Incarnate Gods
Isha - Goddess of Life, Mother of the Eldar, Everqueen. Currently a refugee on Terra, having made an agreement with the Emperor of Mankind to provide him with her knowledge and tools in exchange for his protection.
The Emperor of Mankind - God of the Dead, Guardian of Souls and Lord of Terra. The Emperor has gone by many names over the ages, though the one he prefers most yet shares rarely is simply George. Ruthless warlord, brilliant scientist and currently the strongest living god opposed to Chaos, the Emperor intends to see humanity reunited and ascendant by any means necessary.
The Imperium of Man
Horus Lupercal - First found of the Primarchs, the genetically engineered twenty clone-sons of the Emperor. Despite his many gifts, currently a precocious child and the apple of his father's eye.
Malcador the Sigillite - The Emperor's right-hand and spymaster, who tends to the tedious but necessary groundwork needed to build an empire while the Emperor fixes his eyes on greater matters.
Amar Astarte - A gifted genewright who was recruited during the early days of the Imperium. Since then, she has worked her way up the ranks to becoming the Director of the Imperial Biotechnical Division.
Ezekiel Sedayne - A proud, prickly and ambitious scientist who is part of the Biotechnical Division.
Captain General Constantin Valdor - The first and oldest of the Emperor's Custodes, as well as their leader.
Shield Captain Juno Moneta - Isha's chief bodyguard.
Jenetia Krole - Commander of the Order of the Silent Sisters. A blank of incredible power who was saved from a life of unimaginable solitude by the Emperor, she is fiercely loyal to him, and foremost among his students in the art of hunting daemons and sorcerers.
Ushotan - Legate of the Fourth Thunder Warriors Legion. Currently with a new lease on life ever since he was healed and restored to sanity thanks to Isha's work.
Craftworld Iyanden
Mehlendri Silversoul - Fleetmaster of Iyanden. Mehlendri grew weary of the Aeldari Dominion's indolence and tedium long ago, but chose to venture out among the stars as an explorer and trader rather than join the pleasure cults. Now, she stands as the leader one of the last colonies of sane Eldar left.
Phoenix Dreamspinner - An ancient priest of Asuryan who cast aside his birth name long ago, and helped arrange the exodus of Eldar from the Dominon onto Iyanden during the last days before the Fall.
Invaril Brightshard: A close friend of Mehlendri's, a brilliant bonesinger and sorcerer currently trying to rework the warpcraft of the Eldar in the aftermath of the Fall.
Autarch Sernalla: The head of Iyanden's military. A relatively new role and one that Sernalla has held only for a few centuries, but she is nevertheless a diligent and skilled general.
Lord Cadaith: One of the Eldar who styled themselves as aristocrats and play an eternal game of thrones in order to lighten the ennui of the ages, Cadaith is nonetheless an honorable man dedicated to protecting his people despite his eccentricities.
Imladrik - One of the caretakers assigned to oversee the communal care and upbringing of Eldar children on Iyanden.
Mars
Kelbor Hal - Fabricator-General of the Mechanicum. Young by the standards of Tech-Priests, Kelbor-Hal's ascension is almost unprecedented, and a clear sign of his brilliance and ability. But Kelbor-Hal is not satisfied with merely Mars, and has ambitions of a Martian empire that spans the entire galaxy.
Zagreus Kane - Fabricator Locum of the Mechanicum, Kelbor-Hal's right-hand hand and oldest friend.
Luna
Heliosa-54: High Matriarch of the Selenar Cults, who has achieved a so-called form of immortality through cloning. It is unclear how much the current Heliosa has in common with the original, but what is clear is that she is proud, ambitious and clever.
