Dantes the Count of Monte Cristo • Dantes is the main character of the novel. At the age of nineteen he is wrongfully imprisoned, escaping fourteen years later. When he returns to society, having found buried treasure, he becomes very rich and shrewd. It's at this point where he changes his name to the Count of Monte Cristo. The rest of the story is dedicated to the count's pursuit of revenge against the enemies who imprisoned him. Though for a time the count almost sees himself acting in place of God, eventually he is humbled and learns that God alone possesses the power to punish and forgive.
Mercédès • Mercedes is the fiancé of Dantes but concedes to marry Fernand after Dantes is imprisoned. Although she later reminisces with Monte Cristo years later, she realizes she's destined to a life of solitude and sorrow.
Fernand Mondego • Fernand is a co-conspirator of Danglars, also responsible for Dantes' imprisonment. After Dantes is put in jail, Fernand marries Mercedes and they have a son named Albert. By the end of the story, Fernand's evil deeds are avenged, and he is humiliated in a scandal, which drives him to suicide.
Danglars • Danglars is the chief villain of the story, being most directly responsible for Dantes' imprisonment. Danglars grows very rich as an investment banker but in the end of the story Monte Cristo gets his revenge, leaving Danglars without family or fortune.
Villefort • Monsieur Villefort is another archenemy of Dantes, being the chief magistrate who put Dantes in jail for political and personal reasons. Villefort had an affair with Madame Danglars, which produced a baby whom he tried to get rid of by burying. In the end, Villefort's secret past is revealed and he is shamed before the whole community.
Faria • Faria is the cellmate of Dantes who teaches him about the world and leaves him with a mode of escape
Edmond is sailing in French waters along with his best friend, Fernand, when their captain falls ill. They stop for help at a nearby island, which happens to be where Napoleon Bonaparte is in hiding. Bonaparte pulls aside Edmond and asks him to deliver an "innocent letter" to an old friend in Marseille, France.

Edmond agrees, as that is the price for the use of Napoleon's physician. The captain unfortunately dies, so the crew returns home to Marseille. Edmond is made captain for his bravery in seeking a physician, and the first mate comes to despise him for it.
Fernand finds out about the letter, and reads it while Edmond is sleeping, and is angry that Edmond did not tell him about it. Edmond, not knowing that Fernand knows about the letter, rushes to greet his fiancé, Mercedes, and tell her that they can now be married as he was just promoted to captain. This is also interesting case when I realize that Fernand is in love with Mercedes, but she loves Edmond.
Fernand, still angry, decides to work together with the furious first mate, and get Edmond arrested for treason, which he didn't commit. Fernand works also with a very important magistrate, Villefort, who's father is the man Edmond was to deliver the letter to. (Villefort does not know this).
Edmond is arrested, and thrown into a remote island prison by the name of Chateau D'if. There, he meets Priest, who teaches him many valuable lessons about life, how to sword fight, and give Edmond a proper education. All this is in turn for Edmond helping to dig, in order to escape the prison.
For 13 years, Edmond is held captive in the Chateau D'if, and unknown to Edmond, a letter was sent to his family and Mercedes saying that he was executed on grounds of treason. Finally, Edmond escapes when the priest dies, and becomes part of a crew on a merchant vessel, along with his good friend Jaccapo.
After 3 months, Edmond is released along with Jaccapo, and they go in search of finding out what has happened to Edmond's loved ones. They find out that Edmond's father committed suicide, and the Mercedes wed Fernand a month after learning of Edmond's execution. Edmond has by this time (with the help of the priest while in prison) figured out that he was framed by Fernand and the others.
He and Jaccapo sail to a remote island that the Priest told Edmond about, and there they find a treasure, making Edmond extremely wealthy. Edmond decides to become a count in order to get revenge on those who betrayed him, so he becomes The Count of Monte Cristo, being the treasure he found The Treasure of Monte Cristo.
Soon after, he "saves" Fernand and Mercedes' son Albert from captivity, and thus enters the lives of those he is trying to hurt like they hurt him. Mercedes begins to suspect that The Count is really Edmond, and when she confronts him privately, he denies it and she realizes that he really is Edmond.
Then, they kiss, and realize that they are still in love, so Mercedes goes back ot her Chateau to inform Fernand that she is leaving him, when Fernand tells her that he has gone bankrupt which is really Edmond's doing, but he doesn't know this and is leaving the country.
By this time, Villefort has been convicted of murdering his father and sent to jail, also doings of Edmond's. Mercedes precedes to inform Fernand that Albert is not his son, but Edmond's.
Fernand becomes angry and goes out to his old, abandoned villa to collect the gold he had supposedly stolen from The Count of Monte Cristo, only to find that it is not there. Then, Edmond shows up, and tells Fernand where he has been all these years, and they begin a duel, only to be stopped by Mercedes and Alber.
Mercedes then tells Edmond that Alber is really his son, not Fernand's. Fernand then shoots Mercedes in the shoulder (she lives) and runs off. Edmond follows him and they begin sword fighting again. Finally, Edmond kills Fernand, and goes back to Mercedes and Alber and Jaccapo. At the very end, Edmond buys the Chateau D'if thanks the Priest for his wisdom and help.
