In 1990, Fox produced the television series Peter Pan and the Pirates, wherein Hook's costume was more early 18th century rather than the classic Charles II- Restoration period. He had white hair and wore black clothes. He was also clean shaven, without a moustache. Hook's personality is closer to Barrie's original character: he terrifies his crew, brutalises his enemies, has no fear (except of the crocodile), shows great intelligence, and is passionate about William Shakespeare's plays.

Rumstick is described in By Force of Arms as a great, "jolly bear of a man." He is very large and very strong, and shows it in the first Revolution book when he picks up the Icarus' boatswain's mate and tosses him overboard after seeing how he brutalises the crew members. Rumstick once mentioned his mother and that she hadn't failed in her duties to read him the Bible, but no other mention is made of her, or the rest of his family. He met Isaac Biddlecomb in 1764 when he signed aboard William Stanton's ship the Providence, on which Isaac had been working for a year, following the death of his father.

The camp's commander, Major Nakamura, a methamphetamine addict who pushes his prisoners harder and harder out of the fear of failing the Emperor, is in his own way just as much a prisoner of the railroad project as the men he brutalises. A major theme of the novel concerns the Australian value of "mateship"-a sense of camaraderie and loyalty-or the absence of "mateship" on the Burma Death Railroad. Among the POWs is the energetic and hardworking Tiny Middleton who wants "to show them little yellow bastards what a white man is" by overfilling his work quotas, thereby inspiring the Japanese to set higher work quotas that lead to the deaths of the weaker POWs. Other POWs include the artistic Rabbit Hendricks who secretly makes drawings of camp life; the white supremacist Rooster MacNeice who has trouble accepting he is now a prisoner of the Japanese; and the defiant Darky Gardiner who is repeatedly beaten by the guards and finally drowns himself in a latrine full of excrement rather than endure another beating.
