Hey, everyone, it’s your friendly neighborhood D.X. Machina here. I know Alliance: Intelligence has loads and loads of characters. Not all of them will be important, but many of them get mentioned, and frankly, it’s not easy keeping the eighteen human Acolyte officers straight. I have this stuff written down to refer back to. You should too! So as a service to you, our paying readers,  I thought I’d give you a quick “cheat sheet” for those of you who are having trouble keeping track of the many, many folks I’ve dropped in your lap.

I’ll break this up into Bass officers, Acolyte officers, Embassy officers, and civilians; there may be more characters mentioned later, but hopefully, not all at once.
