.
This information has been categorized into the books the characters were first introduced, in order of appearance. Because several of the characters exist in multiple books, we will stick to an introduction of the characters, rather than give too much revealing detail about their actions and/or fate.
Kendra Sorenson, a typical 13 year-old girl, is not at all enthusiastic to go on a mandatory vacation to her grandparent's place, while her parents are on a 17 day cruise. However, it is here at Fablehaven, the magical preserve her grandparents oversee, she becomes immersed in a whole new world full of fairies and other mystical creatures hidden to most other eyes. She is described as a good student who rarely takes risks, overly cautious and far from the adventurer and rule breaker that her brother is. But when she is in Fablehaven, it doesn't take long for trouble to find her, as the evil witch Muriel Taggert releases a powerful demon named Bahumat. The situation becomes desperate when everyone but her is captured and she must risk her own life to seek the Fairy Queen for help. As a result of her heart-felt supplication to the Fairy Queen, she becomes fairykind, a status which gives her certain magical abilities to aid her in her subsequent adventures, in which some of them are: she can see in the dark, she can energize dormant items, she can talk several fairy languages, and she can issue commands to the fairies in the name of the Fairy Queen.
Seth Sorenson
Seth Sorenson is Kendra's younger brother, who starts the series at age 11. He has a much more outgoing, risky, curious, and adventurous personality. Seth has great courage, almost too much! However, he has little patience, and he doesn't always think things through. Because of this, he tends to be the source of mischief as the story continues. After learning many lessons the hard way, he eventually becomes more responsible and succeeds in overcoming many obstacles. His efforts against dark forces eventually mark him with the powers of a shadow charmer that, like his sister with her fairykind abilities, he is able to use through the series to successfully complete nearly impossible tasks. Some of his powers include that he can speak different languages that only dark creatures speak, he can feel the presence of zombies and other otherworldly creatures, and he, along with his sister Kendra, can unite and become a dragon tamer, since Seth cant be paralyzed and Kendra can keep her mind clear.
Stan Sorenson
Stan Sorenson is Kendra and Seth's grandfather on their father's side. He and his wife Ruth have not been a large part of the lives of their grandchildren until Fablehaven. He is the caretaker of Fablehaven. Grandpa Sorenson leaves clues about the true nature of the preserve, in hopes that Kendra and Seth will discover the truth that it is a preserve for magical creatures. He is a strict rule enforcer, though Seth still finds ways to get around them. He lives on Fablehaven with his wife knowing that it is dangerous, but he is capable. However, bad things happen, and in the first book he is captured by a witch who is endeavoring to free a demon named Bahumat.
Ruth Sorenson
Ruth Sorenson is Stan's wife, and Kendra and Seth's grandmother. She used to teach college history, and is an expert masseuse. She is missing from the first part of book one, and Stan explains that she is away visiting a relative. But she turns out to be the pet chicken living in the house named "Goldilocks". When Kendra and Seth discover the chicken is their grandmother, they seek the witch's help to change her back. After she is restored, she explained later that she had previously lost a confrontation with a Jinn, who turned her into the chicken. Ruth leads the assault on Muriel at the Forgotten Chapel, in hopes to stop her attempts to free Bahumat and release Stan and Lena. She fails and is captured leaving Kendra alone to save them.
Dale Burgess
Dale is the grounds keeper at Fablehaven. He is a quiet, reserved man who helps Stan Sorenson out with chores and general upkeep of the preserve. Kendra spotted him giving the magical milk to the fairies, and he attempts to mislead her into believing it was not for human consumption. It is revealed that one of the biggest reasons he is staying at the preserve is to take care of his catatonic brother, Warren. Dale is second cousin to Stan Sorensen. He plays only minor, but helpful roles in subsequent books.
Lena Burgess
Lena was introduced to Kendra and Seth as the elderly housekeeper to Grandpa and Grandma Sorenson. She was revealed after Kendra and Seth learn the truth about Fablehaven, as a former Naiad who was married to Patton Burgess, a former caretaker of Fablehaven. She was captured by Muriel and Bahumat in the first book, and was unwillingly restored as a Naiad and returned to the pond by the fairy army by the end of the book. In the Second Book, Kendra goes to see if Lena will return, but the other Naiads take Lena away. She dies in the third book to help stop the plague.She was brave, kind, and helpful in the third book.
Maddox Fisk
Maddox Fisk, a grizzly looking mountain man, is one of Grandpa's friends and a fairy broker, which means that he catches and sells or trades fairies. He presents to the Sorensons his collection of fairies that he had gathered from around the world. In book 2 it is mentioned that Maddox went on a mission to the secret preserve in Brazil but contact with him was lost. Rescue attempts were made, but unsuccessful.
Hugo
Hugo is a golem, a manufactured being made of soil, rocks, and clay, animated by a powerful spell and given rudimentary intelligence. He has no will of his own and will do whatever he is told. However, he was destroyed in the battle against Muriel and Bahumat. After the battle, the empowered fairies rebuilt him, turning him into a true golem and giving him a spark of free will. Hugo is very strong, about 10 feet tall, and has the general appearance of a large ape made of dirt and rocks with disproportionately larger hands and feet. He is a powerful ally throughout the entire series.
Doren and Newel
Newel and Doren are satyrs. They are introduced in the series as Kendra and Seth are inadvertently stealing stew from an ogress. The satyrs are light hearted and fun, but they can be conniving. They tell Seth that if he brings them the batteries so that they can watch their portable television they will give him gold. Seth does bring them batteries and they give him gold which they have stolen from the troll, Nero. The satyrs enjoy chasing hamadryads, and playing tennis, and are sometimes invited to parties inside the house. They are described as the "ultimate fair weather friends" and detest work.
Muriel Taggert
Muriel is the first villain of the Fablehaven series. She used to be the wife of a previous caretaker, but she became enamored with dark magic and witchcraft. For her crimes she was imprisoned in a shack on the grounds of Fablehaven, held from using magic by a rope with thirteen magical knots tied in it. The knots could only be undone by a human who asked for a favor of their own free will. The person would blow on a knot and Muriel would use the magical power released by unraveling the knot to grant the person a favor. She was freed by Kendra and Seth when she used the power of the final knot to transform Grandma Sorenson from a chicken to her human self. She then attempts to free the demon Bahumat and overthrow the preserve.
Mendigo
Mendigo is a wooden puppet held together with metal hooks at the joints. He used to be a small toy that Muriel the witch created to keep her company, (she called him a limberjack). When she was freed she used a spell to make him human size and gave him golem like intelligence. He follows any order given by his master. He initially followed orders from Muriel, until fairies turned his will to take orders from Kendra. From this point on he becomes a strong ally. He is quite a bit stronger than he looks, and he can carry two people at once while running. He is later destroyed in the fourth book, but is later restored by a wizard
The Fairy Queen
The Fairy Queen introduces herself not as "a fairy" but as "the fairy" the mother, the eldest sister.She is not truly a fairy, but also a unicorn, who, according to Bracken,is also the mother of the first. She does not dwell on earth, but in a different realm where she cannot be tainted by dark magic. Her only portals to the human world is through her shrines located on some of the magical preserves. The fairy queen shrine at Fablehaven is located in a beautiful park, on an island in the middle of a naiad pond. Unworthy visitors are instantly obliterated as goes the story of the caretaker who was turned into dandelion fluff. Kendra, however, must visit the Fairy Queen for help to save her family, and Fablehaven from Muriel and Bahumat. The Fairy Queen spares her life and through the experience, makes her fairykind, giving her many of the powers of the fairies. With her help Kendra and the empowered fairy army defeat Muriel and Bahumat.
Bahumat
Bahumat is an ancient demon who plagued the Fablehaven area it was founded. Some Europeans imprisoned him in exchange for acknowledgment of ownership of the land that he had terrorized. Fablehaven was founded on this land. He is bound by knots similar to those that bound Muriel, but in greater multitude. He was never bound by the treaty of Fablehaven, and therefore Bahumat has to overthrow the treaty to escape Fablehaven. Bahumat is not seen till the end of the first book as Muriel is trying to release him. She succeeds, but the fairies prevail in the end and imprison him underground.
Scott and Marla Kate are Kendra and Seth's parents. They have only minor roles in the series as they are oblivious to the magical world their children have been thrust into. This changes at the end of book 4, when we find out the Society of the Evening Star has abducted them.
A silver winged, blue haired fairy who is of a more serious nature than most other fairies. She appears in the first book a few times, including taking the lead of the fairy army at the battle of the Forgotten Chapel. However, she is not introduced by name until the second book when she makes Mendigo follow Kendra's orders. She is an extremely reliable fairy and is the fairy who raised Raxtus.
Ephira Burgess
Ephira made her first appearance in the first book when Kendra saw her on Midsummer's Eve and again at the Forgotten Chapel where she attempted to help Muriel set free Bahumat and destroy the preserve. She is described as a female apparition in black flowing garments that can entangle others in darkness, and is a dominant character in the third book. She used to be a beautiful hamadryad that fell in love with a former Fablehaven groundskeeper, Marshal Burgess, who left her for another woman. Being a hamadryad, she was linked to a specific tree. After the Sphinx set the Draconic demon Prince(Navarog) free, he retrieved the revenant's nail and drove it into the tree. With this evil power, the demon Kurisock merged with Ephira's tree. With Ephira's enhanced power from the nail, and Kurisock's aid, she was able to turn creatures of light into creatures of darkness, started the dreaded Shadow Plague.
Christopher Vogel is an agent of the Society of the Evening Star. He met Kendra and Seth outside their school using the name Errol Fisk. He impressed them with his magician's skills, and told them he was sent by Coulter Dixon to get rid of the kobold Case. He convinced Seth to break into a mortuary to get a frog shaped statue, who turned out to be the demon - Olloch the Glutton. He tried to convince Kendra and Seth to accompany him on another mission, but they were warned by Grandpa Sorenson that he was not a friend, and likely a member of the Society of the Evening Star, which he actually turned out to be. He was a boyfriend to Vanessa Santoro in book two while the duo were working for the Society. At the end of book two, Errol dies.
Vanessa Santoro
Vanessa is a friend of the Sorensons, with a strikingly beautiful appearance, and a fancy souped up sports car. She first appears at Kendra and Seth's home. She has been sent to pick them up and take them to Fablehaven, escaping Errol. She is presented as a keeper of magical creatures. She is a Knight of the Dawn, and helps fellow knights Coulter and Tanu with their efforts to find the secret artifact hidden at Fableahven, until she is revealed as a narcoblix and traitor. Her abilities give her power to control others while they are sleeping. She had been secretly working for the Society of the Evening Star for a while by the time she was revealed. Once her plan is thwarted she was imprisoned in the Quiet Box, but leaves a message with Kendra revealing the Sphinx as a traitor. She is hoping to be released from confinement, expressing her desire to switch sides and help them defeat the Sphinx. In book four, Vanessa provides steady information, but has one last "big secret" she will not tell until halfway through book five. Vanessa is a Narcoblix, which means she can control people in her sleep.
Tanugatoa "Tanu" Dufu
"Tanu", as he says people call him, is a large Samoan who is introduced to Kendra and Seth as an expert on potions. He is a Knight of the Dawn, and was brought in to help recover the artifact from Fablehaven. He gave Seth a mild fear potion and Kendra a mild shame potion when he was introducing them to his work. His potions come in handy throughout the series. He helps defeat the artifact guardian in the inverted tower with the aid of an enlarger potion.
Warren Burgess
Warren is only slightly mentioned in the first book. We meet him for the first time in the second book, but as a catatonic albino living in a cabin. No one could explain Warren's condition, or how he got like that, though efforts were made to restore him. His brother Dale cared for him for almost two years before he emerged from his catatonic state, which happened when Seth defeated the revenant in the second book. He is a member of the Knights of Dawn and was on a mission to find the treasure of the Fablehaven preserve before he was turned catonic/albino. At the end of Book 2, and throughout the rest of the series Warren proves himself to be an experienced adventurer and key player.
Coulter Dixon
Stan Sorenson describes Coulter Dixon as one of his oldest friends, and one of the most stubborn men he knows. Coulter is introduced to Kendra and Seth as an expert on magical items, relics and talismans. He is a Knight of the Dawn, and is brought onto the preserve along with Tanu and Vanessa to help recover the secret artifact. He teaches Kendra and Seth about some of the magical items in his possession, including a magical glove that renders the wearer invisible, how a distractor spell works, and a magic cocoon that allows the occupant to survive any environment. He and Kendra have a feud because he believes that there are some places that it is ok for a male to go but not for a female, which he calls "an outdated sense of chivalry".
The Sphinx
Kendra and Seth were introduced to the Sphinx in the second book. He was well received in the magical community as the most trusted and wise ally. He is described as a black man with short beaded dreadlocks. The Sphinx is the one who tells Kendra she is fairykind, and offers to help her develop her new abilities. He's been a leader for the cause for hundreds of years, until suspicions arise when Vanessa reveals that he is a traitor. It is discovered that his ultimate quest is to obtain all the keys to the demon prison - Zzyzx, becoming the greatest enemy of the Knights of the Dawn. The Fairy Queen tells Kendra that he is a man and not another being in disguise, and attributes his age to magical tampering.
A tall Asian looking man, he is the Sphinx's bodyguard. He helps bring Seth and Kendra to the Sphinx. He never says a word. After the Sphinx is revealed as a traitor, it is found to be a powerful viviblix, a being capable of reanimating the dead.
Casey Hancock, who introduces himself as "Case" is a goblin-like creature called a kobold. He appears in Kendra's class at school, but only she can see him for what he really is. Everyone else sees him as a blond haired, handsome boy. As Kendra's friends swoon over his good looks, he asks them out on a movie date. He even goes as far as kissing some of her friends, revealing a major case of bad breath, causing them to avoid him. Errol Fisk helps Kendra and Seth get rid of the kobold by having Seth steal a statue that he says is sacred to kobolds. Supposedly, when Case received the statue, he immediately left, under a compulsion to return it to a kobold shrine in the Himalayan Mountains.
Olloch the Glutton
Olloch the Glutton is a demon who spends most of his time in a state of dormancy. While dormant he appears to be a statue of a frog. Seth is tricked into feeding the statue, thereby awakening the demon. The statue bites Seth, marking him as the target of the demon. The demon slowly comes to life and begins an unrelenting quest to find and devour Seth. He eats along the way, and as he eats he grows in size and power. He manages to breach the barriers of Fablehaven, and eventually succeeds in hunting down Seth, but Seth is protected by the fairy cocoon given to him by Coulter. Olloch consumes the cocoon and Seth passes through the demon's digestive system inside this cocoon and ...comes out the other side... safely. This satisfies the demon's quest, and Olloch returns to his dormant state.
Navarog
When the Sphinx replaced the current occupant of the Quiet Box with Vanessa, he took into custody the previous occupant. Graulus the Demon revealed to Seth that the prisoner the Sphinx took out of the Quiet Box was in fact, Navarog, the Demon Prince, Lord of the Dragons, and that the Sphinx released him to retrieve the revenant's nail, starting the ball rolling that would plunge Fablehaven into the Shadow Plague. Once he gave the nail to the Demon Kurisock he left Fablehaven to perform tasks given him by the Sphinx that would eventually set the stage for the plot of book 4.

Gavin's father, Chuck Rose, was an expert dragon tamer, and kept his son a secret. However, Chuck was eventually killed by a dragon. Gavin, a natural dragon tamer, can talk to dragons and is not affected by dragon's ability to mind control. He also proves himself quite skilled at combat on the top of Lost Mesa when the party is ambushed by kachinas. At the end of book 3, Gavin goes on another mission and sends a letter to Kendra saying that he is interested in getting to know her better.

This information has been categorized into the books the characters were first introduced, in order of appearance. Because several of the characters exist in multiple books, we will stick to an introduction of the characters, rather than give too much revealing detail about their actions and/or fate.
Book 1 - Fablehaven
The exciting stories of the Fablehaven series are revealed to us through the personal experience of Kendra and Seth Sorenson, who are the main characters of the novels.Major Characters
Kendra SorensonKendra Sorenson, a typical 13 year-old girl, is not at all enthusiastic to go on a mandatory vacation to her grandparent's place, while her parents are on a 17 day cruise. However, it is here at Fablehaven, the magical preserve her grandparents oversee, she becomes immersed in a whole new world full of fairies and other mystical creatures hidden to most other eyes. She is described as a good student who rarely takes risks, overly cautious and far from the adventurer and rule breaker that her brother is. But when she is in Fablehaven, it doesn't take long for trouble to find her, as the evil witch Muriel Taggert releases a powerful demon named Bahumat. The situation becomes desperate when everyone but her is captured and she must risk her own life to seek the Fairy Queen for help. As a result of her heart-felt supplication to the Fairy Queen, she becomes fairykind, a status which gives her certain magical abilities to aid her in her subsequent adventures, in which some of them are: she can see in the dark, she can energize dormant items, she can talk several fairy languages, and she can issue commands to the fairies in the name of the Fairy Queen.
Seth Sorenson
Seth Sorenson is Kendra's younger brother, who starts the series at age 11. He has a much more outgoing, risky, curious, and adventurous personality. Seth has great courage, almost too much! However, he has little patience, and he doesn't always think things through. Because of this, he tends to be the source of mischief as the story continues.
