Arthur
Lord Arthur is the leader of the castle of Candar. He doesn't get on too well with Ash and finds him to be a coward and a buffoon. And you know what? He's right! Also the great enemy of Duke Henry the Red but the two must join together if the wish to defeat the Army Of Darkness.

Bad Ash

Bobby-Joe

(See Evil Dead 2 Characters)

Book of the Dead
AKA Necronomicon ex Mortis and Morturom Demonto the book of the dead is the cause of all of Ash's troubles. It was written long ago by the dark ones, when the seas ran red blood. It was this blood the was used to ink the book. In the year 1300 AD, the book disappeared. That is until Professor Knowby finds it in the rear chamber of the castle of Candar and brings it to the cabin in the wood where, through recitation of the passages in the book he raises the spirits of the dead. When the Professors daughter, Annie, translates one of the passages she opens a rift through which Ash is sucked back to medieval England and must quest for the book in order to find and passage to send him back to his own time and rid the world of the deadites forever. The only thing is, the deadites have a great hunger for the book and will stop at nothing to get it.

Boom Stick
Ash's second weapon of choice along with his chainsaw. It's basically how Ash discribes his double barrel shotgun to the primitives of Candar in Army Of Darkness. Good for blasting all manner of evil living dead.

[C]

Candar Castle
The place where Ash is transported back to when he is sucked into the vortex along with the evil. Lead by Lord Arthur the people of Candar battle the deadites and need the Book of the Dead to destroy the evil for good. Ash gets the book and they beat the evil until roughly seven hundred years later Professor Knowby and his colleagues find the book in the rear chamber of the cabin and release the evil again.

Chainsaw
Ash's weapon of choice, particularly in Evil Dead 2 where he chops of his hand and replaces the stump with his trusty chainsaw. Comes close to sawing up Linda with it in The Evil Dead and does a good job a dipatching the deadites in the pit with it in Army Of Darkness. He then replaces it with a mechanical hand.

[D]

Dagger
A strange dagger which comes as a set with the Book of the Dead in the first two movies. It is made out of small bones and a tiny skull at the end of the handle. Scott uses it to kill Shelly, Linda uses it to attack Ash, Ash used it to stab Linda, Annie used it to accidently stab Jake and Ash's possessed hand used it to kill Annie.

Deadite Captain

Deadites
AKA The Evil Dead. The deadites are demons that have made their way into our world through the reading of passages of the Book of the Dead. They possess the living reclaiming what was once theirs, life!

Deathcoaster
After Ash raises the army of the dead he prepares for the battle by customising his Delta 88 Oldmobile in a killing machine with a huge revolving blade on the front. Handy for slicing up and running over all manner of deadites.

(See
Evil Dead 2 Characters)

Knowby Cabin
The infamous cabin where Ash must survive two nights of bloody chaos. No wonder Ash and his friends got it so cheap, cause it's crawling with evil spirits which made their way into our world when Professor Knowby brought the Book of the Dead to the cabin and translates some of the passages. Ash returns to the cabin eight years later to confront his fears with his new girlfriend Jenny (not a good idea).

Knowby, Henriette
Professor Knowby's wife, she gets possessed by an evil spirit after the Professor reads the passages from the Book of the Dead. He kills her and buries her in the fruit cellar but that isn't the last of her as she reutns to cause Ash and the others more bloody mayhem. She plays like Cheryl did in the first movie as the witch in the cellar.

Knowby, Professor Raymond
It's this guys fault all the trouble started in the first place. After finding a hidden chamber in the Castle of Candar he along with his wife Henriette, daughter Annie and associate Ed Getly they stumbled across the Book of the Dead. He and Henriette bring it out to the cabin in the woods where he begins the translations and awakens the deadites from their ancient slumber.
