Spendwell P. Roppwash

An "Ace" pilot who distinguished himself during WWI flying combat missions over Germany in the legendary Sopwith Dromedary. Credited with shooting down 7 enemy aircraft, acquired the name "Spinner" from the acrobatic aerial maneuver he performed to escape the clutches of the dreaded Fred Barron. Since the war, he has been involved in various air-transport ventures, and is currently raising funds to launch a commercial airline, Spinnair.

Melissa C. Loudbanks

An internationally respected aviatrix, Melissa's ambition is to be the first pilot to fly around the world. Her marriage to G. Rynder Loudbanks, a wealthy banker, brought together the heritage of the noble Airesborne family and the "new" city money of the Loudbanks. Tragically, her husband died shortly after the marriage in a fall from her airplane. Undaunted, she continues to pursue her goal with great fortitude. To her friends and family she is known as "Misty."

Lance Sallot

A young aristocrat of noble bearing and inclination, Lance is the future eighth Duke of Sallot, a family with ancestral links to the Airesbornes. His father, the seventh Duke, is frail in body and spirit, and Lance has already been managing the family estates for several years. Fair-haired, handsome, and an excellent swords-man, he will be a magnificent catch for some fair maiden but is as yet unmarried.

Rogan S. Coundrell

A successful entrepreneur, Rogan has overcome the financial disadvantage of being born on the younger branch of the family tree by earning his fortune in the building trade. He is influential and highly regarded due to his skillful combination of distinguished heritage and business acumen. An elegant dresser, he frequently wears a long, black cape and is usually seen smoking a cigar. He has recently acquired a Rolls-Royce motor car.

Damselyne D. Istresse

Damselyne, known as "Dame" is the younger sister of Misty Cloudbanks. Delicate and beautiful, she has been courted by some of the world's finest young men, some of whom have performed heroic deeds to rescue her from the many difficulties she constantly experiences. They have all earned her thanks, but none has won her heart.

Gwendolyn O. Veere

When Duke Lofty Aires married the young, beautiful and spirited Gwen, all England rejoiced at her happiness. To become Duchess of Airesborne had been Gwen's life-long dream, and she was doubly rewarded when the 12th Duke gave her the magnificent Airesborne Jewelry on their wedding day. Though he was over twice her age and she was his fifth wife, Gwen did all she could to make a success of the marriage. Sadly, they did not live happily ever after, and she had been living apart from the Duke until his death when she returned to the castle.

Lonsford Glost Aires

A descendent on a long-lost line of the family tree, which he believes has precedent over the existing heirs, "Lon" read in the newspaper about the death of the 12th Duke and has returned to the family seat to make his claim. He has been well-schooled in preparation for assuming his rightful position, being an excellent hunter and avid sportsman. He is also an expert on genealogy, having studied at the Institute d'Affairs Genealogie in Paris under Professor Theroux D. Aiches.

Evonne B. N. Aires

Lonsford's voluptuous wife, who has accompanied him on his quest to return the Airesborne line of succession to the correct branch of the family tree. "Eve" clearly has the attributes to make a fine Duchess, and has been quietly supporting her husband as he makes his claim. Of French ancestry herself, she still has a lilting French accent.
