Miss Casewell – (30's-40's) A strange, aloof, masculine woman who speaks offhandedly about the horrific experiences of her childhood.

Mr Paravicini – (indeterminable age) A man of unknown provenance, who turns up claiming his car has overturned in a snowdrift. He appears to be affecting a foreign accent and artificially aged with make-up, or is it? A strange man who enjoys being the center of attention and playing jokes on others for his amusement.

Detective Sergeant Trotter – (mid 20's- 30's) A policeman who arrives in a snow storm saying he has come to protect the guests from the murderer. While appearing young, he does take his job quite seriously.
