Title: Who's in each book? (a crosspost from BGG fourm)
Post by: Cadd on February 23, 2017, 10:11:23 AM

Being a perpetual re-reader of the books, I made a list of playable characters present in each book as a sort roster to choose from.
I listed them separated into "Significant Ally" and "Present", as some are definitely less helpful than others, even sometimes more of a hindrance than a help (such as Murphy prior to Summer Knight, really).

The distinction between Ally and Present is of course pretty much arbitrary, and debatable in several cases, but here goes:
(Note: I refer to the character "Billy & Georgia" as "Alphas" below)

Storm Front
Significant Ally: None, actually!
Otherwise Present: Murphy, Susan

Full Moon
Significant Ally: Susan (almost put her as Present here too)
Otherwise Present: Murphy, Alphas (the Alphas don't actually accomplish terribly much in this book, Murphy is an obstacle really)

Grave Peril*
Significant Ally: Michael
Otherwise Present: Susan, Thomas, Murphy (Murphy's out for a lot of the book, Susan & Thomas are as much complicating as helping)

Summer Knight
Significant Ally: Murphy, Alphas
Otherwise Present: In a "know your lore or you'd never know" we actually have both Ramirez and Luccio on screen for about a line each, unnamed.

Death Masks
Significant Ally: Michael, Sanya, Susan ("upgraded")
Otherwise Present: Murphy (might well fit above), Butters, Molly (technically)

Blood Rites
Significant Ally: Murphy, Thomas
Otherwise Present: Mouse (Origin Story! ;) )

Dead Beat* (So many, several are on the border between Ally and Present)
Significant Ally: Butters, Ramirez, Mouse
Otherwise Present: Thomas, Luccio, Alphas

Proven Guilty*
Significant Ally: Murphy, Thomas, Mouse
Otherwise Present: Molly

White Night*
Significant Ally: Molly, Thomas, Mouse, Ramirez
Otherwise Present: Murphy, Butters

Small Favor (as with Dead Beat, distinction is fuzzier than usual)
Significant Ally: Michael, Sanya, Thomas, Murphy
Otherwise Present: Mouse, Luccio, Molly

Turn Coat
Significant Ally: Thomas, Molly, Mouse
Otherwise Present: Murphy, Luccio, Butters, Alphas

*A Variant Card for Harry is fitting.

And to relist the sources of the characters:
Butters and Thomas is in Expansion 1
Sanya and Molly are in Expansion 2
Luccio and Ramirez are in Expansion 3
Mouse is in the Evil Hat exclusive "Mouse & Variants" mini-pack

Would this (http://dresdenfiles.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_The_Dresden_Files_characters) help?
