[[folder:Novel]]
The protagonist, and as far as he knows, the only survivor of the plague. Once a factory worker, Neville now spends his days hunting vampires or repairing his house, while hiding in his home at night. Due to months and then years of isolation, Neville grows increasingly depressed and unstable.
* ActionSurvivor: Neville is tough, but his still an average person. The reason he can so easily kill or capture vampires is because they're in a coma, or sleeping very heavily, during the day. He is captured relatively easily by members of the new society.
** Action Dad: He was a father, but his daughter, Kathy, died from the plague. He had to have her body burned in order to prevent reanimation.
* TheAlcoholic: At first, in order to cope with his isolation. He eventually stops for reasons he cannot reasonably explain.
* Badass: Nevile can hold his own while fighting vampires.
** BadassBookworm: Starting from Part II, he spends a lot of his time studying the bacteria, trying to find a cure, or experimenting on vampires (living or dead). He is not an expert in any of this, however.

!!Ben Cortman
--> ''"Come out, Neville!"''
Neville's former neighbor and a vampire. Every night, he comes to Neville's house, and shouts at and harasses Neville, telling him to come out of his house. By vampire standards, he is remarkably intelligent, capable of speaking a few words and limited tactical planning.
*CannotCrossRunningWater: Subverted. Neville tries to see if the legend that vampires cannot cross running water is true. [[LaughablyEvil Cortman being Cortman]], upon noticing the hose, jumps across it again and again in order to mock Neville.
--->''“The bastard knew!”''
* CelebrityResemblance: Neville mentions he looks like Oliver Hardy several times.
* ClimbingClimax: [[spoiler:He tries to escape from the new society's soldiers by climbing up and hiding in a chimney. He fails, eventually being knocked off the roof due to machine gun fire. He is then stabbed with a lance, which presumably kills him.]]
* EvilFormerFriend: Cortman was a neighbor and friend to Neville. After Cortman returned from the dead, he began hunting Neville.
* FatBastard
* GenreSavvy: He laughs at Neville whenever he tries to use traditional vampires wards like running water, or a cross (being Jewish, has no reason to fear the cross). He is also the only vampire who seems to be clever enough to try to escape from Ruth's people, but he is unsuccessful.
* TooDumbToLive: He tries to hide in his chimney when [[spoiler:soldiers begin killing vampires outside Neville's house, even after they see him climbing up the house, have a spotlight on him, and a firing upon him.]] Despite all his cleverness, he is still just one of the dead vampires.
* LaughablyEvil: Ben is often whimsical in his behavior, often teasing or laughing at Neville.
* WorthyOpponent: Neville seems to think of him this way, at least.
!!The Dog
A dog that Neville notices around his house. Due to years of isolation, Neville tries to befriend it, but it is terrified of him.
* CanineCompanion: Subverted. Neville ''tries'' to take the dog as a per, but it is too scared of him and refuses to let him touch it. It eventually starts to trust Neville a bit more, but ends up getting infected before completely warming up to him.
* PostApocalypticDog
!!Ruth
The only uninfected survivor Neville comes across. She claims to have lived with her husband until he was killed by vampires a few years ago. Initially distrustful of Neville, she eventually grows closer to him.
* BadLiar: Ruth isn't a particularly convincing liar, and she appears to make up her story as she goes. Neville continuously tells himself that he is just being paranoid whenever he finds a hole in her story.
* BecomingTheMask: Ruth ends up caring for Neville, [[spoiler:even though he killed her husband, after learning that he is not really a monster or even a particularly cruel person. She leaves him a note, begging him to escape before he is captured, and gives him pills that would kill him in order to spare him a violent execution.]]
* DaywalkingVampire: [[spoiler:Ruth is infected just like everyone else, but it capable of walking in the sun for short periods of time due to medication.]]
* DidNotDieThatWay: Not Ruth herself, but her husband. She claims he was killed by vampires, [[spoiler:but he was actually killed by Neville.]]
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Ruth is shown to be a kind person, despite being infected. [[spoiler:Justified in that most living infected are otherwise normal people, particularly after they begin taking medication.]]
* ObfuscatingStupidity: She asks Neville a lot of questions about the vampires that he thinks would be obvious, and that she would have to know to survive. It turns out she was most likely just testing ''his'' knowledge on the bacteria.
* TheMole: [[spoiler:For the new society.]]
* ThereIsAnother: The only uninfected human Neville encounters in the story. [[spoiler:Subverted, as it turns out she is infected, just like everyone else in the world. Aside from Neville, that is.]]
* VegetarianVampire: [[spoiler:Like the rest of her people, she feeds the vampire bacteria with a pill that contains blood.]]
