Sable Morris: 22, Contortionist, Mutant, Act; folds her body into impossible shapes while telling silent stories that somehow everyone hears. Thorne: 23, Knife Thrower, Mutant, Act; blindfolded, he throws knives at a spinning wheel while a volunteer is pinned to it. He never misses. His gift is kinetic certainty — he knows where every blade will land before it leaves his hand. Lark: 20, Aerialist & Bird Mimic, Mutant, Act; swings on silks and trapeze, but seems lighter than she should be. She floats between catches, barely gripping while her voice mimics nightingales, crows, owls, etc. Second youngest performer.

Brass: 25, Metal Strongman, Mutant, Act; bends iron bars, lifts platforms, & reshapes scrap metal into sculptures with his bare hands. Has superhuman strength, does all Circus builds and repairs. Quiet & gentle, hands are scarred but strong. Sol: Mutant, 21, Light Dancer & Glass Walker, Act; walks barefoot on beds of colored glass shards without cutting. Bends light around her body, legally blind — graceful, serene, often hums while she works. Poe: 29, Mime, Living Statue & Riddler, Human, Act; stands motionless on a pedestal painted silver, when someone drops a coin at his feet, he pulls a riddle from his pocket that are always strangely personal. Never breaks character, incredibly mysterious & Caspian’s oldest performer.
