>CONSTANTINE [Lead Male, 25-29, Black British]: A troubled man whose life is upended when a chance encounter with a young girl pulls him into the dark and treacherous world of the occult.
>AKARA [Female, 10, Cambodian]: The emotional heart of Constantine's journey. Akara suffers from a bodily affliction that makes her at times grotesque and unusually strong -- potentially very dangerous. Her plight is not unlike that of someone who has a terminal illness. At times a victim and a scared young girl, Akara finds her strength along the journey and discovers an unshakeable will within her.
>PICH [Male, 60+, Cambodian]: Akara’s stoical grandfather. Racked by guilt due to his granddaughter’s inherited affliction, but covers it with a subtle warmth and dry sense of humor. A survivor of the Killing Fields, he’s been through horrors we can’t imagine. Though he doesn’t look it, he is at times stunningly strong despite his age.
>PAUL [Non-Binary Trans Male, Black, 40-59]: A nightclub owner and trafficker based in Soho. Wry and sceptical, Paul is a wheeler-dealer with a twinkle in his eye. A survivor of a youth of hardship and excess, he has risen to the top in his world, and is now struggling to stay there. Grace Jones meets Lando Calrissian.
>THE GURKHA: [Male, Asian 30-49]: An enigmatic and intimidating Nepalese assassin, the Gurkha is a taciturn, physically capable, seemingly unstoppable yet shrewd killing machine. Less because of his stature than his chillingly cold look.
