As you read through the Event Horizon series, you will be confronted with all manner of new characters, mainly from Earth. Here is a list of all named original characters so far who will have a role to play. This list will be updated frequently as new characters appear. Right now, it is divided into three categories: (I) The Company, (II) The United Nations, and (III) Other Characters. The cast lists are in (roughly) order of appearance rather than order of importance.
I. THE COMPANY - a 22nd century mega-corporation with numerous investments in space exploration, mining, and colonization, mainly in the Sol and Alpha Centauri Systems. The Company has also recently launched a mission to explore (and eventually colonize) the Epsilon Eridani System. If the mission is successful, the UN will grant The Company a 30-year exclusive access rights to the system. This mission, however, has been immensely complicated by the discovery that four of Epsilon Eridani's planets are already inhabited by an indigenous sapient race ... and that those natives are Humans no less!
