Nik Ryder
Nik Ryder is your bodyguard and one of your love interests. He has been hired to protect you, but doesn't know who hired him. In Chapter 1, he protects you when the bloodwraith attacks you. Through him, you are introduced to more of the supernatural world and more questions than he has answers. You two embark on a journey to find out who sent the bloodwraith and piece together what is happening in New Orleans.

Vera Reimonenq
Vera Reimonenq is Kristin's coworker and one of your love interests. Although you meet her in Chapter 1, she disappears and you do not see her again until Chapter 6 where you reconnect when Kristin wakes. Vera joins you in your search for answers.

Kristin Jones
Kristin Jones is your friend from college who celebrates your 25th birthday with you. When a bloodwraith grazes her, she falls into a coma and doesn't come out of it until Chapter 6. She remains in the hospital to recuperate.

Cal Lowell
Cal Lowell is one of your love interests. You meet him in Chapter 3 by happenstance as you and Nik venture to his Alpha's hunting lodge in search of Hunter's Sage. He is different than the rest of his pack, and asks for Nik's help in exchange for the Hunter's Sage. From there, you become friends and after his Alpha's death, he joins you and Nik to protect you.

Katherine
Katherine is Nik's rival and one of your love interests. You meet her in Chapter 4, when you, Nik, and Cal follow a lead on Donny to the Persephone, a club for elite supernatural beings. Although your interaction with her is brief (unless you choose to spend time with her via a premium scene), she helps the three of you out in Chapter 6 after another bloodwraith attack. From there, she joins your group to help find the answers you seek and to protect you because you remind her of someone she was once close to.

Lord Elric
In Chapter 11, you discover that Lord Elric is your biological father, making you half-Fae. He grants you and your friends sanctuary at the Lamrian for as long as you need. You can choose to visit the Fae Realm with him (premium scene) and learn a little magic. He tells you that you are unique, because half-Fae are exceedingly rare; the number alive can be counted on one hand. You are proof that any manner of miracle is possible.
