CHARACTERS

Characters from the Waste lands
Roland of Gilead is The Gunslinger. The Tower is his obsession. By reaching the Dark Tower Roland hopes to stop the destruction of mid-world, maybe even reverse the destruction.
Marten was a great sorcerer who had seduced Roland’s mother.
Susannah is the fused personality of Odetta Holmes and Detta Walker. She was drawn from New York City 1964 to mid-world by Roland. She is now a gunslinger.
Eddie was a prisoner of heroin from New York City 1987. He was also drawn into mid-world by Roland. He is a gunslinger.
Mir (as known in legend) Shardik as identified by its manufacturer. Mir is seventy-foot giant cyborg bear.
Jake Chambers is an eleven-year old from New York City 1977. Jake died in New York City at the hands of Jack Mort. He also died in mid-world when Roland let Jake fall into an abyss. Just before Jake fell he said to Roland, “Go then - there are other worlds than these.” Roland thinks this is one of the most important things anyone has ever told him.
Jack Mort, the pusher. He was a serial killer. Mort dropped a brick on Odetta Holmes’s head when she was five-years old. This was the incident that precipitated the Detta Walker personality. It was again in 1959 that Mort pushed Odetta into the path of a train which took her legs. Mort also pushed Jake in front of a bus when Jake died in New York City. Mort’s mind however was controlled by Walter at the time he pushed Jake.
Walter, the man in black is half-human. We don’t know what the other half is yet.
Oy is a billy-bumbler who can talk with limited vocabulary. Oy looks like a combination of a dog and a raccoon. He is extremely loyal to Jake.
Calvin Towers sold Jake a book Charlie the Choo-Choo. Towers also gave Jake a riddle book but the answers in the back of the book were gone.
