List of The Mortal Instruments characters

This is a list of the main characters from The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, including the novels City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, City of Fallen Angels, City of Lost Souls, and City of Heavenly Fire. The series is part of a bigger media franchise, The Shadowhunter Chronicles. The series was adapted into a film, The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, and a television series, Shadowhunters.

The following is a list of Shadowhunters television series regulars who have appeared in one or more of the series' three seasons. The characters are listed in the order they were first credited in the series.

Clarissa Adele "Clary" Fairchild is a fictional character and the main protagonist of The Mortal Instruments series. She is the daughter of Valentine Morgenstern and Jocelyn Fairchild, stepdaughter of Lucian Graymark. She is also the sister to Jonathan Christopher 'Sebastian' Morgenstern.

While at a New York City nightclub, the Pandemonium, she is stunned to observe a group of teenagers stalk and attack a supposed 'human' and tries to stop them. She learns their names are Jace, Alec and Isabelle. They reveal that the man was truly a demon and hint themselves to be a part of a Supernatural community called the 'Shadowhunters'. She thinks that they are all mad at first but stalls when she sees when the 'human' the Shadowhunters were stalking suddenly grows claws and strange eyes and disappears when killed. She had called the security of the place before, and when they come, she soon realizes that she is the only person able to see them.

After the battle, Clary is introduced to the group of teens, who identify themselves as Shadowhunters, a race of humans who are physically enhanced with angel blood and secretly protect humanity from demons. When her mother Jocelyn goes missing, Clary learns that the event is connected to the conflict between the Shadowhunters and their enemies. She then enters the Shadowhunter fold and there she finds that she also is a Shadowhunter. Her mother had paid the warlock Magnus Bane to put a block in her head so she could not remember parts of the Shadow World even moments after she sees it. She and the group of Shadowhunters try to find hints to find her mother. In the process, she falls in love with fellow Shadowhunter Jace Wayland.

Clary learns that Valentine Morgenstern, who is supposed to be long dead but truly is not, the main antagonist of the series, is her biological father and her mother's husband. At the end of City of Bones, Valentine tells them that Clary and Jace are siblings — which, as they discover later in the series, is a lie. In the second book of the series, City of Ashes, Clary dates her best friend Simon, who has for a long time had a crush on her, to forget Jace during the torturous time of believing him to be her brother. She is told by the Seelie Queen that she and Jace are Valentine's experiments but mysteriously does not explain further. She finds out later that she was exposed to powdered angel blood through her mother who consumed it unknowingly while she was pregnant with Clary. This angelic blood granted her the ability to create runes that do not exist and amplify the power of existing runes for herself. At the end of the second novel, Clary finds that an old friend of her mother, Madeleine, knows how to wake her mother, who has been in a magical coma since the first book.

In City of Glass, it is discovered that Jocelyn had taken a potion, made by a warlock named Ragnor Fell, to induce a comatose state and prevent her from being interrogated by Valentine. Before she dies, Madeleine tells Clary she needs to find Fell, who will help her cure her mother. Clary, using her power to create runes, creates a rune with the ability to create a Portal a magic and conveys herself and Luke to Idris, and falls into Lake Lyn and drinks some of the water by accident; this causes her to hallucinate because the lake's water is poisonous to Shadowhunters. Luke then takes her to his sister Amatis for healing.

During her stay in Alicante, Clary ventures to find Ragnor Fell, who will be able to help her with the potion. She is escorted there by Sebastian Verlac, whom she recently met, in an attempt to make contact with Fell. Instead, she finds Magnus Bane. He tells her of Ragnor's death and how he was called as a replacement and requests that she find him the Book of White in return for his help. She returns to Alicante, where Sebastian kisses her. She rejects him after having feelings of "wrong" while he kissed her, and they continue back to Alicante. She then learns that something called the Book of White has been hidden in Wayland Manor, and travels with Jace to retrieve it. Inside the Manor, they find the angel Ithuriel tied up and left for dead in the basement. He gives both Shadowhunters visions of Valentine experimenting on his children with the demon and his angel blood in an attempt to make a stronger warrior.
