The Sinking City 2 character reference currently centers on Calvin Rafferty, Faye Bennett, Ghostly Figure, and Lorelei, with Calvin and Faye carrying the clearly defined lead roles while the latter names should stay spoiler-light.
Set in 1920s Arkham after a supernatural flood, the game follows its characters through drowned streets and Lovecraftian survival horror. Character identities can reveal narrative turns, so the two leads receive fuller context while the remaining entries stay deliberately brief.
Quick answer: the central cast
Calvin Rafferty is the player-controlled viewpoint, while Faye Bennett is the other central figure in a story built around their relationship. Ghostly Figure and Lorelei are recognition-only entries for readers who want the names without learning their significance early.
At a glance: character roles
| Character | Role |
|---|---|
| Calvin Rafferty | Playable protagonist and central viewpoint |
| Faye Bennett | Major supporting lead and Calvin’s counterpart |
| Ghostly Figure | Spoiler-sensitive named figure |
| Lorelei | Spoiler-sensitive named character |
The compact descriptions are intentional. In a mystery-driven horror story, identifying a character’s relationships or place in the plot can reveal far more than the name itself.
How to use this spoiler-aware character list
Choose your stopping point before opening the individual entries. The comparison table works as a low-context index, while the longer reference is better saved for names you already recognize.
| Reader goal | Best route |
|---|---|
| Skim names only | Stop after the at-a-glance table |
| Understand the central leads | Read the Calvin Rafferty and Faye Bennett entries |
| Check a name during a playthrough | Return when that character becomes relevant |
| Review the cast after finishing | Read the entire reference and FAQ |
The entries are ordered by how much reader-safe context they can provide, not by appearance or importance. This avoids implying an encounter sequence or revealing where anyone enters the story.
Open only entries for names you have already encountered if you are reading during your first playthrough.
Complete reference for The Sinking City 2 characters
Calvin Rafferty
Calvin Rafferty is the main playable protagonist. His journey draws him deeper into Arkham’s mysteries as the flooded city descends further into supernatural chaos.
Players experience the drowned alleys, hostile creatures, and unfolding horror through Calvin. Andrew Wheildon-Dennis provides his voice.
Faye Bennett
Faye Bennett is Calvin’s major narrative counterpart and one of the story’s two central figures. She is portrayed as bold, highly intelligent, and determined, placing her well beyond the role of a background supporting character.
Her connection with Calvin anchors a story about devotion, self-sacrifice, loneliness, and what two people may do to each other—and for each other—when survival is at stake. Gemma Elizabeth Whelan provides Faye’s voice.
Ghostly Figure
Ghostly Figure belongs in the named character reference, but its identity and story function are spoiler-sensitive. The name is included for recognition without disclosing encounter details, affiliations, or connections to Arkham’s wider mystery.
Lorelei
Lorelei is a named character whose identity, relationships, affiliations, and story function are best discovered during play. This entry therefore remains name-only rather than revealing the context surrounding her.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does The Sinking City 2 bring back the first game’s protagonist?
No. The sequel tells a standalone story with a fresh cast, so you can begin here without knowing the original game’s characters.
Is Faye Bennett playable?
Faye’s playable status is unclear. She is a central story character, but Calvin is the identified player-controlled protagonist.
Do monsters and bosses belong in this character list?
Not by default. Generic enemies, creature types, and bosses belong in a separate bestiary unless the story treats one as an individually named character.
Can this character list expand?
Yes. A comprehensive official roster is not available yet, so additional named story characters can be added as full playthroughs and later updates reveal them.
