NPCs

Jordan Jr "Jojo" Jesigo (He/they) - Henrietta's youngest child. Adopted child of Henrietta and The Sailor. Currently residing at the M.R.S. Montessori. Possible Myriad.

Xilin (He/him) - An enigmatic figure who used to work for M.R.S. When presenting as a human, looks like a tall, lanky, handsome Chinese man with short black hair and gold-painted nails. Dressed very hip. When not in human form, looks like a brilliant, reflective golden-colored giraffe with scales, cloven hooves, and antlers. 

Martin Graves (He/him) - Monster-hunting Chosen One who has already fulfilled his prophecy. A white guy in his early 20s. Looks kinda like Elijah wood, with short mussed brown hair. One of his feet was badly burned, leading him to walk with a cane. Last seen at the Silky & The Solutions concert.

Lorelei (She/her) - Siren and opera singer. Larger blonde woman originally from Germany. One of Jamie’s contacts.

Henry Sweezle (He/him) - A guest from the Dirge, somehow involved in the events there. White man in his 30s or 40s with a whining voice and a rat-like face. Was on his way to VaccuCon, but the Hunters stopped him in Denver.
Carly Guarin (She/Her) - 16 year old Latina trans-woman. Keeley's biggest fan.
Poppy Graves (She/her) - A woman just touched with wrinkles, with shoulder-length light brown hair and kind coffee-colored eyes framed by a pair of rounded, dark blue glasses. Martin’s mother.

Calvin Graves (He/him) - A tall man wearing a hawaiian shirt over a lanky frame. He's bald, with a tight salt and pepper mustache over a mouth that is crooked into a constant expression of endearing, bemused apology. Martin’s father. 

Theresa Graves (She/her) - 30 year old white woman. Dark brown, bobbed hair. Tanktop. Martin’s oldest sister.

Charlie Graves (She/her) - 27 years old white woman. Frizzy black hair. Glasses. Brown eyes. Always has a book. Martin’s middle sister.
Jordan Jesigo (He/him) - The Sailor. Henrietta's former lover/captor, and head of M.R.S.
The Speaker (He/him) - You know him, he swear you've seen his face on the news at least a handful of times, maybe splashed across a press release, or his name listed prominently besides the words "Executive Producer". He's famous, powerful, rooted in a legacy of old money, with a voice that makes the mezzanine feel comfortably close and a smile that has launched a thousand business ventures. Leader of VaccuCon.
Magnolia Thornback (She/her) - Maggie's grandmother, now a ghost.
Thomas Wessler (He/him) - Old professor who works at a community college in CA. His granddaughter, Jenny Wessler, heard he was leaving on a cruise trip and looked up the company, she became nervous that he was being scammed by the cruise company.
Minny, Mauve & Bell (All She/Her) - Maggie's witchy cousins.
