Fortnite: The 10 Most Important Characters In The Lore

Fortnite lore is a bit difficult to get caught up with. Across many seasons and even more story arcs within those seasons, the Fortnite islands have seen more than their fair share of cataclysms, catastrophes, and, well, cats. We won't blame you if you need a refresher on who's who in the Fortnite lore universe. Admittedly, even writing this was a good reminder for us too. Below you'll find a countdown of the major characters in Fortnite lore. As Epic loves to drip-feed its big reveals, we'll update this story as needed--for example, as we meet more of the mysterious Seven or we're introduced to more of the Imagined Order chain of command. For now, here are the 10 most important characters in the Fortnite story so far.

10. The Prisoner

If theories prove true, The Prisoner would be the fifth member of The Seven who we've met.

We're reserving this tenth spot on the list for The Prisoner, who may actually be one of The Seven, a secretive group that seems to be at war with the Imagined Order (IO) for control of the Zero Point and thus the Fortnite island. The Prisoner was held captive in Polar Peak by the Ice King in Chapter 1, Season 7, before the icy mountain melted and allowed The Prisoner to escape. He later formed a volcano, burning down parts of Athena, before he was never seen again. That is, at least, until his photo appeared alongside confirmed members of The Seven in The Bridge, the facility that houses the Zero Point. Whoever put up the corkboard and decorated it with clues seems to think The Prisoner is a member of The Seven, and judging by his helmet, they may be correct.

9. Midas

The man with the supposedly golden touch merely turned everything wet in Chapter 2, Season 3.

As the leader of GHOST, an apparent paramilitary and espionage branch of the IO, Midas took on a huge role at the start of Chapter 2, becoming the focal point of the story for almost a year. His actions have led to sweeping changes in the Fortnite omniverse, like when he tried to break through the Storm and ended up causing a major tsunami that flooded the entire island for Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 3. He was clearly given a lot of power within GHOST, though his actions regarding the Storm don't seem to have been sanctioned by the IO, as they could've threatened the stability of the Zero Point. Thus, Midas seems to have defected to SHADOW just before initiating his Device, which would go on to introduce some of the island's biggest changes ever.
