1. Dantes Allies

1.1. Abbe Faria

1.1.1. - A priest and brilliant thinker whom Dantès meets in prison. Abbé Faria becomes Dantès’s intellectual father: during their many years as prisoners, he teaches Dantès history, science, art, and many languages. He then bequeaths to Dantès his vast hidden fortune. Abbé Faria is the most important catalyst in Dantès’s transformation into the vengeful Count of Monte Cristo.

1.2. Bertuccio

1.2.1. He was a murderer who assisted Dantes in getting revenge

1.3. Luigi Vampa

1.3.1. He was an Italian bandit that captured Albert and Fernand.

1.4. Peppino

1.5. Ali

1.5.1. Dantès’s mute Nubian slave. Ali is amazingly adept with all sorts of weapons.

1.7.1. The daughter of Ali Pacha, the vizier of the Greek state of Yanina. Haydée is sold into slavery after her father is betrayed by Mondego and murdered. Dantès purchases Haydée’s freedom and watches her grow into adulthood, eventually falling in love with her.

2. Morrel Family

2.1. Morrel

2.1.1. The kind, honest shipowner who was once Dantès’s boss. Morrel does everything in his power to free Dantès from prison and tries to save Dantès’s father from death. When Dantès emerges from prison, he discovers that Morrel is about to descend into financial ruin, so he carries out an elaborate plot to save his one true friend.

2.2. Maximilien

2.2.1. The son of Monsieur Morrel. Brave and honorable like his father, Maximilian becomes Dantès’s primary beneficiary. Maximilian and his love, Valentine, survive to the end of the story as two good and happy people, personally unaffected by the vices of power, wealth, and position.

2.3. Julie

2.3.1. The daughter of Monsieur Morrel and sister of Maximilian. Angelically good and blissfully in love, Julie and her husband, Emmanuel, prove to Monte Cristo that it is possible to be truly satisfied with one’s life.

3. Others

3.1. Caderoose

3.1.1. A lazy, drunk, and greedy man. Caderousse is present when the plot to frame Dantès is hatched, but he does not take an active part in the crime. Unlike Danglars and Mondego, Caderousse never finds his fortune, instead making his living through petty crime and the occasional murder.

3.3. Franz

3.3.1. Another good friend to Albert de Morcerf. D’Epinay is the unwanted fiancé of Valentine Villefort.

4. Dantès’s beautiful and good fiancée. Though Mercédès marries another man, Fernand Mondego, while Dantès is in prison, she never stops loving Dantès. Mercédès is one of the few whom Dantès both punishes (for her disloyalty) and rewards (for her enduring love and underlying goodness).

5. Morcerf Family

5.1. Mercedes

5.2. Fernand

5.2.1. - A priest and brilliant thinker whom Dantès meets in prison. Abbé Faria becomes Dantès’s intellectual father: during their many years as prisoners, he teaches Dantès history, science, art, and many languages. He then bequeaths to Dantès his vast hidden fortune. Abbé Faria is the most important catalyst in Dantès’s transformation into the vengeful Count of Monte Cristo.

5.3. Albert de Morcerf

5.3.1. The son of Fernand Mondego and Mercédès. Unlike his father, Albert is brave, honest, and kind. Mercédès’s devotion to both Albert and Dantès allows Monte Cristo to realize her unchanging love for him and causes him to think more deeply about his sole desire for revenge.

6. Danglars Family

6.1. Baron Danglars

6.1.1. A greedy, envious cohort of Mondego. Danglars hatches the plot to frame Dantès for treason. Like Mondego, he becomes wealthy and powerful, but loses everything when Monte Cristo takes his revenge. Danglars’s obsession with the accumulation of wealth makes him an easy target for Monte Cristo, who has seemingly limitless wealth on hand to exact his revenge.

6.2. Hermine Danglars

6.2.1. Danglars’s wife. Greedy, conniving, and disloyal, Madame Danglars engages in a never-ending string of love affairs that help bring her husband to the brink of financial ruin.

7. Villefort Family

7.1. Villefort

7.1.1. The blindly ambitious public prosecutor responsible for sentencing Dantès to life in prison. Like the others, Villefort eventually receives punishment from Dantès.

7.3. Saint Meran

7.3.1. The father of Villefort’s first wife, who dies shortly after her wedding day.

7.5. Noitier

7.5.1. Villefort’s father. Once a powerful French revolutionary, Noirtier is brilliant and willful, even when paralyzed by a stroke. He proves a worthy opponent to his son’s selfish ambitions.

7.6. Heloise

7.6.1. She was going to marry Franz but then dident, She died in the end.

7.7. Edouard

7.7.1. Son of Villefort, Madame Villefort killed him when Minster Villefort told he to kill herself.

7.8. Benedetto

7.8.1. The illegitimate son of Villefort and Madame Danglars. Though raised lovingly by Bertuccio and Bertuccio’s widowed sister-in-law, Benedetto nonetheless turns to a life of brutality and crime. Handsome, charming, and a wonderful liar, Benedetto plays the part of Andrea Cavalcanti in one of Dantès’s elaborate revenge schemes.
