Characters in the Icemark Chronicles

Right now I'm Working on an article to transfer to the mainspace. This is a List of Characters in The Icemark Chronicles by Stuart Hill. These fictional characters are sorted by book they appeared in, and by alphabetical order:

Cry of the Icemark

Thirrin Freer Strong-in-the-Arm Lindenshield, Wildcat of the North, Taker of the Hand of Bellorum

Thirrin is the scion of the ruling house of Lindenshield. Although her father wishes for her to be well-learned, she hates the classroom, and would often rather be out training with the Housecarls. She has wild red hair like her father, and green eyes like her deceased mother. At the beginning of the novel, she is thirteen years old; shortly after the novel begins she turns fourteen at Yule, and is proclaimed the heir of the throne. After her father is killed destroying the Empire's first invading vanguard that came to test the Icemark's defences, she becomes the Queen of the Icemark. During one of her hunting outings, a bear badly wounded one of her soldiers and a storm starts up. Oskan Witch's Son, later known as Oskan the Warlock, gives them shelter in his cave. She goes on a journey with him to make allies. Thirrin believes that he sometimes tries to annoy her.

Oskan the Warlock

Oskan is the son of White Annis, a powerful witch. He lived quietly in his cave in the Great Forest for 15 years until he met Thirrin, after he gave shelter to her and her hunting party during a storm. Thirrin liked him, and after she became Queen, he became one of her Royal Advisors. His heritage is somewhat of a mystery; his unknown father is supposedly of an ancient and powerful race. This race must once in their lives choose between the Light and the Dark; during his and Thirrin's trip to the Land of the Ghosts, he chooses to follow the Light. Oskan is very pale and has jet-black hair. He is a warlock with healing powers and can read the weather, he also calls on the soldiers of the Holly King and Oak King whenever Thirrin wants to send a message to them. He doesn't know that he's a warlock until the Vampire Queen tells he, Thirrin, their escort of wolf-folk, their human escort, King Grishnak, and the other Vampires in the room when Thirrin goes to the land of the ghosts to forge an alliance with their vampiric magesties. When they get back to the Hypolitan, Wenlock Witchmother and the others with the Gift are there to greet Oskan. Wenlock tells him that he is the most powerful warlock in history so far and that he would be her successor, as Oskan Witchfather, only 2nd of his kind. During one battle with the Polypontian Empire, he risks his life to save Thirrin, Tharaman-Thar, and their soldiers from certain death by drawing down lightning. It strikes him and he must go down to the cellars where a place has been prepared for him so he can heal. When he is fully healed, he runs from the cellar to ring the solstice bell to tell Thirrin that the allies have come, and they defeat the Polypontian Army for the last battle. He later becomes Thirrin's consort, as we find out in the 2nd book, Blade of Fire, which takes place a few years later.

Maggiore Totus

Maggiore Totus, or Maggie as he is often referred to, was Thirrin's tutor until she became Queen. At this time, he became her other Royal Advisor, along with Oskan. He is often portrayed as a voice of reason and knowledge, and Thirrin trusts him well. He is a man of science, and the various things he discovers during the war, such as Vampires, the soldiers of the once thought to be mythical Holly and Oak King, he drastically changes his outlook on nature.

Scipio Bellorum

Scipio Bellorum is the greatest general the Polypontian Empire has ever had. He has added numerous countries and provinces to the Empire. He has never lost a war, or even a battle he personally commanded. He is personally feared, as he often slaughters his own troops and officers to make a point, or for the lack of zeal in war. In one battle, he comes out to lead his army for himself and openly challenges Thirrin to one-on-one combat, no interferences. She managed to cut off his hand with his sword still in it, and would have killed him if his army hadn't broken the rules and charged in to protect their general.

Tharaman Thar One Hundredth Thar of the Snow Lepoards, Ruler of the Icesheets, Scourge of the Ice Trolls

Tharaman Thar is the ruler of the Snow Leopards. Contrary to the initial meeting, he is often portrayed as a fun-loving creature, and enjoys drinking games, often with Olememnon, the consort of Elemnestra, the Basilea of the Hypolitan.

King Grishmak Blood-Drinker

King Grishmak Blood-Drinker is the King of the werewolves. He is attacked by Thirrin when she goes hunting, but he allows her to live after overpowering her. King Redrought is furious that there is one of the forbidden creatures in his kingdom, and orders him killed. However, Thirrin saves him, as he let her live. Because of this, Grishmak allies himself with the Icemark.

King Redrought Strong-In-The-Arm Lindenshield, Bear of the North

King Redrought is the father of Thirrin, and previously the King of the Icemark. Although he is loud and fierce, he enjoys furry slippers, and dotes on the Royal Kitten, Primplepuss. He managed to wipe out the Polypontian's first invading army, but paid the ultimate price: his life and the life of all others who had been fighting, the Icemark's army as well as the Empire's.

Vampire King and Queen

Their Vampiric Majesties are the undead Vampire monarchs of the Land-of-the-Ghosts. A deep-seated hatred and distrust has created a rift between them and the Icemark. However, because of the nature of the Empire, they agree to send aid to the Icemark.

Blade of Fire

Archimedo Archimedes

Archimedo Archimedes is an engineer hired to improve the Icemark's defences. He comes up with a way to counter the flying craft of the empire, and bomb shelters to protect the defenders.

Cressida Lindenshield

Cressida Lindenshield is the oldest daughter of Thirrin and Oskan and heir to the Icemark throne.

Cerdic and Eodred Lindenshield

Cerdic & Eodred Lindenshield are the fun loving twin sons of Thirrin and Oskan. Cerdic is killed in battle against the Polypontians.

Charlemagne Lindenshield, Prince Regent of the Exiles

Charlemagne Lindenshield, known as Sharley, is Thirrin and Oskan's crippled son. At a young age he contracted Polio, and was saved by Oskan, although his leg was crippled as result. Charlemagne resents his injury, and when he is named Prince Regent of the Exiles, he takes advantage of the chance to prove himself. In the Desert lands, he trains as a warrior, and leads an army back to the Icemark and saves the country.

Krisafitsa Tharina

The consort of Tharaman Thar, Krisafitsa is actually very gentle.

Medea Lindenshield

Medea Lindenshield is the daughter of Thirrin and Oskan. Throughout the book, she is portrayed as detached from her family, and as a loner. It is revealed she hates her younger brother Charlemagne. She eventually turns to the dark side, and is banished to the land of the dark by her father Oskan.

Sulla and Octavius Bellorum

The sons of Scipio Bellorum, Sulla and Octavius are especially vicious. Sulla commands the Polypontian Artillery, and Octavius commands the cavalry. They are eventually killed in battle.

The Vampire King and Queen

The Immortal King and Queen of The-Land-Of-The-Ghosts help fight the Polypontians in The Blade of Fire. Their forces proved extremely useful against the Empire's flying craft, but eventually leave the fight when the Vampire King is killed.
