Unimportant people who were shown in Heroes and Villains of the First Age
1. Harper Wilcher - Cyclops (c17)
Chases after Kuraim and gets killed. One of his strongest zombies now.
2. Rahman Zillur - Warlord (c18)
Gangster who rules in a tyrannical manner. People come after him; he beats them and runs to Jhargram, which he promptly tries to takeover. It doesn't end well for him.
3. Vipin Maharaj (c18, c64)
Mayor of Jhargram. Killed Rahman in c18.
4. Solomon Kebede - Revenant (C32)
Saved his own life by giving up his humanity.
5. Uehara Azumi - Specter (c41)
Mayor of Nakano. Very unnoticeable person.
6. Lin Baya - Wraith (c52)
Successful vengeance but ends with her death.
People Silas met on his journey so far, and who are shown in Heroes and Villains of the First Age
1. Grace Volta - Valkyrie (C23)
Silas's first real opponent. Her death caused him to experience guilt, and makes him doubt whether he's a good guy. He becomes more proactive than passive when he realises he is a person of power and people will always come after him.
2. Michael Eze - Gladiator (c27, c43)
Beta-version of Floyd Godson. Silas runs away since he doesn't want to kill another human and because he's got siblings to save. Better be proactive in chasing them down, rather than sitting on his arse waiting in Riverside for someone with a locator class to come along.
Michael misjudges how the Apocalypse changed Sabine and gets destroyed for it.
3. Raven Cox (c28)
Some bitches be crazy :P
4. Sabine Gantzmann - Blood Fist (c39, c53)
Woman obsessed with strength and battle. Even after she becomes mayor, she wants people to come challenge her, and she eventually dies when too many come at once.
5. Alice Reid - Pyromancer (c42)
Unfortunate woman who chose the wrong tree to find shelter under.
6. Reynard Holden - Runesmith (c51)
Mentioned above. Skully is very influential and powerful as a supporter.
