[edit] Magicians

[edit] Nathaniel/John Mandrake

Main article: Nathaniel (Bartimaeus trilogy)

One of the trio of main characters in the trilogy. In the first book, The Amulet of Samarkand, he foils a coup and saves the life of the Prime Minister, Rupert Devereaux. In the second book, The Golem's Eye, after assuming a higher mantle in the ministry, (Assistant Minister Of Internal Affairs) he works towards stopping various attacks occurring in London. In the third book, he is caught up in an all-out revolution by spirits on earth, but ultimately manages to stop it, with the help of various others, although it is unclear whether or not he perished in the attempt.

[edit] Simon Lovelace

The main antagonist of the first book, The Amulet of Samarkand, Lovelace was a rising star in the ministry (the Junior Minister Of Trade) until his exploits were revealed. Lovelace first hired a mercenary to steal the Amulet of Samarkand and later after it was stolen and recovered again, he used it to organize a coup against the ministry. For this he summons a powerful spirit named Ramuthra using a summoming horn, but his plan is foiled by Nathaniel and his djinni Bartimaeus. He is killed in the attempt Ramuthra.

He is described by Bartimaeus as good looking in a bookish kind of way. With dark slicked back hair, glasses, and a square jaw of white teeth which he flashes a lot and as the kind of person who would order murders while sitting at a tea party, sipping tea and eating cucumber sandwiches.

[edit] Henry Duvall

The main antagonist of the second book, The Golem's Eye, Duvall uses a golem to wreak havoc in London. He is also a werewolf, and the Senior Chief Of Police of the London police force. He is part of the Golem Affair headed by Quentin Makepeace. After being caught and held at a prison, he jumps out of the window, but perishes because the cell is five floors up.

[edit] Quentin Makepeace

One of the antagonists of the third book, Ptolemy's Gate, Makepeace was, foremost, a playwright. Later, in the third book, he makes plans to pull off a coup. He summons a large number of spirits and imprisons nearly all members of government. Then he summons Nouda into his own body to gain more powers but instead loses out to him and dies. He was also the true mastermind behind the Lovelace and Duvall conspiracies.

He is described as short and round with red hair and wears fancy green clothes. He is flamboyant, dramatic, and arrogant but friendly, though beneath his friendly demeanor, he is quite insane.

[edit] Other Important Magicians

The other magicians in the series include:

• Harold Button - scholar, book collector, teacher of Kitty Jones in the third book, Ptolemy's Gate, and became part of the Interim Magicians Council as Home Minister at the end of the book. Mr. Button was a magician of no little power, able to summon many higher ranking spirits without assistance. However, while summoning a Marid, he made an extremely minor mistake, in which the Marid tore off his leg before the automatic dismissal could set in. Button never truly believed in enslaving the spirits, but in studying their ways.
• Bruce Collins - Senior Home Secretary in the third book, Ptolemy's Gate and has an unknown fate, is presumed dead.
• Rupert Devereaux - Prime Minister Of Britain And The Empire, and self-appointed Chief Of Police in the third book, Ptolemy's Gate. Appeared in all three books, died in the third book, Ptolemy's Gate when he became a hybrid. Formerly had light brown hair and a charismatic personality that had greatly inspired Nathaniel when he was young. Recently before his death, he grew paranoid by all the chances of betrayal within the government and his hair became grey and his face wrinkled.
• Jane Farrar - Assistant To Chief Of Police in the second book, The Golem's Eye and Junior Chief Of Police in the third book, Ptolemy's Gate. Presumed dead in the third book while directing the werewolves against the hybrids. After the Chief of Police's death at the end of The Golem's Eye, Rupert Devereaux declares himself Chief of Police in addition to being Prime Minister, but Farrar is the de facto chief. She also attempts to charm and seduce Nathaniel. She had long black hair, green eyes, long lashes, pale pink nails, and a nice figure. She also wore pomegranate with a hint of lemon perfume.
• George Ffoukes - Member of Ministry Of Internal Affairs in the second book, The Golem's Eye (fourth-level magician) and has an unknown fate. Presumably dead.
• Marmaduke Fry - Senior Foreign Secretary in the second book, The Golem's Eye. He was slain by an imp hidden in his pie between the second book, The Golem's Eye, and the third book, Ptolemy's Gate.
• Ms. Harknett - Former Senior Home Secretary, but when she spoke out against the Prime Minister's policies he sent six Horlas to her house. Appeared sometime between The Golem's Eye and Ptolemy's Gate.
• Clive Jenkins - Secretary of the Ministry Of Internal Affairs in the third book, Ptolemy's Gate, and dies summoning Naeryan (an Afrit) into his body; though only being a first-level magician, he shouldn't have been able to.
• Helen Malbindi - Senior Information Minister in the second book, The Golem's Eye and Senior Foreign Minister in the third book, Ptolemy's Gate, and was killed when she became a hybrid. She was described as having a short temper and being under a lot of stress; her nose turned white and bloodless when under a great deal of stress.
• Carl Mortensen - Senior Home Secretary in the second book, The Golem's Eye, Senior Minister Of War in the third book, Ptolemy's Gate and has an unknown fate, is presumed dead.
• Sholto Pinn - merchant in all three books, and was sent to the hospital at the end of the events in Ptolemy's Gate. When most magicians took off their contact lenses to see Makepeace's play's special effects better, Pinn kept his monocle on. When he took it off to polish it, imps and foliots quickly dispatched the lower levels off the government, while the members of the Council and other higher ranking magicians were taken out by djinn. When three djinn attempted to take out Pinn, the merchant grabbed his stick, and destroyed one with a Plasm, injured another, but was beaten by the third, who used the old man's cane as a club against him. One of the only high level magicians to survive, but does not take part in the Interim Council. He is rotund and wears white clothing.
• Rebecca Piper - assistant to Nathaniel in the third book, Ptolemy's Gate, and becomes the de facto Prime Minister of the Interim Magicians Council at the end of the book, since Ms. Farrar is missing and presumed dead. She has vole brown hair scraped back from her hairline and pinned back.
• Julius Tallow - Senior Minister Of Internal Affairs (third-level magician) in the second book, The Golem's Eye (probably Junior Minister Of Internal Affairs for a large amount of The Amulet Of Samarkand). Accuses Kitty Jones and Jakob Hyrnek of attacking him after they break his car window by accident and subjects them to the Black Tumbler, leaving Jakob disfigured. He dies when one of Mr. Hyrnek's doctored books causes him to mispronouce a syllable while summmoning a female Afrit for the Golem Affair.
• Arthur Underwood - Senior Minister Of Internal Affairs; tutor and master of Nathaniel in the first book, The Amulet of Samarkand, and is killed by Jabor while trying to defeat Simon Lovelace. A middle-level magician, fueled by paranoia. Bartimaues describes him as looking like the old version of magicians. With a white beard and old clothing, and all he need to complete the look was a pointed hat and cape. Arthur thought very little of Nathaniel and incapable of summoning so much as an imp.
• Martha Underwood - Mr. Underwood's wife, who was always very kind to Nathaniel, and was someone he confided his true name to. Appeared only and died in The Amulet of Samarkand, due to being eaten by Jabor. She was a rotund woman with gray hair.
• Jessica Whitwell - Senior Security Minister and Head Of The Tower Of London in the second book, The Golem's Eye and the third book, Ptolemy's Gate, and dies trying to escape the hybrids with Shubit, her djinni, being the only magician with the courage to attempt to stand up to Nouda and the others. She is described as bone thin with cropped white hair.

[edit] Historical magicians

[edit] Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy)

A second century B.C. magician who was the first to study about the Other Place. He was a benevolent master, who wished to learn from the spirits he summoned rather than subjugate them into slavery. Bartimaeus described him as his most beloved master. He was Nathaniel's age in The Amulet of Samarkand (12) when he first summoned Bartimaeus. Ptolemy was the nephew of Ptolemy VIII and cousin to Ptolemy IX. He lived in Alexandria. He was kind to the common people and grew in popularity with them. His cousin was jealous and afraid that Ptolemy with steal his place on the throne, so he made several attempts to assassinate him. Finally, with the help of Roman spirits and magicians, Ptolemy IX succeeded. He also gave Bartimaeus three gifts. The first one is that he treated him as an equal, second he let him travel the world, and third dismissed him when it seemed like they were both going to die, letting Bartameus live on while he died. He is mostly talked about in the third book, Ptolemy's Gate. Bartimaeus often takes his form when in the material world. Bartimaeus also claims that Ptolemy was the only magician who actually trusted enough not to use magic to control him. Ptolemy also created 'Ptolemy's Gate,' a method of reversing summons so that one could travel to the Other Place.

[edit] William Gladstone

Very powerful 19th century British magician, who rose to become a Prime Minister. He conquered many countries and made them a part of the British empire, largely through the means of his staff. At the height of the Czech Empire, called The Holy Roman Empire by Bartimaeus, he talked the commoner Parliament into handing power to him and the magicians, and raised Britain to a powerful empire. His staff is endowed with vast magical powers. This is because there are 6 great entities more powerful than any marid trapped in a space as large as a thimble.

[edit] Solomon

Very powerful magician who lived in the Middle East around 1000 BCE, and had a magical ring, the Seal Of Solomon, from which he could control over 1,000 spirits (Bartimaeus being one of them and apparently Faquarl).

[edit] Commoners

[edit] Kitty Jones

Main article: Kitty Jones

Kitty Jones, a character from Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. In the trilogy, Kitty is a commoner and a member of an underground association where she works against the magicians and government. She has what is perhaps the second-strongest resilience in the Trilogy, second to Verroq, the bearded mercenary's resilience.

[edit] Verroq, The Bearded Mercenary

Verroq, often simply called "the mercenary", is a commoner and criminal involved in several major crimes. He was Lovelace's key to getting the Amulet of Samarkand, murdering a man in the process. Later, he alerted Prague Police that Mandrake was in Prague, and almost foiling Mandrake's Plan to get the Golem's Manuscript. Later, he was Makepeace's lackey in getting magicians to Whitehall when he attacked. All of these were accomplished through the use of his Seven-League Boots. On one occasion, Bartimaeus plunged them into a lake, but Verroq retrieved them. Later, when going to the magical Vaults, Shadows attacked them because of his boots, and he had to leave them. He also has the highest Resilience ever recorded, being able to withstand full on magical attacks from many magical entities. Faquarl notes that the mercenary almost seems to get stronger from magical assaults directed at him. However, he cannot see onto the seven planes (mistakes Bartimaeus in the First book for Squalls Senior), although in the book it says explicitly that he can see all seven planes. Ultimately, when chasing Mandrake, he was painfully worn down by a powerful Pestilence and large number of spirits until his Resilience gave out. Mandrake then took his boots. At one point, he mentions that his "sect" does not allow land ownership or noble titles, proving that he belongs to the same order sent to assassinate Ptolemy in the prologue of Ptolemy's Gate. Like disciples of that sect, he bears the criss-crossed white scars on the back of his hands, marking him as an adept of the academy. He is distinctive because of his beetling eyebrows, black beard, black clothes, pale blue eyes, and deep, calm voice.

[edit] Others

The other commoners in the series include:

• Jakob Hyrnek - best friend of Kitty Jones. While playing cricket with Kitty in a magician's park currently empty, Kitty accidentally hit the ball too far and it struck a magician's windshield and caused him to crash. The magician then had his demon use the Black Tumbler on Kitty and Jacob as punishment. Kitty's resilience to magic saved her from being permanently died with gray and black vertical stripes, the same could not be said for Jacob. For years Jacob isolated himself in his room, gaining a notable amount of weight, unable to bear being seen with his skin as it was; until Bartimaeus abducted Jacob as a hostage to lure Kitty to John Mandrake. At the end of The Golem's Eye, Jacob leaves England and tries to convince Kitty to do the same; though she chooses to remain behind, they stay in touch .
• Terence E. Pennyfeather - leader of the Resistance in the second book, The Golem's Eye. Was once married to a beautiful woman who was sought after by an upstart magician, she rejected the magician and was then killed by his demons. Terence soon after stalked the magician and cornered him. The magician summoned three demons to attack Terence to no avail, Terence then killed the magician in revenge. Though his intentions are noble, Kitty comes to see Pennyfeather as being as greedy as the magicians themselves. He was killed by Honorius, Gladstone's afrit.
• Anne Stephens - member of the Resistance in the second book, The Golem's Eye. An older woman who is gentle enough but is still gifted at pickpocketing and is proud of it. Anne has the ability to see demons. She was killed by Honorius.
• Fred Weaver - member of the Resistance in the second book The Golem's Eye. Able to see demons; he was one of the two to steal Nathaniel's scrying glass in The Amulet of Samarkand. He disguises himself as paperboy. He was killed by Honorius.

• Timothy - a member of the Resistance. He was in the party that chased after Bartimaeus at the beginning of The Amulet of Samarkand. Can 'hear' magical artifacts, the sound being something like the sound of glass chinking. Bartimaeus' attempts to escape alerted the Night Police, the Resistance members fled, but Timothy was never seen again.
• Martin - a member of the Resistance who took Timothy's death the most personally. He scaled the terrace of Parliament and threw an elemental sphere into the magician crowd in hopes of assisinating Devereaux. Although several magicians were killed, the Prime Minister escaped the attack unscathed. After the assault, Martin jumped into the Thames, where his dead body was found the next day.
• Nicholas Drew - member of the Resistance in the second book, The Golem's Eye. He is a reckless and passionate young man, but his fancy words mean little as he is a coward who fless at the first signs of danger. He is one of the two people to escape from Westminster Abbey alive when the Resistance awoke Honorius, Kitty being the other, though the only reason he lived was because he ran away. in Ptolemy's Gate, Nicholas becomes a political activist who motivates the commoners to rebel. He sees Kitty at the Frog Inn and promises not to tell anyone she's still alive, a promise he immediately breaks when he is held prisoner by Quentin Makepeace who summons a spirit into him.
• Clem Hopkins - member and betrayer of the Resistance in the second book, The Golem's Eye and the third book, Ptolemy's Gate, dies when he summons Faquarl into his body.
• George Fox - owner of the Frog Inn, where many commoners would come to discuss the tyranny of the magician's rule in Ptolemy's Gate.

Ms. Lutyens attemoted to defend Nathaniel when Simon Lovelace attacked him in retaliation to Nathaniels attack on him. Later, Ms. Lutyens tried to hit Simon Lovelace but was restrained by his comrades. Because of her attempts to defend Nathaniel, she was fired. Rosanna Lutyens reappears as a minor character in the third book, Ptolemy's Gate, who influences John Mandrake to return to being Nathaniel.
• Sam Webber - employed by George Fox to work at the Frog Inn in Ptolemy's Gate. He was killed by a spirit spy trying to find out information about secret commoners groups.

[edit] Spirits

[edit] Bartimaeus of Uruk

Main article: Bartimaeus (Bartimaeus trilogy)

The main character of the trilogy, after whom the trilogy is named. Bartimaeus is a sarcastic, slightly flamboyant, fourteen-level djinni. He usually provides comic relief in the form of footnotes which provide various views into his past exploits as well as the nature of djinn and magic during potentially tense moments. He favors the form of his erstwhile master, Ptolemy, with whom he had a strong relationship. Bartimaeus is of middling power and prefers to avoid direct confrontation, and becomes progressively weaker as he spends more time on Earth - as do most spirits. He has experience in wall construction, and, as he is fond of saying that he had more than a hand in, "[rebuilding] the walls of Uruk, Karnak, and Prague," however, he does not boast about the hand he had in building the walls of Jericho. In the trilogy he serves as a window into the Other Place. He is of the most awesome djinni of the fourth - level and has a rather uneasy relationship with Jabor ( whom he kills) and Faquarl.

[edit] Faquarl of Sparta

A djinni of both great power and intelligence, Faquarl is a constant contender with Bartimaeus, who always manages to escape from him by sheer luck. He favors the form of a chef, and enjoys spending time in kitchens for unclear reasons. It was later discovered that he preferred the kitchen because of the variety of sharp weapons that could be found there and the extra space. In the first book, he is in the service of Simon Lovelace. In the third book, Ptolemy's Gate, he allows himself to be enslaved in the human body of Clem Hopkins, where he ultimately destroys the will and mind of Hopkins and gains control over his body. Later, he becomes involved in the destruction of London along with Nouda. He gets killed by Nathaniel/Bartimaeus by the use of Gladstone's Staff.

[edit] Jabor

A higher djinni, Jabor appeared and died in the first book, The Amulet of Samarkand. He was a very excitable djinni, preferring action over words. He had little intelligence, but plenty of brute force, and was in service to Mr. Lovelace. He was killed by Bartimaeus when pulled into a rift into the Other Place. He favored a red-skinned, jackal-headed form in the style of Anubis, the Egyptian god of the underworld.

[edit] Nouda The Terrible

An immensely powerful spirit with a long history of destruction, he is summoned by Quentin Makepeace and enters his body. After destroying Makepeace's mind, he is able to control his body and sets about on a systematic destruction of mankind, starting with London. After a time of raiding London with his hybrids, his essence became stronger, and Makepeace's body was destroyed, making Nouda vulnerable to Nathaniel's attacks. He believes that spirits should rule Earth, all as equals, and is manipulated by Faquarl. He is ultimately destroyed by Nathaniel using Gladstone's Staff.

Was also summoned by Montezuma and the Aztec Empire until he discovered a discrepancy in the spell and left their capital destroyed for the Spaniards that were coming. Has high tendency for consuming humans and destroying cities.

[edit] Ramuthra

An immensely powerful spirit, he is summoned by Simon Lovelace, who used a summoning horn, to destroy the British government, thus helping him gain power. This results in Simon's demise and Ramuthra's dismissal from the mortal plane. He has never been summoned before (or since). As he was such a powerful entity, he would have probably need four magicians to summon him. Three were known, but the fourth was unidentified, until the events of the uprising in Ptolemy's Gate. He disrupts the elements around, turning crystal drops of chandeliers to water drops, skin to blue scales, wood to cheese and such. Ramuthra is transparent, and is only visible because things are distorted when seen through him. His voice is like a group of people speaking, all at once.
