First, there were ten, an odd assortment of people all summoned to Indian Island for a vacation. All of these people, strangers to each other, were all summoned for different reasons, and by different people. Mr. Justice Wargrave, a recently retired Judge, was supposedly asked to come to the island by an old friend, Lady Constance Culmington. Wargrave is a short man with a tall domed head and heavily lidded eyes. He is said to look somewhat reptilian. Vera Claythorne received a letter from the owner's wife, Una Nancy Owen, to come to the island to be the new secretary for them, with a good salary, too. Vera is a pretty young lady, with soft brunette hair and very emotional eyes. Philip Lombard was approached by a mysterious Mr. Isaac Morris who's willing to offer 100 guineas if Lombard goes to Indian Island. Lombard is tall and muscular, but with oddly pointed teeth, which reminds the others of a wolf. Being assured that he will have the option to withdraw if anything illegal comes up, Lombard takes the offer. Miss Emily Brent is invited to come to Indian Island by someone she thinks is Miss Oliver, a friend she met the previous summer. Emily Brent is a tall, gaunt woman with hair tightly wound in a bun.  General Macarthur was heading there because he thought that a bunch of his old friends were going there to get together. Apparently, the owner of the island was a good friend, too, but Macarther just couldn't remember who he was. Macarthur is muscular, and his eyes are closely set together. He just wanted to get away from the stress of life. Dr. Armstrong, a successful surgeon was invited to come for no apparent reason, but since the letter came with a very large sum of money, he had no problem at all with going. Armstrong was vey average looking, and not memorable at all.  Anthony Marston went to Indian Island because he was invited by his friend, but he had thought his friend went to another continent completely. Marston was young, tall and muscular, with tanned skin and blond hair. Mr. Blore was summoned to the island to keep an eye on the curious lot of people, without knowing that he was one of them! Blore was short and average looking, but there was something about him that would make his face stick in your mind. Lastly, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers were on the island as butler and maid. Oddly enough, their employer, Mr. Owen, is nowhere to be found when they arrive ahead of time. Very mysterious....
