This is a list of characters appearing in the Lorien Legacies series of young adult science fiction books, written by James Frey, Jobie Hughes, and Greg Boose under the collective pseudonym Pittacus Lore.
The Lorien Elders
In the Lorien Legacies series, the Loric Elders are the most powerful among the Garde. The Elders act as protectors and rulers of the planet Lorien. Seven of them once went to Greece on Earth and became known as the Seven Sages of Greece. Originally there were ten Lorien Elders, but the tenth Elder supposedly dies during the Secret Wars, a conflict between the Loric and the Mogadorians. After the Secret Wars, the Elders discover the Phoenix Stones, objects that give Lorien the Legacies (superpowers) and the Chimaera. The Elders include:
Bias
Bias is an Elder of Lorien.
Chilon
Chilon is an Elder of Lorien.
Cleobulus
Cleobulus is an Elder of Lorien.
Loridas
Loridas is the last remaining elder on Lorien. He can switch between times within his age. When the Mogadorians invade Lorien, he sacrifices himself so that Ten can escape with his powers. Loridas is mentioned by the character Crayton in The Power of Six. he makes his first but brief appearance in The Last Days Of Lorien. He is seen by Sandor, Nine's Cêpan, and is revealed to be the one who puts the charm on the Garde before they leave Earth.
His known Legacies include: Aeternus – The ability to change between ages that the user has already lived through (This is not an actual Legacy, some Garde are born with this natural power). Charm Casting – Described as a learned ability rather than an actual legacy. He uses it to place the charm on the Garde, preventing them from being killed out of order. Telekinesis – All Garde can move objects with their mind. Enhancement – All Garde have enhanced strength, speed, senses, reflexes, endurance, and durability.
Myson
Myson is possibly an Elder of Lorien
Periander

Pittacus Lore
The leader of the Lorien Elders, Pittacus Lore is immortal and is about 10,000 years old. He has lived on Earth for the past twelve years and is the fictional author of the series. According to Fate of Ten, Lore is believed to have all 74 of the Legacies or superhuman powers known to Loric, as well as an unknown number that he developed naturally. In The Fall of Five, the character Malcolm says that Pittacus Lore died from fatal battle wounds. Four, Nine, or Eight were thought to be the return of Pittacus Lore because they can communicate through dreams with Setrákus Ra, as Pittacus did. Four emerges as the Garde who will assume Pittacus Lore's role when he develops the Ximic legacy, allowing him to copy and master any legacy he observes.
Setrákus Ra
Setrákus Ra was the tenth Elder of Lorien. He is from Aeternus and is the great-grandfather of Ten and grandfather of Raylan. Pittacus Lore gives Setrákus Ra a purplish scar around his neck once the Elders discover Setrákus Ra's plans for their planet and his psychotic nature. However, Lore banishes Ra from the Elders and Lorien rather than carrying out his execution. Once banished, Ra changes his genetic code to look more like a Mogadorian so he can take over their planet. In The Revenge of Seven, Setrákus Ra is the leader of the Mogadorians and sworn enemy to the nine Garde; he is revealed as the missing tenth Elder of Lorien.
Solon
Solon is an Elder of Lorien.
Thales
Thales is an Elder of Lorien.
The Garde
As described in I Am Number Four, the Garde are the protectors of the planet Lorien. They develop Legacies or superhuman powers during their teenage years. When Lorien is conquered by the Mogadorians, ten Garde children are sent from their planet to Earth where they are separated. A charm is cast upon the children to protect them from harm by the Mogadorians and ensures that they must be killed in order, one through nine, as long as they are kept apart. The Power of Six reveals that the children were chosen by the planet of Lorien to follow in the footsteps of the ten original Lorien Elders. If nature is left alone to run its course, these ten will eventually develop Legacies that will exceed that of the original Elders.
Each Garde that came to Earth has a Phoenix Stone inside their chest. The Phoenix Stones are objects that the Elders discovered after the Secret War that give Lorien the Legacies and the Chimaera.
