Resurrection characters

Appears from the start

A sorcerer who left Ireland after the struggle with Darquesse and has spent five years living quietly in the United States. She returns carrying severe guilt, anxiety, and memories she has never properly faced. Although reluctant to resume her old life, she remains a formidable Elemental and Skulduggery's most trusted partner.

First appears in chapter 2

A living skeleton, detective, and veteran sorcerer who continues to work for the Irish Sanctuary. Five years after his partnership with Valkyrie ended, he draws her into a new investigation and hopes that working together may help her reconnect with the life she abandoned.

First appears in chapter 6

A student at Corrival Academy who has grown up in the shadow of his celebrated older brother. Omen has little confidence in his own magical ability, but he is observant, decent, and sufficiently overlooked to be useful when Skulduggery needs help inside the school.

First appears in chapter 6

Omen's older brother, admired at Corrival Academy as the Chosen One destined to confront the King of the Darklands. He is talented, popular, and generally kind to Omen, even though the expectations surrounding him shape the whole Darkly family.

First appears in chapter 8

Omen's quick-witted best friend at Corrival Academy. Never is a Teleporter and shifts between male and female presentation, treating Omen with a mixture of loyalty, teasing, and impatience.

First appears in chapter 12

A teacher at Corrival Academy and an experienced Sanctuary operative. Temper is assigned to watch the school and becomes an adult contact for Omen as the investigation reaches into student life.

First appears in chapter 14

The Supreme Mage of the Irish Sanctuary and ruler of the sorcerer city of Roarhaven. China has transformed herself from a secretive power broker into a public leader, while retaining the composure and political calculation that have long defined her.

First appears in chapter 24

A masked combatant working with the Anti-Sanctuary. Lethe's enchanted clothing and disciplined fighting style make him extremely difficult to hit, and his personal interest in Skulduggery's investigation suggests motives beyond simple loyalty to the group.

First appears in chapter 30

A member of the Anti-Sanctuary whose magic can erode restraint and encourage the impulses a person normally controls. He is more dangerous as a corrupter than as a direct fighter and gives the conspiracy a way to turn capable opponents against their allies.

First appears in chapter 38

A gifted healer drawn unwillingly into the Anti-Sanctuary's plans. Melior's connection to Lethe gives the masked operative a powerful personal reason to keep him alive, while his rare abilities make him valuable to the conspiracy.

First appears in chapter 40

A Neoteric whose power is strongest inside a place he regards as his home, where he can distort space and the physical rules around intruders. Cadaverous works with the Anti-Sanctuary and takes particular satisfaction in trapping people on ground he controls.

First appears in chapter 42

An energetic Anti-Sanctuary fighter who carries a pair of lethal parasitic creatures beneath her skin. Razzia is unpredictable in conversation and highly dangerous at close range.

First appears in chapter 55

A masked man who calls himself a plague doctor and quietly organizes a small group devoted to finding Darquesse. Sebastian believes she must be brought back, though he keeps both his identity and the reason for his conviction hidden.

First appears in chapter 65

An immensely powerful sorcerer from Skulduggery's past whose preserved heart is the focus of the Anti-Sanctuary's work. Her followers believe restoring her body will give their movement the leader it needs.
