	- '''[[Yasnic]] / [[Yasnic\|Maric Jack]] / [[Yasnic\|Devil Jack]]''' - The central relationship of the series. God's last priest, then apostate, then ex-priest carrying God in a box like a cursed roommate. The bond begins as genuine devotion poisoned by mutual need ("I'm all He has. He's all I've got" - City of Last Chances, ch 23), deteriorates through apostasy and forced separation, passes through a period of codependent bickering ("We fit well together. Let's go home. I'm cold" - City of Last Chances, ch 33), and ends in an explicit "divorce" and a tender profane farewell ("I'm proud too" / "Screw you as well" - House of Open Wounds, ch 51). By the third novel God still heals Jack without being asked and grants a grudging blessing for his descent into Hell, but the faith is a "guttering remnant" inside him. - Pretenders to the Throne Of God, ch 30, ch 32.		* '''[[Yasnic]] / [[Yasnic\|Maric Jack]] / [[Yasnic\|Devil Jack]]''' - The central relationship of the series.

	- '''[[Ruslav]]''' - An unwilling convert God gained by accident and holds by the logic of His own rules.
