Edward Jackson

Site Canon Character
Co-Owner of Jackson Bros. Store
Human · 30s-40s · Male
FC: Jesse Williams

Site Canon Character
, ,

Edward and his younger brother Theo grew up together in a working-class family in Manassas, Virginia. Their schoolteacher mother ensured their education and encouraged their aspirations. Six years ago, after several trips west and a good deal of careful research, the brothers took their savings and invested in a modest, well-kept general store in the growing town of Never, New Mexico. The two have since become fixtures in the town, their business an undeniable success. Lately, they have been looking to expand into other investments to serve the booming population, and have been at loggerheads: Edward, the more disciplined and cautious of the two, remains unconvinced by many of his younger, more impulsive brother’s ideas.

Julián Aguilar

Site Canon Character
Blacksmith
Human · 30s-40s · Male
FC: Juan Pablo Di Pace

Site Canon Character
, , ,

Always a solemn child, Julián embodied the archetype of the eldest son–responsible and obedient. His personality combined the best of his father’s determination and his mother’s patience, and even his adolescent years were mostly absent the usual teenage rebellions. When it became clear that he hadn’t inherited his mother’s magic, he channeled that disappointment into proving himself useful in other ways: excellence in his work; care for his siblings; expansion of the family business. He kept any uncertainties or insecurities contained behind a serene exterior. His family teased that he showed more affection toward the horses they stabled than toward anyone outside the family, and he smiled along, but the truth was that he kept his passions just as secret as his doubts. No one knew that his great romance ended in tragedy. No one understands that when he buries himself more thoroughly in work than ever before, they’re witnessing the aftermath of personal catastrophe.

Samuel Grey

Site Canon Character
Mayor of Never
Demon · 40s-50s · Male
FC: Jeffrey Morgan
, , ,
Site Canon Character
, , ,

Samuel Grey is the silver-tongued mayor of Never, a rare beacon of civilization in the wild frontier. A devoted father to his two sons and daughter, he presents himself as a pragmatic and forward-thinking leader, skilled in diplomacy and shrewd in negotiation. Under his steady hand, Never has flourished — Its streets are orderly, its coffers full, and its citizens unknowingly living within the carefully crafted boundaries of his design.

But beneath the fine waistcoats and practiced smiles, Samuel Grey is no mere man. He is a demon of ancient cunning, building Never into a proving ground where lost souls are nudged ever so gently toward corruption. Unlike the crude horrors of the infernal ranks, Samuel understands that true damnation isn’t forced, it’s chosen. He does not tempt with fire and brimstone, but with comfort, ambition, and whispered justifications.

At the heart of his scheme is the Grey Family Estate, a grand but unsettling mansion in the town’s wealthy neighborhood of Greystone. Within its study lies a massive ledger, bound in shadow-black leather, where Samuel carefully records every citizen’s moral debts: Their sins, their regrets, their quiet compromises. Each entry is more than ink; it is a tally in a game the townsfolk don’t know they’re playing.

Aaron Bayliss

Never Sheriff
Human · Mid-30s · Male
Played by Keaton
FC: Lee Pace

, , ,

Aaron Baylis came west from the Midwest in search of freedom, fresh air, and a new start. He traded the crowded streets of the city for the open skies of New Mexico, thinking the job of sheriff in a small, quiet town like Never would offer a slower pace and a chance to settle into his own skin. But Never is anything but ordinary.

Still new to the role, Aaron is adapting to the town’s oddities — Strange behavior, unusual disappearances, the occasional unexplainable event — with the kind of steady patience that makes him well-liked by locals. He doesn’t yet realize the town hides supernatural forces in plain sight, but he’s beginning to suspect there’s something off about Never. Oddly enough, it’s a feeling he doesn’t mind. Perhaps it’s because Aaron himself is no stranger to secrecy. Quietly gay in a time and place that offers little safety for it, he’s learned how to guard pieces of himself from the world.

As the mysteries around him grow deeper, Aaron begins to wonder if this strange, watchful town might be the one place where a man like him — One with secrets, heart, and hope — might actually belong.

Sidney Grey

Site Canon Character
Student
Witch · 16-20s · Male
FC: Louis Partridge
, , ,
Site Canon Character
, , ,

Sidney is a PURITAN WITCH with ELEMENTAL common powers.

Sidney Grey is the youngest son of Never’s esteemed mayor — A boy of privilege, charm, and restless curiosity. On the cusp of adulthood, he is caught between the expectations of his family and the wild pull of the frontier beyond his father’s well-ordered streets. Raised on etiquette and ambition, Sidney has been groomed for leadership, but something inside him resists the path laid before him. There is an itch beneath his skin, a feeling like forgotten words on the tip of his tongue.

What Sidney doesn’t know is that his father is a demon, his mother a witch, and the strange, flickering talents surfacing within him are the inheritance of both. Shadows lengthen when he is angry. Candles die when he enters a room. Sometimes, when he dreams, he wakes with soot on his fingertips and the distant echo of a voice he does not recognize.

Clarence Barron

Site Canon Character
Owner of the Pearl
Human · 50s · Male
FC: Michael Stuhlbarg
, , ,
Site Canon Character
, , ,

Clarence has always been easy to underestimate. As a child, he was frail and bookish, a stark contrast to the two strapping brothers who followed him. His father expected little and his mother even less. When his father died, he dared to hope that the world–or at least the rest of his own family–might start to take him seriously. Instead, his younger brother stepped into the role of man of the house without so much as a word of discussion, and Clarence settled into the kind of resentment that either poisons a man from within…or sets him free. Whatever his private truth might have been, he refused to box himself up small to fit the old container designed by his family. He left them back east and headed out west, where a man could supposedly make his own destiny.

Several decades (and deviances) later, he’s become one of Never’s most well-established residents. The demon that heeds his commands is a double-edged sword, but even his detractors can’t ignore the political, financial and social influence that she’s given him.

Felix Salazar

Site Canon Character
Barber
Demon · 30s-40s · Male
FC: Miguel Ángel Silvestre
, ,
Site Canon Character
, ,

Felix Salazar is the most sought-after barber in Never, not just for his razor’s precision or the indulgent warmth of his lather, but for the experience he makes of every visit. His shop, nestled off a quieter side street, is a dim, fragrant haven where time slows down and pleasures linger. Felix himself is a sensualist to the bone: Graceful in his movements, silver-tongued in conversation, and always clad in crisp waistcoats that smell faintly of clove and smoke. He’ll remember your name, your drink, your dreams, and he’ll listen, truly listen, as you pour them out in the chair.

Beneath that velvet charm, though, lies his darker calling as a demon, placed in Never to seduce the weary, the lonesome, and the damned into taking one small step further into Hell’s embrace. He doesn’t pressure, he tempts. A whispered suggestion, a shared secret, a decadent favor with just the right price. His scissors shape more than hair; they trim the edges of a soul’s resistance, snipping away hesitation thread by thread.

Duke Aguilar

Site Canon Character
Blacksmith
Human · 40s-50s · Male
FC: Pedro Pascal
, , ,
Site Canon Character
, , ,

Like generations of his forefathers in Argentina, Duke Aguilar has always had a way with horses. Even the most spirited stallion or ornery pack horse would yield to his murmured words and calming hands. When his family fled the growing political and social unrest of their homeland, that skill proved just as valuable to the ranchers of California as the ones in Buenos Aires. For years, he coasted on those talents and his charm, weaponizing a sheepish smile and soulful eyes, getting what he wanted with as little effort as possible.

That worked perfectly well until he ran headfirst into Gloria Mata, whose determined disinterest drove him to absolute distraction. Winning her heart took time and effort, but when she finally gave him her hand, she also offered him the truth. She was a witch–the first he had ever known, though he’d long believed in magic. To protect her and soon enough, their children, Duke left his family legacy behind and bent his skill with horses into a slightly different direction. In Never, he runs the livery and works at the forge, with his children following in his footsteps. If the closest he gets to a horse these days is hammering on its shoes… He tries not to let nostalgia sour his overall satisfaction.

Otto Bell

Site Canon Character
Co-Owner of the Silver Hills Hotel
Angel · 40s-50s · Male
FC: Patton Oswalt
, , ,
Site Canon Character
, , ,

Otto Bell is the jovial half of the Silver Hills Hotel duo, always ready with a quick joke or a playful quip to put guests at ease. His humor is infectious, and he has a natural gift for making even the most anxious traveler feel welcome and comfortable. Whether he’s cracking jokes behind the desk or creating a lively atmosphere at the hotel’s social gatherings, Otto’s ability to bring joy and laughter makes him a beloved figure in Never.

But beneath the playful exterior, Otto shares his sister Maggie’s angelic calling. While Maggie guides lost souls with quiet grace, Otto is the one who gently lifts their spirits with humor and warmth, easing their burdens before they continue their journey. His mission to help the lost find their way to Heaven is woven into his every action, though he wears it lightly. He may be more inclined to crack a joke than preach, but he is just as devoted to his heavenly task as Maggie — Ensuring that the light of kindness and laughter reaches even the darkest corners of the town.
