Characters
- Robert Langdon: A professor at Harvard University, Robert Langdon teaches Symbology. When brought to Jacques Sauniere's dead body by the police, however, his job is put aside as he is thrown into a world of mystery and danger. It is usually from his point of view that the player goes through the game.
- Sophie Neveu: Sophie Neveu works for the French police in the cryptography department. Supposedly the granddaughter of Jacques Saunière (although this is later proved to be untrue), she rushes to aid Robert Langdon in the quest to uncover the reason behind her grandfather's murder. She helps throughout the game by providing useful hints, and some sections of the game are played through her point of view.
- Silas: A murderer from a very young age, Silas was eventually caught by police and sent to prison. Once free, he was taken in by a priest of Manus Dei, Manuel Aringarosa. From here, he found his purpose in life, and set out to destroy the secret that the Priory of Sion have worked so hard to protect. He is one of the key enemies that the player must try to escape.
- Bezu Fache: Bezu Fache is a French police officer who happened to find Jaques Sauniere's body in the grand art gallery of the Musée du Louvre. He suspects that Robert Langdon is guilty of Jaques Saunière's murder. He travels from France to London, trying to find Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu.
- Jacques Saunière: Jaques Saunière was a seventy-three year old man who was a member of the Priory of Sion. He was murdered by Silas in the Grand Art Gallery, in the Louvre. It is ultimately revealed that his job was to protect Sophie Neveu, as she was the only surviving blood relative of the historical Jesus.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“His leanings were strictly lyrical, descriptions of nature and emotions came to him with surprising facility, but on the other hand he had a lot of trouble with routine items, such as, for instance, the opening and closing of doors, or shaking hands when there were numerous characters in a room, and one person or two persons saluted many people.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That’s what their substance is.”
—Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)
“I make it a kind of pious rule to go to every funeral to which I am invited, both as I wish to pay a proper respect to the dead, unless their characters have been bad, and as I would wish to have the funeral of my own near relations or of myself well attended.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
