Benvolio Rondinelli: Henchman and companion of Drago Martines, Benvolio is also employed at Vinnie Milton's Bar in Greenpoint, Brooklyn with his girlfriend Mrytille L'orune, where he works as a bartender. He is a genuine person with a care-taker complex, simply meaning that he is so very loyal to people that he loves that has practically dedicated his entire life to their well-being. For this reason, he is well loved by Annette as a second brother and gratefully appreciated by Drago for the care that he has taken of the both of them in their times of need. Benvolio is 6 feet tall with dark hair and eyes.(Created by the First Fearless Leader-Amy- half)

Brian Grygo: Son of Doctor William Grygo, Brian is a handsome young lad that is Natalia's boyfriend and a loyal member of the church. He is 5'10" with sandy brown hair and hazel eyes. Being that his father is a doctor, he is considering a career in that field. His father often has him help with different medical things to help him prepare for such a career. His demeanor is almost always calm and collected, and he can be described as an all around pleasant person. He spends a lot of his time at the lodging house to keep Natalia sane. (Created by the Second Fearless Leader- Rachel- half)

Brother Steven: One of the few remaining brothers at the church, he tends to the gardens at the church and the lodging houses. He is 6'1" with messy, curly black hair and dark brown eyes.

Doctor William Grygo:A loyal member of the church, he is also deemed the top doctor in Queens. He takes care of the medical needs that come up at the house not just because he is affiliated with the church, but also because his son, Brian, is Natalia's boyfriend. (Created by Both Fearless Leaders- Rachel and Amy- whole)

Drago Martines: Annette's overprotective older brother, Drago is a member and assassin of a large international gang known as the Black Guard. He spoils his baby sister by buying her jewelry and clothes as often as he can with the money he makes from his work. He also tends to patrol around the city so he is often gone for weeks at a time. Another establishment to his credit around the house is his relationship with Bryn Wolfe, who has also taken great pains to take care. Being extraordinarily family-oriented and protective, his life seems to be a strange mix of polar opposites, almost as though he is two different people at times. He isn't terribly tall, about 5'11", but he has deep dark eyes and hair and he is known for his brilliant criminal brain. (Created by the First Fearless Leader-Amy- half)

Father Samuel Huffman: Priest at St. Martin's a proprietor of the two lodging house, Father Samuel has taken great care of the lodgers and tries to make their lives go as smoothly as he possibly can. He doesn't come visit the two house very often for he is often busy at the church, but he does work hard to see that the lodgers can be provided for and that they are happy. Father Samuel is a tiny, thin, slightly intellectual looking man, with a somewhat odd sense of humour, and dark hair and eyes. (Created by Both Fearless Leaders- Rachel and Amy- whole)

Jacob Wolfe: The twenty-three year old brother of Bryn, he is a lazy, uncouth young man who only cares about himself. His general demeanor is dark, as are his features, having chocolate brown eyes and black hair. He had never worked a day in his life until Bryn left Chicago, which obviously made him even more angered with her than he had been before. As the person who forced her into a brothel he was the most effected, other than her, by her sudden disappearance. He is a rather violent person and would give almost anything to find her and get his revenge. On her eighteenth birthday, he and a few friends of his came and kidnaped her, enjoying the pleasures of her company for a short while they had her in custody. Was, however, shot to death at the conclusion of the kidnaping, when Samuel and Drago came and took Bryn back. (Created by the Second Fearless Leader- Rachel- half)

Jesse Fuentez: Brother to both Isabella and Teressa Fuentez, he is a hefty gambler and a cheat at that. Will do anything to win but has lost more times than most can count or would like too. Skipped town after a bad run in with a few people and left his debts for his sisters to pay. (Created by Cahill)

John Herzig: Owner of the Candy Kitchen, a pharmacy across the street from the girls' house in Astoria Park, John is a short tempered, but good natured old man.Although the combination may seem odd, it works for him. Loitering around the pharmacy is extremely discouraged, but if one where to purchase a few phosphates they would quick find a way into his good graces, which a good place to be if one would like to request a specific flavour of ice cream. (Created by Both Fearless Leaders- Rachel and Amy- whole)

Larry Wilson: Owner of Karyatis Restaurant, Larry is Miroslav’s employer. This middle-aged man is a rather easy-going fellow. He has his days when he’s in a temper, but for the most part he is a happy guy. He is lenient when it comes to the hours that Miroslav has to work; for instance, if an emergency were to come up, he would not hesitate to tell him to go away and take care of it. He truly cares about his employees, and wants the best for them and to keep them happy. If he has to, he will take care of the problem for them, if it is within his power. (Created by the Second Fearless Leader- Rachel- half)

Marcus Rooney: One of Jacob Wolfe’s friends who loved to spend time tormenting Bryn in some way in years past. He is a twenty-four years old, muscular young man who was one of the first to take advantage of the situation Bryn was in when she was still in Chicago. His demeanor is not fierce, and he does not appear intimidating in any sense other than his build. He has a somewhat delicate looking face, with fair skin, pale blue eyes, and light blonde hair. Usually he has a smirk on his face, but by no means does that mean he is a good-natured person. He is one of the few people Bryn fears most. He was also part of the kidnaping plot that happened on Bryn's birthday and, like Jacob Wolfe, shot to death at the conclusion of it.(Created by the Second Fearless Leader- Rachel- half)

Samuel Morrison: Bryn’s best friend from Chicago, he was the one who kept her semi-sane during the reign of her brother. He is a year older than her, and he has shaggy brown hair and brown eyes. He tracked her down when she went missing after her parents died, and in the end he was the one who helped her leave. He is a passionate young man all out on his own, but he manages to get by in life. His only family still living is his father and his older brother, but they are both drunkards which is the reason he had no problem leaving them to find Bryn. He keeps in contact with her by writing letters. He was severely beaten by Jacob Wolfe and his group of cronies, basically almost to death, but then after he recovered enough to leave the hospital he came to New York because he had heard Jacob plotting to go find his sister. He helped Drago rescue her and was a groomsman in their wedding, and is still in New York.. (Created by the Second Fearless Leader- Rachel- half)

(Created by Both Fearless Leaders- Rachel and Amy- whole)

Tino Tonitini: One of Drago's henchman, he is the one employed to watch over Annette when Drago is on patrol. This situation terrifies her for various reasons. Tino is rather tall (6'5") and extremely muscular with a quick temper: definately not someone you'd want to meet in a dark alley. When he's in a good mood, Tino is funny and loves to joke around. When he's in a bad mood, Tino is somewhat scary. He also takes personal offense to any insult directed at someone of Mediterranean descent, and is well known among certain circles for his talent with the blade in his specific profession. (Created by the First Fearless Leader-Amy- half)

Trevor (Tracker) McDuff: Boyfriend of Juliet O’Ceile, this nineteen-year-old is a genuine sweetheart and gentleman. He originally hailed from Cork, Ireland, but had more recently made his home in Bay Ridge before relocating to Astoria. He has rust colored hair and slate green eyes, standing at 5'10" with a well built frame. He lives in a semi-depressed state, but is always in a much better mood when around Juliet. Residing in an apartment not that far away from the houses, he visits her as often as he can and as often as his job allows him. (Created by the Second Fearless Leader- Rachel- half)

Veruchka Dmitriev: The four-year-old sister of Miroslav and Natalia, Veruchka lives at the Orphanage down the street from the church. She is an adorable little girl with wide blue eyes and wispy brown hair. She is always being visited by her brother and sister, which keeps her happy all the time. Her siblings can be a little overprotective of her at times, especially Miroslav, but they know she is in good hands at the orphanage. (Created by the Second Fearless Leader- Rachel- half)
