Protagonists

  • Arlessi Quon: A Sluissi, which is an alien that rarely works for the Empire. His loyalty is first to his craft and then to those who employ him. He is a genius inventor and tinkerer. Likes Cross in so much as he likes any human.
  • Armand Isard: Head of Imperial Intelligence, and Cross' mentor and superior. Despite what Cross thinks, he is cold and feels no sense of loyalty to those under him. His agents, including Cross, are pawns to be used.
  • IN-GA 44: Cross' assistant. She is a human replica droid, but without the hair or synthiskin that would make her seem human. Has weapons in her forearms and jets in her calves.
  • Jahan Cross: An Imperial Intelligence agent with the cover of a diplomatic envoy who reports directly to the Head of Imperial Intelligence, Armand Isard. When the Republic ended he was 10 years old, so he remembers the Clone Wars. Due to that experience, he believes that without the Empire there would be chaos.
