An adventurer, scholar and visionary, Challenger is the driving force behind the ill-fated expedition. Leaving his wife behind in England he is seeking glory above all else. It is his great failing that he not only needs to be right, but he needs the world to see that he is right as well. He feels responsible to return the group home but only with positive proof of the existence of the plateau. Professor Challenger has a vast knowledge of science which he uses time after time to build life-saving home-made devices. At home in England Challenger found most everyone beneath his attention. Now, in the Lost World, he begins to discover his humanity.

Ned Malone is an early twenties American reporter. He started out as a newspaper boy, then became a copyboy and war correspondent. It was during the war that he learned to travel by hot-air balloon. He volunteered for the expedition to impress Gladys the woman he loves, who doesn't love him. In the Lost World he realises he may never see her again complicated by his new attraction to Veronica. Malone is not, by nature, a courageous man. He is more afraid of being thought a coward than anything else. It is this fear that often propels him to act even though he is terrified.

Marguerite is a mysterious, wealthy woman with no scruples whatsoever. She never knew her parents and was raised in a series of boarding schools. She was given the finest education, but no love. She has an extensive knowledge of a variety of subjects and an incredible ability with languages. Marguerite funded the expedition on the condition that she come along. She will do anything, betray anyone if it advances her cause. Marguerite believes she was driven to fund the project because of her desire for precious jewels. Instead, she is driven by something she doesn't understand and can't control. It is as if her whole life has been in preparation for this journey in the Lost World.

LORD JOHN ROXTON
Age: Approx. mid-thirties
Occupation: Hunter, Explorer
Hobbies: Hunting
Strong Points: Brave and loyal
Weak Points: Guilt-ridden and headstrong
Most Likely To: Go out hunting for food or sport
Least Likely To: Relax and read a book

Roxton's creed is simple: Adventure is the only thing that makes life worth living. A fearless man of few words, every situation for him is a challenge to be met and conquered. This often brings him into conflict with other members of the expedition. Roxton was the youngest son of a lord and never expected to inherit his father's title. On a safari, John's older brother William was attacked by a great ape. Roxton shot the ape killing it, but the bullet went through the ape's body and killed his brother as well. His father never recovered from William's death and died soon after. John inherited what should have been his brother's title along with a tormenting guilt that pushes him into adventures of even greater danger.

Veronica grew up in the Lost World. Both she and her parents were part of an earlier expedition also trapped on the mysterious plateau. Most of that party died trying to escape the many dangers facing them. Veronica's parents remained behind but disappeared eleven years ago while out collecting specimens, leaving her alone to live in their treehouse. She has survived here by a mixture of skill, friendships with local tribes, luck and perhaps something else watching over and protecting her. Veronica is very physical, very able to protect herself and the others. She knows the hidden dangers of the Lost World; without her aid the team would never survive.
