The Man-Thing had only three so-called friends in total.
The first was the town sheriff, John Dattari, who had been transferred to Orange Town from elsewhere. He had originally been a firm atheist, but after working in Orange Town for a year, his worldview had been completely reshaped. Now, whenever a case came up, this somewhat neurotic man's first thought was whether it was an accident involving the Mystic Side.

They were fairly ordinary young people who did not even know that their seemingly kind and amiable grandfather was actually the leader of a cult, and that every relative and friend in their family was a crazed cultist.
Jennifer attended Orange University during the day, majoring in agricultural machinery. At night, she performed striptease at a local nightclub called Juicy Orange to make a living, earning fifty US Dollars each night.
