Three Oxford students – John (JRR Tolkien), Jack (CS Lewis), and Charles (Charles Williams) - are united by the death of Stellan, John's mentor.

Others
•Aven, Bert's daughter, the captain of the Indigo Dragon. Both Jack and Artus are attracted to her, though she appears to be more affectionate towards Artus (notably after he is revealed to be more than just a potboy), and it is implied she marries him at the end of the novel. She is a strong fighter and is good friends with Captain Nemo. •Artus/Bug, boy (then called Bug) who stows away on the Indigo Dragon after being released from the service of three witches. He dreams of being a knight and becomes John's eager assistant. Later they learn he is a descendant of Arthur, and is thus the true heir to the Silver Throne of Archipelago, and that his real name is Artus. He is attracted to Aven, a feeling that appears to be mutual as the story goes on. It is implied they marry. •Mordred/The Winter King, he main antagonist of the story. His goal is to rule the Archipelago and stops at nothing to reach it. He is also an heir to the throne but loses out on it to Artus. •Magwich, Mordred's spy and assistant. He steals the Ring of Power and the Imaginarium Geographica, though these prove to be of little help to Mordred. He was formerly a apprentice Caretaker to Charles Dickens. •Tummeler, a talking badger who assists the companions. He is given by Samaranth the dragon a shield which turns out to be the lid to Pandora's Box. He is the basis for Jack's future character Trufflehunter (from The Chronicles of Narnia). Tummeler has produced a recipe book and published five editions of the Imaginarium Geographica to the Archipelago, but his Imaginarium Geographica only contains the major lands in the Archipelago and is written mostly in English. •Ordo Maas, wise sage who helps the Caretakers. He is considered one of the oldest human beings and is the creator of the dragon ships. Ordo Maas offers advice to the companions and is the person to reveal Artus' true identity. He sends seven of his sons to watch over the companions; those seven sons were changed permanently into cranes to help watch over the companions. •Samaranth is the first dragon, and possibly the oldest living creature. Like Ordo Maas, he gives the companions advice and, in the end, aids them in the final battle. He is the one to give Tummeler the lid to Pandora's Box.
