  • Isla Mackintosh (Commoner): An American lass looking for her older sister who disappeared before she was born. She has the power to bring people to life by drawing them, an ability that she found can be very dangerous.
  • Thorn (Lead Mastermind): A demigod who spent centuries trapped in a subterranean prison, until Isla's drawings gave him the power he needed to break free. As soon as he is freed, he starts moving to resume his war against Belatucadros.
  • Belatucadros (Rival Mastermind): The old god who imprisoned Thorn for rebelling against the old ways. He believes that human beings should be kept submissive to the gods, and that divine bloodlines should not be diluted by intermingling with humans.
