The Maze Beset Trilogy has a large cast of characters. Most of them are periphery, but a lot of names get thrown around. In my head, it’s really easy to keep them all straight. For everyone else… Well. I present a full listing of all 35 of the superpowered people in the trilogy. If you haven’t read the first book yet, this list contains spoilers of a sort, a lot of them. Some of this information may be spoiler-worthy before reading the second book, as well.
All non-white characters have their ethnicity noted. Characters are arranged according to which book they make their first actual appearance in.
