Background: As the son of Northwalk’s ruling matriarch Honora, Julian holds a special place in the top echelon of the organization, along with his sister Claire, as an excellent doer of “odd jobs.”

Character Portrait: Honora

*WARNING: This post contains mild spoilers for people who haven’t read Vengeance or Retribution yet*

Full Name: Honora du Lothgard

Occupation: Leader of Northwalk

Gender: Female

Sexual Orientation: Hetero

Hair: Blond

Eyes: Blue

Height: 5′ 6″

Weight: 135 lbs

Hobbies: Manipulating the stock market and world events, destroying people with her icy glare

Background: Originating from England, Honora has been in charge of the powerful cabal Northwalk for a long time…almost an inhumanly long time. She rules the organization with an iron fist, directing cells across multiple countries in order to keep tight surveillance/control of the world’s seers.

Beneath the Surface: Everything is a means to an end to Honora, and the ends always justify the means. She will do whatever it takes to stay in power, and she’s smart enough to realize her continued reign is dependent on getting her hands on the young Alpha seers before the rival organization Yongjai can.

Beneath the Surface: Now that she’s finally received adequate treatment for her mental illness, Dani wants to make amends with the family she left behind.

Character Portrait: Zach

Full Name: Zachary Quinn

Occupation: Master hacker / high school student

Gender: Male

Sexual Orientation: Hetero

Hair: Black

Eyes: Blue

Height: 5′ 7″

Weight: 140 lbs

Hobbies: Computer anything, video games, delicately applying eyeliner

Background: Zach has spent all of his life so far in the Seattle area, where he lives in the suburbs with his mom. After mastering every conceivable hack for his PlayStation 4 and X-Box One, he graduated to building his own supercomputers in his room while covertly hacking other people’s systems for fun, and a little cash on the side. One of his regular clients is the tightly-wound P.I. Valentine Shepherd. Hey, it’s better than working at McDonald’s.

Beneath the Surface: Despite his Goth look, Zach is a good kid who keeps out of trouble in the physical world (the cyber world is another matter…). When he graduates from high school, he plans to work for Google or Microsoft, or maybe another start-up in the area who could use his particular set of skills. Wherever he goes, he needs to stick near his mom. He’s all she has, you know?

Eyes: Green

Height: 5′ 9″

Weight: 160 lbs

Hobbies: Drinking, attending wild parties, mooching off his parents

Background: Eugene – nicknamed Ginger for obvious reasons – is Abby’s brother. Though many people would consider him unemployed given how little work he actually does, he technically works for his father as the regional manager of several warehouses in the Seattle area.

Beneath the Surface: Ginger spent most of his life in his sister’s shadow, since she was always the “good one” while he was the “loser.” Eventually he embraced the moniker, and now prioritizes sex, drugs, and partying above all else. Still, he sticks close to his sister because she’s the only person who treats him with any semblance of respect.

Convinced he was really a good man despite what her father thought of him, she knew she could rehabilitate his bad boy image.

Beneath the Surface: Though Abby loves Max, and he says he loves her, she knows there’s still something between him and the P.I. who helped clear him of his father’s murder months ago. But Max shuts down whenever she tries to pry info about the mysterious Val out of him, claiming it’s over and he just wants to move on. In fact, there’s a part of him he won’t let Abby see, seeding in her doubts about the future of their relationship.

*WARNING: This post contains mild spoilers for people who haven’t read Vengeance or Retribution yet*

Hair: Black

Eyes: Blue

Height: 5′ 6″

Weight: 120 lbs

Hobbies: Endlessly thinking about the future, building strange machines

She’s connected somehow to the secret and powerful organization known as Northwalk, but does she run it, or is she one of their pawns?

Beneath the Surface: Cassandra is a powerful Alpha Seer: someone who can see the future all the time. But she sees not just one future; she sees all possible futures. The never-ending flood of information has made her connection to reality tenuous, and she’s slowly slipping into insanity.
