The Society – The Characters
Traduction : Aurélie 

I made a list of the main characters in the saga.

As you’ll read the novels, you’ll meet new ones but their roles are not very important so they don’t deserve any particuler attention. I didn’t mention the network’s staff on purpose since I created a special index and you can find it in the previous article Finally , instead of telling you who is member and who is not in The Society , I’d rather give you the list of characters as they appear in the books.

If you want to discover if they belong to this mysterious organization, you know what you must do…..

Tome 1: Between the Two of Us?

Mickaëlla VALMUR, 27, philosophy teacher in the St Haymard high school. Henri Valmur’s widow , a writer and philosopher * The high school’s name isn’t mentionned in « Between the Two of Us ». It was mentionned in another tome. I thought it would be great to give you this name.

Henri VALMUR, 64, writer and philosopher. He died 2 months before the beginning of the story .

Samuel FORGEAT, 35 , math teacher in St Haymard high school. Father to be for the 3rd time

Aléxis DUIVEL, officially 17… off the record he is older. Officially a high school pupil ,… off the record he seems to be more gifted than his mother. There are many particular information on this character but I’ll let you discover it by yourself.
