Motley Party

The **Motley Party** is a group comprised of Cain's children and the friends they made during their adventures in Bermuda Falls and are one of the main protagonists in the *Divine Comedy*.

## Overview

The Motley Party is a band of ragtag chaotic individuals who came together unintentionally while trying to survive the many dangers that lurk within Bermuda Falls. Over the course of the series the party only gain more allies in part of the members' affiliations with said allies. They would band together to take down monstrous creatures that threaten the safety of the townsfolk, dark malevolent cults that seek to bring about primordial eldritch beasts into our plane of reality, and despotic politicians with hands in demonic pockets.

## Members

### Main Cast

* **Cain**: The son of Satan and Eve as well as the infamous Father of Murder. He is the de facto leader of the Motley Party who is an aloof, gruff, and not so social Nephilim. Seeking to turn his life around by raising his two children to be better people and keeping them out of harm's way, trouble would never leave Cain as he is forced to take on the threats thrown at him by the town, all while repressing his more murderous urges and keeping his past a secret from his own children.
* **Eli**: Cain's son and the older twin brother of Edith. Similar to his father, Eli is stoic, passive-aggressive, and reserved but is kind at heart as well as being deeply protective of his sister. Out of everyone, Eli is the only one who challenges his own father's persistence at keeping secrets from him and Edith which created a rift between the two.
* **Edith**: Cain's daughter and the younger twin sister of Eli. Free-spirited, down-to-earth, and always smiling, Edith is a stark contrast to her more stoic brother and serious father but keeps the family together with her optimism while dealing with dangerous threats.
* **Greta**: A vampire actress who attends the same school as Eli and Edith. Described as a "chaotic misfit goblin", Greta is a mix between gothic and outgoing with a passionate love towards the arts such as acting. She can be somewhat snotty and even a diva but is quite supportive towards those she considers her friends.
* **Tanner**: A jock who is revealed to be a werebear that attends the same school as Eli and Edith, described as an absolute "dudebro" with a single brain cell. Though he initially came off as the somewhat typical jock bully (not out of malevolence), Tanner is kind and loyal.
* **Hercules**: Once the greatest of demigod heroes, he fell from grace due to his defiance against the gods for not keeping their promise of ridding him of the nightmares of his family's murder by his own hands. In modern times, he became a depressed immortal drunkard who kills monsters for coin only to join the party after a misunderstanding between him and Cain.
* **Orkos**: An oversized Neapolitan Mastiff who is revealed to be the embodiment of broken oaths which followed Cain ever since he killed Abel. While Cain detests him as he is a constant reminder of his greatest crime, he is cared for and loved by Eli and Edith of whom the latter affectionately named Orkos as "Chewie".

### Supporting Cast

* **Jody Mills**: The sheriff of Bermuda Falls, she is a close ally of the Mullens (Cain's family) and occasionally helps the party in their cases. Strong, collected, and tough, Jody often served as a maternal figure for Eli and Edith ever since the passing of their mother Meredith. She can also be smoothly sarcastic, often teasing the children as well as Cain of who she would later develop an attraction towards.
* **Claire Jones**: A laid-back, rebellious, yet fun-loving teenage girl who works as a part time waitress at the Gobble Diner. She is also quite resourceful when it comes to mechanics given that her father is a trucker. She would often shirk her responsibilities for some heart pumping activities to which she would drag Eli alongside her with Edith happily in tow.
* **Earl Jones**: A trucker that also runs an auto salvage yard as his day job and the father of Claire. A sardonic yet caring old man, Earl is quite protective of his only daughter and was initially wary around Cain and his family. However, he soon warmed up to them after Eli saved Claire's life and became a close ally to them.
* **Rico**: The owner of Big Rico's Pizza where the party frequently visits. Known for his flamboyant yet childish personality, Rico is a famous pizza chef who provides the best pies to Cain and the twins when they are down in the dumps. Aside from the party (and possibly Sheriff Mills), he is one of the only people around who sees and believes all the strange things happening in Bermuda Falls.
