Find out who the main characters are in the screenplay for Triumvirate II
Hamidi Abdullahi
A mysterious prophet and supernatural protector who understands the forces operating behind Ethen Prest’s rise. Calm, disciplined and guided by a moral certainty that others struggle to comprehend, Hamidi enters the United States knowing he is walking into a trap. His powers make him formidable, but the Black Seal of the Seven Winds exposes his limits and forces him to rely increasingly on others.
Cathleen Henshaw
A former FBI agent now operating outside the system she once served, Cathleen is practical, sceptical and fiercely independent. Having already witnessed the supernatural first-hand, she no longer questions whether demons exist; her challenge is deciding how far she is willing to go to stop them. As Ethen’s regime closes in, Cathleen becomes the human driving force of the resistance, building alliances, securing the weapons they need and ultimately infiltrating the White House. Her journey is one of growing conviction and agency, proving that courage and decisive action can matter as much as supernatural power.
Ethen Prest
The newly elected President of the United States and the demonic entity known as Ebab, The Serpent. Charismatic, theatrical and outwardly reassuring, Ethen presents authoritarian control as renewal, stability and national purpose. Behind the polished political persona lies a ruthless supernatural intelligence that regards democracy, institutions and even human loyalty as tools to be manipulated. Armed with the Black Seal of the Seven Winds and backed by the mysterious Cerberus, Ethen expands his influence from Washington into Europe, transforming political ambition into an attempt at global domination.
George Kelso
A cynical Washington journalist who initially views Ethen Prest as another political spectacle, George is drawn into the conspiracy after his friend Donny Harlow is murdered and publicly branded a traitor. His professional scepticism gradually gives way to personal commitment as he witnesses the collapse of institutions he once assumed would protect the truth. George becomes an essential member of the resistance, helping Cathleen gain access to the White House and eventually risking his own safety to protect Meti. His arc moves from observer to participant, giving the story a grounded human perspective on events that become increasingly extraordinary.
Winston Burnie
A former Gulf War soldier and longtime ally of Hamidi, Winston has lived with the supernatural since Hamidi saved him from demonic captors during the conflict. Now a blacksmith living in rural Virginia, he provides Cathleen with specially prepared ammunition capable of killing demonic beings. Rough, irreverent and grounded in hard-earned experience, Winston brings both humour and emotional history to the resistance. His relationship with Hamidi reveals that the struggle against these forces has been unfolding for decades, long before Ethen entered the White House.
Meti Gebre
Hamidi’s young daughter, whose quiet confidence masks abilities even her captors do not fully understand. Abducted from Ethiopia by Marilyn and Jane and used as leverage against her father, Meti refuses to behave like a conventional victim. Her calmness, intelligence and emerging telekinetic powers suggest a deeper connection to the supernatural mythology surrounding Hamidi. Though still a child, she becomes an active part of her own rescue and a tantalising indication that the conflict extends far beyond Ethen’s immediate plans.
Jane and Marilyn
Ethen’s demonic enforcers, outwardly composed and attractive but capable of transforming into vicious supernatural predators. They operate as assassins, kidnappers and protectors of Ethen’s interests, moving between political spaces and acts of extreme violence with disturbing ease. Marilyn is generally the more calculating and curious of the pair, while Jane is more openly aggressive and impulsive. Their fascination with Meti’s unexplained abilities hints that even they recognise forces at work beyond Ethen’s immediate understanding.
Donny Harlow
A Homeland Security officer and former colleague of Cathleen, Donny becomes her first connection back into the United States after she returns from Ethiopia. Initially sceptical of the supernatural explanation, he nevertheless trusts Cathleen enough to help her avoid Ethen’s new security system and contact journalist George Kelso. His murder at the hands of Marilyn marks a decisive escalation in the story, demonstrating how quickly dissent has become dangerous and turning the political crisis into something personally devastating for Cathleen and George.
