The Wars Character List

This is a basic character list of The Wars by Timothy Findley. I probably missed some people, but this is better than nothing. I am posting this just because I did it and I don't want it to go to waste. Main characters are just too obvious to write more, and if anyone actually need stuff on main characters, go Google it.
