Minor Characters

• Charles and Linda Wellington Nick's parents. Charles is a police officer and former English teacher. Linda is a biology teacher who is welcoming of Ki, despite Nick never having a girlfriend before.
• Professor Otto Wisebottom Nick's uncle, Linda's brother. A crackpot inventor who has designed a time machine and the Fractal Explorer.
• Lori Wellington Nick's younger sister, a college student. Was going to be a bridesmaid at Nick and Ki's wedding, but Trish stole and disposed of her car. This necessitated replacing her first with Trish, and then with Patty.
• Todd Wellington Nick and Ki's son from an alternate future. Since Surreptitious Machinations, he has been separated from the time stream, and works for The Gamester. He has been sent to the Negaverse to help the Gamester, and is currently battling the alien invaders.
• Mr. Oshiro Ki's Japanese father. He is a retired businessman with a low view of Americans. He supposedly was less traditional in the past, marrying Ki's Chinese mother without nakoudo when the two were in school, but became more conservative as he aged. While he "lost the bet" with his wife over Ki, he refers to her as "Kyoko." After Ki's breakup with Sam, he was fired from the job that Sam had secured for him, thus causing him to believe that it was revenge by Sam's father, and causing him to distrust foreigners. However, Ki convinced him that Nick was not like Sam, and he allowed him to marry her.
• Mrs. Oshiro Ki's Chinese mother. She is a homemaker, although Yoshi alluded to her "new job" while her husband as recovering. She is open-minded and trusting of Nick, telling him that she will not hold him to any cultural standards other than his own after seeing his attempts to impress her with his knowledge of Chinese culture. While she typically submits to her husband in most instances, she sometimes corrects him, and occasionally punishes him by forcing him to sleep on the couch.
• Yoshi Oshiro Ki's younger brother, a child genius and current college student at age 15, as well as an avid black hat. He has a low view of Ki's coworkers, with the exception of Fooker, whom he regards as a skilled systems administrator. He unwittingly worked with Trudy (who took the alias "s1r3n") in trying to revitalize her domination plans, after apparently designing her mind control chip prior to Surreptitious Machinations before she abandoned them and told him to straighten up his life. Despite this, he completed Project Velociraptor just before Ki's wedding; when he hooked it up to his replication of the MUTEX and powered it up, "Pseudo-Trudy" was transported into his basement. He operated MUTEX at his house under Dwayne's supervision in exchange for his past hacking being kept a secret.
• Chuck Fooker's former next-door neighbor. He spent over a year under mind control by Trudy, helping to frame Fooker and separate Nick and Ki. With Ki's help, rebelled against her and saved Fooker's life during the Battle of New York, and she killed him for doing so. He lingers in Trudy's dreams as an emblem of her guilt.
• Justin Barker Fooker's younger brother. He was considered for a job at the U.G.A., but the U.G.A. abducted Fooker by mistake, and Amadeus chose to hire him instead due to his record-breaking test scores. He held some bitterness toward Fooker for this incident, but came to forgive him after speaking with his friends. He replaced Fooker as James Baud during Rendez-Vous Á Paris.
• Patrick Stewart, also known as Amadeus, leader of the U.G.A.
• Dr. Nefarious Founder and Leader of C.R.U.D.E. Captured in the Florida Keys by environmentalists and handed over to the F.B.I.
• Sean Connery, also known as Moldfinger, a high-ranking agent of C.R.U.D.E. who has had a run-in with Trudy in the past. Currently retired.
• Dr. Not, also known as Dr. Nadda (Surreptitious Machinations), or Dr. Nicht(Rendez-vous A Paris). Another high-ranking agent of C.R.U.D.E., taken into custody when the sabotaged device she received from Nefarious incapacitated her when she attempted to use it on Fooker in Paris.
• Mister Inertia Another high-ranking agent of C.R.U.D.E. Despite his gargantuan size and incredible strength, Dexter defeated him, and the U.G.A. took him into custody.
• Nicole Duncan Dwayne's wife, an attorney, junior partner at Soh, Urbanski, Edwards, Edwards and Minsk (which spells SUE 'EM).
• Sydney Duncan Dwayne and Nicole's daughter. Born August 17, 2001.
• Mr. and Mrs. Glowerhausen Trudy's parents, now divorced. Mrs. Glowerhausen was a hippie-turned-shady businesswoman. Mr. Glowerhausen was a hippie-turned-FBI agent who used his hippie persona to keep track of his villainous ex-wife and daughter. Mrs. Glowerhausen has taken up another identity as head of Diederich Pharmaceuticals, and while she thwarted Sharon's first attempt to find her, she suspects that she will return.
• Trish Marshall Also known as "Good" Trish (see Negas below), she arrived at around Nick's fifth anniversary at GPF, and had a very timid personality, in contrast to her counterpart. Her actions led Sharon and Ki to suspect that something was amiss, and investigated her apartment, where "Bad" Trish shot and impersonated her. Good Trish is apparently recovering in the hospital with Akhilesh Sehgal's help; a pair of broken glasses resembling hers is sitting near Akhilesh's mystery patient. The GPF crew has only now become aware of the fact that there are two Trishes.
• Scott and Tim Former workers of Regional Telecom who were hired by GPF recently in their expansion. Scott and Tim, former officials in the now-dispersed Brotherhood of the Twisted Pair believed at different times that Fooker and Sharon were the Chosen Ones prophesied by their nerd organization. After Sharon helped "debug" the code used to derive the prophecy, they now believe that Fooker and Sharon will produce the real Chosen One as their child. Scott trying to catch the moment of Conception and thus violating Fooker and Sharon privacy is a running gag.
• Patty: A former Regional Telecom worker who was hired by GPF. While she was paired with Dexter on his speed date, unaware of Trish also being brought in, she eventually backed out due to personal issues. It has been revealed that in the past, she did something she considers unforgivable to her fiancé on the day before their wedding, prompting him to end his relationship with her.
• Dr. Akhilesh Sehgal A philanthropic doctor at a local hospital; alienated his Hindu family by converting to Christianity. He tried to convert Trudy, and is the one keeping Good Trish alive through his treatment and personal savings. Although it is unclear to what extent Akhilesh has succeeded in converting Trudy (she is reading her Bible at the end of "Providence", but there is no evidence of her converting), she respects him for his kindness.
• Mercedes de la Croix Attorney, and rival of Nicole Duncan; a ruthless attorney with an almost flawless record. She represented Trent during his libel suit against Fred.
• The Gamester An extradimensional being charged with insuring the temporal integrity of the metaverse. He is apparently one of many others, including the Trans-Dimensional Council and extra-dimensional enforcer Justice. He has played a key backstage role in many events in the GPF universe, most importantly Surreptitious Machinations, and is keeping a constant eye on Nick. Since he is unable to directly interfere with the timeline, he uses Todd to do so for him. However, he is forced to confront Pandemonium directly in the 'Nega' universe. His current whereabouts are unknown.
• Mischief The Gamester's apprentice. She typically possesses a playful and joking personality, hence her name, and once played billiards with the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet as a cue ball. An ongoing bonus series depicts some of her adventures shortly before Surreptitious Machinations.
• Maddie O'Hara Agent #12 in the UGA, and the second best. Initially very hostile towards Fooker, as she was reluctant to defend him during his trial. She also did not relish spending several months with Fooker in Iraq, where the UGA almost captured Saddam Hussein. However, her view towards him improved since he rescued her in the operation against Dr. Nefarious in the Florida Keys. She developed feelings for Fooker, until he returned to civilian life- and Sharon. She seems to have forgiven him for leaving her in Paris.
• Agent #18 Another agent in the UGA, apparently the third best (based on C.R.U.D.E. reports, and that, as agent numbers are multiples of 6, he is the third agent in the series). He has primarily attempted to capture Trudy, interrogating Yoshi as to where S1r3n was, raiding her "wedding" to PC, and pursuing her in a blizzard. He almost captured her during a blizzard, but was severely wounded in the process. He joined the team sent to rescue Nick.
• Socrates A third slime mold, reddish-brown colored, who took part in the resistance during Surreptitious Machinations future. He was particularly desperate for Fred to win the lawsuit. He has unsuccessfully attempted to speak with Fred.
• Sam The "jerk from college that (Ki) almost married," Sam was engaged to Ki, but external pressures such as from his parents, and the rest of the team put a strain on their relationship. Ki was especially upset by the teasing about his not having sex with her, and went to have sex with him. She could not go through with it, leading to his attempt to rape her, and her subsequent breakup with him.
• Craig Ridge An old friend of Sharon's, who works for a major European company. The German replaced him during Rendez-Vous Á Paris, and the U.G.A. found him and erased his memories, convincing him that he had enjoyed a vacation with Sharon.
• The German A master of disguise who disguised himself as Craig Ridge and stole valuable information in Rendez-Vous Á Paris. He presumably escaped (although Justin briefly spoke with Maddie about intelligence services pursuing him), but it is unclear what he will do next, as his employer, Dr. Not, was captured.
• Lynn A programmer who Dexter met at a speed dating session. They planned a second date but she broke it off after meeting a Swedish body builder who owns a vast software empire and rushing off to Las Vegas to marry him. Ironically, some time later he left her for a Norwegian bikini model. Dexter and Lynn met again in the aftermath of the "Fifth Wheel" storyline. She was very grateful to run into him as she was guilt-ridden for snubbing him, "the only person ever clicked with". They are currently "fellow miserable people", seeing if "friends" becomes a more appropriate term for their relationship.
