W.I.T.C.H. (TV series)/Characters

Wilhelmina "Will" Vandom


"And, uh, lightning!"

The Quintessence Guardian, and the main protagonist. She holds the Heart of Kandrakar, which gives the other girls the power to transform into their guardian forms.


 * Badass Normal - In season 1, but in season 2, not anymore since she gets her Quintessence powers. Averted in the comic, where she has those powers from the start.
 * Beware the Nice Ones: In the comic books, after getting mind raped by Phobos, she replied trying to disintegrate him, sparing him at the last moment to invert the  he had pulled
 * To be fair, the Guardians default method of defeating villains in the comic is to go for the kill, unlike the cartoon were they usually just subdue them.
 * Bob Haircut: The only times she's seen with long hair are in possible futures.
 * Book Dumb
 * Breast Expansion (see Most Common Superpower)
 * Brown Eyes
 * Curtains Match the Window: In the animated series. Usually not Red Eyes, Take Warning, but if you hit her Berserk Button enough...
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Fiery Redhead
 * Friend to All Living Things: Her powers give her a strong connection to animals.
 * Technopath: And appliances.
 * The Heroine
 * Lethal Chef: Her mother and Matt are terrified by her attempts at cooking because she's as bad as Akane Tendo in her first attempts. Or maybe worse: Akane never mistook powdered soap and flour...
 * Meaningful Name: Wilhelmina can be interpreted to mean "protector."
 * Will also counts. There's even a villain who claimed that fifth element is willpower!
 * Most Common Superpower: In her human form she's flat as a board and extremely self-conscious about it, as a Guardian she becomes quite busty and more confident
 * Notably averted in the story that showed us an older Will. She was still much less well-endowed and also skinnier than her Guardian forms, which would mean the Guardian forms comes with this as an actual power, it doesn't use an older version of the character.
 * Given some of their comments about their appearance, the Guardian form is fixed from their appearance complexes.
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: It was her call not to tell Elyon that the girls were Guardians and Elyon was the lost princess of Meridian, which ultimately allowed Phobos to manipulate Elyon for half the season after telling her the truth and showing her that her friends had been keeping secrets/lying. Cornelia wasn't quite happy about it.
 * Pettanko
 * Redheaded Hero
 * Refusal of the Call: At first rejects the idea of being a Guardian, but later accepts it.
 * Unkempt Beauty: Her hair is the messiest of the Guardians and her boyfriend doesn't seem to mind in the least. There's a lot of scenes in the comics where Will is shown getting out of bed and her hair is a complete rat's nest... and she looks adorable.
 * Visit by Divorced Dad: In both the series and comic..
 * What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Averted in the comics as her power is Pure Energy, sort of played straight in the show as she has no offensive powers in the first season.
 * Heart Is an Awesome Power: But in the second season she gains Shock and Awe and technopathic skills. Plus, the show Guardians can only transform when Will uses the Heart of Candracar.
 * You Are Grounded: Seems to get this even more than the others, maybe because she's the only child of a single mother.

Irma Lair


The Water Guardian. Known for being the class clown at her school, she and Cornelia have a long-standing rivalry. She is close friends with Hay Lin. Despite displaying some jealousy over his friend Martin's girlfriend (who previously had a crush on her), she was starting a relationship with Joel, Matt's bandmate. Ultimately, she chose neither and is currently dating a new character named Stephen.


 * The Big Girl
 * Blue Eyes
 * Breast Expansion: And she was already the most naturally stacked of all the Guardians!
 * Brutal Honesty: Sometimes in the comic, which lands her in trouble in delicate situations.
 * Candi Milo
 * Charm Person: One of her powers is some kind of mind control.
 * The Chick (sometimes in the comic book)
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Fat Girl: In the comics, or at least the Bonus Material and Tie In Novels thereof, it's occasionally mentioned that she views herself as one since she's not as stick-thin as her friends. However, this is mostly a case of teenage insecurity since she's Hollywood Pudgy at most, and Depending on the Artist not even that. Completely averted in the animated series, where she's consistently depicted as just as slim as the others (if with larger breasts).
 * Genki Girl
 * Jerkass: Has some moments of this in the comics, but always makes up for it.
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Moreso in the cartoon.
 * Making a Splash
 * The Prankster
 * Shorttank
 * Sitcom Arch Nemesis: With Cornelia, whom she calls "Corny."

Taranee Cook


The Fire Guardian, Taranee's hobbies include dancing, math, and photography. She later starts liking Nigel, a former delinquent.


 * Black and Nerdy
 * Black Best Friend: To Will, in particular.
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs: She wears beads in her hair most of the time.
 * Good with Numbers
 * Hartman Hips
 * Meaningful Name: Taranee Cook.
 * Meganekko
 * Overprotective Mom: Has one.
 * Playing with Fire
 * The Smart Girl
 * Telepathy: One of her powers... and the reason why the Guardians don't need telephones to talk between them.
 * Ten-Minute Retirement: In the comic, she gets increasingly frustrated with her life as a Guardian and comes to feel that she's being manipulated and used by the Oracle, and as such she quits the team, stays out of action and refuses to use her powers for several issues (though she still hangs out with the other girls and helps provide cover stories and alibies when needed). Her place on the team is temporarily filled by Orube, a warrior woman from the planet Basiliade, though the Oracle and the other girls make it clear to Taranee that she is welcome back on the team at any time.

Cornelia Hale


The Earth Guardian, Cornelia is from a wealthy family and is easily one of the most popular girls at school. She enjoys figure skating. At first was head-over-heels for Caleb, but later on realized that they were Just Friends. Later, she falls for Peter, Taranee's older brother. Close friend with Will and best frenemy with Irma.


 * Annoying Younger Sibling: Has one in the form of Lillian.
 * Blue Eyes
 * Defrosting Ice Queen: Much more in the show than the comic.
 * Embarrassing Nickname: Irma, please stop calling her "Corny" (in the comic).
 * Green Thumb
 * Hair of Gold
 * Jerk with a Heart of Gold: After the aforementioned defrosting.
 * The Lancer
 * Lovable Alpha Bitch: She uses her "powers" for good, and not just her earth ones...
 * To elaborate, for instance, she once pulled an It's a Costume Party, I Swear on two girls... but it wasn't For the Evulz, but as a punishment because they were picking on her friends and she wanted to put them in their place.
 * Meaningful Name: Her name is the female form of the name "Cornelius," meaning "the horned one" - a reference to her astrological sign, Taurus (which is by extension an Earth sign).
 * There's some rather amusing chibi art of her cosplaying as Taurus, complete with horns.
 * In the New Testament, Cornelius was directed by an angel to seek a man named.
 * Most Common Superpower
 * The Ojou
 * Rapunzel Hair: She has long blond hair in human form, but it grows out so that it almost reaches the floor in Guardian form.
 * Sitcom Arch Nemesis: With Irma.
 * Spoiled Sweet: In the comics.
 * Took a Level in Jerkass: In the show.
 * Valley Girl: Also in the show, at least on the surface.

Hay Lin 250px-Hay_lin_WITCH_8411.jpg
The Air Guardian, Hay Lin is a bit of an airhead. She enjoys art and comic books. Her family manages the Silver Dragon restaurant. She falls in love with Eric Lyndon.


 * Asian Airhead: Subverted. Someone had to say it.
 * The Big Girl (sometimes in the comic book)
 * Blow You Away
 * Catch Phrase: "Yap!", "Spacious!", "Out of this world"
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * The Chick
 * Chinese Girl
 * Genki Girl
 * Girlish Pigtails
 * Full-Name Basis: Lin is actually her family name.
 * She was called Hay Lin Lin in the animated version, though.
 * Otaku
 * Pettanko
 * Rapunzel Hair

 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: She is the only main character that has an animesque hair colour.

Elyon Brown Elyon_Brown_1638.jpg
"Cornelia! Oh, Cornelia, I'm so sorry!"

The ruler of Meridian.


 * Changeling Fantasy
 * Dark Magical Girl (Until she realized that Phobos tricked her, becoming a real Magical Girl)
 * Everything's Better with Princesses
 * Face Heel Turn (Goodbye, "friends"!)
 * Heel Face Turn ("Cornelia! Oh, Cornelia, I'm so sorry!")
 * Easily Forgiven (Particularly in the animated series. Granted, she was suckered into it all, but she was warned by the Guardians several times about it and received several hints, but never caught on until it was too late, yet all the Guardians forgive her immediately afterwards for all the times she tried to blast them.)
 * Then again, this is Prince Phobos we're talking about. And Will's decision not to tell her did result in them being easy to paint as dishonest, as the others pointed out to Will after the fact.
 * More Than Mind Control (In season 1)
 * Plucky Girl
 * Put on a Bus: In the comic, after the Meridan storyline is over. Like Caleb, she makes occasional cameos later on but is mostly gone from the story. Averted in the animated series, in which she remains an important character in the second season (she didn't appear in the "Nerissa" arc of the comic).
 * Reality Warper
 * Unwitting Pawn: Mainly in the animated series.
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl
 * Youngest Child Wins

Caleb
The leader of the rebels, and Cornelia's boyfriend.


 * Ascended Extra: He's a fairly minor, though still significant, character in the comic; in the animated series he's one of the main characters and frequently acts as a sort of Sixth Ranger to the girls.
 * Badass Longcoat
 * Badass Normal
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Dude in Distress
 * Fish Out of Water
 * Good Old Fisticuffs: Usually.
 * Green Eyes: In the TV series.
 * Heroic Bastard: Implied
 * Put on a Bus: In the comic. He's forced to choose between his duty in Meridan and his relationship with Cornelia -- in the end he chooses his duty, leaving Earth and effectively leaving the story (apart from a few cameo appearances later on).
 * There is later on a What Might Have Been special where the Oracle sends Caleb and Cornelia dreams that show what would have happened if he had stayed on Earth, or if she had come with him to Meridan. Both scenarios had unhappy endings.
 * Rebel Leader: Practically his nickname by the girls.
 * Weak but Skilled: Both in the comic and the cartoon. In the comic, he possesses some very slight magic power, yet uses it well. When granted a minor part of the Guardians powers, he was the one to invent the teletransportation ability the girls still use. When using powers he was completely new to, he once easily defeated someone who had Elyon's might backing him... in a single move. In the cartoon, he has no powers beyond being slightly superhuman in athletics and a lot more durable than humans, yet he can tangle with tough foes with just physical skills.

Yan Lin
Hay Lin's grandmother, and previous Guardian of Kandrakar, who first tells the girls of their powers and duties, as well as presenting Will with the Heart of Kandrakar. Acts as The Mentor to the girls in the animated series and to a lesser extent in the comic.


 * Cool Old Lady: Very much so.
 * The Mentor: Much more notably in the animated series, but to some extent in the comic as well.
 * Secret Keeper: In the animated series.
 * Spared by the Adaptation: A strange version; in the comic she dies in the second issue, though her spirit lives on in Kandrakar, where she continues to guide the girls from afar . In the animated series, she is notably younger-looking and remains active in Heatherfield as The Mentor and Secret Keeper for the girls throughout the series.
 * Passing the Torch: To her granddaughter.
 * Retired Badass: And still quite Badass when she needs to be.

Orube
A native of the planet Basiliade who is introduced as the Temporary Replacement for Taranee when she quits the team, and who becomes more of a Sixth Ranger Taranee returns. She does not appear in the animated series, largely because the story arch that introduced her was never adapted.


 * Action Girl: A trained warrior from a warrior culture, she embraces this trope sometimes to the exclusion of everything else.
 * Badass Normal: She has no elemental powers, but she is a lethal and competent fighter.
 * Bob Haircut
 * Catgirl: Her father is one of the straight-up cat people of Basiliade and she retains enough feline characteristics to warrant a Glamour to pass as human when in Heatherfield.
 * Defrosting Ice Queen: Starts out as extremely haughty and dismissive of the other girls, viewing them as pathetic children lacking the warrior instinct, but over time she loosens up and becomes a lot more friendly, to the point of becoming somewhat if a Cool Big Sis figure.
 * Does Not Like Shoes
 * Fish Out of Water: She's sophisticated enough to realize that tv sets are machines, not magic, but she still needed to be explained that romantic melodrama movies aren't Real Life.
 * Lethal Chef: sort of. Nobody ever ate an Earth dish prepared by her because she will either flood the kitchen or burn whatever she's cooking, even the pasta.
 * Mukokuseki: Probably some kind of Asian, but no one's really sure. Then again, she's not even from Earth.
 * Proud Warrior Race Girl: Basiliadians, both male and female, are trained in martial arts from an early age, and Orube is one of the best warriors. Unfortunately, her mental training hasn't been quite as effective, and she still sometimes has problems controlling her temper.
 * Put on a Bus:
 * Sixth Ranger

Blunk loklo_1195.jpg
A "passling" (a smelly, goblin-like creature with the uncanny ability to sniff out portals between worlds) native to Meritian. He's a smuggler by trade, though he prefers being called a "trader" or "businessman."

""Blunk not scavenger -- Blunk warrior!""
 * Canon Foreigner: He's original to the cartoon.
 * Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Usually he's not much use in a fight, but he's surprisingly resourceful when he needs to be, and on occasion even gets a genuine Badass moment.


 * Hulk Speak
 * The Nicknamer: Irma is "Funny Girl", Taranee is "Brainy Girl", Cornelia is "Blondie Girl", Hay Lin is "Smiley Girl", and Caleb is usually referred to as "Best Friend Caleb".
 * Non-Human Sidekick
 * Our Goblins Are Different: They are called Passlings, and they travel through the dimensions looking for goods to sell.
 * The Pig Pen: Has traces of this; he hates taking baths and is never happier than when collecting garbage.
 * Plucky Comic Relief
 * Small Annoying Creature: The only one who doesn't find him annoying seems to be Hay Lin.
 * Steve Blum: Yes.
 * Third Person Person
 * Team Pet: Kind of.
 * Vitriolic Best Buds: Has this dynamic with Caleb for a while (type 1), but Caleb warms to him over the course of the series.

The Oracle
The Big Good of the series and the head of the Council of Kandrakar. He is patient and understanding (to a point), he has great powers and great wisdom, and he is genuinely concerned with the well-being of all -- though, as he is sometimes painfully aware of, he is not as infallible as several of the characters seem to think he is.


 * Bald of Awesome
 * Demoted to Extra: In the animated series, he has a much smaller role and doesn't even meet the Guardians face-to-face until the second season, probably because Yan Lin is at hand to be the one who explains things.
 * Deus Ex Machina: He has on occasion taken on this role in the comic, though usually unbeknownst to the Guardians. At one point he even Lampshades this.
 * Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": For much of the comic and all of the animated series, he is only known as "the Oracle."
 * Mr. Exposition: Sometimes.
 * Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Mostly applies to the comic. While you can usually rely on him to make the right choice, he has had some moments where he made some really bad judgements and made the situation worse.
 * Psychic Powers: His most commonly-used powers fall under this definition:
 * As fits his title, he has a form of Precognition and can at times come across as The Omniscient, though it does turn out that he's not infallible in this respect.
 * He's able to use Telepathy to speak to others, communicate with them through their dreams or even share information.
 * On a couple of occasions he has forced Laser-Guided Amnesia on Muggles who threaten the Guardians, making him a sort of one-man Memory-Wiping Crew.
 * He can sense emotions and states of minds in others; sometimes this physically affects him as well.
 * Reasonable Authority Figure: Most of the time. Sometimes he forgets what it's like for normal people and can as a result come across as needlessly harsh or unreasonable, but he genuinely tries to avoid this.
 * Ten-Minute Retirement: In the comics, thanks to, he has his title as Oracle renounced by the council and spends some time as a Badass Normal before being reinstated.
 * Ten-Minute Retirement: In the comics, thanks to, he has his title as Oracle renounced by the council and spends some time as a Badass Normal before being reinstated.

Matthew "Matt" Olsen/Shagon
Will's boyfriend, as well as a would-be musician.


 * Benevolent Boss: Even as Shagon, he visibly cares for his teammates and doesn’t hesitate to rush in to their aid
 * Brainwashed and Crazy (season 2, where he becomes Nerissa's Dragon and assumes the identity of Shagon.
 * Cincinnatus: For Lilian, he's her regent up until she's old enougth to have a grasp of her powers.
 * Composite Character: Shagon was a hapless man completely unrelated to Matt in the comics.
 * Fighting From the Inside (To free himself from Nerissa, Matt has to battle Shagon in his own mind. Not only does he win, but he takes Shagon's powers for his own.)
 * Guile Hero
 * Idol Singer (Has his own music band)
 * James Bondage
 * The Power of Rock (His "right weapon" against Shagon)
 * Secret Keeper and Understanding Boyfriend: Once he learns about the Guardians, he takes it remarkably well.
 * Retconnected in the comic..
 * Teach Me How to Fight: Asks this of Caleb
 * The Power of Hate: What initially made Shagon strong. The more you hate him, the stronger he gets.

Vathek
Caleb's second-in-command, a native of Meridian.


 * The Atoner: In the comic, he starts out as a bad guy but eventually gets a Heel Face Turn -- after which Caleb trusts him enough to make him his Lancer. In the Elyon one-shot comic, he and Elyon encounter a group of people who still remember and hate Vathek for his villainous days, and despite Elyon's protests, Vathek willingly lets them put him on trial because he feels they are justified in their hatred of him.
 * Boisterous Bruiser
 * The Brute: Is set up as one in the comic, but this is Deconstructed fairly quickly as his Hidden Depths begin showing.
 * Demoted to Extra: While never a main character, he is nevertheless a much more important character in the comic. In the animated series he's far less so, but does get the occasional Day in The Limelight.
 * Epic Flail
 * Gentle Giant: Especially in later stories.
 * Heel Face Turn: In the animated series, he was The Mole and on the side of the good guys all along. In the comic, he was originally Cedric's loyal Brute who was sent to the resistance as a Mole but ended up getting sympathy for their cause (as well as taking some words Will had said to heart) and genuinely changed sides.
 * Our Orcs Are Different: Like most Meridian natives, he has an orcish appearance. In the comic, he explains to Elyon that the orcish-looking Meridians call themselves the "Galhot" and are the original natives of Meridan. The more human-looking Meridians are called "Escanors" and are actually descended from humans who came to Meridian many generations ago.

Phobos
The evil prince of Meridian. He rules the planet with an iron fist, and wants to steal his sister Elyon's magic to add to his own in order to make his power complete. Main villain of the first season, and a major one in the second.He is the most Recurring Villain


 * Aloof Big Brother: To Elyon.
 * Beard of Evil
 * Big Bad (season 1, and a secondary Big Bad in season 2)The most appearing Big Bad
 * Deadpan Snarker
 * Enemy Mine: With the good guys against Nerissa in the second season.
 * Evil Overlord
 * Sorcerous Overlord: He's not as powerful as Elyon, but all Meridian royalty are implied to have very potent magical powers, and he's still stronger than all the season 1 Guardians combined.
 * The Evil Prince
 * Kick the Dog: Let's see...He abducts and tortures Will, slowly leaches life away from his homeworld, manipulates poor Elyon for a long time whiole plotting to ... Counting it all would make one hell of a drinking game.
 * Kick the Son of a Bitch: Does this to Nerissa and Miranda.
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Obviously Evil: While not quite a full on Card-Carrying Villain, he's pretty close, never attempting to disguise his regime as anything but the oppresive dictatorship it is- unless Elyon's around.
 * Orcus on His Throne: Phobos rarely does anything for himself- at least, anything that he can't do from the comfort of his home. Heck, Will and Cedric are the only two he even exchanges a single line of dialogue with until episode 26
 * Psychotic Smirk
 * Sealed Evil in a Can: His position for most of season 2.
 * Slasher Smile
 * Smug Snake: He's very clever, and is not as smug a snake as Cedric, but his overconfidence always gets him in the end.
 * The Sociopath
 * Token Evil Teammate Briefly in Season 2.
 * Bishonen: and White-Haired Pretty Boy

Cedric
Phobos' right-hand man. He transforms into a giant snake creature.


 * Dee Bradley Baker
 * The Dragon
 * How Do I Shot Web?:
 * : In comic.
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Minion Shipping (with )
 * Leads to quite a bit of Squick when you realize Miranda's real form really is her human child form, while Cedric is implied to be Older Than He Looks and has his monster form as his actual form. Pedophilia and Bestiality in one neat packet.
 * Scaled Up
 * Smug Snake (Literally!)
 * Snake People (in his true form)
 * Snake Talk: Mildly in human form; much more pronounced in Scaled Up form.
 * Snake People (in his true form)
 * Snake Talk: Mildly in human form; much more pronounced in Scaled Up form.

Miranda
A creepy girl who is also a Beast- the same sort of magical creature as Cedric. Like him, she's one of Phobos's top minions.


 * Affably Evil: Very. Even when she's plotting ways to torture or injure people she's all smiles.
 * Bastard Understudy
 * Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Something she is VERY good at. As mentioned below, Will was completely taken in by her nice girl persona at first, and Elyon was even more so (at least up until Miranda revealed her true nature).
 * Canon Foreigner: She's exclusive to the TV Series
 * Creepy Child
 * Dark Chick
 * Irony: Is ultimately taken down by her former squad mate Sandpit (the very one she worked with on Earth in episode 3)
 * Giant Spider (in her beast form)
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Is voiced by Grey De Lisle aka Azula and Mandy
 * Manipulative Bastard: Probably her deadliest talent; when she was masquerading on Earth the only reason the Guardians saw through her was because they already found out about her attempts to frame them (Will met her before this happened and she was taken in completely). Even after she's captured she's able to worm her way out of prison by offering to lead Caleb to some captives (Which she uses to permanently escape prison.) And this is AFTER everyone knows her true nature.
 * One-Winged Angel: Her spider form to a degree. Miranda's human form is her actual form and she needs to consciously maintain her Spider form(any time she is knocked out, she reverts). Cedric on the other hand, defaults to his beast form and does not revert when rendered unconscious. So while the two have similar abilities, they are clearly not the same type of shapeshifter.
 * Pragmatic Villainy: Advocates a quick execution for Caleb and his friends.
 * The Sociopath: "Clipping their wings isn't nearly as effective as breaking their spirits." She also takes delight in revealing her true nature to Elyon
 * Uncanny Valley Girl: And holy shit HOW.
 * The Sociopath: "Clipping their wings isn't nearly as effective as breaking their spirits." She also takes delight in revealing her true nature to Elyon
 * Uncanny Valley Girl: And holy shit HOW.

Nerissa
The former Quintessence Guardian. She attempts to rule the world by defeating Phobos and the Guardians.


 * Anti-Villain: Subverted; much like Demona (another Greg Weisman villain), she likes to think she's a Type III, but the other characters aren't buying it.
 * Big Bad: Of Season 2.
 * The Chessmaster: Easily the best in the whole show.
 * Dangerously Genre Savvy: She could give Azula a run for her money in exactly predicting heroes' movements.
 * Evil Old Folks: In her aged form.
 * Evil Sorceress
 * Fallen Hero
 * Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!
 * Kath Soucie
 * Luke, I Am Your Father
 * Manipulative Bastard
 * Tragic Villain
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist: She wants to create a peaceful and ordered universe- and because she's a megalomaniac, she sees conquering the whole thing as the best way to do this.

Raythor
One of Phobos's commanders, who is later manipulated by Nerissa into forming the Knights of Vengeance. Is an honorable man, despite his allegiance.


 * Anti-Villain: Big-time Type I.
 * Avenging the Villain
 * Badass Normal
 * The Dragon: To Nerissa during the first half of the second season.
 * Dragon with an Agenda: He cares a lot more about avenging Phobos and/or restoring his throne than he does about helping Nerissa.
 * Noble Demon
 * Noble Demon

Frost the Hunter
An ogre-like hunter who works for Phobos. He was undefeated in battle until defeated by W.I.T.C.H. and joins the Knights of Vengeance in the second season. He rides a giant rhinoceros creature named Crimson. He forms a rivalry with Raythor, but this vanishes several episodes on and they become respected allies. At the end of the series, he is the only minion of Phobos who remains loyal, the others either dead or turned traitor.


 * Avenging the Villain
 * Blond Guys Are Evil
 * Bounty Hunter
 * Dirty Coward: He seems to gain this trope seconds after . Frost suddenly becomes loyal to Cedric, despite being previously loyal to Phobos.
 * The Brute: Shared with Gargoyle and somewhat Sandpit.
 * Rhino Rampage
 * The Rival: With Raythor for several episodes.
 * The Voiceless: Did not speak in his first appearance, but gained a voice in Season 2.

The Tracker
A demonic-looking skeletal man, the Tracker is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. A feared tracker and hunter hired by Phobos, the Tracker becomes a recurring villain and joins the Knights of Vengeance, although while the other members were loyal to Phobos, the Tracker joined to get revenge on the rebels he once chased. He is aided by a scary dog named Sniffer, who can track down any scent. The Tracker fights with a glowing chained flail and bat-like creatures.


 * Bat Out of Hell
 * Epic Flail
 * Evil-Detecting Dog: Sniffer.
 * Glowing Eyelights of Un-Death
 * The Grim Reaper: Close enough to it.
 * Implacable Man: He can be slowed down, but once the Sniffer has the scent he's next to impossible to stop.
 * Scarily Competent Tracker
 * They Have the Scent
 * The Voiceless: Zig-zagged. He's silent in his debut appearance, fairly talky in his second, and silent again from then out.
 * The Voiceless: Zig-zagged. He's silent in his debut appearance, fairly talky in his second, and silent again from then out.

We
A small, furry creature from the world of Basiliade with strange powers, he followed the Oracle home to Kandrakar and refused to go back home. He was eventually placed in the care of Orube, and became somewhat of a Team Pet to the girls. He doesn't appear in the animated series.


 * Funny Background Event: He usually doesn't do much in the actual stories, but provides plenty of these.
 * Invisibility: His main power; he can turn invisible at will -- except for his tail.
 * Ridiculously Cute Critter: And how.
 * Series Mascot: Though he doesn't appear until issue #49 of the comic, he quickly gets this status.
 * Team Pet: In a much more literal sense than Blunk.
 * The Unintelligible: At first; in later comics he begins to communicate in a combination of Hulk Speak and Baby Talk.

Peter Cook
Taranee's older brother.


 * Meaningful Name: Peter actually means stone.
 * In the New Testament, Cornelius was directed by an angel to seek a man named Peter.
 * Nice Guy
 * Second Love:
