EPISODE 1 - CAST LIST

CAST LIST


ANDREA ROMERO
An American businessman in his 50s. Quiet, polite, and humble, Romero oversees and manages more than a dozen restaurants in New York City. After the Great Depression hit, he was lauded by the press for taking a cut out of his own salary to ensure his workers were paid. Described as a man of honor, many admire Romero for being an upstanding example of someone who cares about his community. He has quite a lot of wealth to his name, and is traveling on the Disorient Express to return to the United States.

ERNEST DEVINEAUX
The conductor of the train. Ernest considers punctuality and impeccable service to be the two marks of a superb train conductor. He attends to the guests and their needs, and can be seen making the rounds and checking in on the passengers of the train. For some reason, Mr. Devineaux seems to be a human-sized, anthropomorphic stoat...? Don't worry too much about it.

LINHARDT VON HEVRING
An up and coming medical researcher in the academia world, Linhardt Von Hevring is making waves for all the wrong reasons. Cited as lazy, hard to work with, picky about who he even chooses to hang out or work with at all, he is the enemy of hard-working scholars and researchers everywhere. Yet, no one can deny that he is certainly known for being well-researched in the fields or topics that generate his interest...

ARCADE GANNON
A tight-lipped medical researcher from the United States, returning from a scientific conference in Europe. There are rumors about his ties to The Enclave, an organization that dissolved after it was discovered they had been influencing federal politics for years.

EIJI BIWASAKA
An up and coming young lawyer that looks out for the less fortunate. Through managing philanthropic giving of the wealthy he maximizes the impact of grants and donations to numerous areas including the arts, public health, and innovation.

NATHAN MAHLER
Nathan Mahler is a successful opera producer and ardent fan of the arts, known for his flamboyant style and personality. He has produced a number of critically-acclaimed shows throughout Europe over the years but is now most active in New York City, where he lives with his adopted daughter, Arietta, a promising young soprano.

ARTEMY BURAKH
Enigmatic, gruff, and with a looser definition of the Hippocratic Oath than most, this self-proclaimed surgeon seems anything but. Opinion of him varies from "selfless healer" to "serial killer in disguise", but one thing is certain: he's far too comfortable around death.

LAERRYN CORAMAR-SEELIE
Laerryn is an engineer who has used her long lifespan as an elf to branch into various fields having to do with the matter. She spins many plates as far as projects go, but her most recent, prodigious accomplishment is her work designing the modern London Underground. Outside of the scientific circles she associates with, she is probably better known as 'the wife of Loquacious Seelie', an international news anchor and radio personality.

MILDRED BACON
Mildred is an accomplished nuclear chemist, equally well known for her work as she is for her mysterious nature. Most people think she’s a mad scientist with a homicidal streak.

MABEL MORA
Mabel Mora is a young American portrait artist taking an extended sabbatical in Europe, with the latest journey taking her back from Istanbul to study Byzantine architecture and the different influences of the two continents. She's got a dry wit and seems sort of standoffish, but is easy to talk to once you start. She loves listening to mystery radio shows.

HU TAO
Hu Tao is a lively young woman almost always dressed in black and cheekily surveying the world from beneath the brim of a traditional plum-bedecked hat. No one would guess her actual profession: the heir to a venerable tradition of Chinese funeral parlor directors, one who will stop at nothing to become the best of the best (at funerals, yes). Her side gig as the Versemonger of the Darkest Alleys is probably her more mainstream pursuit, but it's really just a hobby.

EVA USHIROMIYA
Third in rank to inherit the headship of the Ushiromiya family. Terrifyingly ambitious and willing to play dirty, except with her immediate family, who mean the world to her. Aware of the shady actions behind known businesses in the world.

KOTOKO IWANAGA
Kotoko is the sheltered daughter of a prominent wealthy family from Japan, currently on holiday from the university in England where she studies abroad. Bubbly and brash, she has a passion for the occult and an excessively prurient interest in other people's affairs. Perhaps it's an occupational hazard of a would-be mystery writer.

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART
A child prodigy turned uninhibited adult, Mozart is a composer of wide renown, but it’s just as much for the worse as it is the better.

"FLEABAG"
“Fleabag” is a mysterious woman who owns a café in London that she opened with her now dead best friend. Crass, whimsical, and always down for a laugh, she seems to have a quip for just about everything. Despite her seemingly plucky nature, she doesn’t seem particularly close to anyone- Why, after all, nobody on the train even knows her real name.

TOSHIO OZAKI
A well-known specialist in Infectious Diseases, Dr. Toshio Ozaki would often attend conferences and give lectures on his work. He abruptly became much harder to reach a handful of years ago after returning to his hometown, and subsequently in the news for much more sinister happenings.
