Tanner Williams
A rich playboy who has a fascination with flying balloons even though he has a habit of crashing into the bridge over the local gorge. Tanner thinks of himself as a guardian of Serton but has a secret that he is unwilling to share with anyone. While normally very happy and jovial Tanner does have a dark and sometimes violent side which shows through occasionally.

Shane Carter
New to town, Shane regards himself as a hunter of evil. He has tracked demons and evil men all over America. He has been drawn to Serton because he senses that there is evil in the town. Shane is quite a modern boy and decides to help out Tanner upon his arrival. Shane is very dedicated to his job and is used to working on his own.

Susan Forrester
Working as the town’s midwife has brought her into contact with quite a few people in town but Susan is a loner. Susan’s grandmother hinted to her when she was younger that she had the power to see briefly into the future. Susan discovers this talent herself just as a new evil arises in town although she is unable to control or use her power to make it really useful.

Leonard McGuigan

Mary-Anne Mcguigan

Alexander Duprie
Owning most of the land for the town has left Alexander very rich. He enjoys a comfortable lifestyle with his wife Jennifer. Alexander is good friends with Leonard and the pair enjoy each others company. Alexander is a little out of his time as he still has servants which are of colour but he refuses to modernise since this is the lifestyle to which he has grown accustomed to.

Jennifer Duprie
Alexander’s wife, Jennifer enjoys the benefits that a rich lifestyle has brought her. She comes across as haughty and rude to people who have less than her. She speaks regularly to Mary-Anne, Leonard’s wife, although that may be more to please her husband than anything else.
