Corporal Flint: Hard nosed watch supervisor in charge of the Alliance detachment guarding Jim's captured unit.
Private Cook: Second watch supervisor, and the man responsible for first introducing alcohol and bringing the party to critical mass. Was executed by firing squad for his actions.
Robert Tulson and Kelson Parrish: Two knuckleheads in Jim's unit who's ill-timed rampage ruined Jim's plan to intoxicate the Alliance troopers. Both men were killed, but they soon lived on as legendary figures in the post-surrender resistance of Browncoat lore, thanks to some embellishments on their stories.
Big Bobby: An unscrupulous, spherical salesman at Leeroy and Lewis Shipworks. Was taken captive by some former associates, and only owes his escape to some quick thinking on Jim and John's part.
Lefty: A young man who, along with his sister, caught Big Bobby off guard by posing as a married couple in the market for a ship. Lefty's real name is unknown, and is only called as much because he lost his right arm to gangrene after being shot by Jim.
Sis: Lefty's sister, who's wandering eyes were how Jim and John originally got involved with their foiled kidnapping attempt. Real name unknown.
One-Eye: An imposing, one-eyed man with long platinum hair, first seen when Lefty and Sis had cornered Big Bobby and accompanied by three thugs. One-Eye proved to be the most athletic of the bunch when he very nearly chased down a mule-riding Jim and almost vaulted the Ranger's closing cargo bay door. He was wearing a prison jumpsuit at the time and in addition, it is speculated that he might have been the Ranger's previous owner. By chance, the PC's have foun themselves in competition with One-Eye's crew recently.
The Tagger: A vandal who chose this moment to sneak into the shipyard and cover the nicest ship with a graffiti mural bearing his signature, JP-rice.
Old Man Trahn: A homeless codger on Concorde Bazaar's lower deck who's new pickpocketing career was cut short by a body slam from Jim. A sympathetic Bambi later took him in, where he revealed that he used to be a Tong enforcer during the station's heyday, and filled them in on the history of that trade.
Pineapple Zigadaba: The grumpy owner of a taco truck that roams Concorde's lower decks, selling the Verse's tastiest mexican food and some fantastically potent hangover cures.
Hester Prynne: At first, nothing more than a beautiful cougar that Jim had an uproarious one-night stand with. The next day, however, Jim discovered to his alarm that Hester was one of his next passengers, along with her husband Lars, for the next month.
Lars Prynne: Hester's husband and the owner of a software company, who was attempting to sell his enterprise to the surly Jacob Wells and treating him to a fishing trip along the side. By surrendering his place as captain and walking on eggshells, Jim managed to avoid Lar's attention and kept the secret of his antics with Hester. At the end of the journey, however, Bambi revealed that Lars was impotent and practiced open marriage with Hester, and didn't care either way what Jim had done.
Jacob Wells: An angry, defensive man who's business deal with the Prynnes was on the verge of collapse when they first arrived on Ranger. Thanks to Bambi's counseling and attention, however, she convinced him to begin breaking his nasty view of the world and eventually, he bought the Prynne's company.
'DoppelGangster101': The Concorde Bazaar System Administrator and a twitchy drug user who demanded reparations for Dean's electronic vandalism. Known for his cracked-out behavior and spontaneous rhyming.
The (not-)Donut People: The company which hired the Ranger to transport what they claimed was a dismantled donut machine to Beaumonde. A surprise cargo inspection by the Alliance showed that the cargo was, in fact, illegal clippings from pharmaceutical plants nearby Greenleaf.
Madam Hua: The formidable owner of a teahouse/pool hall on Beylix. She is notoriously protective of her shop's wood floor and has a strict no shoes policy. Violators are beaten senseless, forced to mop and polish the floor by hand, and then have their picture taken for commemoration on the Wall of Shame.
Jaime "Nineball" Ninez: Captain of the scrap-vessel Quickdraw and considers himself the Ranger's "Godfather", as it was his largely careless gambling that financed its purchase for Jim and John. Later became friends with Jim, and they meet for drinks on Beylix whenever possible.
Jersey: Quickdraw's first mate and possibly Nineball's brother. The smarter of the two.
Eugene "Jolly Brown Giant" Jensen: Quickdraw's mechanic, and a family man who constantly brags about his little kids. Known as the Jolly Brown Giant.
Lynn Owens: Quickdraw's dyslexic pilot and Nineball's unrequited love interest, who only has eyes for the bashful Alek. She and the medic read together whenever possible.
Sandy Birch: An athletic Wren pilot and John's new girlfriend. Worked him over painfully last time they met.
Cadet-Sophomore Alice Remington: A cheerful young lady from a prestigious core family. Haplessly thrust into the Alliance Navy and given command of a patrol boat long before she was ready or qualified, she happened to be the arresting "officer" that took Alek, Dean, and John into custody after the crew was found to have illegal plant clippings and other contraband on the Ranger. She was accidentally killed during the escape.
Happy, Sore Loser, Tattooes, and Freeloader: A trio of slavers and their accomplice, respectively. They served as the spotters for a slaver crew bent on sweeping a Jiangyin town for drunks to abduct and sell, but were defeated in a fight with Jim and Bambi. Sore Loser was later killed during a mule chase, Happy and Tattooes executed by hanging, and Freeloader is serving a sentence of life in prison with hard labor, no parole--fittingly, he lives like a slave.
Roxanne "Roxy" Wheeler: A chance ally when Jim, in need of a reason to pick a fight with Happy, chose to "defend" her. Although Roxy was beaten senseless in that incident, she later proved her formidability in thwarting a slaver's last stand while Jim was away. Roxy remains friends with Jim to this day, and has a major soft spot for him despite her Red-Sonya demeanor.
Clive Stafford: A skilled and determined deputy with an unfortunate habit of fumbling under pressure, Clive was a part of Jiangyin's anemic law enforcement right up until the department's closure in 2512. Clive was somewhat irritable and not well-respected by the public, but fearlessly tackled his job of enforcing the law in the county's half-dozen far flung towns, and did not complain about the lack of support. In fact, with the aid of just two civilians, Jim and Bambi, Clive managed to take down an entire ring of human traffickers in his jurisdiction and rescued 40 people.
Captain Serious, Yuck-yuck, Leadfoot, Porky, Bold, Tinkles the Pilot, et al: These were the remaining slavers that Jim, Bambi, and Clive faced during their frenzied battle to redeem the Sheriff Department's reputation. Leadfoot and Yuck-Yuck were both killed during the mule chase, while Bold fell to his death after being knocked unconscious and then tumbling out the cargo bay of an airborne ship. Serious, despite arming himself with a man-portable artillery weapon, was killed in the firefight. Porky, Tinkles, and three other henchmen surrendered, only to meet their demise at the end of a noose.
Longshirt and Big Bolt: Two Tong thugs belonging to Beaumonde's "Long Road" group, whose job is to keep skilled factory workers from emigrating to the Rim. A favorite tactic of theirs is to hold the worker's children in a sort of human escrow until they agree to stay.
Roger Cupp: The acting Captain of the freighter Earplug. A former Browncoat who shares some of Jim's recklessness but not a lecher. They met while preparing for a possible fight with the Tong thugs, and have already formed a strong friendship.
Khaled Al-Seehan: Cupp's friend and first mate. Very imposing and a little grumpy, but also more level headed.
Rikken Feir: Genial old codger and owner of the Earplug. Is also Dee's father, but is fairly offhand about it and would prefer that she found her own career.
Power Tool: A successful yet lonely man who devotes himself to upper management at his firm on Beaumonde. Has proven to be a true asset for Bambi's efforts to infiltrate high society, hence his moniker.
Fanty: One of the two twins and the first appearance of a character from actual Serenity canon. Fanty has chosen to hire Jim against his brothers wishes on the ground that Jim is more competent than the alternative. In addition to this conniving, Fanty has also shown himself as having a slightly twisted sense of humor.
Deirdre "Dee" Feir: Rikken's daughter, who lives in constant shame of her brief but iconic career as an adult film actress. Having wrapped up her identity in being a member of the Earplug's crew, she is something of a nuisance as she constantly angles to inherit the ship and become its Captain, despite her lack of spacing skills.
Ned the Nose: Demented pilot of the Ranger II and a nervous, nasally archetype provided as one of the enemies in the Fragments of Destiny module. Put up a very inopportune display of resistance in the cockpit before Jim finally lost patience and finished him off, thus gaining control of the vessel.
Jacob "Fatty McChubChub" Kroger: Rotund mechanic of the Ranger II. Contributed next to nothing to the firefight aboard the vessel.
P'Doub: A mononymous pop-star and cheap Borat reference. Judging only from his playful arrogance, it would be easy to take him for just a talentless, flavor-of-the-month hack good only for courting record labels. However, behind all the glitz is an accomplished musician who takes pride in his craft and before stardom, excelled in many instruments and vocal ranges. The music he publishes under his real name is intensely moving, with the sorrowful gravitas of unrequited love.
P'Fake: A high-caliber freelancer who styled himself as P'doub and, under this guise, attended the Sihnon Fine Arts Society Gala with the aim of silencing the elusive Bambi. Although he offered more resistance than most, Bambi prevailed with no meaningful injuries.
Mioshi: A former colleague of Bambi's during her time as a Companion guild operative. She specialized, even among the legendarily adaptable Companions, in disguise and infiltration. Although her current motive is unknown, she used to harbor an inexplicably intense jealousy toward Bambi and made a special point of copying her every move and decision to a tee. Also encountered Bambi at the auction.
Mickey "Pignose" Sundas: A former comrade of John's, remembered mostly for his cutthroat ambition and porcine features. Still a member of the Alliance Security Forces, he unexpectedly contacted the crew to blackmail them, demanding the hard-won Fragments of Destiny in exchange for his silence about their misdeeds.
