Higant is a young boy, just 11 summers old, who serves as a squire. His friend Marcus is ever by his side, and the two are inseparable companions in their many adventures.

Fanton, once simply known as a petty pickpocket, had evolved significantly since his first fateful meeting with Crimson. She had expertly transformed him from a mere orphan thieving to survive into a valued colleague, bringing him into her inner circle and guiding him towards a newfound sense of purpose and identity.
