Author's note; I realise that this book has many more characters than other books and as there are so many personalities, it may get a bit confusing. So I've complied a list of characters so far. I can't say this list won't get bigger in the future as there are some nameless characters that have been mentioned along the way as well as the army officer who hasn't made it to the list!
