Midst characters

The following is a list of characters in the podcast Midst, in order of their first named appearance:

Lark
Described as a "crotchety outlaw", Lark is relatively new to Vermillion County. She lives out in the red stone desert in a small cabin, with her dog, Landlord. She hunts the strange creatures, like blindings, that live in the Fold, using a single red glove to stun and kill them. She then sells their skins in town. Lark has a Lichtenberg scar of pure darkness that runs from her left hand up her arm and the left side of her neck, and is on friendly terms with Sherman, the bartender at the Black Candle Cabaret. She sometimes watches Sherman's daughter, Tzila. She is also known for telling fortunes.

Atticus Concord
Atticus is a former investigative reporter turned businessman who seeks out opportunities to blackmail businesses with illegal dealings. He is new to Midst, and has recently set his sights on the Black Candle Cabaret.

Saskia Del Norma
Saskia Del Norma is one of the two proprietors of the Black Candle Cabaret, along with Moc Weepe. She is a charming and curvaceous woman who does not seem to ever fully attend to the person she is speaking with, but rather pays attention to all of her surroundings. She and Moc are both suspicious of Atticus.

Moc Weepe
Moc is Saskia's business partner at the Black Candle Cabaret and is described as a "weird diabolical bastard." He is bald, with very light opalescent skin, which he indicates was the result of an incident with the Fold. He and Saskia are suspicious of Atticus. He is also untrusting of Imelda Goldfinch, but as he is with Atticus, intrigued in the potential business opportunities, and willing to play along. Moc is a mainstay of Stationary Hill and Midst, having lived there for six or seven years.

Sherman
Sherman is the bartender at the Black Candle Cabaret. He has a preteen daughter, Tzila, who is often at the bar, and he is on good terms with Lark and is her dealer for an unknown item.

Demarin Ginsberg
Ginsberg is a former caretaker of the Fleit family. He kidnapped Milton Fleit Jr, the son, and brought him to the Unfold, but seemed unprepared and unhappy to do so. Jonas Spahr and Phineas Thatch rescued the boy, and Phineas spoke with Ginsberg, who indicated he was in considerable debt as an "Unlift." Spahr then took Ginsberg into custody.

Milton Fleit Jr.
A child of the wealthy Fleit family, Milton was taken as a hostage by Demarin Ginsberg, an employee of the family. He was rescued, unharmed, by Consector Jonas Spahr's company.

Jedidiah Pom
Jedidiah is a large, ruddy man. He is the Voice of the Teletheric and narrates the heroic exploits of the Consector, and has done so for the past dozen Consectors including the current one, Jonas Spahr.

Consector Jonas Spahr
Jonas Spahr leads a company of heroic adventurers affiliated with the Trust, and wears gold armor. His second in-command is Phineas Thatch.

Phineas Thatch
Phineas is the second-in-command or Adsecla to the Prime Consecutor Jonas Spahr. He has short, dirty-blond hair and wears silver armor and carries a mica mace. Phineas was permitted to take the lead in the Ginsberg case, and implied to Ginsberg he had risen from very humble beginnings. He is described as a "freakishly virtuous cultist". As of "Zero", he still has a slightly higher balance of Caenum in his account with the trust.

Fuze
Fuze is a friendly, charming, and well-liked regular at the Black Candle Cabaret. He wears a poorly fitting but nice suit and has a large mustache to hide his mouth, which is upside-down due to an incident with the Fold. He seems to be on cold terms with Lark. He is also introduced in his first appearance as about to be murdered.

Tzila
Tzila is Sherman's twelve-and-a-half year old daughter who often sits at the bar. She sketches the entertainers, and is friendly with Fuze. She is intrigued by Lark, who sometimes babysits her.

Ettie and Ellie
Ettie and Ellie are dancers at the Black Candle Cabaret and the subject of one of Tzila's drawings. They are interested in Lark's fortune-telling.

Imelda Goldfinch
Imelda is a short, older lady with curly hair. She wears a pantsuit, the blazer of which is covered in sequin-like scales, as well as a sash covered in Valor beads. She is the new Notary of the Trust in Stationary Hill. She bumped into Moc Weepe at the Post Office, in an incident the narrators referred to as spelling his doom.

Milton Fleit Sr.
Milton is the grandfather of Milton Fleit Jr. and the Senior Notary of the Trust.

"Backpack"
"Backpack" (real name unknown) works with Jedidiah Pom on teletheric broadcasts and was present for both Jonas and Phineas's rescue of Milton Fleit Jr. and at what most believed to be Phineas's Breaking Even ceremony. She is skinny and appears to be in her mid to late teens.
