This is a list of the characters appearing in the Epic Adventures webcomic.

Protagonists

Major Characters

  • Glin - Ever-rambunctious and simple-minded Glin is the lovable member of the crew who often causes the zany misadventures with his seemingly innocent intents. He wears a tie and collared white shirt, but has no apparent occupation other than causing a hard time for the rest of the cast. He also points out the obvious (proclaiming "boobies" when seeing a new female character).
  • Mark - Mark is Glin's roommate and (presumably) friend. Playing the straight man to Glin's antics, Mark is more serious and uptight, but he has been shown to possess an inner idiocy. Mark is generally unwillingly dragged along on the comic's storylines (though he did initiate the Faber's Date chapter), but accepts and adapts to his situations rather easily.

Supporting Characters

  • Faber - A female who Mark and Glin met during their army recruitment, she has continued to appear in the comic ever since. She has a tougher exterior than most of the other characters, and she's clearly rather feminist (although not to the extremes portrayed by anti-feminists). She happens to be a lesbian, meaning that she may be an extension of the butch stereotype. In the army, she was the mêlée specialist.
  • Saphie - Faber's love interest, Saphie is a female character (with anime-inspired pink hair) who appeared during the Zombie chapter. She is more loose personality-wise than Faber, and she is a bit more giving and friendly than Faber as well. She has died at the hands of Olive (Death's daughter), but she has since been revived.
  • Mistah (also Mister, Mizzah, and Mr.) Z - This serious-to-the-point-of-ridiculousness character appeared during the Zombie Chapter, he is a paranoid monster hunter with an eye patch and an strong distrust for Faber. He is often seen mispronouncing the word "evil" as "efil", most recognizable as a "leetspeek" joke. He often has unconventional weaponry and odd hunches that prove accurate.
  • Daryl - A time-displaced warrior from an alternate dimension/future period, she appeared in Mark and Glin's kitchen via a portal of some sort. Though initially at odds with the two, she learns to tolerate them while she finds a way back home. She is primarily concerned with getting back to her time period, which is in the middle of a major war (that may or may not be related to the current issues in the comic).

Minor Characters

  • Skinner - A rather large, over-the-top character who has only played a major role during the Army Chapter, he has handled the heavy weapons (mostly an RPG). He is known for his crude, rude attitude and foul mouth. He has been seen outside of the Army a few times, and is slated to become one of the major cast-members after the current chapter is finished.
  • Glin's Father - The "retired sergeant" that the group was sent to rescue. He is on the run from the Army for unknown reasons, but assists the group in escaping from the retirement home. He has not been seen since the Army chapter.
  • Black-Coated Man - Currently appearing in the Time Portal chapter, he has revealed several important plot points to the group. His origin, name and motivation are currently unknown.

Antagonists

  • "The Master" - This unseen character, who speaks in Greek, works behind-the-scenes. Though nothing has been proven yet, it has been implied that he/she is responsible for the strange going-ons in Epic Adventures. It also may be one of the Shadows (see below).
  • General E. Speaking - The demented leader of Mark and Glin's squadron, he is a violent, manipulative man who nonetheless seems to be a coward when confronted. He seems to have some connection to the Master.
  • Nilg - Glin's evil alter-ego, he only appears when something throws Glin's regular temperament off-balance. He has only been seen during the Army Chapter.
  • Olive - Daughter of Death, she showed up in the Death of Mistah Z Chapter to reap Mistah Z's soul. Her plan was foiled when she lost to Glin at a game of marbles. She has not appeared since.

Organizations

  • The Hands - This race of spacefaring beings are the guardians of the galaxy. They seem to be extremely advanced, as they possess time-travel technology and have the ability to shapeshift (whether this is natural or not is not known). They often take the form of clocks or watches. Currently, the only known Hand is the grandfather clock in Mark and Glin's house.
  • The Shadows - Another intergalactic race, at war with the Hands. They also possess time-travel, though limited compared to their enemies. They are warring with Daryl's race in the future/alternate universe, and are mucking up the timeline in WWII-era Germany. It is implied that the Master is the leader of the Shadows, at least on Earth.

Cameos

As stated in the Guest Chapter, cameos were commonplace early in the series, but have dwindled after a while. The following lists the current cameos. This list may not be complete and does not list the episode number(s) of the specified cameo.
