Characters in the Icemark Chronicles

This is a list of characters in The Icemark Chronicles by Stuart Hill. These fictional characters are sorted by book they appeared in, and by alphabetical order:

Elemnestra was the leader of the Hypolitan. She was also Thirrin's aunt. She led the horse archer warriors of the Hypolitan, and was married to Olememmnon, Thirrin's uncle. Elemnestra was killed with her mounted archers to save the fyrd and the cavalry, in a battle against the Polypontian cannons.

Beloved kitten of King Redrought, she grows up throughout the first book. In the second book she is very old, and has been kept alive by Oskan's healing powers.

King Grishmak Blood-Drinker is the King of the werewolves. He attacks Thirrin when she goes hunting, but he allows her to live after overpowering her. King Redrought is furious that there is one of the forbidden creatures from the land of the ghosts in his kingdom, and orders him killed. However, Thirrin saves him, as he let her live. Because of this, Grishmak allies himself with the Icemark. Grishmak turns out to play an important role in The Cry of the Icemark, being a great help to Thirrin.He also suggests to Cressida that she should go and help her mother at the battle and she and this suggestion saved everyones life. Stuart Hill said in an interview he based Grishmak on Brian Blessed.

King Redrought is the father of Thirrin, and previously the King of the Icemark. Although he is loud and fierce, he enjoys furry slippers, and dotes on the Royal Kitten, Primplepuss. He is The Icemark's longest serving ruler and had fought off enemies like the Corsairs and Vampires. He managed to wipe out the Polypontian's first invading army, but paid the ultimate price: his life and the life of all others who had been fighting, the Icemark's army as well as the Empire's. He had taken the axe of Lady Theowin and killed the last of the Polypontian army. He is then taken to Valhalla by what can be assumed to be Valkayries for his afterlife.

Maggiore Totus, or Maggie as he is often referred to, was Thirrin's tutor until she became Queen. At this time, he became her other Royal Advisor, along with Oskan. He is often portrayed as a voice of reason and knowledge, and Thirrin trusts him well. He is a man of science, and the various things he discovers during the war, such as Vampires, the soldiers of the once thought to be mythical Holly and Oak King, he drastically changes his outlook on nature. In the sequel, The Blade of Fire, Maggie tutors Thirrin's son, Charlemagne. Maggie hails from the Southern Continent and accompanies Charlemagne when he is Regent of the Exiles.

Olememmnon, known as Ollie, is a Hypolitan warrior who was originally the consort of Elemnestra. He is also the commander of the Hypolitan Infantry. In Blade of Fire, (after Elemnestra is killed) Olememmnon marries Olympia, the new Basilea. Olememmnon is notorious for starting drinking competitions with Tharaman-Thar. In The Last Battle of the Icemark he and Olympia are both killed by Erinor's hordes.
