Favorite IA Supporting Character Quiz

Blog, Fun POST A COMMENT by

Something we say a lot as a Horde is that our authors could turn every single one of their supporting characters into the lead of a story we couldn’t wait to read.

In honor of one of the most beloved secondary characters who recently broke into the protagonist club, let’s see if the quiz can guess who your remaining favorite is.

  2. Call me Dr. Loose Cannon, is all I’m saying 😂
    I don’t suppose Caldenia would be an option? Because if it is, I’d keep trying 😉

  4. “The Wizard with the Blizzard” my good friend, Dr. Loose Cannon! You’re so good to us Mod R. Thanks for the smiles!

  6. Her Grace Caldenia Ka ret Magren, Letere Olivione I have the understanding of the powers that be.

  10. Wow, Caldenia is one of my absolute favorites!!! How did u know? 🤣 (they are all my favorites ) I can’t believe Grendel is an answer though 🤣

  16. I got Luther. Thanks for the fun quiz, Mod R! As I was answering, I was guessing which characters would show up. 🙂

  18. I have mastered the quiz and been awarded all six contestants <3. Because I loves them all. Thank you, Mod R! This was fun!

  20. Ohh, I love these. Dr. Loose Cannon this time around. I always have questions that I waffle over, so we’ll see what variations I come up with.

    Although when ModR did the InnKeeper one, I came up Vampire EVERY TIME.

    You’re spoiling us this week with the goodies!

      • I also inadvertently started a House around the use of the Oxford Comma. (I claimed Defender of the Oxford Comma as a vampire title and next thing I knew there was a whole group of us.)

        I guess I can add Clan of the Loose Cannon, too. 🙂

    • I also assume that I’m morally obligated to buy the Luther mug now? (Not that I’m complaining . .. )

  23. Wizard with the Blizzard! I do love Luther and his not so patient patience with everyone around him. His snark is gold! 😂😂

  26. I will embrace ‘Dr. Loose Cannon’ as my new identity with great passion and dedication.

    • Most exotic of the results so far! It’s probably the catfish, it puts people off. It is the world’s supertaster though!

  30. That was fun! I got Caledonia -perfect!

    PS – long time lurker, first time poster.
    The BDH comments are so much fun!

  34. I got Luther Dillon. I am doing a re read (or rather this time with audiobooks) of the Kate Daniels series so maybe I’m more in that world at the moment. Let me tell you- an IA graphic audio book (or even regular audio) and diamond art is my go to at the moment for escapism and relaxation!

    At any rate, thank you Mod R for something random and fun 🙂

  38. Augustine? Really? Well now I know why I’ve always felt ambivalent about him – he’s too much like my not aknowledged self… 😂🤣😂

  41. ModR – you are a super genius!! Another Dr. Loose Cannon thanks you for the fun and plans on taking the quiz until I get Orro…heh.

  55. Ilona,
    I was a little behind on reading the blog.
    I have felt your (gall bladder) pain and am happy to report that the laparoscopic surgery works! The one side effect is that there are literal oh crap! moments now that you have your bile duct re-wired and it takes a little while to understand what your trigger might be; caffeinated coffee, fried foods, etc. But better to live without the gall bladder than endure the pain of an attack.
    Hope you are recuperating well.

  59. Thanks for the fun, Mod R.

    Got Bug the first try. In a little while, I want to find out who I get next. 😉🧐🫣

    • Second time I got Caldenia. 😎

      Tyrant of the galaxy or a paranoid computer surveillance person? Hmmm…I think I see a pattern for me. 🧐🤭

  61. Roman would’ve been my #1 choice of course but this is completely my runner up! <3 Too fun, thank you!

    Your favorite is Dr Luther Dillon from the Kate Daniels series. He is the Wizard with the Blizzard, Dr Loose Cannon, always reliable, always wise, always ready with a snark.

  63. ok, so I am Caledonia. I can see it. I will assert my will ruthlessly through plotting and playing the long game.

  68. Awesome! Woo hoo Luther! I so want a Luther book! I will console myself when he pops up in Wilmington though if I have to lol!

  82. Not really surprised to score Dr. Loose Cannon. I adore Luther! I also may already have some of the same t-shirts. I’m just sayin’ LOL.

  84. LUTHER!!! Yes! Just listened to Magic Slays and Blood Heir and kept thinking I’d love more Luther. He has so much depth and yet he’s just here and there in the books.

  86. “You love Augustine Montgomery from the Hidden Legacy series.”

    Yes, yes I do!

    This was fun!

  91. “Your favorite is Dr Luther Dillon from the Kate Daniels series. He is the Wizard with the Blizzard, Dr Loose Cannon, always reliable, always wise, always ready with a snark”

    Definitely, yes!!
    Now I have to try for my other one: Augustine!

  99. Ooooh! Orro, well then how fitting. Thanks for quiz. may everyone enjoy their day/night.

    A random yet funny thing today. I’m gathering prepper kit, have lots already but needed portable loo & gel packets to contain future loo odours. The company = long river in humid place, asked if I would like the two year warranty on the gel 🤔, I declined.

  103. *Eyes wide with surprise* That did not go as expected! Although, she certainly is interesting and her story is woven through the Innkeeper series.

  107. I’ve come up with Caldenia twice, Grendel, and Bug. Totally fun quiz. But the character I would most like to see more of is Conlan.

  108. “If you find yourself dissatisfied with your result for longer than 3 hours, please take the test again or consult your local librarian immediately.”
    Oh, that’s grand! This was fun; thanks. I’m Luther, BTW.

  110. I have no idea how most of the answers I picked relate to Luther Dillon, but he’s who came up when I took the quiz, and he most certainly IS my favorite secondary character – though followed closely by Doolittle.

  111. I wouldn’t say that Bug is my favorite, but as a retired technically oriented computer programmer I have great respect for him.

    I’ll take it.

  112. Well I do like Augustine so fair enough. Though I suspect our idiosyncrasies might align too closely for truly comfortable companionship. . .

  113. that was fun. w/honesty, I got Orro on the first one👍, then answered what I thought would get me Augustine ❤️ hehe.

  114. What fun! I got Orro! oh, I wish I could taste his donuts! I bet he could make gluten and dairy free donuts that are devine!

    Thanks ModR! You’re so great to us!

    I’m going to keep taking the quiz to see who else I can get!

  115. I got Luther. I actually do like him a lot.
    Even more than Caldenia or Bug.
    Not sure about Augustine, though. He’s pretty great as well.

    • Eh. I have a cat-dog, I don’t see why not! 🙂

      My dog demands doors be opened for her and petting is only when she wants, while she wants. She sometimes fuax-purs, which sound like a growl if you don’t know her.

      My last cat would come when called, played Fetch, and would bring me toys when he was bored. I seem to straddle the dog-cat fence a lot.

  120. Apparently my favorite is Dr. Loose Cannon! I would have had difficulty choosing just 1 on my own.

  121. Okay, I’m super surprised. 😆 I got Bug from the Hidden Legacies. Fun quiz that I 100% agree with. 👍

  123. Interesting correlation. I’m a retired engineer in real life, and your AI came up with Dr Luther Dillon.

    • There is granted not much intelligence behind my efforts, but it’s definitely not artificial 🙂.

  125. That was so much fun! Thanks Mod R!
    Bug is my buddy! I can relate to the whatthefuckeries! 😄

  127. I got Luther, which is a actually a pretty solid top pick for me. I was probably going to pick one of the Centurians, but Luther is probably about even with them.

  132. I do like Dr Luther Dillon. I am not sure that he is my favorite, but he easily could be if he had more press.

    The one question which really bothered me that I could not answer correctly is the one about how I view “enemies”. There is a verse in the Bible (end of Roman’s 12) which talks about being nice to enemies is equal to heaping burning coals on their heads. I try to follow that example. The fact that it confuses them just adds to the fun.

  135. Mod R, I want to thank you for this quiz: it came at a perfect time for me, as I really needed a little fun, and the question about family really hit home. I apologize ahead of time for this rambling comment. (Please delete it if it’s not appropriate to post here, I will understand.)

    It hasn’t been a good week.

    One sibling and I have been almost totally estranged from some other siblings and my mom (who has issues and who caused all of this) for years. We’ve tried to ignore all of their behavior and mend fences with them many times (because, you know, family) but each time we just got more abuse and head games from them.

    Mom is now down to her last few hours…so yeah, not an easy week, with much sadness and second-guessing as to what we should do. My sibling decided to go see them all and again just got more abuse. I decided my sanity and own well-being is more important so I am done. I’m staying home and saying prayers for all of them.

    My sibling and I have each other (and our spouses and kids) so we’re fine, but it’s still so sad and very stressful. We also have friends and extended family through in-laws that make life worth living. As one of the quiz’s family question answers said, family isn’t necessarily the blood relations. It’s only taken me 60+ years to figure this out.

    Thank you for letting me vent (even if you need to delete this it has helped) and thank you for the quiz. It was a fun diversion.

    • I’m so sorry for what you’re going through, Kat. It’s not always an easy choice, but our own oxygen mask has to go on first.
      I’m glad you have good people around you. *hug*

      • Thank you, I really appreciate it. 💕💕 There is so much more to the story (as you would expect) but bottom line, I’m protecting my child too. Families….you just can’t invent some of this stuff.

      • What they said. Especially the part about your own oxygen mask. It’s a lesson one has to relearn sometimes. Best wishes to you and your family.

    • Hey Kat,
      Do what you need to do to keep yourself, your child, etc safe. It is ok to stay away. I didn’t speak to my father for the last 11 years of his life, and do not regret it. I mourned his death, and the death of any possibility he might become a decent person who could b in my life. But I also felt like the world was a safer place. You are likely to have complicated feelings, but knowing that you have had to protect yourself to protect your child is a lifeline. Breaking the cycle of abuse is hard, but necessary work. You are stronger than you know and will get thru this! You are not alone. ((Hugs))

  137. Yes, Grendel was actually the inspiration behind our choice of breed for our puppy :). Husband only realised afterwards mwahahahaha.

  140. Woot, I got Bug! haha!

    Also, can I just say that the question re: how I deal with my enemies reminds me of one of my favorite Connor-isms from White Hot.

    —

    “Rogan, I snapped a man’s neck with my bare hands. I don’t even know how I did it.”

    “Well,” he said. “You did it well. Too well even.”

    I stared at him.

    “It was quick,” he said. “He didn’t suffer nearly enough. If I had gotten my hands on him, I would’ve made it last.”

    —

    Thanks for the fun and witty quiz, Mod-R!

  141. Hey! I was just thinking that I wish I knew more about Bug. I mean, sure he doesn’t have immediate sex appeal a la beautiful Augustine or Jiang in the series, but everytime I read a scene with him I say, “I wonder what happened” and “awww sweet guy deserves a HEA”.

    • His HEA is, I think, just being the best Bug he can be 🙂, not a romantic one. And with the Rogan-Baylors, who look after him and love him without forcing him to “fit in”
      more than he can manage, he probably has reached it.

      • I have to admit that the idea of Bug falling for someone would be interesting to explore.

        With his surveillance skills, he’d be like the ultimate stalker. Figuring out how to spin that aspect of him so it doesn’t come across as creepy/ick would be an interesting challenge. haha!

  142. Hahaha! Orro! And a truly Orro moment when Mod R taunts me with Mango Cupcakes! Even my boss knows my love of mango! Too fun(ny)

  144. When I took it based on my own personality I got Luther.

    When I took it based on what I would want in a side character I got Caldenia.

  145. Haha I misunderstood and answered more as ‘myself.’ I got Grendel the black dog. But later in the quiz I saw Caldenia type answers, and I’m thinking – damn, if this is a poll, I vote Caldenia all the way!!! If we get a Caldenia story I’d be over the moon. Of course, I got my Roman wish, so I will be patient and grateful as one small cog in the BDH.

  146. Apparently my favourite is Luther, very intriguing as I do enjoy him as a character but wouldn’t have immediately jumped into my head when thinking about supporting characters 😊

  148. Fun! Worked out to be Dr Loose Cannon, which was a bit of a surprise. I like the character, but he’s not my favorite. That would probably be someone from HL. I think I’ll try again hehe. Thanks for breaking up the week!

  151. OMG. I laughed out loud. I’ve taken it twice so far, answered every question differently the second time, and still came up Luther both times! I love so many characters, but the Quiz has spoken!

  154. well it is Dr. Luther Dillon, funny as I was a Endo technician for about 20 years lol

  157. I was thinking of Augustine, and indeed managed to get him, yay!

    (or was I supposed to do it for myself? hm)

  159. I could not be happier than to be Grendel!
    I, too, have on occasion made a mead hall full of warriors lose their shit. But at the end of the day, it’s all about the cuddles.

  162. Just so you know, the email came thru as all HTML including the answers to the various questions. Could be just a gmail quirk…

    • Thanks for letting us know, Kathleen. It’s not just you, many reports of the same. It’s the first quiz we’ve done on the blog since we switched newsletter providers and apparently they’re not at all fans of our Quiz plugin. We’ll raise a support ticket or replace the quiz creator 🙂

        • The emails you get are the blog articles sent through our emailed newsletter. By clicking on the “Continue” button it takes you to the Ilona Andrews website, to the blog source of them being published 🙂

    • Yeah, the blog came through hosed in the email, so I just jumped to the website. Probably all the animation.

  163. Yesssss!!! I got Bug!!!! Gimme gimme gimme a story about him……a short one….a teeny tiny one…..with lots of awesome “words”……. (::evil chuckling, giggling, cackling, laughing::)

  167. Augustine has grown on me. He, like Roman, is intriguing. I want to see more, so I’d be happy to have a book with him.

  168. I got Her Grace Caldenia Ka ret Magren, Letere Olivione… and wasn’t even trying… I wonder what that’s says about me 🤪

    • I’ve just discovered the newsletter doesn’t like the quiz plugin. I’m glad you found the blog link ok 🙂

  170. Didn’t know who I was aiming for, came up with Luther. Yes absolutely no questions please, I am here for Team Snark!

  174. “That’s Dr. Loose Cannon to you!” Haha awesome, I like Luther 😀
    (Though is Grendel in there? I think I’ll have to try and see xD)

  175. Her Grace Caldenia Ka ret Magren, Letere Olivione, from the Innkeeper Chronicles series 😂

  176. I got Bug. While I like him, that’s a stretch. As usual, I generally had to choose between two sort of close answers. I’ll try again and pick the other answer.

    • That time I got Luther, much less of a stretch and possibly even correct (I have lots of favorites). FWIW both times it took the algorithm, if that’s the correct term, quite a while to process.

      • I think the slowness is because it jumped from 4200 people to 5619 in the last half an hour. Everyone’s quizzing 😀

  177. I was hoping the ones I clicked on would lead me to Klaus, but got Luther instead. Lol I had fun!

  178. He does bake well. I wonder if he would modify rosemary golden raisin teabread to mango rosemary? I could try that.

  181. HA “We need something that could destroy our swag server with demand requests and also make people want to flood our email box with requests for secondary character books…we said never.”

    Mod R “Oh I totally have an idea for that”

  183. Orro? I’m cool with that. All of life’s hardships should be met with the appropriate amount of drama.

  184. As a newly-blooded protégé to Her Grace Caldenia Ka ret Magren, Letere Olivione, I volunteer to bring the Mellow Yellow to the weekly Machination Meetings.

  185. Fun quiz!

    I love the Innkeeper interviews with the secondary characters and the in character new book release snippets. Could we please have more of those with out favorite supporting characters?

  188. I would love to read more about Augustine Montgomery. However, I will buy everything House Andrews writes . While wearing my Here,Kitty tshirt and drinking copious amounts of tea.

  189. Fun! First time through I could tell I was picking Luther and then kept trying for him, but could also spot Grendel as an answer. The rest I had to read the comments to ID. Then when I tried to pick out the right answers for all the options, I was able to pick out Bug and Orro but I ended up with Caledenia the first time I tried for Pancakes.

  193. Cool!

    I really like Luthor, even if he does call Kate names to her face – no backbiting, open and honest. Except when something happens and she needs his input or help, and then he is all in to assist and support however he can.

  194. Bwahaha your test is so good!
    I thought Luther before starting the test and yes!
    Dr Loose Cannon forever!

    Thank you so much for the fun, and again, the best recovery to Ilona

  197. Ha. The quiz selected my favorite supporting character. How appropriate! It’s scary how that works.

  199. I got Orro 😀 / 0-O

    So, I had Luther in mind when answering questions (or a shade of Caldenia/Augustine). I … am not sure what happened here 😀

    • No pressure – please get well -that’s most important – we’ll try to be p@tient, trying real hard……sigh

  204. did I pick every Luther answer and so my answer was Luther?

    the world may never know

    (except I’m telling you it’s Luther)

    still waiting on my Luther/Roman team up, come on book two! 🤞🤞

  205. That was a lot of fun, thanks Mod R!! 🥰 I do love Augustine but honestly, I would have loved whoever I got. You’re right, all the supporting characters are just as amazing as the MCs.

  206. I am thrilled with Grendel!!! Dogs really are the best gift from the universe, and an IA book from their perspective would be a-ma-zing, please and thank you. 🙂

  208. Caledonia is exactly who I wanted. She is the perfect mix of elegant, self assured and terrifying.

  212. “That’s Dr. Loose Cannon to you” Seems fitting 😀 Btw, I would love a Luther Roman short story…. or even a Dr Luther short story in Atlanta…

  218. Dr. Luther Cannon – I so love this result! Highly capable, takes care of crisis and a good human. This works for me 🙂

  219. Luther! Hello fellow Loose Cannons!

    (Orro on second try). Was Erra a possibility? She and Caledonia would probably have the same answer profile!

    Great quiz! Thanks for the fun.

  227. I got Orro, which happens to be a perfect fit. Artsy, emotive, creative, and everyone loves him still.

  229. “The Wizard with the Blizzard: Always reliable, always wise, always ready with a snark”. LOL – You know me so well!

  231. Caldenia 😁 My partner and I fell in love with her at first hearing (graphic audio) and she is still one of our most beloved characters. 🫅

    • Roman is a main character now 🙂, you won’t be able to get him in a supporting cast quiz anymore.
      Keep trying for Pancakes 😉

  235. I got Grendel and while surprising I am okay with that. Though I could do without the smell.

  236. I do love me some Bug, but I also adore Mina’s chef at the inn. Hope all is well. This was fun. Thx.

  238. I was going to ask why you were sending your email in code.

    definitely the strangest email I’ve ever gotten.

  239. Thank you for the quiz! I would love to see Augustine’s story play out with a HEA. But… we still have a Baylor sister to settle too.

  240. I am truly Her Grace Caldenia Ka ret Magren, Letere Olivione. Suits me very well. I do so admire her!

  241. He wears cool shirts!
    “Your favorite is Dr Luther Dillon from the Kate Daniels series. He is the Wizard with the Blizzard, Dr Loose Cannon, always reliable, always wise, always ready with a snark.”

  243. I got Orro, and I’d love a recipe book from him. maybe one of those Mott Davidson murder/cookbooks, and he solves the crime with interplanetary gastronomy.

  245. “Your favorite is Dr Luther Dillon from the Kate Daniels series. He is the Wizard with the Blizzard, Dr Loose Cannon, always reliable, always wise, always ready with a snark.”

    Yup it is true minus the snark. Thank you!

  246. Thanks for this moment of fun. I took Mod R’s advice and I got my favourite second time around. Although getting Bug was wonderful nothing beats Caldenia.

  247. As the future “Mrs Dr Loose Cannon”, I would like to cordially invite the entire BDH to our upcoming nuptials.

    It will be a splendid, but laidback affair.
    Wear what you want and all plus ones are welcome (with the exception of vampires in need of pilots).
    Gifts are not required, but we are happy to give a loving home any quirky or interesting magical objects you might have lying around.

    …
    Invitations sent – Check
    Venue booked – Check
    Retinue confirmed – Check
    Inform the groom – Have coffee with Kate and Roman to discuss getting Luther to the appointed place and time… He’s a busy man, no need to bore him with “details”… ;p

    • umm you forgot one important thing dear.

      Dr Loose cannon is Married, it was mentioned in one of the coffee clatch with diana

      sorry

  248. I love Caldenia. however I’m not in a rush for her to have a spin off. I enjoyed how she evolved in the last book.

    the only thing I’m begging for is that GA acquires rights to Jim and Dali’s duet. I love the voice of Jim and look forward to meeting her mom and extended family.

  254. woooot !!!

    Your favorite is Dr Luther Dillon from the Kate Daniels series. He is the Wizard with the Blizzard, Dr Loose Cannon, always reliable, always wise, always ready with a snark.

    thank you thank you

  258. Huh. Grendel. That’s a shock. i’m not even a dog person and I love shower time. 🤣🤣🤣

  263. I do love Luthor!

    My all time favorite is Erra (tied with Roman). She and Caldenia are certainly similar in some ways. But Caldenia is refined and calculating and manipulative. You’d never see Caldenia coming if she doesn’t want you to.

    Erra is direct, blunt, and just plain unapologetic about it a. You WILL see Erra coming you just won’t be able to do anything about it. No subterfuge or lipstick of any other type needed. I re-read these books at least 3x a year and I laugh every time I hear her describe the castino as a “gaudy nightmare of a castle.” She was only in the last two books but she has so many of my favorite lines. And I am DYING to know what she’s like as a mother in law. I’d kill for a short story showing her visiting Hugh and Elara.
