what is going to happen anyway. The 2000s Many characters from earlier in the series are obviously present in the part of the series set in the years between 1998 and 2012. Some very few characters are, however, era-specific. Reynard. A future Invisible who claims that instead of a personality she has a "memeplex", allowing her to choose between identities. Dane McGowan recruits her at her school in Seattle, where he is underground posing as a school teacher—much like Mister Six in Liverpool twenty years earlier. Her initiation into the Invisibles consists partially of three years spent as an accountant. She breaks into Technocorp with Dane McGowan, and is present at the "ground zero" when the time machine is launched. Other allies These are other notable Invisibles or pro-Invisible actors that the series brings up from time to time. Oscar – A slightly overweight Invisible with poor manners who initially acts as Boy's patrol partner.

Purves – First seemingly an Outer Church agent, but it is revealed that he works with Mister Six to 'deprogram' Division X into realizing that they are the Invisibles they have been searching for all along. Following this he also works with Helga to 'brainwash' Sir Miles. Christine Sherman The Marquis de Sade – An aristocrat, revolutionary and author of philosophy-laden, sadomasochistic novels from the 18th century, De Sade is brought forward in time by the Invisibles to create a "pocket utopia". He is depicted as being crippled, short, and morbidly overweight. He effectively creates a large Inivisible cell at a manor complex where people experiment with different kinds of sexual activity, often involving heavy doses of role play. Both physically and in terms of what he does, he is a mirror image of the Outer Church's Mr. Quimper. Mary Shelley – A Romantic poet, women's rights'
