- Diana Ladris: Caine's closest ally. Diana's mutant ability is the power to read another person's mutant ability levels. Caine is in love with her. She has been with Caine throughout all of his adventures in the FAYZ
- Drake Merwin: Thanks to the help of the Darkness and Lana's healing hands in previous books, Drake's arm grew into a long red, snake-like whip. He is a phychopath without mercy, willingly causing chaos under the influence of the Darkness. Drake was killed, but there have been rumors that Drake has supposedly come back from the dead.

- Charles Merriman "(aka Orc)": Orc's body is covered in a rocky, gravel-like substance that gives him super human strength, as well as more of a defense towards physical attacks.
