The hero of our story, Daijuuji Kurou is down on his luck. Unable to handle the pressures of life at Miskatonic University, he dropped out to start his own private detective business; life as an investigator treats him little better than his student days however, and he's forced to rely on the local orphanage for support between his infrequent cases.

Known by many names and forms through the centuries, Al Azif's girlish appearance is deceptive: she is the avatar of a grimoire, and not just any tome of spells. She embodies the original Necronomicon itself, an icon of forbidden magic eagerly pursued by ambitious sorcerers eager to amplify their powers. In the modern age, Al has developed a mind of her own. Fiercely independent and outspoken, she is fearless in thought and deed, but knows when to run away from those who would use her for unpleasant ends... unless her escape is blocked by a certain bumbling detective.

The protector of Arkham City and its ruler from the shadows, the girl leader of the Hadou plutocracy. Her grandfather and founder of the Hadou industrial dynasty instructed her directly in how to be a good leader, and she matured into a young woman of both intelligence and beauty. The tremendous power she wields, coupled with the crushing responsibility, has caused this youthful girl to be tempered into a maiden of iron.

A nun who runs a church and orphanage in a quiet corner of Arkham City. She's taken it upon herself to provide for the livelihood of Kurou while he pursues his down and out detective business, and she lectures him daily regarding his inability to provide for himself. Despite her sharp tongue she is well meaning, kind and helpful. While she's equally kind to all of the wayward charges she's taken under her wing, it seems that she may hold feelings for Kurou that go beyond sisterly responsibility. Will you choose to entrust yourself to her kind, capable hands?

Leader of the Black Lodge society for the dark arts. With ravishing good looks and a powerful, charismatic personality, he is the true image of a charming demon. To light a fire in those languid, listless eyes, causing acts of evil and cruelty are his only delight. His organization is one of the few openly claiming a connection to ancient, forbidden magic, and the power he wields is indeed fearsome - a power that has led to ennui and nihilism so extreme that he would rather toy with an amusing opponent than crush him utterly.

A mad scientist in the employ of the Black Lodge syndicate. Arkham City is plagued by disturbances created when his bizarre inventions run amok, and the destruction created by his robotic minions is the drumbeat of anarchy by which Arkham now sets its clocks. His aesthetic sense is incomprehensibly alien to others, and notions of good and evil are sacrificed in pursuit of the boundaries of his whimsy. Put simply: he's the comic relief. However, his inventions are not to be taken lightly.

A white angel who combats the Black Lodge and is seen as a hero by most of Arkham City. Metatron tries to dissuade Kurou from confronting the Black Lodge and does not believe herself to be the hero of justice that Arkham's population views her as. She possesses a suit of white, angelic armour that protects her from damage and allows her to fly. The armour is also equipped with a voice scrambler that hides her true identity. Metatron can also manifest wrist-mounted blades and beam cannons on her forearms, and is also a proficient hand-to-hand fighter. "Metatron" is the name of an angel prevalent in medieval Jewish mystical texts and other occult sources.

A black angel who possesses equipment similar to that of Metatron and invariably appears to confront the white angel. He is a member of the Black Lodge's inner circle but stands apart from all of them and shows little interest in fighting weaklings. Sandalphon is a master martial artist and the magical dynamo implanted into his body gives him superhuman strength. In addition his armour provides him with enhanced durability, flight, and a voice scrambler that hides his identity. His pathological hatred of Metatron grants him a measure of resistance to pain and allows him to endure otherwise crippling blows. The name "Sandalphon" comes from the name of an archangel who is noted by some texts during the Midrashic period as the twin brother of Metatron.
