Character List

JESSE LIBÉLULA
Human Resurrected by Phobos, King of Fear after his death was too painful for Phobos to handle. Known for his spunk and bravery, he is either very much loved or very much hated by all.

PHOBOS
He is the King of Fear, and the youngest of the Demon Children. He is also the most powerful however. Known also as Luke, he identifies more closely with Greece. Nasty habit of falling in love with humans.

Greed Specialist of Wealth. Named after the King of Troy, he seeks only situations which will benefit him and thinks of no one else. Because of this, he is unreliable in war

Emery
Greed Specialist of Power. He was taught closely by Hamilton, but betrayed him when Plutus offered him greater rewards. He was disappointed, but did not dare switch sides again.
