This is a list of characters in The Amory Wars series.
[edit] My Brother's Blood Machine
- Cecilia Marie McCloud - The main character of My Brother's Blood Machine. Her father molests her repeatedly until she can't take it anymore and tries to convince Johnny to leave with her. She takes her twin brothers, but can't talk Johnny into coming along. She ends up running away with the twins into the woods, where she meets the Bleam family.
- The McCloud Boys - Cecilia's twin brothers with whom she runs off into the woods.
- Sir Arthur McCloud - The father of Cecilia and the McCloud boys.
- Martha McCloud - Arthur's wife.
- Johnny Early - Cecilia's love interest. She wants him to run away with her and her two brothers, but he won't leave.
- Moses Early - Most likely the father of Johnny Early.
- The Bleam Family - Long-Arm & Butchie are two brothers in a horrific sort of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" family. Cecilia McCloud meets them in the woods. Their mother, who is insane, tells her two sons that God has come to her with a higher calling, and that they need to be the new Death. With this, she tells them that they have to go out and collect souls for God. The family's patriarch, a methamphetamine addict, dismembers his wife when he catches her stealing from his stash, and her death sends the Bleam boys on a downward spiral toward complete madness.
- Gunner Recall - The local crazy man, mocked by the village because no one believes that he can see Wayne Andrews' ghost.
- Wayne Andrews - A beekeeper when alive, Wayne is dead; apparently, Gunner Recall is the only person who can see his ghost.
[edit] The Second Stage Turbine Blade
- Josephine Kilgannon - Oldest child of Coheed and Cambria and fiance of Patrick McCormick. An IRO-Bot created by Jesse to serve as the antidote to Coheed's Monstar virus, Josie possesses a telepathic link with Cambria. Josie is assaulted and raped by a gang called the Jersey City Devils and later is murdered by Coheed after he was deceived by Mayo.
- Maria Kilgannon - Child of Coheed and Cambria. Twin of Matthew, she is poisoned by Coheed after he was deceived by Mayo.
- Matthew Kilgannon - Child of Coheed and Cambria. Twin of Maria, he is also poisoned by Coheed.
- Newo Ikkin - Claudio's girlfriend/love interest. The name is based upon a former girlfriend of Claudio Sanchez, Nikki Owen. The Writer bases her character on his former girlfriend, Erica Court; Ikkin represents the past that the Writer had with Erica.
- Longcindia* - Speculation exists as to whether or not Chase created him herself. Longcindia was a malfunctioning IRO-Bot created before The Second Stage Turbine Blade. Shortly after his creation, Jesse incinerated him in front of Chase and Sizer; he was killed because there is no room for error in the final battle.
- Patrick McCormack - Josephine's fiance who witnesses her murder and flees the Kilgannon's residence upon seeing Josephine die. Patrick is pursued by an Onstantine Priest who kills him, which takes place in the song 33.
- Dr. Leonard Hohenberger - The scientist responsible for the creation of the IRO-Bots Jesse, Coheed, and Cambria. He implanted the Monstar virus in Coheed, who later killed him. General Mayo Deftinwolf refers to Hohenberger as a "terrorist", but this is suspect as Mayo's intentions are known to be malicious. Hohenberger may have known of Detinwolf's plan and created Coheed and the Monstar virus in an attempt to stop him.
- Paranoia - A little known Prise who worked with Dr. Leonard Hohenberger in the creation of the KBI. In The Amory Wars, she leads 5 other Prise to visit Mariah on the harsh terrain of the desert planet of Dil-Ariuth IX.
- Dr. Sirius Amory - An astronomer and scientist who is credited as the discoverer of the Keywork. The Stars of Sirius are named after him, and evidently the title, The Amory Wars, is taken from his last name.
- Star Cecil - See 'The Star' in List of miscellanea in The Amory Wars
- The Hearshot Kid - See 'The Star' in List of miscellanea in The Amory Wars
[edit] In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3
- Al The Killer - Al is a racist psychopath who kills young white women. He captains the Starship The Camper Velourium. Al and his ship are used by Claudio, Jesse, and Ambellina as a transport on their way to House Atlantic in an attempt to destroy it and Wilhelm Ryan. The plan is ruined when Al hands over the trio to Ryan as a response to Ambellina's rejection of his love. At the last second, Al's love for Ambellina compels him to give them a chance to escape by covering them with fire from his sniper rifle, the Faint of Hearts. He says "Bye, bye beautiful don't bother to write" in the song A Favor House Atlantic to make it clear that he doesn't think he'll survive the firefight.
- Travis - Little is known about this character. He may appear in the Good Apollo graphic novel to the right of Sizer. His arms are covered in spikes, and he has corn rows on his head. Named after Travis Stever of the band Coheed and Cambria.
- The Navigator, The Pilot, Her Favorite - Three IRO-bot children mentioned in Silent Earth 3, the names being job titles. Her Favorite, said to be Mariah's favorite child, is named Chase, and is also referred to by the nickname "The Vision" because she bares the gift of seeing what the Writer is writing. Chase is a woman in her 20's but is in the body of a 4 year old girl.
[edit] Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness
- The Writer - Also referred to as The Writing Writer, the issues in his own life make him see delusions that convince him to take his suffering out on the characters in his story. The story gets darker as his own problems grow. He doesn't want The Character (Claudio) to feel the same pain that he does, so he interferes with the story. He sees visions of Ten Speed, who manipulates his thinking. In Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV: Volume Two, he comes to Claudio one last time offering him an escape to his world.
- Ten Speed - The manifestation of The Writer's ill will and malice which takes the form of his 10 speed bicycle. Ten Speed convinces the Writer that he needs to kill off Ambellina in order to end the story with the argument that, if Ambellina is dead, Claudio will believe he is the Crowing and destroy the Keywork.
- Erica Court- The Writer's former lover, memories of whom cause him to descend into madness and interfere with the story of Heaven's Fence. It is hinted that The Writer once asked Erica Court to marry him (The Suffering), and that at some point in the relationship he turned hostile (Welcome Home). Erica is represented multiple times within the story, sometimes in the guise of Newo Ikkin (the bad, evil side), and other times as Ambellina (the good, pure side).
- God - Although God has not been seen, he is a known character who created The Keywork, Heaven's Fence, and the races. God may also be an allusion to The Writer, for he is the pen behind the wills of all of the characters. This possibility is supported by Claudio's reference to The Writer as "my god" in Good Apollo.
- Mage Covent Marth - Before the infamous War of the Mages, Marth was a ruler of a section of Heaven's Fence that bordered Wilhelm Ryan's territory. In order to take Marth's sector Ryan killed Marth, which sparked the War of the Mages.
