List of Minor Characters

Major General J. Golding Frederick
A high-ranking member of the IGR. Takes Agent Park away to Zone Z when he is suspected of leaking information to Ricky Q, promoting Agent McCabe to the rank of Agent in his absence. Leads the IGR effort on New Jupiter when the Rumor makes landing and orders McCabe to execute Krejjh, despite this being a violation of the Treaty that ended the  Human/Dwarnian war. Her office appears to be Room 1013 in ADVANCE Labs/CIU Headquarters, where she tortures Violet Liu for information by shooting Arkady Patel in the leg. Believes that "the willingness to abandon torture as a strategy stems from rather a lack of imagination". She is knocked out when Violet Liu injects her with a syringe of heptocaldrin, but survives despite the later explosion on the lab's penthouse floor.

Junior/Acting Agent Goodman
A Junior Agent working under Agent Coleman, who is "loaned" to the Iris I/Rumor investigation following Agent Park's disappearance to Zone Z. Has a dislike of the song Whisky In the Jar due to having been forced to listen to it "at least fifteen times" in the twelve hours following the Rumor crew's decision to execute Plan B, and threatens to shoot Violet Liu on New Jupiter if she continues singing it. He later assumes the role of Acting Agent following Agent McCabe's presumed defection to the side of the Rumor crew, and gives all Agents the order to "shoot to kill [Agents Park and McCabe]", prompting Park to state that he "never liked that guy".

Ensign Best
The transcriber of the Iris casefiles, who is later found to be the real source of the leak to Ricky Q and apprehended, causing Agent Park to be released.

Agent Clark
An Agent working with Agents Park,  McCabe and  Goodman on the Rumor case, who helps to "direct"  Ensign Best in transcribing the reports. Agent Park states that Clark "can be bribed" if necessary.

Agent Seiders
An Agent who works alongside Agent Clark in directing the transcripts of the Iris casefiles. During the altercation on New Jupiter, they lead Team Two into the Rumor in an attempt to apprehend the crew, whom they believe are hiding inside, and are subsequently killed when the ship explodes.

Officer Wu
An IGR officer whom Violet Liu impersonates in order to gain entry to CUI Headquarters after the Rumor touches down on New Jupiter. It is subsequently revealed that Officer Wu is not on duty that night.

Agent Bauman(n)
An Agent credited with assisting with the Iris casefiles. Mentioned by Park as "sweeping another area" during the altercation on New Jupiter. Their name is spelt "Bauman" in the episode credits, but "Baumann" in the Episode 10 transcript.

Agent Cross
An Agent credited with assisting with the [Iris]] casefiles. Mentioned by Park as "sweeping another area" during the altercation on New Jupiter.

General Jahansooz
An high-ranking official in the Intergalactic Republic assisting with the Iris casefiles, who may also have overseen the capture of Thasia when they arrived on  New Jupiter attempting to bring the  nanoswarm to the IGR.

Nan Walker
Childhood friend of R.J. McCabe on  Martineau.

Emily Craddock
A close childhood friend of Thasia who grew up alongside them on Halton Station in the Neutral Zone. She provided the voice for the software program E.L.L.A. and had a test account on the system created for her by Alvy Connors. She was carrying out "recon" at ADVANCE, working in PR, when she discovered Thasia being held prisoner there in a tank and aborted her mission to free them. She worked alongside Other Violet Liu, and sent a message to Alvy Connors via her test account in an attempt to warn him about the IGR's plot. Due to her weak lungs, she was severely impacted by the nanoswarm infection and died after just three days.

Alvy Connors
A talented computer engineer who had a security consulting business on New Jupiter and worked at ADVANCE alongside  the other Violet Liu and Emily Craddock. He and Brian Jeeter were friends, having worked together at the bar Jamie Price's on Ryedell Station in the Neutral Zone, after which the two kept in touch, trading occasional information and favours. He went to the Neutral Zone to "learn whatever he could about alien tech", and was interested in Dwarnian coding languages. He set up tech on the Iris I where he worked alongside Violet Liu, and was killed in the away shuttle explosion.

Intermediate in Zone Z
An unnamed "intermediate" working with the resistance inside Zone Z, whom Agent Park was able to contact when he turned against the Regime, and give his password to access the security systems on New Jupiter.

Roderick Quincy Cresswin Jr. (Ricky Q)
A member of the Cresswin family, who owned and founded Cresswin Landing, formerly the largest prison in the galaxy. He went against his family in order to help organise the Cresswin Landing uprising, but then disappeared and sold out the movement "three months before go time", throwing operations into jeopardy. Since then, he has used the alias Ricky Q to work with various criminal organisations. He went to school with both Agent Park and Ensign Best, whom he bribes to alert him if one of his aliases appears in an  IGR report. He is apprehended by the IGR after Sana Tripathi reveals his identity during their meeting on Hafizah.

He describes himself as "a man with a weakness for good stories and bad moonshine". Has a mutual ongoing flirtation with Sana Tripathi, and appears to be romantically interested in her. His real name (per speculation from the IGR) may be Alexander Cole or Jonathan Johnson.

Thasia
A religious wanderer. On their travels, they met and befriended the Swarm. When they approached the IGR on New Jupiter with a warning that factions within the Dwarnian government were advocating war, the IGR imprisoned them and tortured them for information. The IGR also took the part of the Swarm that Thasia had brought and began Project Sentry, reprogramming and converting the Swarm into spy tools that they used to acquire the Iris Files. The cause of Thasia's disappearance was widely unknown but it was the catalyst for the Human-Dwarnian War.
