Some Of The Main Characters:
Thomas
The protagonist of the story. He arrives in the Glade with no knowledge of who he is or was; he only remembers his name. Thomas proves to be brave, loyal, and clever, with peculiar telepathic powers and a very limited memory of previous knowledge of the Maze. Soon after arriving in the Glade, Thomas makes both friends and enemies and proves to be a leader among all of the boys.
Teresa
A teenage girl who mysteriously arrives in the Glade the day after Thomas. She tells everyone that everything is about to change, before slipping into a coma. Thomas is sure that he knows Teresa from before, but cannot remember. Later, it is revealed that she shares a telepathic link with Thomas. They become close friends over the course of the novel and Teresa helps Thomas deactivate the Maze during their escape.
Newt
Newt is a tall, muscular boy with blonde hair who operates as second in command in the Glade. Sarcastic and direct, Newt befriends Thomas early on and spends time explaining the way the Glade and Maze work to him. When the Glade starts falling apart, Newt steps in to fill the gap and supports Thomas's plans to escape.
