Animal Control's founding member, Aaron Harding's powers are unrivaled.

What will the world do without him?

There's a reason the sea to the northwest has earned so many menacing names: The Neversail, The Lawless Chillic, The Spawn of Monsters. Bad stuff lives out there.

Jack was worried that life would never change.

Then the wolves showed up.

Meant for plowing snow, Ice Cats -- built by sturdy farm-tool manufacturer Beast of Burden -- are nimble and reliable.

Also very scary if they're running you down.

Our hero, Jack Robberts, harbors a secret guilt -- he is responsible for the death of Animal Control's greatest hero.

She's no hero.

No really. Quite literally, she is an anti-hero.

Seated Lady of Fort Safehaven, Claythorne has seen some dark times. The darkest, she knows, are still ahead.

The controversial Apprenticeship Program was shut down following the death of teenage hero, Avak Tyrell. But where did he go?

"Let's just be glad he's on our side."

Animal Control boasts the world's largest fleet of anaxopters. Need to get somewhere quick? Take an anax!

Shy and modest, Hoover is perhaps the most powerful apprentice the program has ever seen, at least when it comes to lung strength.

Crime in Nikacia has been at a low for over forty years. Still, there are alleys one would be better off avoiding.

He might only be a "glorified gopher" for the fort city of Safehaven, but Pontificus Gordon has been around enough to know when something's amiss. But will help ever come?

Jack had heard stories about carnivorous monsters that burrowed through the snow. He just wasn't sure he believed them.

Jack spent the best years of his childhood in the care of Dr. Walraven. Yet somehow, he never realized exactly how connected to Animal Control the doctor truly was.

Wine-snob (and just regular snob) Eddie Dixon is the fastest member of Vanguard, Animal Control's highest ranking team.

One of the winners of the newly reinstated Apprenticeship Tryouts, Nick Long can handle just about anything -- except being called "Princess."

Grayson Conway is Vangaurd's team captain. He might be young and well-connected, but these aren't reasons to doubt that he is the best of the best.

Willie couldn't care less what you think. He's the best there is, so just... don't get in his way.

Fastest squirrel you'll ever meet. It's a handy trick when playing cards -- real mess-maker when doing the dishes.

"Would you like some tea?" he asked, squatting down and peering after Jack as if looking through a keyhole.

"Uh... no, thank you," Jack said.

"I'll get some anyway."

Kenja is captain of Grey Company, the oldest and most respected Animal Control team. She might not be the biggest member of the team, but when a rhinoceros respects and fears you, others tend to follow.

When her eyes met Jack's once more, he saw a hollowness there, as though she wasn't looking at him at all, but straight through him. She drew closer, speaking into his ear. "Jack Robberts," she whispered, "you don't know who you are."
