Summary
Solo Leveling’s success can be attributed to many factors, but perhaps what often gets little to no credit is its unique cast of characters. This perhaps can be attributed to the protagonist’s overwhelming presence, which often overshadows other characters' powers and struggles.
However, the series would be incomplete without its diverse supporting cast, who bring more depth to the overall narrative and also add their unique perspectives. With the series guaranteed to be green-lit for its third season, here are a few characters expected to make a debut.
1Adam White
Recruiter Working For The Federal Bureau Of Hunters
The head of the Federal Bureau of Hunters' Asian Branch, Adam White, is a level-headed person who handles sensitive situations with professionalism. It is heavily implied in the manhwa that he plays a crucial role in recruiting hunters for America.
When Jinwoo makes heads turnwith his incredible achievements, Adam is entrusted with the responsibility of approaching him and convincing him to join the United States.
2Norma Selner
Federal Bureau Of Hunters' Upgrader
Norma Selner is a calm and amicablemiddle-aged woman who has been employed by the American government ever since her unique upgrading and precognition talent was recognized. As a fiercely loyal citizen, she has helped her country recruit some of the most talented hunters from around the world by offering to upgrade their abilities.
Before, darkness existed deep inside you… Now you are the darkness itself.

Niermann is also quite intelligent and understands the importance of creating diplomatic ties that can serve the greater good of his country in the long run.Lennart is ranked the 12th-best hunterin the world and is most likely better than every Asian hunter, except for Sung Jinwoo and Liu Zhigang.

5Yuri Orloff
One Of Russia’s Best Hunters
Yuri Orloff is a morally bankrupt and hubristic man who is willing to use tragedies as an opportunity to make money. Regarded as the best support-type hunter in the world, his barrier magic is quite advanced and is often in high demand because of its unique applications.
As a mage-type hunter, Yuri’s fighting skills are below average, but he more than makes up for it using his superior magic powers. Like Japan’s Goto Ryuji, Orloff is willing to take other people’s lives and engage in shady activities as long as they make him money.
6Querehsha
Queen Of Insects
Querehsha is the Monarch of Plagues. Like most of her peers, she is extremely cruel and conceited. Querehsha takes sadistic pleasure in putting others through pain and playing with their lives.
It should not come as a surprise that her bloodthirst is so consuming that she is almost fearless and even makes reckless decisions. Interestingly, Querehsha has a soft spot for insects and cares deeply about them.
7Christopher Reed
America’s Second Strongest Hunter
Christopher Reed is a National Level Hunterand one of the five brave fighters whodefeated the dragon Kamish. He is somewhat arrogant but is also open-minded enough to listen to other people’s opinions, depending on the situation.
Due to his reputation and talent, Christopher has amassed quite a fortune for himself and is one of the wealthiest hunters in the world. One of Reed’s powers includes transforming into a humanoid monster, and he is capable of creating flames so deadly that it takes several S-rankers to extinguish them.
8Ashborn
The Shadow Monarch
Known as the King of the Dead, Ashborn is one of the strongest beings in existence. He is gifted with powers that can strike fear into the hearts of even the Monarchs. Despite being so strong, Ashborn is not corrupted by his powers and values life deeply.
I am the record of your struggles, the evidence of your resistance, and the reward of your sufferings. I am Death, I am Eternal Rest, I am Terror.
Ashborn is one of the few characters who genuinely desire peace and is actively trying to ensure that balance is maintained in the world. His ambitious battle for the greater good leads to some tough decisions that eventually influence the human world in complex ways.
