A Keegan judge among the wealthy investors in the operation that prepares abducted children for sale as prospective immortals.

A captive child whose ability can create an opening in a floor. His exploration has uncovered a concealed route between levels of the captors' building and onward to the roof, giving the imprisoned children a possible escape path.
Legolas (Supporting)
First appears in chapter 21
Eddie's unfinished drone project for the orphanage. He plans to give it artificial intelligence by combining salvaged smartphone processors, but its intended weapons still require a military-grade mist engine that he does not yet possess.
Buddy (Supporting)
