Clockwork Angel Study Guide

Cook at the London Institute. Mortal with the sight, from a family who has served Shadowhunters for generations. She was killed when Mortmain's clockwork creatures attacked the London Institute. 

Deceased

Head of London's most influential vampire clan. Member of the Pandemonium Club.

Charlotte and Henry are led to believe that de Quincey is the Magister. They find out that he has been murdering mundanes at parties in his home. His next party is infiltrated by Will and Tessa, disguised as Camille. When battle breaks out, he disappears and takes refuge with what remains of his clan. The Shadowhunters track him down and kill him and the rest of his clan but are mistaken that he is the Magister. In the meantime, the real  Magister attacked the London Institute, knowing that most of the London Enclave were otherwise occupied.

Deceased

Mundane. Member of the Pandemonium Club. 

After taking over his father's company and fortune, he quickly quadrupled his worth by trading in silk and spices - and opium. He then sold his ships and began producing mechanical devices for everything from the smallest pocket watches to large grandfather clocks. He was the previous employer of Richard Gray before RIchard and his wife went to America. When Nate came to England, he offered Nate a job and introduced him to the Pandemonium Club. He is questioned by Charlotte and Henry, pointing them toward de Quincey when in reality, Mortmain is the Magister in charge of the Pandemonium Club and Nate is unwaverinly faithful to him. He has paid the Dark Sisters to figure out how to bind demon energies to his clockwork creatures to create an army for himself. He intends to take over the British throne. He claims to know what Tessa is and to have been pivotal in her creation. He and his clockwork creatures attacked the London Institute after luring the majority of the Shadowhunters to de Quincey's hideaway and Jem and Will to fight the Dark Sisters. He intended to kidnap Tessa and steal the Pyxis with Nate's help. He succeeded in taking the Pyxis but Tessa faked her own death and he left her body behind when he was caught by Will. He currently believes that Tessa is dead.

Member of the London Enclave. Father of Gabriel Lightwood, a daughter, and one other son. 

Has coveted the role of Head of the London Institute and is often belittling Charlotte, hoping to make her look incompentent to the other Shadowhunters. He fought when the Shadowhunters attacked de Quincey's party and when they attacked de Quincey's clan afterward. He killed de Quincey himself.

Member of the London Enclave. Aunt to Charlotte.

Member of de Quincey's clan in London. Magnus Bane's lover. 

Had fallen in love with a werewolf that de Quincey killed as punishment for fraternizing with the enemy. Camille has hated him ever since and helps the Shadowhunters infiltrate de Quincey's next party. She gives them information and jewelry for Tessa to use to assume Camille's form, even having Magnus Bane accompany them to the party. She has been in hiding since de Quincey's party.

Head of the London Institute. Married to Henry Branwell, maiden name Charlotte Fairchild. Daughter of Granville Fairchild.

Charlotte was given charge of the Institute after her father died. While technically she and Henry are both in charge, no one believes that Henry is actually involved in the running of the Institute. She is in charge of Will Herondale, Jem Carstairs, and Jessamine Lovelace  - all underage Shadowhunters living at the Institute. When investigating the Pandemonium Club, she questions Mortmain and is led to believe that de Quincey is the Magister. She learns that de Quincey is killing mundanes at parties he throws and she arranges to infiltrate the party to obtain proof. They lose de Quincey but rescue Tessa's brother, Nate, who was the intended victim. She gathers the Enclave to track down what remained of de Quincey's clan after learning of their location from Nate. They killed de Quincey and his clan, later learning that she had been duped and Mortmain was the actual Magister and that the London Institute had been attacked, killing two of the servants: Thomas and Agatha.

Deceased

Shadowhunter and head of the London Institute. Married to Charlotte, who actually runs the Institute. 

Henry loves to invent new things and to tinker with machines. Many of the other Shadowhunters don't take him seriously, especially since he is generally very focused on one of his interests. He went with Will to the Dark Sisters' house, ending with finding and rescuing Tessa Gray. He investigates Mortmain and the Magister with Charlotte, inadvertently telling Mortmain about the Pyxis. He was one of the Shadowhunters that found at de Quincey's party (it was his invention that malfunctioned and set de Quincey's house on fire) and he also helped track and kill the remainder of de Quincey's clan. 

Shadowhunter at the London Institute. Called by his Chinese name, Jian, by his mother. His late parents ran the Shanghai Institute. Parabatai of Will Herondale. Has a crush on Tessa Gray. Plays the violin.

Came to live at the London Institute at the age of twelve after his parents were killed by the demon Yanluo. Jem was tortured by Yanluo and fed a highly addictive drug, which he cannot be weaned off him. If he stops taking the drug, he will die, though the drug is slowly killing him as well. He is one of the only people that Will cares about. He helped to investigate the Magister, taking part in the raid on de Quincey's party. He was attacked by automatons while showing Tessa his favorite place in London and was nearly killed. He and Will were left behind at the Institute while the adult Shadowhunters tracked de Quincey's clan, but they were lured away by Mortmain. He and Will went to stop the Dark Sisters from binding demon energies to the clockwork creatures, but found Mrs. Dark trying to resurrect her dead sister and realized they'd been duped. Jem took the carriage and one of the horses back to the Institute while Will took the other horse and rode ahead. Jem found Nate and several clockwork creatures stealing the Pyxis when he arrived back at the Institute and fought them just before Henry and Charlotte arrived back to help him. They discover that the automatons used Jem's blood from when he and Tessa were attacked to gain entrance to the Institute.

Shadowhunter at the London Institute. Her parents died in a fire, leaving her orphaned.

Her parents had distanced themselves from the Clave and did not want Jessamine to have anything to do with being a Shadowhunter. As such, Jessie refuses to train and does not like to take part in Shadowhunter activities. She wants to marry and leave the Institute, a mundane would be best. She offers to move in with Tessa, but the offer goes no further than that. She dotes on Nate when he's sick, hoping that he may be the mundane that ferries her away (and he's handsome besides), and is very upset when Nate betrays the Shadowhunters. When Will and Jem leave the Institute and the automatons attack, Jessamine fights alongside Thomas to defend the Institute and those inside of it.

When the party is busted by Shadowhunters, Magnus helps the Shadowhunters and Tessa. When Camille goes into hiding, Magnus stays at her home in London though he's not sure she plans to return.

Mundane. Member of the Pandemonium Club. Son of Richard Gray and his wife. Raised by his Aunt Harriet. Brother of Tessa Gray. 

After getting into substantial gambling debt and finding a secret journal of his mother's, Nate tries to blackmail Axel Mortmain. He travels to London and instead is given a job and is introduced to the Pandemonium Club. He became an acolyte of Mortmain, also known as the Magister. Because the Magister wanted Tessa, Nate mailed poisoned chocolates to his aunt, which killed her, and asked Tessa to join him in England - sending her a steamer ship ticket. When Tessa escaped the Dark Sisters, Nate was given to de Quincey as punishment, he would have been killed if the Shadowhunters hadn't saved him. But he betrayed them, giving them false information about de Quincey and luring all the adult Shadowhunters away from the Institute, as well as Jem and Will when they were left behind. When the automatons attacked the Institute, Nate helped the automatons steal the Pyxis and has not been seen since.

He and his wife were killed when Tessa was very young, his children were raised by Harriet.

Mundane with the sight. Maid at the London Institute. In love with Jem. 

Sophie used to work in a rich mundane household, where she was attacked by the family's son. He left her with a large scar on her face and she was dismissed from their service, but Charlotte found her on the street and offered her a job. When the London Institute is attacked by Mortmain and his clockwork creatures, Sophie and Tessa run for the Sanctuary. Sophie has to get the key from where Charlotte stores it, during which Tessa is found by Nate, who is knocked unconscious by Jessamine. The three women barricade themselves in the Sanctuary. When the Sanctuary is breached, the clockwork creatures take Jessamine and Sophie, but leave Tessa with Mortmain. Jessamine and Sophie are saved by Jem at the front doors of the Institute. 

No warlock's mark, making her unique. Daughter of Richard Gray and his wife, who died when she was young. She was raised by her Aunt Harriet. Sister to Nathaniel Gray. Has a crush, and then is crushed by, Will Herondale. 

After the death of her aunt, Tessa was sent a ticket to come to London by her brother Nate. But when she arrived, she was taken hostage by the Dark Sisters. They taught her to Change, where she is able to take an object belonging to another person and physically change into that person. She is able to access their thoughts and memories through doing so. When the Dark SIsters tell Tessa that she is to be married to someone named the Magister, Tessa tries to escape but is stopped. She is rescued by Will and the other Shadowhunters who let her stay in the Institute. She helps them to investigate the Pandemonium Club, which the Dark Sisters were a part of and the Magister is in charge of, as well as the disappearance of her brother. She agrees to attend a party dressed as Camille Belcourt to investigate the vampire de Quincey, who they believe is the Magister and has been breaking Clave law. While there, she finds her brother Nate imprisoned and to be killed at the party by de Quincey and his guests. The Shadowhunters rescue Nate but de Quincey gets away. Tessa and Jem visit Blackfriar's Bridge where they are attacked and followed to the Institute by the automatons. Jem is hurt but the offending automaton flees. The London Enclave, using Nate's information, prepares to invade where de Quincey is hiding and kill him and his remaining followers. While the Enclave is doing that, they leave Will and Jem to guard the Institute. They are lured away by Axel Mortmain and once they are gone, Mortmain attacks the Institute with his clockwork creatures. The creatures kill Thomas and Agatha, nearly killing Sophie and Jessamine, as Nate reveals that he has been working with Mortmain this entire time. Mortmain is the Magister and Nate has arranged for him to get into the Institute to get Tessa and the Pyxis as well. Tessa, faced with Changing for the Magister and being forced to marry him, pretends to kill herself. She fools the Magister who disappears when Will comes to save Tessa. Will also thinks she's dead and is bereft. She believes that he cares for her, like she cares for him, and he is so relieved when she reveals that she is still alive. But later, he is cruel to her and she decides she was wrong about him all along. 

Employee at the London Institute. Mortal with the sight, from a family who has served Shadowhunters for generations. In love with Sophie. 

Thomas was raised at an Institute as his family worked there and was trained with the Shadowhunters. He went with Will and Henry to the Dark Sisters' house, finding and rescuing Tessa. He defended the Institute against Mortmain's clockwork creatures when they attacked the London Institute, with Jessamine's help. He eventually yelled at Jessamine to run as he made a last stand and was killed by Mortmain's clockwork creatures. Will arrived at the Institute and was with Thomas when he died.

Inquisitor of the Clave.

Shadowhunter at the London Institute. Son of a Shadowhunter that left the Clave and a mundane who live in Wales. Parabatai to Jem Carstairs. Likes Tessa Gray very much.

Will showed up at the Institute when he was twelve, alone and saying he had nowhere else to go. He is cold and surly, often painting the worst picture of himself possible. He doesn't let anyone get close to him except for Jem. He is the Shadowhunter that rescues Tessa from the Dark Sisters' house, finding her closed in a third story room. He kills Mrs. Black as they try to escape. Later, he accompanies Tessa to de Quincey's party to find evidence against de Quincey and fights when the Shadowhunters come in. He and Jem were left behind at the Institute while the adult Shadowhunters tracked de Quincey's clan, but they were lured away by Mortmain. He and Jem went to stop the Dark Sisters from binding demon energies to the clockwork creatures, but found Mrs. Dark trying to resurrect her dead sister and realized they'd been duped. Jem took the carriage and one of the horses back to the Institute while Will took the other horse and rode ahead. Will was with Thomas as he died and then went on to find Tessa. He arrived at the Sanctuary to find Mortmain kneeling next to Tessa's dead body. He attacked Mortmain, severing a button from his coat, but Mortmain disappeared uninjured. When Will held Tessa, he realized that she was alive. Though the two of them had grown quite close and even kissed once, he begins to push her away from him and avoid her when able. 

Demon who killed Jem's parents as revenge after Jem's mother destroyed its nest and offspring. The demon tortured Jem for days before he was rescued, forcing him to injest a demon drug that left him addicted. If he stops using the drug, even if he is slowly weaned off, he will die, though the drug is slowly killing him.

It was saved by Jem from Mrs. Dark, who planned on sacrificing the cat in some way.
