TL;DR: Tower of God characters, sorted by where they actually show up: Bam, Khun, Rak, and Rachel form the core team from Episode 1, Zahard's five named Princesses (Yuri, Endorsi, Anaak, Jaina, Maschenny) and the Rankers around them arrive with Season 2's political scale, and the Khun family and Workshop Battle cast fill out everyone else. Every name below is checked against AniList's own character data for the manhwa, not pulled from a fan wiki.
Key Takeaways
- Twenty-Fifth Bam, Khun Aguero Agnis, Rak Wraithraiser, and Rachel are the founding cast, all present from the Second Floor test in Season 1.
- Bam is confirmed as an Irregular in AniList's own character data, meaning he entered the Tower without the invitation the system normally requires.
- Zahard's Princesses named in this guide, Yuri, Endorsi, Anaak, Jaina, and Maschenny, hold five very different tiers of standing despite sharing the title.
- The Khun family spans five named characters here, and they don't all answer to the same loyalties.
- Urek Mazino appears in the main manhwa and Season 2, not only in the 2025 Urek Mazino spinoff.
- Every character below is cross-checked against AniList's character connection for Tower of God (media ID 85143), the same standard this site applies to its other manhwa character guides.
Tower of God characters: where this guide starts
This Tower of God character guide exists for a simple reason. The Fandom wiki for this series splits its cast across four separate category pages (Rankers, Organisations, Occupations, Zahard Empire). Figuring out who Endorsi actually is takes three tab switches before you get an answer. This guide puts the verified roster of Tower of God characters in one place, grouped by when the story actually introduces each name, not by an alphabetical list that tells you nothing about who matters.
For the season-by-season verdict on whether Tower of God is worth the 652+ episode commitment, read the Tower of God review. For where to actually find Season 2 on WEBTOON without accidentally restarting the series, the Tower of God reading guide covers the platform navigation this guide doesn't touch. This one is just the cast, checked name by name.
A methodology note before the roster starts: every character here comes from AniList's character connection tied directly to Tower of God's own media entry, not from a name search that could pull in someone from an unrelated series. A handful of well-known fandom names, including Poe Bidau Gustang and the Second Floor's former Test Director, didn't return a clean match on that specific connection, so they're left out rather than guessed at. A shorter accurate roster beats a padded one.
Bam, Khun, Rak, and Rachel: the founding team
Advertisement
Twenty-Fifth Bam is the protagonist, an Irregular who forces his way into the Tower to follow Rachel, the only person he's ever known. AniList's data lists his combat position as Wave Controller, a ranged Shinsu role. That's the kind of structural detail that separates a character guide from a plot summary. He passes Headon's test early on and is deemed worthy to climb. "Worthy" and "welcome" turn out to be very different things once the Tower notices an Irregular exists at all.
Khun Aguero Agnis, usually just called Khun, is an E-rank Regular from the Khun family. He's Bam's closest ally almost from the start. He's assigned the Light Bearer position, and AniList's own framing backs up his strategist reputation: real physical ability paired with a mind built for reading a room before anyone else in it does.
Rak Wraithraiser rounds out the founding trio. He's a C-rank Regular assigned the Spear Bearer position. AniList's data calls his species a "Native One," a type of being tied to the Tower's more literal control over its own elements. He teamed with Bam and Khun unwillingly during the Second Floor test and never really left. It's about as close as this series gets to a meet-cute for its core friend group.
Rachel is the reason any of this happens. She's the only person who visited Bam in the darkness below the Tower, and she enters first, chasing the stars she's heard wait at the top. AniList's character notes confirm she's an Irregular too, same as Bam, though that detail is framed as a later reveal in the story rather than something the opening episodes hand you outright.
Season 1's floor-test cast: Headon, Shibisu, and Kon
Season 1 introduces a wider cast through the Tower's early test floors, and three names from that stretch carry weight beyond a single arc.
Headon is the Guardian of the First Floor. Per AniList's description, he's the Tower's most experienced Administrator, one of the few who can move between floors at all. He talks in a friendly register that never fully hides a manipulative streak. He's willing to engineer real unrest among Regulars if it serves whatever his actual goal is, and the story keeps that goal mostly opaque even by the point where this guide's coverage ends.
Shibisu, credited in some translations as Ship Leesoo, is a D-rank Regular who isn't especially strong but matches Khun for pure deduction. He clears every Second Floor test and earns the Scout position, eventually leading his own team. It's a detail that tracks with how the story treats intelligence as its own currency, separate from raw combat rank.
Kon is assigned the Fisherman position on the same Second Floor stretch. His entry in AniList's data is short by design; he's part of the wider ensemble of Regulars who fill out Season 1's test sequences without carrying an individual arc the way Bam's team does.
Zahard's Princesses: Yuri, Endorsi, Anaak, Jaina, and Maschenny
Zahard's Princesses aren't a uniform group, and treating them like one is the fastest way to lose track of who actually has power in this story.
Yuri Zahard is a High Ranker and one of the most politically favored Princesses in the Tower, per AniList's notes. She owns two of the 13 Month Series artifacts at once, a distinction only one other Princess in the Tower's history has matched. Endorsi Zahard, sometimes rendered Androssi, is a Regular despite her Princess title. AniList's description is specific that among Regulars, her physical ability is unmatched. She's also, notably, not a Ranker at all yet. That makes her one of the more interesting cases of Princess status not automatically meaning Tower-climbing seniority.
Anaak Zahard complicates the tier further. She's a demi-princess, the daughter of the real Anaak Zahard through a relationship her mother hid, which technically dilutes her claim. She's still climbed high enough to hold two 13 Month Series herself at one point. Jaina Repellista Zahard is a Princess who mostly operates through her Lighthouse, watching the Tower's events from a darkened room rather than acting directly. Maschenny Zahard Khun is the outlier of the five: a Top 100 High Ranker from the Khun family who's also a Zahard Princess, the only Princess in that family line to hold a 13 Month Series artifact.
Rankers and the Tower's political figures
If the faction politics and Ranker hierarchy are the specific appeal that pulled you into Tower of God, there's a whole shelf of manhwa built on the same structure.
Manhwa Like Tower of God →
Evan Edrok is a High Ranker and the Chief Guide of Zahard Royalty, a role AniList's data describes as unique in the Tower. He's consistently positioned alongside Yuri Zahard as her aide. Karaka is a Slayer working for FUG, the organization openly opposed to Zahard's rule. His hideout sits on the 97th Floor. Kurdan is a Wolhaiksong member who travels with Yuri Zahard's group during an infiltration of the Second Floor. He's one of several named Rankers who show that Wolhaiksong and Zahard's Princesses aren't automatically enemies just because they're separate power blocs.
Urek Mazino is the Tower's 4th-ranked High Ranker and, before Zahard's own renewed activity in the story, its strongest active Ranker, per AniList's own data. He's also Vice Captain of Wolhaiksong. Readers who only know him from the 2025 Tower of God: Urek Mazino spinoff should know he's tied to the core manhwa and its Season 2 material directly, not just the prequel carrying his name.
Lero-Ro is a former Examiner of the Second Floor. According to AniList's character notes, he's one of the strongest Rankers in the Tower's history, old enough that his own climb took over 300 years. He's described as a package deal with a fellow former Examiner, Quant. The two of them climbed as a team decades before either became a Test Administrator.
The Khun family beyond Aguero Agnis
The Khun family shows up across nearly every arc this guide covers, which makes it worth separating from the individual characters already introduced.
Ran Khun is a Regular and Khun's former teammate. He was later reassigned to FUG's team built around Bam, before eventually forming a new team under Khun's direction after the Workshop Battle. Hachuling Khun, sometimes shortened to Hachuling, is a Ranker and a defected member of the family, also holding membership in Wolhaiksong. He's one of several Khun family members whose loyalty runs somewhere other than straight down the family line. Marco Asensio Khun is a High Ranker assigned the Spear Bearer position, a direct son of Khun Eduan, the same branch of the family that produced Maschenny.
The Workshop Battle arc adds a wider cast
Season 2's Workshop Battle arc, the stretch this site calls the series' strongest sustained writing in its full review, brings in a handful of names worth knowing before you read it.
Wangnan Ja, also credited as Ja Wangnan, is a Regular introduced with a specific stated goal: reaching the true top of the Tower, not settling for whatever floor most climbers give up at. Daniel Hatchid is a D-rank Scout affiliated with FUG. He's brought onto the Hell Express with a goal tied to reviving a character named Roen through another figure's completion. Ehwa Yeon, referred to in some translations as Yeon Yihwa, is a Regular from the Yeon family, one of the Tower's ten great families. She's one of the participants in the Workshop Battle itself.
Bam's story is an ensemble political epic more than a single-protagonist power climb. If you want the opposite structure, one hunter and a clean numeric progression, covers that cast the same way this guide covers Tower of God's.

Step-by-Step
The order these Tower of God characters actually enter the story, for anyone reading and trying to place a new name against what they've already seen.
- Bam and Rachel, from Episode 1. The story opens with Rachel already inside the Tower and Bam following her, so there's no setup before you meet both.
- Headon, in the same early stretch. His First Floor test is what decides whether Bam is allowed to climb at all.
- Khun, Rak, Shibisu, and Kon, during the Second Floor test. This is where Bam's actual team forms, and where most of Season 1's supporting cast gets introduced at once.
- Zahard's Princesses and the Tower's Rankers, once Season 2's time skip opens the political scale up. Yuri, Endorsi, Anaak, Jaina, Evan Edrok, Karaka, Kurdan, and Urek Mazino all enter this wider stretch of the story.
- The extended Khun family, across the same Season 2 material. Ran Khun, Hachuling Khun, and Marco Asensio Khun each connect back to Khun Aguero Agnis in different ways.
- The Workshop Battle cast, later in Season 2. Wangnan Ja, Daniel Hatchid, and Ehwa Yeon are all tied to this specific arc, the one this site's review singles out as the series' peak.
Common Tower of God character mix-ups
A few names in this cast get confused often enough to flag directly. Endorsi Zahard and Yuri Zahard are both Princesses introduced in overlapping stretches of Season 2. Endorsi is a Regular while Yuri is a High Ranker, and that rank gap matters more than the shared Princess title suggests. Ran Khun and Hachuling Khun are both Khun family members whose loyalty runs outside the family's mainstream. That's easy to conflate if you're only tracking the surname. And Lero-Ro shouldn't be mixed up with the Second Floor's current Test Administrators. He's a former Examiner whose active role in the story ended a long time before Bam ever reached that floor.
Tips for keeping these Tower of God characters straight
Advertisement
The fastest way to keep these Tower of God characters straight is tracking them by which floor or arc introduced them, not by memorizing a flat alphabetical list. This series adds names in clusters tied to specific tests and battles, not one at a time. Pay attention to rank labels specifically: Regular, Ranker, High Ranker, Irregular. Tower of God uses them as real structural information, not flavor text. Endorsi being a Regular despite Princess status is exactly the kind of detail that changes how a scene reads. And if a name carries the Khun or Zahard surname, check which branch or loyalty is attached before assuming shared politics. Both families are large enough that surname alone tells you less than it seems to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the strongest character in Tower of God?
The story hasn't settled this yet; Season 3 ended on a hiatus with the top of the power scale still mostly implied rather than confirmed. Among named characters this guide covers, Urek Mazino carries the highest confirmed standing: AniList lists him as the Tower's 4th-ranked High Ranker and, before Zahard's own renewed activity, the strongest active Ranker in the story.
Is Bam an Irregular in Tower of God?
Yes. AniList's own character data for the manhwa lists Twenty-Fifth Bam's rank as Irregular, meaning he entered the Tower without the invitation the system normally requires. That single fact drives most of the political suspicion aimed at him for the rest of the story.
Who is Rachel in Tower of God?
Rachel is the only person Bam knew before the Tower, and the reason he enters it at all. Per AniList's character notes, she is also an Irregular, a detail the story treats as a later reveal rather than something stated upfront, so go in expecting her role in Season 1's ending to reframe everything that came before it.
What is the Khun family in Tower of God?
The Khun family is one of the Tower's noble bloodlines, and five of the named characters in this guide (Khun Aguero Agnis, Ran Khun, Hachuling Khun, Marco Asensio Khun, and Maschenny Zahard Khun) all carry the Khun name, though they don't all share the same loyalties within it.
Who are Zahard's Princesses in Tower of God?
Zahard's Princesses are a specific political tier: women recognized as daughters of Zahard, each carrying real influence in the Tower's affairs. This guide covers five confirmed by name, Yuri, Endorsi, Anaak, Jaina, and Maschenny, and their standing varies a lot; Anaak, for instance, is only a demi-princess by blood.
Is Urek Mazino only in the Tower of God: Urek Mazino spinoff?
No. AniList's media data ties Urek Mazino to the core Tower of God manhwa and its Season 2 material in addition to the 2025 prequel spinoff that carries his name, so readers sticking to the main series still encounter him directly rather than only through the side story.
What is FUG in Tower of God?
FUG is an organization openly opposed to Zahard's authority over the Tower. Several named characters in this guide, including Karaka and Daniel Hatchid, are identified in their own character data as FUG operatives, and Bam himself is forced into FUG's ranks for a stretch of Season 2.
