The Fool — Klein Moretti
Convened the club's first gathering. As founder, there is no "joining" moment for the Fool — every other member's join order is counted relative to him.
Case File — Social Map
Who Knows Whom
A working map of the Tarot Club's founding roster, filed in join order, plus the parallel identities and outside figures who orbit the cast of Lord of the Mysteries. Spoiler-free: only public relationship types and join order are recorded.

Klein (founder)
Parallel identity
Tarot Club — Founding Roster, in Join Order
Listed in the order each member first formally attended, per the novel's own narrative sequence. "The World" is one of Klein's own personas, not a tenth member.
Justice — Audrey Hall
Among the first members brought in, alongside The Hanged Man, shortly after the club's founding.
The Hanged Man — Alger Wilson
Joined at the same time as Justice; the three of them (with the Fool) form the club's original core.
The Sun — Derrick Berg
Brought into the club from Backlund's Silver City not long after the founding trio was established.
The Magician — Fors Wall
Formally attends in the earlier stretch of the club's history. Some online sources place this much later, but that appears to reflect a subsequent reunion rather than her first meeting.
The Moon — Emlyn White
Joins in the early-to-middle stretch of the club's growth.
The Hermit — Cattleya
Joins shortly after The Moon, continuing the club's mid-stage expansion.
The Star — Leonard Mitchell
Joins in the club's later founding stretch, immediately followed by Judgement.
Judgement — Xio Derecha
Joins in very close succession to The Star, rounding out the club's nine founding members.
Klein's Parallel Identities
Klein operates under several names across different circles. Listed here for disambiguation only — not a spoiler map of what each identity does.
The World
The identity Klein presents within the Tarot Club itself, distinct from his other public personas.
Gehrman Sparrow
A persona associated with high-risk, independent fieldwork outside official channels.
Sherlock Moriarty
A private-detective identity Klein maintains in a separate social circle.
Dwayne Dantès
A wealthy-magnate identity used in yet another sphere of Klein's activity.
Other Notable Figures (Outside the Tarot Club)
Not club members, but frequently discussed alongside it.
"Death" Azik Eggers
Provides Klein with guidance, historical context, and occasional direct aid as Klein learns more about the Beyonders' world. Not a formal Tarot Club member.
Will Auceptin
A Sequence 1 Beyonder of the Fate pathway, known by the epithet "Mercury Serpent."
Amon
Known as the God of Deceit, Amon is the Sequence 0 true god of the Error pathway, with a reputation for deception and theft. Instantly recognizable by the monocle he always wears, he is one of the novel's most widely discussed antagonists.
Klein Moretti ↔ Old Neil
Old Neil acted as an early mentor to Klein within the Nighthawks, introducing him to the basics of mysticism and formal investigation protocol.
Klein Moretti ↔ Leonard Mitchell
Leonard and Klein served together as Nighthawk operatives before Leonard's later Tarot Club membership as The Star.
Audrey Hall ↔ Susie
Susie accompanies Audrey as a trusted companion throughout much of her social and investigative work.
Roselle Gustav → Later Beyonders
Roselle's diary and earlier actions influence how later Beyonders understand mysteries, pathways, and the broader hidden history of the world.
