Brief Description
With living over a thousand years, Andromache, aka Andy, has begun to grow weary of living.

Nile Freeman (KiKi Layne)
Brief Description
An American marine who is not only the newest member of the Old Guard but possibly one of the youngest to experience what is known as “Rebirth.” Due to this, she acts as an almost new pair of eyes, and while Andy is training her for what’s to come, she seems to renew Andy’s will to live.
Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts)
Brief Description
A French soldier from the Napoleonic era, Booker, is of a similar mindset to Andy about immortality. However, unlike her, so it seems, he had people and things left behind. A son, for example. And now, with living with no one but the members of the Old Guard who know the suffering of immortality, it makes his gifts feel more like a curse than blessing.
