Deadly Premonition boasts a wide range of characters that Agent York can interact with throughout Greenvale. Not all of them are necessary for story progression, but each of them adds an interesting flavor to the town and its history.
Main Characters[]
Francis York Morgan[]
Call him York. That's what everybody calls him. York is the protagonist and main character of Deadly Premonition. He is an FBI agent that specializes in unusual homicide cases. York is in Greenvale to investigate the murder of a young woman connected to some red seeds, which have been popping up in numerous other cases. The mystery that he unravels in Greenvale is unlike anything he has ever seen before.
Zach[]
York's only friend and confidante, invisible and inaudible to everyone but York himself. Even York does not really understand Zach's true nature, but talks constantly to him, even in front of other people. To those around York, Zach is nothing more than an imaginary friend. However York treats him like a real person and relies heavily on Zach to put pieces of his mysteries together.
George Woodman[]
The Sheriff of Greenvale and one of the most well-respected men of the community. York often calls him "The Monarch". He has a gruff exterior and personality, but it is clear that he cares about Greenvale and its inhabitants. George doesn't take kindly to York's invasion of his town and requires a lot of persuasion to get the two of them on the same page.
Emily Wyatt[]
A deputy sheriff of Greenvale. She is known for being a tough cop and a terrible cook. Emily takes a liking to York and helps him get acquaitend with the town and the murder case. Like George, she has a great love and respect for Greenvale and is well-liked in the community.
Thomas Maclaine[]
George's shy, effeminate assistant. He is frequently complimented for his cooking. Thomas also works as a bartender to help out his sister.
The Raincoat Killer[]
Once little more than local legend, the Raincoat Killer, or someone in his guise, has been ritualistically murdering young women in Greenvale. Perhaps even more frightening than his Red Seed-related butchery is his ability to follow Agent York into the strange imaginary Otherworld, where he cannot be killed.
Forrest Kaysen[]
A traveling sapling salesman and a common face in Greenvale. He is well-liked in the community and is often seen walking with the young Ingram twins. Emily tells York that he has been coming around for a couple of months and made an impression on the townsfolk. He is rarely seen without his trusty Dalmation, Willie.
