carito Ureta

Voiced by: Alli Smalley

An Argentine professor from the University of La Plata. She heads the expedition team at Cerro Torre after being one of the first people to inspect the sit of the glyphs.

Adventurer Archaeologist: Dr. Ureta is more than willing to go out into the field.
Brutal Honesty: Dr. Ureta is as blunt and brutal as they come.
- Caustic Critic: She's especially tough, harsh, and rude to Eva, and wary of Dr. Liu's ideas.
Heroic BSoD: Though not quite heroic, she's still not a bad person, and her experiences at Base Camp Piedra end up breaking her down.
Hypocrite: At the initial team briefing Ureta advises the team to treat Dr. Liu with respect, despite her insistence that the Patagonian and Chinese sites are connected. Any time she interacts with Dr. Liu afterwards she treats her with contempt.
The Leader: Dr. Ureta is the lead researcher for the team staying at Base Camp Piedra.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Despite her abrasiveness, her first and foremost concern is that the expedition and research goes smoothly, though she does have her moments.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Spends most of her time until she's taken by the creature in her tent claiming to feel ill.

Dr. Josefa Guerrero

Voiced by: Carla García

An Chilean professor of archeology currently working in Pittsburg. She joins her friend and colleague Dr. Ureta to the expedition into the Patagonian site.

Admiring the Abomination: Is fascinated by the caves and their contents and has to be reminded multiple times in Season 4 that if she stays, the Base Camp Piedra survivors and the rescue team will likely both die.
Adventurer Archaeologist: An archeologist that's more than willing to get her own hands dirty in the field.
Break the Cutie: Josefa is determined and excitable and eager to learn more about the site, much like her assistant, Simon. And much like him, she goes through hell and back once she's there.
Creepy Good: Even before her sanity started to slip away, Josefa was always a nice and polite person. After she leaves Patagonia, she's still nice, polite, and eager, but sometimes in a far weirder and more disturbing way.
Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Josefa's ultimate goal in everything that she does. In her last note, written to her husband, she tells him that she found it, and she wants him to find the happiness in life.
She Knows Too Much: She states that this is the reason the statues are after her and Graham, and tries to warn Dragana away from doing the same.
Stepford Smiler: Even before the aforementioned breaking during the events of the season, Josefa was already dealing with her own personal depressions and pain, especially regarding her stagnating career and failing marriage.
Madness Mantra: Starts to repeat the "when you see it, it sees you" mantra several times after arriving in Ny-Ålesund.
Sanity Slippage: After being trapped in one of the deepest areas of the Patagonia site after the rock slide, her grip on reality slowly falls away for the remainder of season 4 and 5.

Simon Hall

Voiced by:Eric Nelsen

An American graduate student under Dr. Guerrero specializing in GIS mapping and digital preservation of historic sites. He comes along with the rest of the Cerro Torre expedition in order to gain material and experience for his doctorate.

An Arm and a Leg: The catastrophic damage to his ankle and subsequent massive infection results in the doctors amputating his foot once he makes it back to civilization.
Back for the Finale: Simon appears in a post-credits scene of the final episode of Season 5, having received an artifact.
Break the Cutie: Like Karina in Season 1, Simon is a sweet, excitable young man eager to be on the expedition only to go through utter hell once he's there.
Determinator: While he's definitely the meekest of the whole Base Camp Piedra crew, Simon is still an extremely determined man, best seen by him surviving trapped in the Patagonia Site for over a week on his own despite having several grievous injuries.
Eloquent in My Native Tongue: Simon speaks perfectly good English, but the majority of the conversation and reports on the expedition are in Spanish, which he hasn't studied since his first year of undergrad. When he does speak Spanish, it's halting, hesitant, and with an obvious accent.
Sole Survivor: The only member of the archaeological team sent to Base Camp Piedra to make it back down the mountain.
Straight Gay: Does not display any stereotypical gay mannerisms; the only indication of his sexuality is his relationship with his partner Raimey.

Lucas Criado

Voiced by:Danilo Battistini

A Brazilian professional guide working for Sina-Bene Retreats, a high-end "Adventure Tourism" company, hired to provide guidance and security for the archaeological crew in Patagonia.

Admiring the Abomination: Is fascinated by the cave and its contents and behaves worshipfully towards the creatures.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Initially presents himself as a friendly, if short tempered, guide. In reality he knew what awaited them at the Site and was actively trying to sacrifice the team to it.
Body Horror: After the Site "rejects" him, he's nearly eaten alive by the strange insects which infested the cave to the point his skin is so covered in welts it's described as pulsing. He also takes to self-mutilation in an attempt to "feed" the Site.
Madness Mantra: Insanely repeats the "When You see It, It sees You" chant in his native Portuguese after entering the Site proper.
The Mole: Worked with Sina-Bene Retreats to lure the archaeological team to the cave on Cerro Torre so they would be taken by the creatures.
Sanity Slippage: Once the team finds the cave leading to the main Patagonia Site, Lucas' mental state rapidly crumbles and arguably becomes more of a threat than even the guardians.
Transhuman Treachery: While ostensibly a member of the Family, Lucas desired foremost to be "chosen" and transformed by the Site, and proves more than willing to feed the rest of the team to the Site in an attempt to carry favor.

Eva Olivia Moreno

Voiced by:Diane Casanova

A Colombian doctoral candidate under Dr. Ureta who jumped at the opportunity to follow the archaeologist to Cerro Torre despite the personal enmity between them. She specializes in paleolithic human history, and believes humanity has much more to its ancient history than believed.

Better to Die than Be Killed: Stays behind to set off the demolition charges in order to die on her own terms rather than face mutating into a guardian.
Body Horror: Like Jónas her infection and slow mutation into a guardian is a horrific affair, with a lot of her arm's skin sloughing off when she's grabbed by Graham.
Break the Cutie: Like Simon she's a genuinely sweet and kind young woman who only wants to learn more about humanity's collective past, and goes through utter hell for it.
Claimed by the Supernatural: After she's infected she belongs to the Site, with the guardians ignoring her and herself having a psychic drive to return to the Site at all costs.
Determinator: Solo-descends from Cerro Torre despite several injuries in order to get help for the other survivors once the cave in at the Site cuts her off. Then she goes back despite having only a week at most to recover.
Dying as Yourself: Chooses to stay behind and blow up the theater at the Patagonian site because she's in the process of becoming one of the creatures and wants to destroy what she can before she's subsumed completely.
For Science!: She's the most enthusiastic of the group both for the initial expedition and the later exploration of the Site, and often waxes about how much more humanity stands to learn about its history even after the expedition goes wrong.
Heroic Sacrifice: Sacrifices herself setting off the explosives which destroy the Patagonia Site and allows the others to escape, although this had more severe repercussions later on.
Zombie Infectee: She is injured by one of the hazards of the cave (in this case stung by a swarm of bugs that came out when the door was opened) and is slowly becoming one of the monsters. Unlike Jonas, she eventually confides in Graham about her condition and, with his assistance, attempts to go out blowing up the Patagonian site before she can be completely converted.

Dr. Zhou Liu

Voiced by: Sophie Yang

A Chinese epigrapher who wanted to join Cerro Torre after seeing the glyphs, noticing the similarities to ones that she investigated from the Greater Khingan Mountains. She was also the one who investigated the glyphs recorded by Dr. Rosa de la Torre from Outpost Fristed, as well as the main narrator for the "Imperial" miniseries.

Ascended Extra: Originally Dr. Liu was part of the Imperial miniseries, before joining the main series in Season 3.
Cassandra Truth: From the start she insists there is a connection between the Patagonia and Chinese Sites, a view constantly dismissed by the others until it's too late. She knows what will come to pass due to her prior research of the site in China.
Frying Pan of Doom: In Season 3, Episode 7, Dr. Liu is frightened by something outside of the tent at Base Camp Piedra, and threatens it with a cooking pan. While it failed to scare away the monster, it did end up scaring Dr. Guerrero.
Go Mad from the Revelation: Dr. Liu was intensely interested in the glyphs, and when she started to learn what they meant, things started to take a turn for the worse for her...
Posthumous Character: Despite dying between Season 3 and Season 4, her research remains important during the remainder of Season 4 and 5.

Characters introduced in Season 4

Dragana Vuković

Voiced by: Tanja Milojevic

A Serbian field guide and old friend of Graham Casner. He brings her onto the team assembled to rescue the survivors at Base Camp Piedra.

Action Girl: She's Graham's equal in terms of skill and determination, fighting her way out of Patagonia before turning around and returning to Svalbard with her friend.
And This Is for...: Dragana delivers a speech while attacking the Documentarian in the finale episode, for Josefa and Maheer. She stopped at attacking for Graham, because she said she would kill the Documentarian if she was to do anything for him.
Back for the Finale: Dragana makes an extremely surprising reappearance in the last episode of Goshawk, being Iffy's emergency contact.
Broken Bird: After the events of Patagonia and Svalbard.
Early-Bird Cameo: She appears in the last episode of Season 3 before being formally introduced in Season 4.
Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: Punches Graham to the ground when he turns his gun on her while undergoing Site-induced psychosis. Thankfully this manages to bring him back.
No-Sell: Unlike her companions Graham Casner and Josefa Guerrero, Dragana is not affected by the voices spoken by the Guardians. Josefa and The Documentarian believe it's because she wasn't interested in learning more about the sites, unlike Graham and Josefa, and that her only involvement in this was to assist Graham.
Platonic Life-Partners: She and Graham have worked together and been friends for years. She's his daughter's godmother, and their friendship is the driving force behind why she goes with him on his return to Outpost Fristed, a journey that they're not likely to walk out of.
Sole Survivor: She's the only person to survive Graham's return to Outpost Fristed.

Maheer Issa

Voiced by: Haytham Alwan

A Lebanese mountaineering expert and an associate of the Documentarian's who joins the group to rescue the survivors of the Patagonia incident.

The Big Guy: Possibly more than Graham, Maheer is explicitly mentioned as being formidable and a veteran of Site exploration under the Documentarian.
Big Guy Fatality Syndrome: Is the first one to die from the Patagonia rescue team, getting dragged off by the guardian disguised as Liu.
Defiant to the End: While clearly terrified and in terrible pain, his last words are spitting at the guardians that his death means nothing, and humanity will triumph in the end.
Early-Bird Cameo: He appears in the last episode of Season 3 before being formally introduced in Season 4.
We Hardly Knew Ye: Maheer only spoke sporadically and was quite quiet, and thus the listener gets very little time to get to know him before he dies in the middle of Season 4.

Raimy Armstead

Voiced by: L. Jeffrey Moore

Simon's partner, an American accountant who travels to Patagonia to search for Simon after he stops receiving messages from him. After stumbling upon the rescue team in the hospital, he makes them take him with them.

Back for the Finale: Raimy appears in a post-credits scene of the final episode of Season 5, having received a call from Wällsigna about a job offer.
Early-Bird Cameo: Simon sends him messages throughout Season 3, before he appears in person in the last episode and then being formally introduced in Season 4.
Eloquent in My Native Tongue: Raimy manages to speak even worse Spanish than Simon.
Jumped at the Call: Raimy is not an experienced hiker or rescuer. He's just a guy who's boyfriend got lost in a cave and he was going to find him by any means necessary.

Mor

Voiced by: Karin Heimdahl

A cryptic Swedish businesswoman and the Documentarian's estranged mother. She sent a package to the Documentarian that kickstarted her investigation into the Fristed and Piedra incidents. Like the narrator, she has not disclosed her real name.

Big Good: While it doesn't seem that way at first, this is her ultimate role as someone trying to understand and control the sites to prevent harming more than is necessary.
Mama Bear: After Hulda insults her daughters in the finale, Mor goes almost ballistic on her.
Ms. Exposition: Explains the nature of the sites, the Families, and what is known of the Vault to the Documentarian.
Outliving One's Offspring: The (most likely non-accidental) death of her daughter Essie is what causes her to reach out to her other daughter, the Documentarian.
No Name Given: She is never referred to by name, instead requesting that the Documentarian call her "Mor" which is Swedish for "Mother." In the series finale, her name is revealed to be Agneta.
Superpowerful Genetics: As the head of one of the Families connected to the sites, she carries the mDNA trait that gives her immunity to the sites' effects.

Characters introduced in Season 5

Dr. Amelia Murray

Voiced by: Beth Eyre

A British oceanographer who was working in Svalbard. She conveniently has a helicopter that she can lend the team heading to Ny-Ålesund... on the sole condition that she joins them in their journey there. She later stays with the other survivors in Ny-Ålesund after one of them injures her without realizing she was there to help.

Ascended Extra: Originally Dr. Murray was part of the Iluka miniseries, before joining the main series in Season 5.
The Chosen One: For reasons unknown, Dr. Murray was the one chosen to put an end to the "old ways." Not even the Forrmynður she spoke to knew why she was chosen.
Mama Bear: As soon as the Forrmynður mentions that her son was in danger, she drops all anger and pretense about the situation and agrees to help, knowing it will protect him.
No-Sell: Josefa notes that the Statues and the creatures want nothing to do with her.
Uncertain Doom: The Documentarian states that her confrontation with the Forrmynður was the last known recording of her.

Ny-Ålesund Survivors

Dr. Carter Duàn, Nadine Teuling, Lisa Mǎ, Lorrie Warner, and Paul Green

Voiced by: Ewan Chung (Carter), Charlotte Norup (Nadine), Lauren Choo (Lisa), Lauren Claire (Lorrie), Sam Suksiri (Paul)

A group of people who survived the incident happening in Ny-Ålesund during Season 5. They hid inside of the weather station, which kept them safe from the creatures and other people who fell victim to them. The team sent to Svalbard came across them while looking for ways to get to Outpost Fristed. They consist of Dr. Carter Duàn, an Arctic researcher, Nadine Teuling, a nurse, Lisa Mǎ, a tour organizer, Lorrie Warner, a satellite technician, and Paul Green, a worker at the weather station.

Cassandra Truth: After they returned to Longyearbyen, their witness accounts were called into question, especially after other survivors were found, though they weren't as lucid as them.
Communications Officer: Lorrie spends most of her screen time in the season working the radios, much like Walter in Season 1.
Foil: They serve as one to the repair team at Outpost Fristed.
- Carter serves as one to Casner, as they're both The Leader of their respective groups.
- Nadine serves as one to Rosa. While Rosa was a doctor, Nadine is a nurse.
- Lisa serves as one to Karina. While Karina went insane because she was claimed by the site, Lisa is just suffering from the trauma of seeing her tour group killed.
- Both Lorrie and Paul serve as one to Walter. Lorrie, like Walter, is a British technician, while Paul's personality is similar to Walter's.
- Dr. Murray ends up serving as one to Jónas, as both are outside employees working for Sidja Group who know more about what's going on than they let on.
Hero of Another Story: While Carter briefly explains what happened in Ny-Ålesund prior to the weather going bad and how the group was formed, the specifics are never touched upon, nor is why this specific group were able to walk away relatively unharmed.
Locked Out of the Loop: They know very little about what is actually causing things, and are never fully informed. This is a deliberate choice on Graham, Josefa and Amelia's part, as they all know that trying to learn more only makes things worse, and so the best thing they can tell them is to survive, and to not ask questions or look deeper.
The Medic: Nadine is a nurse, and she patches up Amelia's hand after Carter breaks it, and later patches up Dragana when she returns from Outpost Fristed.
Out of Focus: Lorrie. She has much less screentime than Carter, Nadine, and Lisa (all of who are counted among the main cast of Season 5) due to working with the radio away from the others. She's still more involved than...
- Bit Character: Paul only appears in a brief scene in a single episode of Season 5 after being mentioned offhand a few times. The others say that it's because he's been passed out drunk the entire time.
Properly Paranoid: Lisa. Considering the fact that she was found under a pile of corpses of the tourist group she was guiding, she has all rights to be.

Characters introduced in Season 6/Goshawk

Jean Pelletier-Clarke

Voiced by: A.R. Olivieri

An American wildlife photographer who gets caught up in a rescue mission when his partner, Iffy, ends up capturing two women running for their lives in a photograph.

Creepy Monotone: In Iffy's dream after his murder, Jean speaks only in a flat monotone voice, telling her that he can't join her.
Decoy Protagonist: Jean spends much of the first three episodes as the main focus character, while Iffy is more of a Supporting Protagonist... until he's shot and killed, whereupon Iffy becomes the main focal character.
Nice Guy: He's a bit snarky, but overall he's a pretty decent guy who didn't give up the girls' location even in the face of death. Iffy describes him as better than her, even.

Iffy Talno

Voiced by: Lauren Tucker

A wildlife photographer who launches a rescue mission with her partner, Jean, when she catches two women running for their lives in a photograph.

Voiced by: Marcy Edwards

A young Canadian student who was kidnapped along with her older cousin, Mika.

Affectionate Nickname: Mika calls her "Birdy".
Heroic B So D: Mika's supposed death in Ep 9 sends her into hysterics, and she already wasn't in a good mental state to begin with.

Mika Fathers Tsįą

A young Canadian barista who was kidnapped along with her younger cousin, Adele.

Big Sister Instinct: While they're actually cousins, they were raised together and refer to each other as sisters, and Mika is very protective of Adele.

Must Have Caffeine: Mika is pretty happy at the prospect of Jason having coffee. As a barista, she's quite fond of it.

Sam ‘Es’ Gallo

Lewis Moulin

Voiced by: Michael Del Gaudio

One of the men hired to kidnap Adele and Mika. After being separated from Es, he's held prisoner by Iffy and the others and left tied up in an old house in Goshawk.

Cassandra Truth: Like Adele, he seems to notice more of the bizarre things going on, but because of what he did, the others won't listen to him.
The Dragon: Is this to Es.
Even Evil Has Standards: Lewis is an unrepentant kidnapper and an asshole, but even he thinks Es went too far with killing Jean, and later when Jason kills Mika.

Jason Uchida

Voiced by: Shion Francois

A Japanese-American researcher stationed in Goshawk that Iffy, Adele, and Mika stumbled upon and agreed to help.

Admiring the Abomination: Jason, after revealing his true colors, is enamored with the site at Goshawk and makes sacrifices for it while following a guiding voice.
