Dreamfall: The Longest Journey/Characters


Following in the list of original characters introduced in Dreamfall: The Longest Journey. Please put all examples concerning returning characters from the original game to The Longest Journey/Characters.

Zoë Castillo

Seeker. Nomad. Dreamer.

The main character of Dreamfall, Zoë is a college dropout living with her father and is Desperately Looking for a Purpose In Life. Zoë gets roped into Stark/Arcadia problems when she begins looking for her ex-boyfriend, who was investigating WATICorp's Project Alchera.

  • Action Survivor: Although she can throw a punch, she is no match for armed enemies (unlike April in Dreamfall, for instance).
  • Fan Service: Running around in her underwear in Dreamfall.
  • Ordinary High School Student: Actually, she is a college dropout, but the rest fits.
  • Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Has very pretty, big brown eyes, long black hair and pale skin.
  • The Stoic: Prefers to play it like that in danger.
  • Trapped in Another World: Specifically, in Storytime for half a year at the start of Chapters.

Gabriel Castillo

Zoë's father

Reza Temiz

Zoë's ex-boyfriend and an investigative journalist.

  • Back From the Dead: Though he's definitely not the same...
  • Intrepid Reporter: Working for "The Hand That Bites", which focuses on exposing corporate and government oppression of rights. In Chapters, they've changed their name to "The Hand that Feeds", but it's still the same paper.


Kian Alvane

Soldier. Apostle. Assassin.

The second new playable character in Dreamfall. Kian is an assassin and missionary from Azadi, sent to Marcuria to hunt down "The Scorpion". Kian is deeply religious man, but is not blind in his zealotry, unlike his compatriots.

  • Church Militant: He even calls himself a "missionary".
    • He was part of a religious order that converted people... by killing them. The rationale being, that they might be reincarnated as believers.
  • Master Swordsman
  • My Country, Right or Wrong: Begins to question his empire's crusade towards the end of the game.
  • Super Soldier: He and, by projection, other Azadi Apostles.
  • Sympathetic POV: In Dreamfall, playing as him allows the Azadi Empire to display some shades of gray, and helps April's goals seem considerably less sympathetic than they would have if she'd been the sole protagonist. One of the best moments of the game occurs when the two have a conversation and player control keeps shifting from one to the other, showing the range of his/her dialogue options and allowing the player to steer the character's opinion of the other.

The Prophet

A mysterious robed figure in Marcuria who seems to represent the Six.

White Kin

The newborn White Dragon April helped hatch in The Longest Journey, currently living as a human in the Dark People's Library.

The Six, Empresses of Azadi

The heads of the Azadi Empire and the Goddess religion.

  • Big Bad: The Arcadian Big Bads in Dreamfall.

Alvin Peats

The founder of WATICorp who still commands his company after 150 years.

Samantha Gilmore

Peats's second in command and the public face of WATICorp.

  • The Starscream: She betrays Peats and has him murdered in his moment of weakness.
  • Tomboyish Name: She is commonly referred as "Sam", for example, by Peats right before she kills him, confusing some fans who thought that there was an unrevealed dude named Samuel involved.
