Character Descriptions
John is a strong character that keeps to what he belives in. He sticks with his friend, Sam, even though he isn't very strong and is an ocasional trouble. From the planet Lorien, it was invaded by Mogadorians ten years ago, and he is one of the ten sent out to save the planet, after he developed his legacies. However, numbers one through three are dead. He's next. Being hunted. So, joined at the side of Six, he fights for his planet to hopefully one day return to it and bring it back to its previous-war state.
Six (Number Six)
Six is by far much more powerful than John. She has more legacies that are more developed. She fights for the same thing as John. She doesn't have as much desires as him. Both have lost their Garde, or their protectors meant to be with them until they develop their legacies. Six has passed through that and now has trained and trained, while John was still developing his legacies. Without Six, John would be dead. Without John, six would be dead. So, they are at eachother's sides.

Quotation Explanation
Setrakus Ra is the leader of the Mogadorians, the most powerful one of them. He forces the members of the Garde (Numbers) to have visions of fearful things. He is now on earth to fight against the Garde. This sets up half of the book for fear and intimidation, also exitement of what comes next- also being what most likely sets up the next book- the rise of Nine.
