Roderick Burgess in a multitude of crimes, is never found. Hazel McNamara Hazel McNamara is Foxglove's lover. She appears in A Game of You and Death: The High Cost of Living.

Unity Kinkaid Unity Kinkaid first appears as one of the victims of the sleepy sickness that follows Dream's capture in the first collection of issues in the series, Preludes and Nocturnes. Following his capture, she sleeps until he escapes. While asleep, she gives birth to a daughter, Miranda Walker. It is later shown that the father of this child was Desire.
