When Magnus arrived at Birchport, it was only a "row of decrepit beach shacks" and he turned it into a town that had trading connections to Europe.

Aaron Hendricks
When Naomi asks if Flynn had an alibi, he says that he did a shift for Aaron down at the docks.



Marlon Barrister
You talk about him in a premium scene if you choose to tell Grant that your life is interesting. He is a super-intelligent Ivy League graduate. You think he is the most interesting person you've ever interviewed. He is convinced New York is secretly ruled by a cabal of vampires, a reference to Bloodbound.

Bar Woman 1
When you and Flynn go to a bar look for Tony Rez, you run into two women at the bar first. The women quickly make it clear that they don't like Kate and they aren't afraid to let you and Flynn know it. She bears a slight resemblance to Kaitlyn.

Andy Perello
The second person is Andy Perello who beat Bryce up in high school and died some months later in a car accident.



Alanis Acosta
Finally, he tells you about Alanis, Pierce's secretary who died in a house fire he finds "wicked suspicious." You later discover in Chapter 13 that she was Pierce's lover when you find a love letter she wrote to Pierce in April 1993 about her being pregnant. She was the mother of their son, Jeff. Nikolai set the house on fire after being told about the affair by Margaret. Pierce had planned to leave Margaret for Alanis, raise their child, and tell her about his illegal drug business, but Margaret couldn't let him do any of this.



Frat Bro
He heard that you and Flynn were looking for Kate and approaches you with what he calls 'juice goose.' When he tries to extort one thousand dollars out of the pair of you, you have the choice to pick between flirting with him or having Flynn rough him up to get the information after which he will tell you useful information that sends the two of you plus Naomi looking in the woods for Kate late that night. If Your Character decides to flirt with him and is male, Frat Bro will be swayed regardless of gender (thereby confirming he's de facto bisexual) and will confess to you that he's not out to the rest of his frat brothers. The news does lead to you finding Kate, but it also leads to your car being run off the road by a Dusk Avalon.

Miguel
He was Flynn's friend in prison. If you choose to patch Flynn up yourself, he tells you that a couple of neo-nazis tried to go after Miguel. Flynn dropped one with a punch, but the other one got Flynn in the side with a shiv.



Deni
In Chapter 7, Naomi tells you the story of the first time she was searching for a missing person. Her parents owned a ranch in rural Wyoming and had some farmhands who lived with them. Deni was the much younger son of one of the farmhands. When Naomi was 13 years old, Deni went missing in the middle of winter after having a fight with his father and then running away. Naomi found him and carried him back to the ranch so that he could be taken to hospital.

Nadia Sidani
Nadia Sidani is Kate's doctor after you find Kate with the help of Flynn and Naomi. She tells you and Flynn about Kate's condition, which is mostly good news except for the likelihood that Kate won't remember much about her captivity due to the drugs in her system. This is proven true shortly after when Kate wakes up. Her character model resembles the woman in the bonus scene of It Lives in the Woods.



Miss Chao
When you go with Grant to get flowers for Kate, she's the vendor. She is an older lady with weathered features and curly gray hair. She works at a floral stand where lilies and daisies spill over their tubs onto the sidewalk. She waves and winks at Grant as he approaches and he calls her an artist. He tells you that you'll never see a more gorgeous bouquet than hers. She creates a beautiful arrangement around the flower you picked out, then makes another for Grant that complements yours perfectly.

Lester Bovko
He was one of the attendees of the Sterlings' annual 4th of July gala. He had a heart attack after the fireworks explosion which had taken place earlier. Naomi brings him up when she talks about the aftermath of the explosion and says that there was a cardiologist in the crowd who told her he would be fine.



Waitress
Before you and Flynn can talk to Nikolai about explosives, he motions for a waitress to bring you drinks. Her character model resembles Izzy from It Lives In The Woods.



Mikhail
He is a chatty Russian guy who was one of a group of sketchy dudes whom Flynn made a delivery to once after he had got out of prison. When Mikhail found out Flynn lived in Birchport, he started asking about Nikolai. Specifically 'if Nikolai was still blowing things up and burning things down.' That was how Flynn knew Nikolai was the go-to guy for explosives.



Hanley Smalls
He was the previous owner of Flynn's houseboat. He was an old dockworker who took an interest in Flynn. He taught him how to fish and how to play poker. When the fishing industry was struggling, he and other small operators got hit hard so he racked up some serious debts. The guy who held his loan had no sympathy whatsoever and was planning to repossess Hanley's houseboat. Luckily, that guy had some problems of his own and couldn't resist a game of poker. The higher the stakes, the better. Flynn won Hanley his boat back. And when the old guy died, he left it to him. Flynn tells you about him in a premium scene.

Elina the Second
If you agree to go on a horseback ride with Naomi, you meet her two horses, Elina the Second and Nightbringer. The reason she's called "the Second" is the first Elina was her horse back in Wyoming. She is the horse you ride.



Nightbringer
He is the horse Naomi rides if you choose to go for a ride in the forest with her. According to Naomi, the name is "badass as hell".



Mac Hornby
Mac Hornby is Birchport's district attorney. He is shown to be devious, making up a story about Kate, depicting Your Character as an untrustworthy individual, and manipulating the testimonies of eyewitnesses to suit Pierce and Walsh's narratives and have Kate be apprehended. According to Flynn, Mac is a frequent guest at the Sterlings' parties, implying a close relationship with Pierce. This is shown during Kate's trial, when he tries to convince the jury that Kate is guilty of killing Tanner and staging her own kidnapping.

Sammy Jasper
Sammy is mentioned by Flynn after Nikolai got shot down. Flynn didn't think that things added up and therefore kept investigating. Sammy was Nikolai's drinking buddy and one night, Nikolai told him about his secret love, Margaret Sterling. This info leads your investigation into the right direction.

Tino Thompson
Tino comes to take over the case and take Chief Walsh and Margaret Sterling into custody. Before he can do this, he is murdered by Deputy Duffy just before Duffy kills Tino's two prisoners and kidnaps Kate with the intention of killing her too.
