Deceased Characters
Neil Perry: Eldest son of Augustus Perry, known in his lifetime to be quite mad. His rape of his sister is proven fact; that he killed his two younger brothers is suspected but not verified. For the latter part of his life he was confined to an abbey in the north where he was allowed to indulge in his depravity in relative safety, supplied with victims quietly by his father. He was murdered by his eldest son, Jonathan, when he was discovered mid-torture of Andrea Carlton.
The Morgan: The moor witch serving Rothborne parish; Madeline’s mentor.
Andrea Carlton: Somewhat wild and unschooled only child of Henry Carlton and last of her house; she was killed by Jonathan out of pity once he saw how she suffered at his father’s hand.
Hamilton Elliott: Madeline’s father. A discontented impoverished nobleman obsessed with House lore, he committed suicide for reasons not known to those who survived him.
Annette Perry: Augustus’s only daughter and Charles’s mother; she died at a young age, ten years after giving birth to her son, under mysterious circumstances which are widely believed to have been suicide.
