Others
There were others present at Lane's Court whose names were not mentioned.
- The Woman with White Eyes: Looked like a student or other millennial type, jeans, T-shirt and sneakers. White-irised eyes and gaunt face. Had a knack for being unseen, no one noticed her half the time. Grabbed Melanie when she finally broke and tried to leave, had a grip like iron. Was the first to feed on her too, her bite obviously painful and frightening to her.
- The Androgynous Biker: Spent the meeting leaning on a wall watching the room, talking occasionally to Peters and the Italian Man. Moved to intercept Diana when she first approached Lane until she waved him off.
- The Italian Man: Keen-eyed man dressed in a mandarin-collared dress coat. Spent the time talking to Peters or Elijah, or watching the Three.
