Angelo (Angie) Stavinci: A middle-aged plumber and specialist in hydraulics from Cibolla, Luna, saved from certain death by a lie. He has an average face, an Asian everyman. He is nonFoM and Christian, believing in eternal life after death and he fears hell. He listens to Gospel music to distract himself from his sins and his guilt.

Although a loner, he is cheerful and outgoing, always willing to help others. He doesn’t consider himself smart enough for modern science and technology but he quotes philosophy.

He wears a vest, limps and carries a cane with a crystal top to support his bulk.
Willownian the Swift: An Airclimber security policeman on duty at the spaceport the day the Human refugees arrive on Chillip. He has never been off the planet, and never even left the island of Kakakafaloong. It wasn’t part of his destiny. His instincts make him choose for further surveillance the first Humans to split off from their herd, to venture into the city on their own. That kind of spirit was worth a look.
