Aiden Bishop

A man trapped reliving the same murder-mystery day in a different host's body each cycle.

The Footman (Blackheath)

The name Aiden calls out when he first wakes in the forest with no memory; a fellow prisoner at Blackheath and his closest ally in solving the murder.

The Plague Doctor (Blackheath)

The masked figure who sets out the rules of Blackheath to Aiden and holds him to them, appearing throughout the day to press him toward a solution.
