Helena is Carly's Watcher, sent by the Council to see to her training. Though often reluctant to discuss her past, she's an intelligent and charming woman who seems to maintain a good attitude even in the face of her charge's constant rebellion.
He once dreamed of playing for the Mets, but now Carly's brother Dean spends his time helping his little sister and her friends fight vampires, demons, and other denizens of the dark. Dean was strictly a minor league member of the team though, until he met Zaehzu.
This soft-spoken man was once a priest, but that was many years ago, before some of the ancient texts he had been studying set him on a different path. Marcel now works with the Slayer, using his vast store of knowledge and his sorcerous powers to help in the fight against evil.
There are only two things in Therese's world... the demons and the blade. She has been fighting for as long as she can remember, and she has more than her share of scars, but it's the only life she knows. Hooking up with the Slayer's gang has given her something she's never had before, and that's allies in the fight against Evil. She intends to make the most of the situation.
Andy Chen was sent by his father to aid the Slayer. A criminal with ties to one of the most powerful Chinese triads operating in the United States, he is most likely guilty of fraud, drug trafficking, assault and even murder. Andy is not, however, a friend of the demons. As he likes to say, they just aren't good for business.
There comes a time in every woman's life when she needs to question just what the hell she's doing. For Special Agent Katherine Hargrow, that time came last year, when the Slayer saved her from a gang of vamps. It was then that she went from being a dedicated agent of the government to being a warrior in the fight against the Dark.
The Lord works in mysterious ways. How else can Gabriel explain why he has stood side-by-side in battle with a fallen priest, a motley assortment of rogues, and one of the very hellspawn he has dedicated his life to destroying? But then, no one ever said that being a Knight of the Cross was easy.
It wishes that the universe had less of a sense of irony. Maybe then Zaehzu would not have found itself bound to follow the commands of the brother of the Slayer. Still, it must admit that the experience has definitely been as interesting as anything else it had seen in the long centuries of its existence.
