The previous Wings of Theve
Jan Cope is the former holder of the name. The official overview explains that the player inherits the mantle of Wings of Theve; this does not mean the protagonist’s personal name is Jan Cope. The character introduction describes Jan’s legend as shaped by a publicity plan.
Tasha’s surname and “Teach”
The official character page spells the surname Severskya, while the official overview uses Severskaya. Both are retained as search aliases here rather than choosing a spelling from an automatic transcript.
Teach is Tasha’s name for Baxter, not a ninth character. For personal background, use the dedicated Tasha profile or Kate profile.
Scope of this index
These are official character introductions. This index does not infer a traitor from a character’s role, speculate about later Campaign events or add unverified ages, voice actors or face models.
