214:, Mieli is tasked to rescue Jean le Flambeur from the Dilemma Prison. She is ambivalent about her task, as she despises thieves but is ordered to help one. Her honor leads to occasional conflicts with Jean, but helped her to secure the tzadikkim's assistance when Jean's persuasion failed to work on the latter. She proves to be a skilled warrior and is crucial in extricating Jean from several dangerous situations. A bond between her and Jean soon develops, to the extent that she gives Pellegrini the right to make gogols of her (i.e. clone her, thus sacrificing her uniqueness) in exchange for permission to rescue Jean le Flambeur and the Oubliette from certain doom. 553:, it is revealed that he is the Sobornost warmind trapped inside the Schrödinger's Box that Jean le Flambeur has stolen from the Zoku, after Jean used a Realmgate in a Zoku router to enter the Realm in the Box. Both Sumanguru and Jean appear to remember that it was Matjek Chen who betrayed Sumanguru, and Jean attempted to use this memory to lure Sumanguru out of the zoku Realm with the promise of revenge on Chen. Nevertheless, Sumanguru had become angry with Jean for letting him be trapped in the Box and decided not to cooperate. Unfortunately, Jean had a firmament vir running on Oortian hardware (the ship 513:, the "pellegrini" is initially portrayed as a mysterious entity of the Sobornost, who wields god-like powers over Jean and Mieli. She has employed Mieli to free Jean from his prison for some unknown purpose. This apparently entails recovering Jean's lost memories, some of which are hidden in the Martian Moving City of Oubliette. As the story progresses, the "pellegrini" reveals, using Mieli's body as a mouthpiece, that she had an elaborate history with Jean, having possibly been both a mentor and a lover. At the end of the novel, the character of Joséphine Pellegrini is introduced as a Sobornost Founder. 1158:(possibly a corruption of the word "pixel") is the zoku girlfriend of Isidore. She lives in the zoku colony on the Oubliette. She reveals the identity of the Gentleman to Isidore, which leads him to confront Raymonde and thereby piece together what Jean, as Paul Sernine, had done in the past and is about to do soon. She decides to help Isidore save the Oubliette, against the wishes of the zoku colony, which prompted the zoku colony to come out in full force against the phoboi tide that threatened the Oubliette. 616:. (The latter was also discovered by Unruh, a fact that shocked him greatly and led to his choice of an early Quiet.) He also realizes that gevulot is not as secure as people thought, but that a master key exists. It turns out that Jean le Roi holds the master key, being the Cryptarch and former King of the Oubliette, and that he is also the father of Isidore, something confirmed by Jean le Flambeur after Isidore's initial misapprehension that Jean le Flambeur was his actual father. 1078:(being the namesake of the knowledgeable Tawaddud in the story "Abu al-Husn and His Slave-Girl Tawaddud) is a daughter of Cassar Gomelez. She is considered to be the black sheep of her family, having abandoned her mutalibun husband, Veyraz, for the City of the Dead and consorted with the father of body thieves, the Axolotl, for which she was branded the "lover of monsters" by her father and gained a reputation as the "Axolotl's whore." 963:. He remembers his days as a human: taking the train, which smelled of people, fast food and coffee. After the Collapse, he learned to adjust to his bodiless life and make himself a dream-train. One day, in that train, he met the Flower Prince, who offered to tell him the secret of stealing a human body. Zaybak accepted and caused a wave of body thefts and debauchery in Sirr, an event known to Tawaddud as the "night of the ghuls." 423:, Chen's role in the story is heightened, as the backstory of his past interactions with Josephine Pellegrini and Jean le Flambeur is explored in greater detail in the many flashbacks, presented in the novel as stories within stories. It is revealed that the Great Common Task originated from him as a goal for the Sobornost. He is also portrayed in the flashbacks as a precocious boy with great technical prowess. 605:) is a student of architecture and an amateur detective. He is only ten Martian years old when he attracts unwelcome fame after solving a gogol piracy case that was brought to his attention by The Gentleman. This fame brings him to the attention of the millenniaire, Christian Unruh, who summons him to solve the mystery of the impossible appearance of a note at his residence. 520:, Jean has also realized the identity of the "pellegrini," including the fact that she was his employer before he was caught and sent to the Dilemma Prison. Several flashbacks establish the circumstances of Jean's capture and the nature of his relation with Pellegrini. Mieli's story, particularly how she came to be under the employ of Pellegrini, is also detailed in 1032:) is an acquaintance of Tawaddud Gomelez who works in the Palace of Dreams. When Tawaddud arrives at the Palace with the sumanguru, Emina initially reprimands Tawaddud for having the nerve to return after causing trouble at the Palace, due to the Repentants coming for Tawaddud, but later relents and agrees to take Tawaddud to see Kafur to find the Axolotl. 815:, a person who is very rich in Time. When he first meets Isidore, he is about to organize a farewell party for himself, as he has elected to enter Quiet early. A mysterious note has appeared under impossible circumstances in his residence, announcing a gate-crasher to his party. After learning of Isidore's exploits, Unruh summons him to solve the mystery. 324:) are a collective of entities who command millions, if not billions, of gogols and thereby have god-like powers over them and their environments.
