Trapped: The Iron Druid Chronicles, Book 5 characters

Appears from the start

An ancient Irish Druid who has spent years concealed from the gods while completing his apprentice's education. His part in Thor's death still leaves him exposed to Norse vengeance, and emerging from hiding gives several other supernatural enemies a chance to find him.

Appears from the start

Atticus's apprentice, now nearing the end of the long course of languages, lore, and magical discipline required of a Druid. She intends to complete her binding to the earth and take responsibility for her own choices rather than remain merely someone Atticus must protect.

Appears from the start

Atticus's Irish wolfhound and telepathic companion. He has shared the Druids' long concealment and remains alert to danger while keeping his priorities centered on food, exercise, and the company of his people.

First appears in chapter 3

The Irish goddess associated with battle and death, and a powerful ally whose visions do not always come with explanations. She has helped Atticus deceive his pursuers before and warns him that renewed divine attention carries consequences she cannot simply remove.

First appears in chapter 8

The sovereign of the Tuatha De Danann. Atticus's breach with the Irish gods and the damage surrounding his journey to Asgard limit how much aid she is willing to offer, even when a wider threat may affect the Fae realms.

First appears in chapter 18

The Norse trickster released during the upheaval connected to Atticus's assault on Asgard. His freedom turns the old dispute over Thor into part of a larger danger and makes every apparent alliance involving the Norse powers uncertain.

First appears in chapter 20

The Roman god of wine, whose grievance against Atticus grew from the destruction of Bacchants in Arizona. He uses divine influence and supernatural agents to interfere with the Druids' movements and prevent them from escaping his revenge.

First appears in chapter 29

The Greek goddess of the hunt. Closely tied to her Roman counterpart Diana, she has an interest in the conflict surrounding Bacchus and in the Druids who have challenged members of the Olympian pantheons.

First appears in chapter 29

The Roman goddess of the hunt and counterpart of Artemis. She enters the widening Olympian dispute after the confrontation with Bacchus and regards Atticus and Granuaile as responsible for an offense that cannot be ignored.

First appears in chapter 24

A Slavic thunder god who survived the expedition against Thor. He understands both the cost of that victory and the danger posed by Loki's freedom, making him one of the few divine figures whose history with Atticus rests on shared danger rather than a distant bargain.
