Main characters
Zayne Carrick
A young Padawan who trained at the Jedi Academy on Taris. He is a kind-hearted young man who unfortunately has a dubious connection with the Force at best. He is also a bit clumsy, unlucky, and danger-prone, but he always tries to do the right thing and helps others when he can. When he was framed for the murder of his fellow students by the Jedi Masters, he found himself stuck as Gryph's "henchman" and has since been searching the Galaxy for a way to clear his name and bring the Jedi Masters to justice. Zayne was finally proven innocent after the Vindication Storyline but stands with the friends that believed in him as opposed to the Jedi Order that did not.
Marn "Gryph" Hierogryph
A Snivvian smuggler whose bark is much worse than his bite. Gryph has always had a dream about becoming a big, notorious criminal, but his crimes usually go unnoticed compared to other lowlife in the galaxy. He is notoriously greedy and will do almost anything to make a few easy credits, no matter how much danger it may bring to him and his companions. Despite this, he is far from a cold-hearted murderer and has shown compassion more than once while traveling with Zayne. He also has a seemingly endless supply of underworld connections when it comes to dealing with low-life criminals around the galaxy. He starts the series addressing Zayne as a Jedi "intern", but later promotes him to "henchman" when the two begin working together officially.
Jarael
A young female Arkanian offshoot who acts as Camper's bodyguard. Camper had saved Jarael's life long ago, and since then, in an effort to repay him, she has been protecting him from those who would seek to harm him. She is a bit brash and easily angered, especially when it comes to the well-being of Camper, but she is an excellent fighter and loyal friend. She often refers to Camper as "Perero" which means "Honored Elder" in Arkanian, showing that she deeply respects and honors the old man. It has been revealed that before she met Camper, she was a slaver.
Gorman "Camper" Vandrayk
Camper is an elderly Arkanian offshoot inventor and mechanic who fled his home planet of Arkania with Jarael due to being hunted by an Arkanian corporation known as Adascorp. Due to his old age, Camper's memory has begun to fade and he has slowly turned senile over the years, claiming he can't even remember his real name anymore. However, he is still an expert mechanic and can repair and modify just about any ship or droid he sets his eyes on. Unfortunately, his mental and physical health has only worsened over the time he has spent traveling the galaxy with Zayne, and Jarael has become more and more concerned for him. His real name is revealed in issue 18 to be Gorman Vandrayk.
Elbee
One of the large, bulky labor droids that was used at the Jedi Academy on Taris. Elbee was destroyed by the Jedi Masters on a Padawan training mission to the Rogue Moon in order to keep their plan of killing the Padawans a secret. When Zayne returns to the Rogue Moon to search for clues, he finds the remains of Elbee which Camper then tries to fix. Unfortunately, most of Elbee's components were beyond repair so Camper used various parts from other droids to fix Elbee. Labor drones were made to take orders without question, but due to having the mind of a high-end droid, Elbee constantly questions the orders he is given and has to be either convinced or tricked into doing anything. Despite this, Elbee is extremely strong and useful for hauling cargo, people, and even fighting. He may be named as a tribute to Herman Melville's short story Bartleby , as both its eponymous character and Elbee share the catchphrase "I would prefer not to."
Rohlan Dyre
A Mandalorian soldier who has been in more battles than most people have heard of. Rohlan is an incredible warrior who claims he could have been Mand'alor if his true desire wasn't being on the frontlines of combat rather than studying maps. Over the years, however, he began questioning what the Mandalorian Wars were really about. He soon came to the conclusion that the war against the Republic had no real purpose, and the Mandalorians had degenerated from pragmatic warriors to treacherous bandits. He has since then tried to flee the battle and escape the war, but has been caught each time and returned to the battlefield, where he will be forced to fight in the Mandalorian Wars until the day he dies. When he encounters the crew of the Last Resort on Flashpoint, he sees his opportunity to escape from the war and stows away on their ship, eventually coming to the aid of Jarael and Camper after they are attacked by an HK-24 assassin droid and decides to travel with them. His legend grows among the Mandalorian ranks even more after his actions at Flashpoint station, with Mand'alor taking advantage of the legend of "Roland the Questioner" for propaganda.
