Seventh Seal - Principal Characters

 Principal characters.

Vesuvius - An imp on the side of the light, wise cracking and a cynic.  He has potent illusion powers and sits on the shoulder of Sluice. 

Sluice - A rock troll on the side of the light.  Made to appear as a giant human by Sluice.  Straight man to Vesuvius's jokes.

Amanda - Beautiful and deadly, a wide range of powers and quite frankly outclasses our dynamic duo.  Looks human, but isn't.  But her change is more than a simple illusion.  Works for the Blight.

Pete - A young teen with a great destiny.

Jesra - A young teen with a highly variable destiny, and a great x factor.
