Klacks regresa en Dreamfall como tendero, donde se rinde ante April.

Brian Westhouse

Voiced by Ralph Byers.

Brian Westhouse is a Stark-born adventurer nicknamed "The Rolling Man" by Marcurians because he rides a bicycle, a vehicle foreign to them, who appears briefly in TLJ and accompanies Zoë Castillo in Dreamfall to one of the few places in Arcadia he has never visited, and scenes in the game suggest that his transition between worlds may be of significant importance to the central plot. He came through a shift while stranted in India in the 1930s, although he cannot shift himself.

Benrime Salmin es la dueña de "La Posada Del Viajero", una posada localizada en Marcuria, Arcadia. Aparece por primera vez en The Longest Journey, donde se convierte en amiga y confidente de April Ryan. En Dreamfall, ayuda a April y a la resistencia contra los Azadi en más de una vez.

His wife is Abyanda, and his daughters are Abratha, Abelexe, and Abpalmana. Because the Venar do not distinguish between past, present, and future, his conjugations are scrambled (e.g. "Enter honored guest, and I would have been with you presently.").

Adrian

Adrian es el 12º Guardián, que dejó su trono tras 1000 años. Fue sucedido por Gordon Halloway.

Lady Alvane

Lady Alvane is a mysterious old woman who recounts the story of April's quest, and who appeared in the story giving asylum to April, possibly between the worlds. Given her levels of insight into April's future and feelings, some fans speculate that she is an older version of April. Ragnar Tørnquist has taken pains to keep her identity ambiguous.^[2]​

Wick, Woody, and Willow

Wick, Woody, and Willow are the three Stickmen that April meets on the island of Atlais. They serve the Mother Tree, a massive tree wherein they build a 'Lunar Cannon' capable of "shooting them to the Moon" where they could live better lives. Wick acts smart-mouthed. Woody acts like a tough New Yorker type. Willow acts like a depressed nerd, and admits he has a bigger brain and is only capable of "useless" things like calculations and book writing.

Prophet

The Prophet is a mysterious hooded figure who appears only once in Dreamfall. Much speculation surrounds his true identity.

Draic Kin

Draic Kin or simply the Kin is a fictional race of ancient dragon-like extraterrestrial sentient beings living on Earth, as featured in the The Longest Journey and Dreamfall, depicted as tremendously powerful and immensely able in magic and science. Their life expectancy can exceed millennia, although they are not immortal. Some of the most ancient legends in Arcadia hint that their nature is similar to that of the Creator, whereas April Ryan defines them as aliens, though no information about their origin is provided.

According to the Arcadian legends, the Kin created the Balance and helped humans Divide the Earth into Stark and Arcadia, thus saving it from imminent destruction. Consequentially, the Draic Kin have been perceived as the good-nature spirits and the protectors of the Balance ever since. It is also a subject of much debate whether the Kin can travel between the Twin Worlds: while no Kin seen in the games has done so, there have been multiple hints that they are capable of doing it, such as when a Starkian Kin refers to an Arcadian priest as if they have met each other personally. When among humans, the Kin assume human forms to fit into the society, although their apparent true form is that of giant reptiles. All Kin seen in the games appear in their reptilian forms at least once in TLJ, and never in Dreamfall.

In the games, only four Kin are said to reside in the Twin Worlds; two in Stark and two in Arcadia.

Red Kin

Voiced by Louis Aguirre.

The Red Kin goes by the names of Cortez and Manny Chavez. He lives in Stark and maintains the image of an eccentric, unrecognized genius. Cortez readily assists humans who wish to cross the Divide, and he is the first Kin, after the White Mother, who approaches April Ryan in TLJ, later to appear as her mentor and ultimately to die opposing the Green Kin (see below). Cortez is never identified in the games as the "Red Kin"; but a spirit in the Banda Dig calls him "Cortez the Red".

Green Kin

The Green Kin is known as Jacob McAllen or the White Cardinal in Stark. He is the head of the Church of Voltec, where his purpose is the reunification of the Twin Worlds at any cost, and de facto the mightiest political figure in Stark. McAllen is the chief antagonist in TLJ and appears to be the Kin most interested in science and technology among his brethren. As his plans for the Twin Worlds go against those of Cortez, the two have a constant silent confrontation that culminates in their duel and apparent death. He is the only Kin not directly mentioned in Dreamfall.

White Kin

The White Kin is the only female Kin on Earth. She resides in Arcadia and is featured prominently in Arcadian legends as the White Dragon or simply Mother. It is unclear whether "Mother" is an alternative name of the White Kin or a role played in the cosmology of the Twin Worlds. The White Kin is, according to her own statement, April Ryan's parent. In the end of the first game, she dies of exhaustion but is reborn in her younger daughter, to whom April commonly refers as "sister". The young White Kin is a prominent figure in Dreamfall, helping first April and then Zoë Castillo on their journeys. In the final chapters of Dreamfall, after April apparently dies at the hands of the Azadi, the young Kin also falls victim to an unknown attacker, whom she apparently recognizes moments before the attack.

Blue Kin

The Blue Kin, also known as the Old God, is the second Arcadian Kin and the least prominent in the games. While the other Kin actively participate in the life of the Twin Worlds, the Blue sleeps on the bottom of the Sea of Songs awaiting the time to leave Earth for good with his "children", the winged Alatien and the aquatic Maerum. As seen in several scenes of TLJ, his dragon form is much larger than that of the other Kin, but the players are never shown his human form. He is worshipped as a god by the Maerum (and, possibly, Alatien) and can occasionally extend exclusive authority upon the Dark People, but displays no interest in the Balance and the Twin Worlds. According to the young White Kin, he is already "gone" when the events of Dreamfall take place; though whether this signifies death or living departure is not stated.

Dreamfall Chapters

Very little is known about the cast of Dreamfall Chapters, except that both Zoë and Kian will be returning.^[4]​

Mira

A crime queenpin of Europolis in Stark.

Wit

A genius technician in Mira's employment.

Falk Friedman

A Corporate Jäger employed by various global conglomerates and corporations to take care of unofficial, off-the-books business. ^[5]​
