Cora (played by Anna Camp) is a protagonist in From Black.
Cora is a grieving mother consumed by the disappearance of her son, Noah, for seven years. After being found dehydrated and covered in unexplained blood, she joins a grief-support group and accepts The Seeker’s dangerous resurrection ritual. She brings Abel into the process, but ultimately refuses to complete the exchange. Abel (played by John Ales) is a protagonist in From Black.
Abel is closely connected to Cora and becomes involved in her attempt to bring Noah back. He helps prepare the secluded house and ritual materials, while also trying to protect Cora when Wyatt violates her restraining order and creates further danger. His involvement places him directly inside the escalating supernatural ordeal. Wyatt (played by Travis Hammer) appears in From Black.
Wyatt is a threatening figure from Cora’s unstable past who violates her restraining order and deliberately taunts her about Noah, her addiction, and her relationship with Abel. His intrusion intensifies the danger surrounding Cora and complicates the ritual, while Abel attempts to protect her from the confrontation. Noah (played by Eduardo Campirano III) appears in From Black.
Noah is Cora’s missing son, whose disappearance has dominated her life for seven years. He is the reason Cora seeks supernatural help, and The Seeker uses the promise of his return to control her participation in the ritual. When Cora refuses to finish, Noah is denied restoration and condemned to endless suffering. The Seeker (played by Kenneth Ford) appears in From Black.
The Seeker is the facilitator of Cora’s grief-support group and the hidden architect of the resurrection ritual. After identifying Cora’s desperation, The Seeker recruits her with a promise to return Noah, demands exact obedience and a personal sacrifice, and later requires Cora to pass the role on to another grieving person.
