Every entry below is hidden until you open it, and each names the chapter the character first appears in.

Scorio (Protagonist)

Appears from the start

An independent Flame Vault traveling with Naomi through the Iron Weald. His gold-tempered body and unusual mana practice let him endure punishment and replenish power in ways that surprise even his guide. He seeks Nox while refusing to place himself under a faction's control.

Naomi (Supporting)

Appears from the start

Scorio's Flame Vault companion, whose Nightmare Lady form fights with shadow and a bladed tail. She is determined to learn his unusual mana practice.

the Pyre Lady guide (Minor)

Appears from the start

An experienced Pyre Lady guiding Scorio and Naomi through the Iron Weald. She trains them in controlled mana use and protects the group with a six-armed ebon Eidolon.

the Iron Tyrant (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 6

The ruler of the Fury Spires, where he controls the reduced population of resident fiends. His expedition offers Scorio and Naomi provisional protection when they arrive injured.

Plassus (Supporting)

A Charnel Duke associated with a major force in the war against the Blood Ox. He previously tried to recruit Scorio and Naomi for the campaign.

the Blood Ox (Antagonist)

A true fiend holding Last Rock and defeating the forces sent against him. His sanctum prevents a simple intervention by the highest-ranked Great Souls, while continued defeat threatens Bastion and the northern layers.

Lianshi (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 7

A former close companion whom Scorio finds alive at the Fury Spires. He treats their reunion cautiously rather than assuming their old friendship remains intact.

Leonis (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 8

One of Scorio's friends from an earlier life, reborn without the memories they shared. At the Fury Spires, Leonis grants Scorio and Naomi a measure of trust.

Moira (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 8

An organizer of affairs in the Fiery Shoals who is preparing to leave aboard the Celestial Coffer. Her position makes her an important contact as rival powers gather around the war for Last Rock.

Queen Xandera (Supporting)

Also known as Xandera

First appears in chapter 9

The surviving Blazeborn queen of the Fury Spires. She serves the Iron Tyrant because her diminished people cannot resist him alone, accepting subordination as the price of their continued survival.

Amity (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 9

A Pyre Lord in the Iron Tyrant's service. One of his powers combines willing allies' strength into a single attack, while another constantly makes people feel more favorably toward him, whether he wants the effect or not.

Nox (Supporting)

Appears from the start

Scorio's fiend ally and the teacher whose mana practice helped shape Scorio's unusual abilities. Scorio begins searching for Nox so Naomi can learn the same technique.

Alain (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 12

A Flame Vault assigned to observe Scorio and Naomi for the Iron Tyrant. His permanent power causes people to overlook him unless they focus, leaving him isolated but effective as a spy. He offers covert access to Queen Xandera and hopes for safer companionship.

Ravenna (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 13

Moira's well-informed student and ally. She warns Scorio that his unexplained arrival and public reputation will be interpreted as evidence of a hidden allegiance, even while he tries to remain independent.

Jova (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 21

A Dread Blaze central to the attempt to reclaim Last Rock from the Blood Ox. She is expected to invoke old fiendish oaths and turn much of his army away from him.

Himiko (Supporting)

First appears in chapter 32

A Company 16 Dread Blaze assassin also known as the Shadow Petal. She slips from notice when nobody is thinking about her, can cross visible space instantly, and carries separate blades for cutting bodies and mana.

the two Imperators (Supporting)

Two allied fighters of the highest rank expected at the site of the Blood Ox's attack. Their intervention can restore Great Souls who appear to have died, making their arrival decisive for the devastated army.
