No Man an Island features a diverse cast of characters across various time periods.  Here is a definitive list, right now a work in progress.

The Ancients

 Raphael:  An archangel in Heaven’s army, overseeing the Seraphim, Raphael has existed since the beginning of Time as a servant of God.  Famous for his friendship with Humanity since the Garden of Eden, Raphael is also known for having defeated the demon Azazel in the desert, a legendary rumble of epic proportions.  He marries a human woman named Hannah before the dawn of history, and together they have a child, the half-angel Mara.

 Michael: The archangel in charge of Heaven’s army, Michael is a serious warrior.  While he plays a minor role in No Man an Island, Raphael has always appreciated his support and brotherhood.
