Cain Morgan[edit]
- Age 25
The main character of Eternal Ring, Cain is the son of a retinue captain of Heingaria. By his father's request, Cain is sent to the "Island of No Return" with a letter from the king explaining his arrival.
A soldier in the Heingarian Security Force directly under the king, Cain is the adopted son of Gillian Morgan. He was found wandering in the battlefields and was picked up by Gillian during the war between Solcia and Aldine which lasted 20 years. Cain's purpose is to investigate the secret research team sent to the Island by the elders. The Island is where Solcia was destroyed and he will find his past on this mission.
Gillian Morgan[edit]
- Age 52
Leader of the Heingarian Security Force and foster father to Cain. He hates the elders that ignore the king and therefore suggests to the king that the team dispatched by the elders be followed and observed.
Ian Martin[edit]
- Age 18
The current king of Heingaria. Due to the abrupt death of his father, he assumed the throne at the age of 15. Many citizens love his peaceful and loving presence. However, he lacks the power to stand up against the elders. All major decisions are made by them. He has no say. He is peaceful and disapproves of bloodshed. He doesn't like the notion of invading other countries for territorial expansion, but is powerless to resist the elders. He sends Cain to the "Island of No Return" in order to learn the true intentions of the research team dispatched by the elders.
