Manny's friend and main ally. A demon (or as he says, "spirit of the land") with one purpose, desire and reason for living: driving, preferably really ''really'' fast. Also maintaining vehicles (when no driving jobs are available). He lives and works alone in the DoD's basement, unable to fully exercise his gifts, leaving him open to persuasion in matters of technically-prohibited upgrades...

* [[The Alcoholic]]: One taste of alcohol, and he ''leaps'' back off the wagon... and into the casino with all of Manny's money.
* [[The Alcoholic]]
* [[Bear Hug]]: Inevitable when he's twice as tall and twice as wide as anyone else - particularly Manny. But he'll hug 'em all the same.

One of the two villains. Manny's rival in the DoD, the boss's pet on the fast-track to promotion, the hottest salesman with the best clients and all-round smug shade-wearing jackass. He uses Manny's old, much larger and more luxurious office, and seems to find all the good souls that Manny doesn't - in the first chapter landing a nun with a golden ticket when Manny gets an angry old man to send 'freight' (i.e. stuff into a coffin full of packing foam). This is because he's in on the DoD conspiracy.

* [[The Dragon]]
* [[The Dragon]]: He's Hector's most reliable and competent underling.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Manny. He's a salesman in the DoD, even working in Manny's old office, and one can only speculate what would have happened had their situations been reversed.

The other villain, the head of the DoD. He has been stealing tickets from the deserving and selling them to richer, less saintly souls. {{spoiler|Or so he'd have them believe, but the tickets he sells are fake. He keeps the real ones for himself, determined to hoard enough to balance out his numerous and horrific misdeeds in life}}.

* [[Big Bad]]: Pretty much behind every bad happening, directly or indirectly.
* [[Big Bad]]
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Apparently while alive, he was a "very bad boy", and he didn't get any nicer when he died, since he keeps a huge garden of flowers, including a greenhouse, grown from the remains of those he subjected to a [[Fate Worse than Death]] in his rise to power. That the place is beautiful and well-tended somehow makes it more horrifying.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]
* [[Evil Laugh]]: A spine-chilling, chuckling snort that seems to punctuate just about everything he says.
