Top 10 Best Characters from The Enemy Series

The Top Ten

  1. Ed Carter

    More commonly known as Ed, he is one of the characters who develops throughout the series. In The Dead, he is first seen cowering behind a table while his friend Jack attempts to kill a diseased grown-up. Over the course of the series, he outgrows his cowardice and becomes one of the most respected characters.

    Ed is a character with great development. He starts off as a scared child who can't even kill one sicko, and now he's a respected character who appears as a nice guy but inside he's a psychopath.

  2. Small Sam

    I'm not sure if his surname is revealed in the series, but he's mostly known as Sam or Small Sam. He is easily the best character. Name another character who has been captured by sickos (zombies, grown-ups, or whatever) and escaped, captured by cannibals and escaped, traveled through half of London, and was involved in a prophecy. That's right. You can't.

    Second to Shadowman, Small Sam is the bravest character in this series. He's survived hell and back and is determined to find his sister Ella.

  3. Dylan Peake

    PLEASE READ: If you are wondering who Dylan Peake is, he is Shadowman.

    Shadowman is probably the bravest character in The Enemy series. Although unnamed, he is one of the people chosen to go with Jester to find some new kids (Jester arrives at the Waitrose in Holloway) but is ambushed by sickos at King's Cross Station and is left for dead. However, he refuses to die and crawls to safety.

    Soon he sees a group of sickos and decides to follow them. An awesome character.

    A badass character who can have broken ribs, a concussion, and many other injuries and still kill sickos that outnumber him 3:1. On top of that, he tries to do the right thing when he can.

  4. Malik Hussein

    MAJOR SPOILERS: Malik is not dead! He barely survives the young sicko attack in The Dead but is left with a messed-up face. In The Hunted, he is known as Scarface and helps look after Ella but leaves Monkey Boy to die. Probably goes to show that you shouldn't judge people by their looks.

    I slightly forget him in The Dead, but I love his moral code and everything about him in The Hunted.

  5. Arran Harper

    Spoiler alert: I was so upset when Arran died. Maxie and Arran are meant to be together! They both like each other but are/were (depending on where you are in the book) too scared to tell each other.

    One of the best group leaders in the series. It's a shame that he died.

  6. Achilleus

    Funny, badass, and loyal to his group, Achilleus is an outright legend!

    One of the best fighters and characters.

  7. David King

    One of the most powerful leaders in the series. Evil, too, but that's for another list.

  8. Jester

    I like him because he does something to remember all of the dead people he's known since the disease struck.

  9. Jack

    Saddest death in the series, maybe apart from (SPOILERS) DogNut and Courtney. He was only there to develop Ed's character, but he was one of my favorite characters in The Dead nonetheless.

    Oh boy, I was DEVASTATED when he died. I wanted to just hug him until he was all better!

    Jack is easily the best character, with a shocking and upsetting death.

  10. Maxie

    I like the way she is not a total badass and makes decisions wisely. She also has a lot of leadership qualities and just shows girl power. She can be very furious when she gets angry.

    She's been through a lot.

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Deke

    I just love his dynamic with Freak and how they both tried to die for each other

  12. ?

    Brooke

    13. The Contenders

  13. Shadowman

  14. Harry Bamford

    His death was so sad. He deserved more - one of the best fighters across the series.

    Honestly, my favorite character until that ass Greg killed him.

  15. Freak

    Thinking about what everyone looks like in these books is very cool, and both he and Deaky are cool. If they were still alive in the end, they could've been fighting with Achilles.

  16. DogNut

    Honestly, I think DogNut is the best character in the series. His life was cool, but his death was downright awesome. His last words though...damn, that touched my heart.

    Guess what my gamer's tag is...yeah, you got that right!

    Funniest character ever. Aside from maybe Jack, he and Courtney had the saddest deaths.

  17. Blue

    Strong, smart, and able to survive a zombie apocalypse? What else could a teen want?

  18. Paddy

  19. St George

    Also known as Greg the Butcher, this sicko is one of the best antagonists of all time.

  20. The Collector

    Though he was only in The Fear, he was definitely one of the most gruesome sickos in the whole series.

  21. Jordan Hordern

    I like this guy. He is in charge and he knows it. Even when his vision is failing him, he makes it work!

  22. Blu-Tack Bill

  23. Bam

    Bam is a very underrated character. He was very lighthearted and positive.

    (SPOILERS) His death was very tragic.

  24. The Kid

  25. Johnno

    Now, this is a character no one probably remembers from the dead due to his short appearance. Johnno, in my opinion, could have had a lot of character development. I thought he was going to keep flirting with Frederique until she would turn him down. The ambush at The Fez was so surprising and unexpected, and when I read that Johnno went down with the others, I was shocked. He should have had a better part in the series.

  26. Big Mick
