Character Descriptions
Achet: Healer, honest, man of the earth
Alice: Receptionist at Archangel Michael’s office. She is beautiful because she is an angel, but her face shows that she is stern. She has a soft side, too. She does not have a sense of humor.
Athena
Brahma (C2): The spokesperson for the Four, is resolute and eloquent, instilled with a scholarly mind and an ambitious vision for a harmonious universe. He stands firm before gods and foes, his poise unshaken even under dire threats.
Camile: a spiritual network that allows spirits to communicate through dimensions. Only spirits that communicate through Jehovah’s love, angels, can use Camile. Self-serving messages and messages of destruction cannot travel this network; when this is attempted, the archangels and the investigator angels are notified. When an angel goes missing, an echo is heard and felt.
Commander (C5): Victoria’s loyal dog and trusted companion that provides emotional support and serves as her anchor to physical reality when she navigates her spiritual visions and battles.
Diwata (C40): Lakita’s friend and lover when they turn 17. Diwata has many powers and is Lakita’s biggest supporter. She helps subdue Jehovah at the end of TTD. Lakita faces a dilemma because Diwata and Lakita enjoy a long relationship with Tom’s future. Under Henry’s future, a time of peace and prosperity exists, but not before a series of ongoing fierce battles between the Demons and Angels ensue. Diwata is raped and killed on the battlefield in front of Lakita in the second War of Demons.

Encanto (C4): P’aqo’s faithful horse, a sturdy and reliable companion on his journey. Encanto does not require P’aqo to be a nice or gentle person. The horse displays unshaken loyalty and calmness even in the presence of supernatural events, embodying the connection between P’aqo and the natural world.
Gwen (Cn): The offspring of P’aqo and Nikki. [Story: A young Achet – later his name is changed to P’aqo- is beaten by his father when he cannot accomplish a simple street trick to get food. P’aqo cries to sleep, asking the gods to help him be good enough to please his father. Lucifer comes to P’aqo in the dream and promises to help him if he will be his servant and glorify him alone. P’aqo agrees, and Lucifer goes away. Luci asks P’aqo to steal a coin from Nikki’s boyfriend and impregnate Gwen. P’aqo shape-shifts into a beautiful young woman to entice Nikki’s boyfriend to become intoxicated and get the coin. He then shapeshifts into Nikki’s boyfriend’s body. P’aqo impregnates Nikki, and she (Gwen) grows up to become a powerful yet rebellious young woman.] She learns about Jehovah’s plan for destruction.

Henry Snyder: Major character. Henry is an ordinary man living a simple life by the sea, most content during the serene moments of sunrise. He is a Cannabis Study major at New Berkeley University, working part-time as a library librarian. Unbeknownst to him, he embodies the great Zhulong, a destined teacher and keeper of wisdom. He is characterized by an unassuming appearance and a wise soul, concealed by an ‘average Joe’ demeanor.

Ikart Investigator is a smart and witty angel, a detective/investigator for Jehovah. He is focused on solving the disappearance of Panea, a Guardian Angel. He is on a journey to meet the Council and is going from the Spiritual realm to the portal, which will take him to the Garden of Ancients. Victoria and Julia help Ikart by identifying spiritual traps.
Powers: [1] Secret communications not requiring Camille, [2] Stealth/Invisibility from any Jehovan creation.
(C1): Ikart is conflicted, torn between his duties as an Investigator Angel and his desire for rest and relaxation. He often resorts to sarcasm and humor to cope with his circumstances. He possesses a heightened emotional sensitivity, which helps him in his investigative duties. He shows a flirtatious side, particularly with Alice, and longs for deeper connections. He has a divine or ethereal quality typical of angels, making him inherently beautiful.
He has large wings that are used frequently and sometimes ache. His halo can show his power level, as can all angels with halos. Archangels do not have halos.
Imps, Pixies, and Sprites: Pixies and sprites are both fairies, but sprites are closer to spirit or insect-like. While pixies are closer to earth elements or nature, they live underground or in stone ruins, which can be helpful to humans.
Jeffrey (C2): An ophanim appearing as a series of wheels rotating around an all-seeing eye, Jeffrey is one of several throne guards for Jehovah. He got his name from a Jinn whom he trained in martial arts.
Ophanim has four faces that are rotating wheels around a large eye. He has four large majestic wings that are invisible but allow him to be very mobile. Unlike the other Ophanim, Jeffrey is social and independent. Jeffrey hides his faces and wings. His hands are like human hands that he keeps tucked in under his wings. His hands attach to his long, slender, fast, and strong arms. He has many eyes around the four wheels that surround his large eye, which does not blink and has two sides. He never sleeps.
Jeffrey leads worship when he is selected. He is shy and not smart but playful and deadly. If he thinks you are making fun of him or Jehovah, he will smash his victim by freezing him with a frozen stare and then hitting them with a lightning strike from one of his eyes.
Jeffrey enjoys mischievous activities despite his serious duties, often using his powers for playful antics. His unique appearance and unpredictable nature make him a fascinating, albeit sometimes troublesome, companion. He likes to meet with friends and play Gitzak in the park.
Powers: [1] shape-shifting, [2] Emo freeze, [3] Freeze destruction from eye stare, [4] Particle manipulation [5] astral, emo, and kinetic destruction
Jehovah (C2,3): Jehovah is a powerful deity known as the ‘Ancient of Days’ and is a figure of infinite patience and deep wisdom. He is characterized by a drive for creativity and a deep desire to be worshipped. Still, he also has an air of serenity and resilience, contrasting with his remarkable capacity for raw elemental power. He is depicted as omnipotent and grapples with his self-recognized flaw of jealousy. Having a son helps him evolve, and he begins to exhibit a growing understanding of love and forgiveness.
Jehovah’s Son (Clone): Joshua is a quiet, shy boy who is very wise and gentle. He has many women who cater to him, but he is not romantically involved. He makes and keeps friends easily. Men and women come up to ask for help, and he usually graciously refuses unless ‘His father’ tells him to take care of it. He is very close with his father and always consults him. He is wise and gentle. He showed anger when he went to the market once because someone spoke badly of his father, and he did not like the way they acted with his father’s things.

Kisit (C22): Ikart’s Editor
Kelel (C22): Ikart’s supervisor
Lakita (Cn): An Emo Master living in the time of TTD. Lakita is a determined and skilled agent with conflicted loyalties. She requires Henry’s unique power to fulfill her obligations to the Council, yet she is seen as cold and heartless due to her role in Tom’s demise. Beneath her tough exterior, she harbors fears and uncertainties about the Council’s cause.
As a teen, before TTD, Lakita learns from Victoria and Laka (Lakita’s mother). Lakita enters military service and later receives an appointment to be a colonel. During TTD, appointed Governor and Judge of NW Council Region #5 in Peru. She sought to recruit strong allies. After Jehovah and Gabriel execute Laka, Victoria and Lakita align with Luci.
Lord Lakita is a conflicted, authoritative figure possessing immense destructive power who seeks to understand and perhaps trust Henry’s wisdom. She was rebellious as a teen with her friend Diwata. Lakita is not of the deity class but commands respect and power, intrigued by Henry’s potential and seeking alignment with his abilities. Lakita learns from Henry how to capture Jehovah but communicates with Henry first to determine if she can trust him (C1) and then to get advice on defusing Armageddon (around C40).
Lauren Strauss: Class president and Chinese Literature major at New Berkeley and an aspiring Public Emissary Assistant with the Council. Lauren has a deep academic commitment as she stands at the crossroads of personal loyalty, professional ambition, and societal change.
Lindsey (C2): Lindsey is a Gender and Sexuality major at New Berkeley. She is best friends with Lauren, and Henry’s best friend is a compassionate and skilled communicator. Linsey excels in social discourse and provides emotional support. She carries a personal burden of infertility, which causes tension with Lauren’s judgmental mother.
Lindsey is a shape-shifter. She commonly watches over her master, Henry, as a gull.
Lindsey was raised by her grandmother. Grandmother likes to say, “Zhulong is coming.’
Lord Crimson (C3): amalgamates various divine opinions and fears. He stands as a cautionary figure, symbolizing the concerns of the collective council over the possible dangers that uncontrolled creation and Prana could unleash.
Lucifer aka Luci (C2): friends with Jeffrey, Elvis, Ikart. Mischievous, rebellious, not to be trusted. Extremely beautiful with a hypnotic charm. Constantly working against his friends. Very secretive. He wants his friends to worship him. Many imps, pixies, and angels worship him and serve his evil purposes.
Manjit (C4): Manjit is Achet’s (P’aqo) father, whose presence looms large over P’aqo’s life. Originally from Punjab, Manjit’s sepia-toned memory is that of a traditional Sikh man torn between two lands whose tragic demise set Achet on his path. Manjit was a strict and somewhat traditional Sikh; he diligently followed the teachings of Guru Nanak. Although Manjit has passed away, his influence is deeply felt throughout P’aqo’s journey.
Maria (Cm):
P’aqo (formerly Achet) (C4): P’aqo, the protagonist, is an aged healer whose life has taken him from pre-Partition India to the highlands of Peru. The old man has a keen intellect and mastery of languages and medicine. Born Achet, his life was transformed by tragedy, leading him to leave his life as a healer in the Peruvian Sierra. He wears traditional Andean clothing and a patka (traditional Sikh attire), symbolizing the blend of his origin and current life. A respected and feared figure, he moves between the worlds of physical healing and ritualistic shamanism.
Panea (C2): Pronounce Penny. A fragile and diminutive Guardian Angel who embodies delicacy and strength. Panea inadvertently finds herself in the center of divine controversy. She was the Guardian for Gwen until she was abducted; we don’t hear more about Gwen again until Part 3 Chapter 20. She has piercing blue eyes, and her attire glows very bright.
Panea is Gwen’s guardian angel who is captured by Gabriel and destroyed because she discovers Jehovah’s intent to destroy the world and provides information to Victoria.
Pasa (C4): Pasa, the small black puppy, represents the innocence and unconditional love that P’aqo used to access the Wall. The puppy’s ultimate sacrifice marks a chilling turning point in the chapter and an irony for the man who is supposed to be a healer.
Pixies, Imps, and Sprites: Pixies and sprites are both fairies, but sprites are closer to spirit or insect-like. While pixies are closer to earth elements or nature, they live underground or in stone ruins, which can be helpful to humans.

Tom Snyder (C3): Henry’s late brother, a healer and rebel against the Council. His presence and actions echo throughout the narrative and his legacy influences the chief conflict. Although deceased, his impact and untold contributions to both the Council and the rebellion drive the story forward.
