Fagin- Head of the thieves/pickpocket, criminal mastermind, very evil

Artful Dodger- Thieve/pickpocket, around 17-23 years old

Bill Sikes- Thieve/criminal, associated with Fagin and his crew, is Nancy's "boyfriend", very evil and very violent

Brownlow- A very kind and wealthy gentleman+mistakes Oliver for a thieve, but later finds out that he was wrong about Oliver and that Oliver is a sickly orphan and he brings Oliver to live with him

Miss Monks- an extremely evil thieve, oliver's half brother (but Oliver doesn't know it until the end of the story), tries to get Oliver to commit a crime so that their father's fortune will go all to her


Mr!. Bumble- Runs the workhouse parish with Mrs!. Corney, who he marries in the early-middle of the story, Mr!. Bumble is very mean to the orphans that live at the workhouse
