Characters

Charlie Bone- The main character in the series. He starts out as a shy boy then discovers that he can hear the thoughts of people in photographs. He helps Cook maintain the balance of the endowed. There should always be 5 versus 5. He also finds that he's a wizard due to his being related to a powerful Welsh wizard.

Fidelio Gunn- (One of Charlie's friends)- A good friend of Charlie, who is amazing at music though he is not endowed.

Emma Tolly- (One of Charlie's friends)- Emma was lost for the first 10 years of her life after being traded to the Bloor's for a suitcase that could somehow bring back the red king. She can turn into a bird and fly. She is an artist and lives with her aunt Miss Ingledew.

Olivia Vertigo- (One of Charlie's friends)- At first, Olivia was like Fidelio, not being endowed and feeling a tad left out. She was very adventurous, but being the best actress in the school probably kept her from getting expelled. Though in the fourth book she didn't receive the part in a movie she tried out for, then she fell into a big depression which led to the discovery that illusions are her endowment.

Maisie- (Charlie's other grandma)- Maisie was always a bit jealous of the Yewbeams but then she discovered that she is related to a Welsh wizard.
