Hunted: The Iron Druid Chronicles, Book 6 characters

Appears from the start

An ancient Irish Druid fleeing the consequences of killing Bacchus. With magical travel restricted and two divine huntresses pursuing him, he must cross Europe while protecting Oberon and accepting that Granuaile is now a fellow Druid rather than his apprentice.

Appears from the start

A newly bound Druid whose years of training are complete. She shares the pursuit aimed at Atticus and brings her own judgment, bindings, and connection to the earth to the escape, refusing to be treated as a passenger in his conflict.

Appears from the start

Atticus's telepathic Irish wolfhound, running beside the two Druids as they cross Europe without dependable access to their usual magical routes. His senses and loyalty make him an active member of the fleeing group.

First appears in chapter 3

The Irish goddess of battle and death, bound to Atticus by affection, bargains, and her knowledge of how he is fated to die. Her visions make her assistance essential, though they also require choices the Druids cannot fully anticipate.

First appears in chapter 8

The Greek goddess of the hunt, pursuing Atticus and Granuaile after the death of Bacchus. She can track prey across ordinary terrain and brings divine weapons and experience to a chase the Druids cannot end merely by hiding.

First appears in chapter 8

The Roman goddess of the hunt and counterpart to Artemis. She joins the pursuit as an equal partner, treating the Druids as quarry and using the restrictions on magical travel to keep them exposed.

First appears in chapter 22

An Irish hunt goddess whose command of animals and knowledge of pursuit make her a natural counterweight to the Olympian huntresses. Her aid comes from old ties to Atticus and from concern about conflicts spilling across divine territories.

First appears in chapter 24

An English figure of the wild hunt who can offer help on ground where the fleeing Druids hope to make a stand. His authority is local and distinct from the Olympians pursuing them.

First appears in chapter 18

The Norse trickster whose escape followed the assault on Asgard. The pursuit by Artemis and Diana does not suspend his plans, and his ability to exploit disorder makes him a separate danger even when he is not the most visible hunter.

First appears in chapter 20

A Slavic thunder god and survivor of the expedition that killed Thor. His past alliance with Atticus and his awareness of Loki's danger make him one of the divine powers prepared to offer practical help rather than add another claim of vengeance.
