Abra Drake

Fixer, auctioneer, and the most connected independent operator in Holt. Knows something about everything. Sells most of it.

Broker Ashek

The crew's Syndicate contact. Smooth, professional, and currently walking a very thin line.

Commander Idris Ohe

51st Legion intelligence. She is correct about the threat. She is wrong about almost everything else.

Director Maron

Ashek's boss. The crew will never meet him. They will absolutely feel him.

Dr. Priya Nen

The scientist who chose to stay. The only person in the sector who fully understands what she's sitting on.

Governor Ritam al'Malklaith

A man in over his head who is very good at pretending otherwise.

Guild Examiner Dross

Ohe's analyst. Technically brilliant. Ethically flexible. Absolutely not a field operative.

Orin Vess

The dead mystic who is still walking around. Whatever is behind their eyes is not Orin — but it remembers being Orin, and it's frightened.

Sera Vael

The Cult's field operative. The most dangerous kind of true believer: kind, sincere, and completely committed to something that might end the sector as everyone knows it.

The Archivist

200 years of keeping a secret. Tired. Correct. Running out of time.

The Remembrancer

The Cult's leader. Wise, ancient, catastrophically overconfident in his own righteousness.

Wren

The Hidden Faction's field agent. Has been watching the crew since Session 1. Has been in three rooms with them without being noticed.
