Characters of The Shadow Quest Series
Sebastian:
Species: Demon
Height: 6’2”
Eye color: Gold
Hair color: Black
Sebastian is a 1200 year old demon, and is the captain of Marada, a ship that has carried him, along with his family, through space as they make their living as merchants to passing ship.
Long ago, at the beginning of the Great Demon War, Sebastian’s mother and sister-in-law betrayed him, almost costing the lives of Sebastian and his two siblings, Calic, and Sonya. As a result, Sebastian closes himself off from anyone who would betray him, especially women.
Sebastian strives to be honorable, and protect his loved ones.
Analia: (Auna-liah)
Species: Faieara
Height: 5’ 4”
Eye color: Translucent Blue
Hair color: Blonde
Analia has lived as a slave since childhood, and cannot remember her people. Her unusual gift and pointed ears are her only clues to her past. Though she had been abused by her captors, Analia retains a sweet and caring disposition, and proves to be extremely resilient.
Analia is somewhat withdrawn, shy, and self-conscious, but she has an almost childlike excitement for life, and an inner strength that people are drawn to.
Calic:
Species: Demon
Height: 6’
Eye color: Blue
Hair color: Blonde
1100 year old Calic is the brother of Sebastian, and second in command of the ship Marada. He is a viscous fighter, and often fights dirty. His talent is in his swordplay and speed, but he often uses his body as a weapon—as well as whatever he can get his hands on.
During the war that destroyed his home planet, Cale was devastated by the betrayal of his mate, Velicia. Demons mate for life, and Calic knows he will never have a second chance at love. He is a brooding alpha male, and a borderline womanizer. As a defense mechanism against most everybody, he uses snarky comments and dark humor.
Marik:
Species: Demon
Height: 6’4”
Eye color: Green
Hair color: Brown
Marik is one of the many demons that lost his freedom during the war that destroyed the demon’s home planet, and spent 450 years of his life as a slave. He feels a great sense of failure and shame that he was unable to save his little sister, Misha, from the same fate.
For many years Marik was passed from slaver to slaver, after each failed to break him. Marked by scars from his torture, Marik was eventually freed by Sebastian, and invited to live aboard Marada. After discovering his love for cooking, Marik became Marada’s head chef, and only wants to be left alone to run the ship’s galley.
Sonya:
Species: Demon
Height: 5’5”
Eye color: Violet
Hair color: Black/purple
Sonya is sister to Calic and Sebastian. She is a 700 year old female demoness who doesn’t take crap from anyone. Aboard Marada, Sonya owns and maintains her pub, which she calls The Demon’s Punchbowl. Sonya thrives on being self-reliant, and tries to distance herself from the over protection of her older siblings.
When she was very young, Sonya witnessed her father’s murder, by pirates over a deal gone sour. As a result she threw herself into learning to fight. Her greatest ability is her speed, which has so far remained unmatched.

Taken under the protection of King Fineas, a close friend of her father’s, Nadua adapted as best she could to her new life. On his death bed, Fineas charged Nadua with protecting the crown and keeping his beloved daughter, Ava, safe until she comes of age and can take her rightful place. >> Character Interview
