A not-so-skilled ice fisherman and goat herder, among other things. Herschel is the first person Toby meets in Seagate Village. In addition, he gives Toby lodging, and sometimes a hard time as well.

Blair Easton, part of the cast of Derailed

Blair Easton, Shunned Architect

The infamous despised architect of Seagate Village. His train bridge failed five years ago, causing a lot of lives and money to be lost in the village. Consequently, Blair lacks hope there could ever be a way to repair his reputation to good standing. He is confined to a wheelchair, and even more confined by his living quarters: an isolate home atop a tall peak.


Kolina Easton

Kolina Easton, Well-Intentioned Granddaughter

A very giving and kind person. For instance, when she sees Toby’s injury, she stops to help him out. Her compassion towards her grandfather overtakes her level-headedness though. She will stop at nothing to protect her grandfather, Blair Easton, who the villagers repeatedly wrong. Thus, when it comes to Toby, she has a bit of cold shoulder. Kolina needs Toby to leave Seagate Village so he will stop stirring up the past accusations against her grandfather.


Goat, Zinka

Zinka, Runaway Goat

One of Herschel’s mountain goats. Her name is inspired by a very important goat. Derailed’s author, Gabriella, would not be here today if it were not for a real-life goat named, Zinka.
