A List of All Characters in My First Novel Ever

My debut novel, which is called "No Ravens Fly in Heaven", should be finally completed within a month or so from now. After I thought that I had finished it, I had a dream one night and decided to rewrite numerous parts in the novel based on that dream. I actually created new characters, vanquished others, deleted an entire chapter, merged others, and did an extreme makeover in terms of the general themes within the novel and characterization. Here's a list of all the main and secondary characters in the novel:

• Raven Ameer: A 35-year-old, antisocial, recluse contract killer whose past is shrouded in mystery. He's obsessed with music, writing, alcohol, and killing. Multiple inner conflicts within are reignited upon the botched kill of Harry Hazle. 

• Matthew Edwards: A shrewd, workaholic detective in his late forties with almost no social life. Raven becomes Matthew's obsession, when the former becomes a suspect in the gruesome homicide of Harry Hazle. 

• Hashem Ameer: Raven's non-biological father.

• Synthia Castiavo: A 33-year-old, Russian psychologist. She's the therapist to whom Raven goes seeking counseling when he fails—for the first time ever—in executing a kill properly and professionally. She gets to know everything about Raven except for his job as a hitman. 

• Mr. James: An enigmatic person with many unrevealed details pertaining to his persona such as his real name and age. He's the man who brings most of Raven's customers. He and Raven have never met in person before; they only communicate via emails and occasional phone calls. 

• Harry Hazle: A small-time, young drug dealer, but with a fearless heart. A rival of his hires Raven to take him out. Raven kills Harry, but after an unpleasant encounter that changes everything. 

• Frank Adams: A young detective in his late twenties. He's Matthew's trusted partner and friend. 

• Johnny "The Red Axe" Rozales: An infamous, cold-blooded mob leader who is quite well-known for his disturbing, remorseless, criminal acts. He runs the drug scene in several areas in New York.

• Fredrick Riggaly: A Captain in NYPD. He's Matthew's ill-tempered boss. 

• Rogero Santoury: A 70-year-old multibillionaire, Italian businessman. He and his son are the last members of the Santoury family in Italy and abroad, but the two are estranged from each other. 

• Marlow Santoury: A young, drug addict living in New York who leads a quiet life. His father, a well-known, multibillionaire, Italian businessman, lives in Italy and the two haven't been talking to each other for more than six years. 

• Emily Baldwin: An easy-going girl in her late twenties. She Synthia's best friend.

• Andrew Failey: A car-showroom owner in his late thirties. He's Synthia's ex-boyfriend who's not willing to move on. 

• Mrs. Deborah Sanders: A talkative, elated, seventy-something-year-old lady. She's Raven's meddlesome neighbor who always disturbs him with undesired small talks. 

• Ali Sadeq: The Imam of the mosque to which Raven seldom goes.

• Eddy: The bartender at Raven's favorite bar. 

• Randy: The receptionist at the motel where Raven brings the hookers with whom he has one-night stands.
