The protagonist in this video game is Lucas Kane. Raised on the remote Wishita military base by his scientist parents (the death of which severely affected him 10
years previously), he now works as a technical expert for Naser &
Jones bank in Manhattan. Since his childhood, he has had periodic clairvoyant
visions, the disturbing nature of which it is implied had a severe
emotional impact on him as a child and drove him to isolate himself
from others. These visions, apparently long dormant, suddenly increase
in frequency following the events at the diner, accompanied by a
dramatic increase in Lucas' physical strength and the emergence of telekinetic abilities, eventually allowing him to dodge bullets and fly.
Carla Valenti is the primary female protagonist of the game. A police inspector with the NYPD,
Carla is one of two detectives called upon to investigate the murder
committed. She is known among the other members of the department for
her intense work ethic and commitment to her job (which sometimes tend towards excessive, as her devotion to her work is in part her way of compensating for her lack of any personal life, her only friends being Tyler, some colleagues, and her neighbour Tommy).
Tyler Miles is Carla's partner, who has a much more lackadaisical attitude towards life, although he is very devoted both to his job and his fiancée, Samantha Malone ('Sam' as he calls her). His relationship with her has always been close but has also been under constant strain due to her terror of him being hurt in the course of his job.
Lucas' older brother is Markus Kane, a priest at a local church.
He worries about the current state of affairs involving his brother,
but his faith prevents him from seeing very much past that facts,
despite his best efforts.
