Angela Maria Fiore Katt: Kitty’s mother. Only non-Jew, non-Israeli member of Mossad. Retired from Mossad and became the Head of the P.T.C.U (Presidential Terrorism Control Unit). Kitty believes that her mother is a consultant, but doesn’t realize that she consults on counter-terrorism matters to large corporations.

The Alpha Centaurions
Jeffrey “Jeff” Stuart Martini: Nephew of Richard and Terry White. Cousin of Christopher. Over six feet tall, big and broad. Light brown eyes, dark wavy hair. Handsome. Approximately thirty years old. Lots of sisters. Strongest Empath on Earth. His talent manifested almost at birth, so he was sent to live with his aunt and uncle at a very young age. Head of Field Operations.
Christopher White: Approximately thirty years old. Son of Richard and Terry White. Cousin of Jeff Martini. Head of Imageering. Probably the most powerful Imageer on Earth. Around 5’10”. Straight brown hair. Green eyes. Slender, but clearly muscled. Handsome, of course. Only child. Prone to glaring.
Richard White: Sovereign Pontifex of the A-Cs on Earth. Christopher’s father. Terry White’s husband. Jeff Martini’s uncle. Son of Ronald Yates. Took Terry’s death very hard and hasn’t remarried. Must approve potential recruits before they’re allowed to know who the Alpha Centaurions are. Doesn’t have a talent.
Teresa “Terry” White: Sovereign Pontifex Richard White’s wife. Christopher White’s mother. Jeff Martini’s aunt. Before her mysterious death about twenty years ago, Terry White was the Head Diplomat for the Alpha Centaurions on Earth. She was also a strong empath (a rare talent for an A-C female). Programmed a “glowing cube” to help Jeff and Christopher grow stronger in their talents. Implanted a command/memory in Jeff to “find the human girl whose fear and hatred of evil giver her courage. You’re looking for a protector, Jeff. Someone who can put her own safety aside to protect people she doesn’t even know.”
Claudia Balducci: About Kitty’s age. Long, flowing brown hair and big, brown eyes. Works on the Exoskeleton Team, trying to figure out how super-beings manifest without killing the human host. Later joins Kitty’s Airborne Division as a Field Agent. Emily’s daughter.

Ronald Yates: AKA Ronaldo Al Dejahl. Believed to be human, and one of the richest men in the world. Made is fortune in the porn industry, went legitimate by becoming the head of one of the largest media empires. Likes his women young. In his seventies, but looks like he’s in his nineties. Dying of an unspecified cancer that went into remission twenty years ago when he was joined by the parasitic Mephistopheles. Ronald Yates was the former Sovereign Pontifex before the A-Cs left their home world. Fanatical about his religion and the purity of his people, he was convicted of treason and sentenced to life on Earth before the rest of the A-Cs left. His talent is a combination of Imageer and Empath.
Beverly: Head of the Translation Team that is working on the text that the Ancients brought to help younger civilizations protect themselves from the parasitic super-beings. Is such a boring speaker that she nearly puts Kitty asleep during a briefing session (does put Lorraine and Claudia asleep). Is Ronald Yates’ lover. Betrays the A-Cs to the Al Dejahl terrorist organization. Killed by Kitty with a baseball bat when Beverly threatens to kill Jeff and Christopher on Yates’ orders.
Lissa: Dated both Jeff and Christopher, but preferred Christopher. On her last date with Jeff, she was killed by Earwig on Mephistopheles’ orders.
The A-C/Human Hybrid
Paul Gower: Cousin to Jeff and Christopher. In a relationship with James Reader. Head of Recruitment. Big, bald, handsome with skin “the kind of black that looks almost ebony.” His mother is an African-American human, and his father is an A-C. His talent is Dream Reading
The Fuglies
Mephistopheles: Alter-ego of Ronald Yates. Both have similar plans, although Ronald Yates wants to destroy Earth, while Mephistopheles wants to rule it and change it “in his own image.” Super-being in command of all other super-beings. Easily twelve feet tall (but may be able to get even taller). Resembles a huge faun, with a goat body for the lower half and a human torso and head. Human arms, but his fingers end in claws. Huge blood red bat wings. Blood red curly hair covering his lower body. Curling horns come out of his forehead. Tried to “impregnate” Terry White twenty years ago. Wants Jeff and Christopher dead because he sees them as impediments to his overall plan and knows that if they have children, especially with a human, their children could potentially be even more powerful. Has chosen Kitty to be his “next vessel.” His parasite hid behind his tonsils. Vulnerable to alcohol. Killed when Jeff bats a “ball” of a self-contained nuke and Everclear alcohol into his mouth. Angela shoots the parasite before it can drop on Kitty, Claudia or Lorraine.
Earwig: Twelve feet plus. Huge ears that drape down the side of its head and touched the ground. Green and scaly and looked like a really bad cross between a dinosaur and a caveman. Had clawed hands. His parasite hid in one of its ear canals. Killed by Kitty when she shot the parasite.
The Pachyderm: Had six huge feet. It had a pinkish purple body and grotesquely rotund while it’s head a like an elephant’s but with no tusks or trunk. Had fangs with a human-ish face. Killed by the poison of the Serpent’s bite.
The Serpent: Giant black snake with a caricature of a human face shoved onto the snake head. Killed by boiling water.
Killer: Giant stick bug with extra sticks. Shoots poison from the end of every limb. Killed by a combination of James driving an Humvee repeatedly into it, and bullets fired from a jet.
The Slug: Looks like a giant slug. Killed by ocean (salt) water and dry salt dropped on it by pilots.
