The Supporting Cast, or Non-Player Characters (NPCs)
There have always been those willing to stand between the world
of man and the world of the Unkown. Today, there is but
one such entity, The Society. Their brave membership skulks
about in society's shadows, trying to save it from its own ignorance
of the Unknown.
Many others acknowledge the Unknown and wish to help in the
fight, but are not suited to be Agents. Such people support
The Society by providing resources.
On the other hand, there are some figures among the Unknown
that present a significant and/or recurring threat.

- Fish, Little - An exceptionally capable hacker that Agent
Benedict “Bic” Raker has made contact with. She provided
information that led the team to the Wichita Falls cell of
SAVE where Agent Simms was operating.
- Foster, William - Neighbor of Frank Masterson. A man with
an unnatural thirst for power. Daniel promised him the power
he craved, but left out the details about making William a
Lesser Zombie Master (LZM).
- Foster, Marlene - Wife of William Foster. William murdered
with a chainsaw at the behest of Daniel.
- Fulton, Chuck - Security guard at Frank’s Equipment; killed
by Zombies 0125 10JUN2000 (F)
- Ghost, The - Owner of The Naked Truth, a conspiracy web
site that listed some information about Men In Black which
related to some SAVE activities.
- Higgins, Bill - Chief of McKinney Police
- Landers, Seth - Man at Professor Mallin’s house when Agent
John Brockway investigated it on Mission 4.
- Langford, “Agent” - CIA agent friend of Frank Masterson
- Longwalker, Andrew - Society agent: healer
- Masterson, Frank - Owner of Frank’s Equipment; leader of
a group of white magicians.
- Mathers, Joey - A child turned into a Vampire. The team
neutralized him on Mission 2. The cause of the child’s transformation
is uncertain. Current speculation is that a suspected Creature,
known only as Mr. Pale, may have been the causative agent.
There have been comments that the Creature being referred
to as Daniel Masterson may have been involved in some way.
- Mathers, Joe - Father of Joey Mathers.
- Maynard, Daryl - Friend of agent Jeremy “Bud” Johnson.
He lives in McKinney and works in construction. He is an
avid hunter and fisherman.
- McCormick, Susan - Supervisor of ER. Only Bud was told
her name and it was during his memory lapse, so technically
no one has this name anymore.
- Morrison, Jim - Police Officer; servant of Daniel. Works
night shift. Discovered Bic’s gun. Resolved zombie attack
on Frank’s Equipment.
- Noble, Billy - ER attendant when Bud was treated after “attack.”
- Pendergrass, Steven - Head of Society’s Plano Safehouse.
- Peters, Hank - Police Officer; servant of Daniel.
- Peters, “Nurse” - Male nurse on duty in McKinney ER when
Bud was treated for injuries during Mission 1. Bud’s memory
lapse includes all of his interactions with this person, so
technically he only exists as a faint memory that Sarah might
have of some guy being in the ER when Bud was treated, since
she was off snooping when Nurse Peters talked to Bud.
- Septak, Jane - Victim of Agent Simms. An assistant to Professor
Mallin and an outdoors enthusiast, from Toronto, Canada.
Septak, Nathan - "Dead" agent friend of John Brockway.
- Simms, Ernie - Security guard at Frank’s Equipment; party
helped him escape.
- Simms, Agent - An agent of SAVE, a.k.a. the ice pick killer.
He was murdering scores of patients of a Lunacy study, believing
they were all Werewolves. Some of them were, but more importantly,
so was he. Reports show that his lycanthropy seemed related
to the Unknown in some fashion. His weapon of choice was
an ice pick, which he generally thrust into the ear of the
victim. When he began his hunting of Werewolves, he simply
silvered his ice pick and continued with his technique.
- Sommers, Joe - Society safehouse staff
- Still, Jimmy - Police Officer; servant of Daniel. Works
day shift. Staged the “suicide cult” story.
- Susan, Mallin - Professor at UNT that headed up Project
Lycan.
- Walters, John - Victim of Agent Simms. A businessman and
hunter whose death was the start of Mission 3. He subcontracted
some computer work for the Air Force base in Wichita Falls.
- White, Lionel - Society agent sent to reinforce team in
Mission 1. He is a proficient medic, driver, and decent with
a gun. He is six feet tall, black, and has a short afro.
He has a hint of the seventies in his fashion choices, but
usually dresses in a very subdued manner.
- Wilson, “Nurse” - Female Nurse that treated Bud’s injuries
in the McKinney ER during Mission 1. Bud does remember her.
- Winston, Jeff - Society agent: bodyguard for Longwalker
- Zalinsky, Wallace - Morgue attendant at McKinney ER; he
was on duty when John and Sarah were first sneaking about
in Mission 1.
Bad Guys?
- Calif N'ar - believed to be older than The Society and
possibly older than civilization, the Calif is an enigma.
His powers are poorly understood as are his motives.
At times he works directly to effect mankind, yet at other
times he seems to be almost ignorant of mankind's presence.
He rarely presents a direct threat; rather, he seems to reflexively
promote mayhem. There is some concern that he is simply
so powerful a Creature that his very presence promotes the
manifestation of the Unknown. It appears that when he
does actively work among man, his purpose is to corrupt humans,
helping them learn the powers of the Evil Way and putting
them on the road to self-damnation. He usually carefully
selects powerful and intelligent figures, so these activities
present a very real danger.
- Daniel Masterson - the team is not certain of his real name,
but this Creature masqueraded as Daniel Masterson on their
first mission, so that's the name they are sticking with.
