Minor Characters

While there have been countless notable figures who've played a part in the history of Genesis, many others have lived and died in relative obscurity despite playing their own parts in the stories of others.

This section is for those minor characters who were important in their own ways, but went largely unremembered and aren't found in the history books. Each entry includes the individuals' name, some basic information, and a short summary of what they meant to those who knew them.
