Indogenes[]
Indogenes are one of the seven main races of Votan who came to Earth in 2013. As the intellectuals of the Votans, they were the architects of the mass exodus and the terraforming of Earth. Indogenes are also known as shape-takers and have been known to disguise themselves in human form.
Ink and print merchant[]
The ink and print merchant was a human from Defiance, whose actual name is unknown. He was a purveyor of variously colored inks used in body art. Stahma Tarr attempted to buy some from him so she could craft memorial tattoos in honor of her husband, but the merchant knew Stahma was responsible for the destruction of the St. Louis Arch and refused to sell to her. Amanda Rosewater purchased the ink for Stahma and told the merchant to pretend that he was selling it to her instead. (Defiance: Ostinato in White)
Indur[]
Indur was an Irathient male and a resident of Defiance. He was the father of Ranikar. Indur was prepared to stand and fight with Joshua Nolan's group against the approaching army of Rahm Tak, but was bothered by the fact that Nolan's daughter, Irisa Nyira - the Goddess of the Badlands, was not involved in the preparations. He told Nolan that he would not risk his own son's life protecting Defiance while Nolan was intentionally keeping his own daughter out of the fight. Nolan gave an impassioned speech to everyone telling them that Irisa would fight for Defiance - but on her terms. (Defiance: The Beauty of Our Weapons) During the final fight against the V.C., Ranikar was killed in battle. Indur was beside himself with grief and blamed Joshua Nolan for putting him on the front line. Nolan paid Indur a special visit to his home to console him, but Indur could not find it in his heart to forgive Nolan. Hours later, he took his own life by hanging himself. Joshua Nolan found the body. (Defiance: Ostinato in White)
Irathient[]
Irathients are largely humanoid in appearance and are only distinguished from Earth human by their flat foreheads and lack of eyebrows. Irathients are also characterized by their bright red hair, which appears to be a dominant trait, though some Irathients do have hair of varying colors.
Irathient Plague[]
Irisa Nyira[]
Irisa Nyira was a war orphan who was raised by the human Joshua Nolan. Although Irisa still maintained the aggressive passions of her people, she was also well-educated in the ways of human culture. Despite this however, she frequently found fault with Nolan's actions, questioning the value of his choices on many occasions.
