Demane
He is the main protagonist who quits his job to escort his secret lover on a mission through the Wildeeps. He is the secret lover of Captain Isa. He is a demi-God and therefore has supernatural powers. He can detect lies, heal people, and has a great sense of smell. He is referred to as the sorcerer, a name that he hates so much. He wears his affection for Isa on his sleeve and therefore gets agitated that they cannot show their love publicly. He kills Isa by mistake although Isa wanted to be killed by him. His powerful scent of smell was very essential in detecting the tiger and getting ready to defend themselves.
Captain Issa
He is a professional mercenary who is hired by the caravan brothers to protect them on their way to the city of Olorum. He has been described as a beautiful man with a beautiful voice that can only sing. He is super conscious of exposing his hair so he is seen fixing his head scarf all the time. He is in charge of training the caravan band members and he does so tirelessly and with discipline. He is seen to have a troubled past and is often seeking his death. In addition to all that he is also Demane’s secret lover and possesses superpowers as he is of demi gods’ descendant. There are assumptions that he might be over 700 years although he shows no features that can easily help tell his age. He is also very strong which is why he is hired as security by the caravan brothers. He intentionally lets Isa kill him as he does not dodge while they are training.
