Travis Cornell
A 36-year-old retired soldier who spent much of his enlisted career as a Delta Force operative. After leaving the military he became a successful real estate broker, but retired from that as well. He thinks he is finally 'set'. But, as a result of his many disappointments throughout his life, and the many people he knows that he has killed, he has become depressed and cynical. When he meets Nora Devon and Einstein, all of this changes, and he begins to enjoy life once again.
Nora Devon
A 30-year-old recluse who has lived with her Aunt Violet since she was two. Ridiculed and tormented by her aunt throughout her life, Nora has lost any sense of self-worth and is barely able to go outside her house. She longs to reach out and become a part of the world, and learns to do so through her relationships with Travis and Einstein.
Einstein
A genetically altered golden retriever, created in a top-secret government lab, that has acquired a level of intelligence rivaling that of some human beings. Forms a close relationship with Travis and Nora.
The Outsider
Another genetically engineered life-form created in the same lab as Einstein. The Outsider, whose appearance is monstrous and terrifying, was treated with scorn and contempt, resulting in a deep hatred of human beings, and especially of Einstein. His base form is a baboon but with his most dangerous features enhanced e.g. claws and jaws.
Vince Nasco
A freelance assassin who believes that he absorbs the souls of those he kills, and that if he absorbs enough souls, he will eventually become invincible. Nasco is hired by an unknown client to assassinate every scientist that has worked in the lab where Einstein and The Outsider were created. Nasco discovers Einstein and forms a plan to capture Einstein and ransom it off for financial gain.
Arthur Streck
Nora's stalker
