There are ten characters in the Fear of the Unknown (Season 3) box. They include Agatha May, Huikong, Julien Dulik, Leon Withers, Mike Kozlov, Jakub Peters, Ruth Weber, Sally Withers, Sandra Atkinson, and Stella Fontaine.

Agatha May

Aatha is part of a large crime family, though she’s given up her title as heir apparent. She doesn’t want to run the business while she’s got eldritch horrors to put down. The eggheads and bookworms in the business are good at their jobs, but not always good in a fight. Agatha is very good in a fight. As such, she is happy to be ‘simple muscle’ and maybe sometimes help the scholars do the occasional bit of less-than-legal acquisition of their research. Oh, and if you value you skin intact, don’t ever, ever call her ‘Aggie.’

Huikong

Huikong has traveled far and wide since an early age, seeking out eldritch horrors and the humans that worship them. But his is not a mission of redemption. There is only one way to redeem those lost to the madness. As such, even at his advanced age, Huikong is one of the most lethal investigators a cultist could have the misfortune to cross. He’s a master of martial arts, an artist of death. To investigators, he’s a voice of wisdom in an insane world.

Julien Dulik

The boy doesn’t speak, small wonder. Being investigators, you can imagine the horrors he’s seen. It’s bad enough for fully grown adults. With such images inflicted on a young mind, it’s a mercy he only has this one impediment. In fact, you’re not even sure if Julien is his name. It was written on the inside of his shirt collar, as parents sometimes do. Though, if he had parents, no one has spoken up. It’s a bit odd to have a child helping out against such dangerous enemies, but just try and stop him.

Leon Barnes

Leon was a soldier in the Great War, an officer and gentleman, fighting alongside the British who awarded him the Medal of Honor three times. He’s got two Congressional Medals of Honor, several medals from the French, and the Kaiser personally put a bounty on Leon’s head… Or rather, this is what Leon says about himself. Most don’t believe him and that’s probably wise. That said, he really does seem to know his stuff when it comes to a fight. But, his boasts always come down with a wink and a smile, so there’s really no harm in it.

Mike Kozlov

Mikhail was a Russian Strongman for a traveling circus. He would bend bars, juggle fifty-pound weights, and wrestle bears into submission… Well, that last one was probably stage magic, but Mike is capable of some truly astonishing feats of raw might, particularly in a fight. And there is plenty of fighting in this line of work. Mike enjoys the challenge of facing these beasts head-on, which means he’s probably a bit crazy. That said, he’s in good company, since only madmen seek out these nameless terrors and battle them head-on

Jakub Peters

Peters was a doctor at a mental institution, though not a psychologist. And place that houses wards of the state needs a physician and surgeon on hand. Luckily, Peters does both. But, more and more, the ravings coming out of some patients’ mouths began to make some sense. He started to worry about his own mental health until he discovered that a cult had taken control of the facility. When they came for him, he was ready. He’s sworn an oath to do no harm, but he doesn’t feel that applies to cultists or monsters.

Ruth Weber

Aa freelance investigative reporter, Ruth finds herself looking into the most unusual situations. From Organized crime to shady politicians, and even was profiteering, Ruth has seen it all. Or rather, thought she had until she looked into a so-called cult in a small town on the East Coast. What she found was… well, you probably get the idea. Over the years, Ruth has found it advantageous to see without being seen. To her pleasant surprise, these creatures of night and darkness are usually just as oblivious to a knife in the dark as normal people are.

Sally Withers

As one of the only war correspondents in the trenches during the Great War, Sally had the harrowing duty of photographing that brutal conflict up-close. As such, she became well-acquainted with death, to such a degree that it threatened to extinguish her own smile permanently. But that was before she found a new calling. One might think finding a terrifying, horrific world lurking beneath our own would be even more traumatic, but for Sally, it restored her faith in humanity. Turns out we’re not the worst things out there.

Sandra Atkinson

Sandra’s love of ancient secrets led her to places she never dreamed. Finding relics of truly alien races is beyond thrilling. Unfortunately, most of the world’s most promising sites tend to be focal points for the eldritch beings and their human cultists. As such, her job requires weapons as often as picks and shovels. Also, many of the things she finds would not be welcome among traditional academic circles, who remain blind to the hidden work beneath our own. Fortunately, those who battle these alien beings are always in need of more information.

Stella Fontaine

The joy of watching things explode is far more common among scientists (chemists in particular) than people might believe. Stella posits that while the eldritch beings she goes up against exhibit some supernatural properties, they still must abide by the physical laws of this universe. Case in point, hydrochloric acid will eat through a monster as quickly as it does a person. Thus, while not all of their properties or abilities are understood, time and further experimentation will bring to light even their most closely held secrets. Also, blowing them up is great fun.
