Characters
Click here for an alphabetical list of all the characters that have corresponding pages.
Characters from the overarching story
- Eluviel Harsada
- Eluvelon
- Virgil, a Cambion searching for Eluviel Harsada
- Simeon Ibn Seif and his alter ego Simone Facouri
- Nargyle, a magic using Elf who was instrumental in convincing the Kharkorin king to attack Rosaria 50 years ago. His stated purpose as headmaster of the only magical academy in the world was the Elvish reclamation of the lands where the portal to the Fey Wild is situated, with some economic benefits thrown in, since Rosaria is the more fertile zone of the Hammerhead. Gladiola Faraday shared a speculation from the Weavers (the anti-war coalition helping magic users avoid prince Mordecai's conscription) that he might have been a paid instigator, though it's unclear who'd benefit... Gladiola's grandfather felt the rumour was credible, because this Nargyle wasn't headmaster when grandfather Faraday attended the school, nor was Nargyle a known candidate to become headmaster
Characters from arc 2

The crew of the Young Kraken
The ship The Young Kraken and her pirates' code
The Young Kraken has a better reputation than most pirate vessels, and for good reason. Mainly because Captain Magpie is often merciful, teaching his crew the same attitude. Sometimes we even let go of a prize because we didn’t want to resort to violence towards people that didn’t really deserve it.
Captain Magpie's guiding principles encourages us to develop and follow the Young Kraken's Pirate Code.

Ezra was unaware Aashvi is linked to the organization of magic users "The Weavers" who (treasonously) resist prince Mordecai conscripting the magic users for his renewal of the war with Kharkorin
