Mortal Engines Quotes
Tom Natsworthy
Tom begins the story as a naive Apprentice Historian, utterly loyal to London's ideology. His quotes often reflect his initial innocence and his horror as he discovers the city's dark secrets.
Anna Fang
A legendary aviator and staunch agent of the Anti-Traction League, Anna Fang is a figure of near-mythical status. Her quotes are sharp, pragmatic, and carry the weight of her long war against the predator cities. She sees the world without illusions, understanding the cost of freedom. Her ship, the Jenny Haniver, becomes a symbol of hope and defiance, a mobile sanctuary for Tom and Hester in a world of constant threat.
Magnus Crome
As the Lord Mayor of London, Magnus Crome is the cold, calculating embodiment of Municipal Darwinism. He is not a flamboyant villain, but a ruthless bureaucrat who believes his city's survival justifies any atrocity.
His quotes are often clinical and devoid of emotion, viewing entire towns and populations as mere resources to be consumed for London's continued dominance.
Thaddeus Valentine
Every villain needs a public face, and the dashing Head Historian Thaddeus Valentine plays the part of a hero perfectly. He is adored by London's populace but is secretly the man carrying out Crome's darkest plans, including the development of the superweapon MEDUSA.

His quotes often carry a double meaning, masking his cruel history and pragmatic villainy behind a veneer of charm and intellectualism. He is the man who gave Hester her scar, a fact that defines both their lives.
Hester Shaw
Fueled by a singular desire for revenge against Valentine, Hester is the fierce, damaged heart of the story. Her quotes are often blunt, cynical, and laced with pain.

She is not a conventional hero; she is a survivor. Her journey from a vengeful outcast to someone capable of love is central to the entire saga, making her one of modern fantasy's most compelling characters.
Shrike
The Stalker Shrike is a tragic and terrifying figure - a resurrected soldier of the Sixty Minute War whose mind and body have been horrifically rebuilt. He raised Hester after her parents' murder, and his programming compels him to hunt her down after she breaks her promise to become a Stalker like him. His quotes are haunting and disjointed, hinting at the fragments of the man he once was and his twisted, undying affection for the girl he considers his own.
Nimrod Pennyroyal
Appearing in the second novel, *Predator's Gold*, Nimrod Pennyroyal is a celebrated author and "historian" who is, in reality, a complete fraud. His books are filled with fantastical lies, yet the world eagerly consumes them. He represents a different kind of predator—one who feeds on fame and ignorance. His quotes are pompous and self-aggrandizing, providing a satirical look at celebrity culture in a post-apocalyptic world.
Some of these quotes are almost as good as Han Solo and Obi-Wan's efforts!
