Nan

Orbho Nan - Gohrlay's personal robotic aide. Nan is an "orbho" in the terminology in use at Observer Base while Gohrlay is alive. As an artificial lifeform, Nan has existed for thousands of years and served many humans as their personal assistant.  

Cliph - an Observer who helps Gohrlay reach Earth  

Overseer Doltun - a genetically modified variant of the common ancestor to Neanderthals and modern humans. Doltun is an Overseer who watches for the kind of Interventionist plot that Gohrlay is involved in.

Orbho Anagro - a robot at Observer Base. All of the robotic orbho were created by the Huaoshy.

Wints

Vicktir Klempse - a scientist who works with Gohrlay towards the goal of converting her brain's neural networks into positronic circuits.  

Wints - a roboticist who works to endow positronic brains with human-like minds.

R. Nahan

R. Nahan - a humaniform robot who worked closely with R. Gohrlay (see below), operating out of Observer Base.  

R. Gohrlay - the telepathic humaniform robot that used Eternity as a tool to perfect human existence on Earth. Eventually R. Gohrlay transfers its memories into a genetically modified human who uses the name "Gohrlay".

R. Rycleu reveals the truth

R. Rycleu - travels back in time to the 1930s in order to stimulate the development of positronics. In 1947 she provides information to Trysta and Merion that will help stimulate the development of positronics in England.



Trysta Iwedon - From a time over 10,000,000 years in the future. She traveled back in time with Merion to stimulate development of space travel on Earth in the 20th century.

Merion Iwedon - From about 90,000 years in the future. He traveled back in time with Trysta.  

Captain Ayoost - commander of the Many Sails for two missions to Observer Base during the time when Anagro was directing operations at the Base.

Engineer Lorn-Kru - a Social Engineer specializing in the design of genetic changes that will improve social dynamics. A member of the Ouwui species.  

Many Sails - artificial life form that is an intergalactic space ship with hyperspace drive  

Captain Hooski - commander of the Many Sails for the mission to study Galaxia. A Kac'hin, but often confused with and identified as a member of the Huaoshy species, the first species that developed the hyperspatial jump drive.  

Robot Jeed - chief cook and bottle washer for the Many Sails

R. Lackner - in charge of monitoring the world Imfulri. Has the body form of a member of the Ressese species.

Grean - a time traveling Kac'hin, often confused as being Huaoshy.  

Major Marcel - collected crash debris from the Brazel ranch

R. Fengtol - positronic brain robot working to stimulate research into positronics in North America  

Nora Winsou - a resident of Uvadekoto and the first person to take seriously the task of producing sedrons.  

Stan - the first person in Uvadekoto to conceive a theory of sedronic physics, making it possible to produce sedrons.  

Tilly Winsou - mother of Nora  

Jillia Winsou - sister of Nora
