Sedrick
Sedrick Snow, a distinguished author and professor at the prestigious St. Ardaour College in Cambridge, is on the brink of his fourth decade. His tired appearance, characterized by dark brown hair and a sombre demeanour, is a stark reflection of the burden he carries. His reserved nature is mirrored in his choice of attire, opting for black glasses and a perpetually wrinkled outfit consisting of a white collared shirt with long billowing sleeves, a black vest with two pockets, and baggy black trousers. Despite his constant exhaustion, Sedrick's dedication to his work and loved ones shines through, evident in his unwavering loyalty and love for those closest to him.
Beneath the surface, Sedrick grapples with the profound loss of his family, a tragedy that has left him meek and withdrawn. Despite the weight of his grief, he maintains his sharp wit and wisdom, finding solace in his friends. However, the toll of his loss manifests in emotional instability, a common struggle for those navigating deep sorrow. Through it all, Sedrick's resilience and enduring love for his family serve as a testament to his strength of character as he continues to navigate life's challenges with great determination.
Edwyn
Sedrick and Edwyn share a bond that has stood the test of time, their friendship deepening over the years. Edwyn's dedication to supporting his friend on his path to recovery is unwavering, his commitment shining through in every action he takes. Despite his outward appearance of arrogance and flamboyance, complete with a green scarf, yellow-tinted shades, and form-fitting attire that accentuates his slender frame, Edwyn's true nature is one of compassion and warmth. When the situation calls for it, he reveals a tender and caring side that surprises those who only see his facade.
Little does Sedrick know that Edwyn is not just a loyal friend but also his secret Guardian Angel, a celestial being who has watched over him for over twenty years and has graced the world for over a century. Edwyn's presence in Sedrick's life goes beyond mere companionship, as he protects and guides him through life's challenges. With a history that spans generations, Edwyn's role as the professor's protector adds a layer of mystery and depth to their already profound friendship.
Angelo
Sedrick's brother-in-law, Angelo, is an extraordinary individual in his early thirties who is unfortunately battling a terminal illness. What makes Angelo genuinely remarkable is not just his illness but his towering height of six-foot-seven, which commands attention wherever he goes. It's not just his physical presence that captivates people but also his ethereal aura that envelops him, giving him an almost otherworldly quality. With his celestial features, Angelo is undeniably a striking figure who leaves a lasting impression on anyone who crosses his path.
His unique perspective on life and love sets Angelo apart from others. Despite the challenges and limitations imposed by his condition, he radiates kindness and warmth, touching the lives of those fortunate enough to know him. His ability to find beauty and joy in the simplest moments is genuinely inspiring. While Sedrick may bond closely with Edwyn, his connection with Angelo is still profound. It is a bond that allows them to share moments of vulnerability, understanding, and support. Angelo's presence in Sedrick's life is a constant reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing those closest to you.
River
River Whittaker, Sedrick's partner of ten years, is a striking figure with his delicate features, flawless porcelain skin, vibrant red hair flowing down his shoulders, and captivating emerald eyes that seem to hold a hint of enigma. Despite his confident and determined outward appearance, River has a quick temper, tends to be overly dramatic, and takes things very personally. His past shadows haunt him, and when Sedrick unintentionally betrays him, River's desire for revenge leads him to create an evil counterpart named Rowan through dark magic inadvertently.
River and Rowan become the source of much of Sedrick's pain and misfortune, although he remains unaware of it for many years. With his mix of beauty and darkness, River's complex character adds depth to the story as he grapples with his inner demons and seeks retribution against Sedrick. The creation of Rowan through River's actions introduces a new layer of complexity to the narrative, as the consequences of his actions come back to haunt him in unexpected ways, ultimately leading to a tragic turn of events for all involved.
