Boone straddles Never’s two worlds with a quiet intensity. A sheriff’s deputy, he is known for his stoic demeanor, keen tracking skills, and an unsettling ability to “hear the dead wind” — a supernatural talent passed down through his mother’s bloodline. Though he keeps his craft hidden from most, whispers of Boone’s eerie intuition and uncanny luck haunt the town’s saloons and prayer circles alike. His most valuable possession is a charred silver pocket watch that once belonged to his late mentor. The watch ticks only in the presence of lies, and sometimes, when Boone holds it, it speaks with the voice of the dead man who gave it to him.
Ishan Rai
A wrathful spirit that haunts the streets of Never. Ishan’s trust in humanity was broken when he, as a Pinkerton, was brutally killed. He still hunts for criminals, but he no longer does it to make the world a better place. His hopeful worldview died with him. Now he hunts simply to punish.
Hattie Moore
Hattie is a strange witch, having come to Never on her own, she wishes to prove to everyone and anyone that she can make it in this world without help. Even if she does secretly enjoy the companionship of others. Hattie doesn’t fully understand the limits of her powers or everything she can do, but she’s in the process of figuring it out while attempting to protect herself from the past.
Currently, she uses her time to write under a male pseudonym in hopes of making more money than if she were using her real name. It works. Now it’s up to her to determine if she wants to curse or welcome people with open arms. Who knows where she lies on any given day?
Solomon van Rijn
FC: Alexander Skarsgård
It has always been the task of Good and Holy Angels to carry out divine vengeance. But how does one smite with the Wrath of God when the sin is that of loving the wrong person? A question for the ages, and one which Solomon, as he’s now known, has no intention of answering any time soon. Over twenty years ago, a silver-tongued demon let slip the most selfless of casual utterances with far-reaching consequences. Once an angel of retribution, Solomon found himself in Never, bereft of his identity save a new name, a cause, a purpose: get the disjointed stories rattling around in his brain out of it, and into the world. The truth, as he knows it, in black and white for a world that was anything but. Unbeknownst to this bookbinding amnesiac, the cause of his forgetfulness lingers on the edges of town, watching from afar, ever wary of threatening the tenuousness of Solomon’s mental state and safety. After all, isn’t it better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all?

Juniper Quill
Juniper Quill is a vibrant, eccentric witch who runs the Green Jar Apothecary in Never. Though she appears in her early 30s, she’s lived nearly twice as long, with a past as tangled as her perpetually windblown red hair.

A “miracle” allows her to feel what others feel, making her both deeply compassionate and often overwhelmed.
Alaka’i Roden
