Major characters

  • Raven A 16-year-old demon. The only outward signs of her supernatural origins are her pointed ears, so she is able to pass as human in ordinary society. At the beginning of the story she is shy and introverted, due to not having had much experience with humans her own age. During the course of the story, she juggles her ordinary high school life and friends, her relationship with her adoptive father, her demonic nature and the supernatural world which can't seem to leave her alone. Despite her many troubles, she is nice, sweet and un-jaded.
  • Gabriel "Gabe" Raven's 36-year-old adoptive father. He's Isaac Jenner's older brother, and his past is filled with a number of secrets which are revealed during the course of the story. At one point in his life he was a member of a secret society called Network, where he researched demon activity. During his time with Network, he adopted the infant Raven, a society foundling. Two years prior to the beginning of the story, Gabe left Network in order to live a more normal life with Raven. Is in a relationship with Poe and works at a local museum.
  • John Simon An ex-double agent for the Network. He and Poe used to be in a relationship, and he has never quite gotten over that. He's a bit of a big brother to Raven but harbors a dislike for Gabe.
  • Poe A brainy and sword-wielding acquaintance of Gabriel's from Network. She has a romantic interest in Gabriel, and used to be in a relationship with John.
  • Mackenzie "Mac" and Malcolm "Mal" Raven's friends from high school. They are ordinary humans who are dragged into various extraordinary situations through their friendship with Raven. Mac is the more mischievous of the two, while Mal is the "straight man". The two have known each other since kindergarten.
  • Isaac Jenner The immature and spoiled head of a powerful and wealthy family which has made pacts with demons in the past. He blames Gabriel for a family misfortune and plots his revenge.
  • Daniel Sachs A loyal retainer to the Jenner family and the headmaster of the high school Raven, Mal and Mac attend. He's immortal due to having a demon heart. His backstory is explored in the comic A Distant Faith.
