=== Main Characters ===

Nightingale Jasper (chpt1, 2, 3)
* is male, and relatively young.
* has blue eyes, and sandy blond hair.
* is a down-on-his-luck scavenger.
* is a Solar, Eclipse Caste. His past life's anima banner was a "sun shrouded by a lotus blossom." (chpt2)
* Exalted roughly three years ago.
* has vivid dreams of his past life, and obsessively searches for the Manse he sees in those dreams.
* has displayed knowledge of Harmonious Presence Meditation and Spirit-Steadying Assurances (thus Master Horseman's Eye, as well); it's strongly implied that he also knows Irresistible Salesman Spirit (and by extension, Frugal Merchant Method, Insightful Buyer Technique, and Consumer-Evaluating Glance)and Listener-Swaying Argument. He definitely does NOT know Unshakeable Bloodhound Technique.
* once worked for a woman named Calia.
* was the only survivor of some disaster which befell one of Calia's scavenging expeditions; this corresponded to his Exaltation.
* was rescued by Mahi-Sura at least once.
* knows how to use a spear.
*Does not know his past life's name. Elizabeth says, "He identifies with his past life so strongly that I doubt he'd ever even want to separate that person from himself."

Mahi-Sura (chpt1, 2, 3)
* is female, not described as particularly young- or old-looking.
* has a dark complexion, wavy black hair, and dark eyes.
* wears earrings made from rattlesnake rattles, and lines her eyes with kohl like an ancient Egyptian.
* has a small business as an apothecary/herbalist.
* is a Lunar, of indeterminate Caste (probably No-Moon).
* has Diamondback Rattlesnake as her Totem, and a silver-lined scaled diamond on her forehead as a Tell (I envision her having similar diamond markings along her back -- for the obvious reason -- but don't actually say it in the story).
* may or may not be a member of the Silver Pact (I think she is, but I don't actually say anything in the story which would lead a reader to that conclusion).
* may know Blood On The Wind (and thus Heightened Smell & Taste Method, and Sense-Sharpening Change); almost certainly has some way of defeating Trail Concealing Measurement.
* saved Jasper's life at least once.
* was Jasper's scavenging buddy for a significant period of time.
* knows how to use a spear.
* reads Old Realm

=== Major Supporting Players ===

Dellano Rift (chpt1, 2, 3)
* is male, not described as particularly young- or old-looking.
* is tall, slim, and black, with dark eyes and dreadlocks. Has a beard. Wears beads in his hair.
* is Dragon-Blooded, pretty obviously Earth Aspect.
* is a well-known and successful scavenger.
* is strongly implied to know Trail Concealing Measurement (and by extension, Quarry Revelation Technique and Wild-Wandering Forester Charm). Used Unsleeping Earth Meditation. (chpt2)
* found an orichalcum dire lance which ties in with Jasper's past-life visions.
* has reasonable, but incorrect, ideas about the nature of Jasper's obsession.
* was at one point a member of the Immaculate Order, though he fled when he relized that while what they did was for a reason, he could not contribute in the destruction of someone that was to that point an innocent.
* Recounts memories verbally if he is not careful, almost like a war veteran.
* has displayed some knowledge of occult lore.

Allandra, the Chronicler of Thunders (aka Memory of Storms) (1, 2, 3, 4, 7)
* has red anima flare
* made mystery pact with Yu Shan Sidereals to enter their service for protection from the Ursurpation
* has no memories other than those she's been paid with
* is put into cold storage between message to stymie the growth of her power, the Curse, and the regaining of her memories.
* acts as hitman for high-powered targets for Sidereals
* her first hit was Jasper's previous incarnation
* is paid in memories
* keeps tokens of her battles; Jasper's spear was her favorite
* designed Jasper's spear
* always wears a scaft of shawl over her face
* Jasper loved her once

Dirt and Iron Historian (3, 4)

* works as messenger for Chronicler of Thunders
* likes his lack of a desk job
* proper British gentle-butler, knows kung fu
