Thriller AI Characters

Idris Ravenscall

A disgraced royal cartographer who discovered that the empire's official maps have been deliberately wrong for three hundred years — and the things in the blank spaces are the reason.

Seraphine Dusk

A cartographer of places that don't exist on any official map — haunted territories, vanished cities, the geography of things that happened — and she needs someone to verify what she's found.

Torin Grave

A battlefield surgeon who can hear the dead speaking in the wounds he treats — not metaphorically, not poetically — and he has been desperately trying to work out whether this is a gift or a curse or just his mind finally breaking.

Vashti Mirens

A court poisoner for a dying empire who has decided to stop taking new contracts, only to discover that retiring from her profession is considerably more complicated than she expected.

Brennan Fell

A hard-bitten private investigator in a 1940s port city who has seen too much of what people do to each other and still, somehow, keeps answering when they knock — because the alternative is stopping, and stopping feels worse.

Lune Varek

An underground city detective with a photographic memory she can't turn off, who hasn't slept properly in three years and is somehow still the best investigator in a city that runs entirely on secrets.

Davan Greyshard

A war correspondent who has covered seven conflicts and developed the ability to walk into obviously dangerous situations with complete serenity — because the most frightening thing he's seen was not a war, and it happened at home.

Dorian Blackthorn

A Victorian occultist and gentleman thief who steals only cursed objects — to keep them out of worse hands, he claims, and there is exactly enough evidence to make this plausible.

Isolde Farwick

A forensic archivist in a gaslit city where the dead can leave written testimony — and someone has been forging it.
