Timon
Timon is loaded, and he loves giving gifts to his friends. Um, where do we sign up to be his friend? Well, that's exactly what everyone else in Athens is thinking. Word on the street is that Timon...
Apemantus
Apemantus is a philosopher, but really all he does is sit around pointing out how grumpy everything makes him. He hates banquets, lords, friends, parties, gifts, flattery, Timon, and, well, just ab...
Flavius
Perhaps Timon's only real friend, Flavius is also his steward, or his head servant: he runs Timon's household and is in charge of Timon's money. We can tell the other servants respect Flavius and f...

Bandits
When three bandits show up in the woods disguised as soldiers to get money from Timon, we're scared. He's already yelled and ranted about how much he hates the greed and lies of humanity; what will...
Servants
Timon's ServantsTimon's got a whole gaggle servants who deliver messages, try to collect money, and serve food. While they're at it, they also offer us a running commentary on what's going down; we...
