Praised for her beauty and wealth despite suffering from depression and a lack of self esteem, Audrey is disillusioned with her popular status and longs for a normal life, which slowly begins to pull her closer to the rest of the Assembly members. Since book two, she has experienced frightening blackouts and struggles with the threat of a violent stalker.

Amelia Pine

Ivy Rein

A 7 year old child found sometime before the events of book one after being chased by a monster. Due to her traumatic experience, Ivy refuses to speak a word and instead relies on written words or sign language to communicate with others. The Assembly find her at the start of book one, under the care of her foster mother Kathryn, and soon enlist her as a consultant due to her impossible knowledge of the creatures and town itself. Without her true identity or backstory, very little is known about Ivy.

Quinton Lim

A 24 year old aspiring filmmaker and new best friend of Amelia Pine after her and Audrey's fallout. Quinton joins the team upon Pine's invite, due to his role as a believer of which makes him an outcast amongst the townsfolk. He is an avid horror fan, making him more attracted to the creepier side of the supernatural, but still remains one of the most knowledgeable members of the cryptids themselves. Suffering many medical drawbacks and extreme social anxiety, Quinton struggles to control his dry and sardonic personality which often pits him as the most intolerable member despite his secret affection for the others.

He is described with spiky black hair, brown eyes, unusually pale skin and mostly only ever wears black.

Troy Brooke

30 year old believer and owner of the Pizza Shack, Troy is the last to be approached by the group in joining the Sleuth Assembly.

Lycan Blackrock

Serving as an employee at Talbot's Den since he was young, Lycan grew to be as close as a son to Russell Talbot, the shop itself becoming a sanctuary given his violent upbringing.

Russell Talbot

With this respect also comes criticism, however, as many townsfolk see him in a rather distasteful light.

It is made known that Talbot, as well as Falcon and Poe, were once expert monster hunters in their early years.

He is described as bald, somewhere in his sixties, has greying facial hair and usually can be seen in a blue button-up shirt.
