History
Director Hearthrow used to be a soldier. He ran Weaver's operation with certain restrictions: surveillance had to be airtight, with check-ins, breaks that had to fall between check-ins, and restrictions on Weaver entertaining herself or drawing attention. He believed that compromising with Weaver would be disastrous, as she'd always take a mile from any concession. He was right.

Jay
Former member of the defunct Azn Bad Boys and Yan's boyfriend. He is Japanese-American, has a bad slouch, and has a shaggy mop of hair that covers his eyes. He wasn't very muscular, but had a cold demeanor, unfazed by working with corpses. He has a distinctly American accent.

During the Slaughterhouse Nine's visit to Brockton Bay, Jay along with Sugita and Yan sought employment as muscle under Skitter. The three of them helped clean up areas in Skitter's territory, living in a garage in the Docks. With their living conditions dismal and feeling abandoned when their leader, Skitter, had disappeared to fight the Nine, resentment quickly grew within the group. After the three helped in moving the corpses of those killed in an attack by Mannequin, they followed Sierra into Skitter's base, knowing Skitter had been absent for days. Armed with guns, they threatened the girls and the kids, planning to evict them and take over the base. As Yan was about to shoot Sierra's hand, Skitter and her pet Atlas returned, easily incapacitating the three.

He realizes Victoria is a cape during an assignment to keep the peace at an assembly announcing a new hero team with Fume Hood.

Once Jasper reveals this assignment was a setup with Mar and Landon, Mar becomes quiet and follows orders.

Minor
Merc for Coil

Mr. Quinlan
Mr. Quinlan was Taylor's math teacher. He appeared only during the discussion into Taylor's accusation of bullying, speaking to defend the school's lack of action in concerns to Taylor's bullying.

Mrs. Knott
Mrs. Knott is a teacher at Winslow High.

Appearance
Mrs. Knott was initially described as tall, broad-shouldered, and had a strong jaw. Her generally feminine style of dressing and her long blonde hair contrasted with her masculine features. However, this passage was removed in a later edit, meaning it may no longer be canon.

Personality
Mrs. Knott wasn't a very hands-on teacher with the advanced students, preferring to give them an in-class assignment and then focus on the more rambunctious majority for the rest of the class.

History
She taught Taylor Hebert's Computer class.

During the conference discussing Taylor's bullying in Hive 5.4, Mrs. Knott was the only faculty member noted to have seated on Taylor's side of the table. However, this may just have been due to the fact that there were no other seats available. This is reinforced in that she is seen to have made little attempt to defend Taylor.

Polka
As Nilbog's very first creation and friend, Polka was his favorite. By the time Nilbog is first encountered, during Sting 26.4, there had been three versions of Polka, as Nilbog's creations could only live for a limited time. Polka was a blue-skinned, white-haired female creature with a long, narrow tail. Her face was narrow with a reptilian structure, having four fangs at the front, with skin that was very smooth and human-like. She wore clothing more appropriate for toddlers.

A fourth version of Polka was also created by Nilbog. It is unknown if this was before, during, or after his captivity and torture at the hands of The Nine. Possible when he was making soldiers to fight Zion. This fourth Polka was the parent of Dot. Dot lamented that she was the child of the fourth Polka, as she considered the third Polka to be the most beautiful and clever of the four, to which Nilbog responded that the fourth Polka was clever as well.

Principal Blackwell
Principal Blackwell was the principal of Winslow High school and was only seen during the discussion of misconduct of Taylor's bullying incidents. She may have been pushed by the PRT.

Appearance
Principal Blackwell was described as "a narrow woman, dirty blond, with that severe bowl-cut haircut," and her dress appeared to be like "attending a funeral."

Pritt
Former child soldier that worked under Coil. Worked for Tattletale after Coil's death. Among Tattletale's mercenaries, she was liked best by Bryce, who found her attractive. She taught him self defense, training him how to use guns and knives in hopes of boosting his confidence.

Renick
Renick was the Deputy Director of the Brockton Bay branch of the PRT. He found himself in command during the Echidna crisis. He was disappointed when Miss Militia brought the Undersiders in but had not arrested them.

Senegal
Big mercenary for Coil.

Sugita
Former member of the defunct Azn Bad Boys. He is in his early twenties and has a thick Japanese accent, thick enough to be barely recognizable as English. His broken English and accent make it likely that he is a Japanese immigrant.

During the Slaughterhouse Nine's visit to Brockton Bay, Sugita along with Jay and Yan sought employment as muscle under Skitter. The three of them helped clean up areas in Skitter's territory, living in a garage in the Docks. With their living conditions dismal and feeling abandoned when their leader, Skitter, had disappeared to fight the Nine, resentment quickly grew within the group. After the three helped in moving the corpses of those killed in an attack by Mannequin, they followed Sierra into Skitter's base, knowing Skitter had been absent for days. Armed with guns, they threatened the girls and the kids, planning to evict them and take over the base. As Yan was about to shoot Sierra's hand, Skitter and her pet Atlas returned, easily incapacitating the three. She threatened them with venomous spiders, then used non-lethal spiders to bite and scare them. She then told them to leave, informing them that they were no longer welcome in Brockton Bay and telling them to find a hospital out of the city.

The Gails
The Gails were Theo's foster parents. Mr. and Mrs. Gail also looked after ten other children, ages ranging from from four to seventeen. Mrs. Gail was not known indulging the children, as Theo noted the event of her bringing him an ice cream sandwich, something that the other foster kids were not rewarded.

"White Fairy"
Parahumans Online user and girlfriend of Mr. Gladly. Her civilian name is unknown, but she goes by the username "White Fairy" on Parahumans Online. She is blonde and taller than her boyfriend.

White Fairy was briefly seen alongside Mr. Gladly in an Endbringer shelter. When Leviathan attacked the shelter, she screamed and buried her face into Mr. Gladly's shoulder. Her presence irrationally irritated Taylor, as she thought of White Fairy as someone who only saw Gladly's "cool teacher" side, oblivious to his actual failings as a teacher. While White Fairy made it out of the shelter alive due to Skitter's distraction, Mr. Gladly was killed by Leviathan.

On Parahumans Online, White Fairy is a veteran user and a frequenter of the Brockton Bay board. She was one of the users qualified to give out the "Brockton Bay Refugee" and "At Ground Zero: Brockton Bay" user badges, verifying eligible users and even meeting them in real life to make sure. She also gave reports on the happenings in Brockton Bay, including one report on a quarantine set up in the aftermath of the battle against Echidna.

Both White Fairy and Mr. Gladly are based on people that Wildbow knew in real life.

Yan
Yan is a member of the Azn Bad Boys. She is Chinese-American and has a petite figure, a ring pierced through her nose, and wore purple eye shadow at the time of the attack. Her voice sounded young.

Yan was part of the group that attacked Emma and Alan Barnes in the alleyway, doing it as part of her initiation into the ABB. Helped by the other members, she was about to mutilate Emma's face before Emma lashed out in panic and Shadow Stalker intervened, taking them all out. Later, a while after the collapse of the ABB, Yan along with Sugita and her boyfriend Jay approached Skitter's base on the Boardwalk, looking for employment as muscle. While still wearing a nose ring, she no longer had eye shadow and sported a thousand-yard stare.

The three of them helped clean up areas in Skitter's territory, living in a garage in the Docks. With their living conditions dismal and feeling abandoned when their leader, Skitter, had disappeared to fight the Nine, resentment quickly grew within the group. After the three helped in moving the corpses of those killed in an attack by Mannequin, they followed Sierra into Skitter's base, knowing Skitter had been absent for days. Armed with guns, they threatened the girls and the kids, planning to evict them and take over the base. As Yan was about to shoot Sierra's hand, Skitter and her pet Atlas returned, easily incapacitating the three. She threatened them with venomous spiders, then used non-lethal spiders to bite and scare them. She then told them to leave, informing them that they were no longer welcome in Brockton Bay and telling them to find a hospital out of the city.
