J&C Characters
There is also a very obvious repetition of characters whose first names begins with the letter "j", and whose last names begins with the letter "c" (Moorcock himself poked fun at this in the novel The Fortress of the Pearl). Some of these "J&C" characters seem to be companions, while others seem to be mentors, and still others are champions (and at least one was said to be the Spirit of the Runestaff, an instrument of the Cosmic Balance).
A summary of "J&C" characters created by Michael Moorcock:
- Jaspar Colinadous
- Jehamiah Cohnahlias
- Jeremiah "Jerry" Cornell
- Jermays the Crooked
- Jerry Cornelius
- Jhary-a-Conel
- Jherek Carnelian
- Jagged of Canaria
- J'osui C'reln Reyr

Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“It is open to question whether the highly individualized characters we find in Shakespeare are perhaps not detrimental to the dramatic effect. The human being disappears to the same degree as the individual emerges.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
