Kevin Wendell Crumb

The Horde wouldn't exist without Kevin Wendell Crumb, who is the first, and therefore his true, identity. As a child, his father was killed in a train accident, leaving his unstable mother to raise him. As we learn in both Split and in Glass, his mom was severely abusive and had obsessive-compulsive disorder. Because of her nonstop physical, verbal, and emotional attacks — at one point in Glass, we see her going after a very young Kevin with a hot iron — he begins creating other identities to protect himself.

Although he already had dissociative identity disorder before his father's death, Kevin's home life forced him to retreat further and further into his new identities in order to cope, and he eventually lost control over which one of them was in control, or as the film describes it, "in the light." Whenever Kevin's real identity emerges, he typically has no memory of what his other identities have been up to.

The Beast

The Beast is Kevin's 24th and final identity. It's also volatile and his strongest, deadliest, and most aggressive personality. The Beast first appears at the conclusion of Split, after Dennis is seen leaving flowers for Kevin's late father at a train station. He then boards an empty train car, and The Horde is able to transform — mentally and physically — into what they label "the Beast." When he emerges, he's much more muscular than Kevin typically is; his veins bulge and pulse with a dark liquid running through them, and his eyes turn almost completely black. He's also able to climb on the walls and ceiling like Spider-Man, he can bend steel bars and run at top speed, and he remains strong by consuming human flesh (he eats two girls in Split and chows down on a few others in Glass).

At the end of Split, The Beast is chalked up to being a mixture of the animals that Kevin worked with at the Philadelphia Zoo by police. But in Glass, The Beast tells Elijah Price (aka Mr. Glass) and David Dunn (aka The Overseer) that he came about as the ultimate way of protecting Kevin from his mother's horrors.

Patricia

Since she lacks The Beast's strength, Ms. Patricia prefers to cut with her words. She's an older, proper British woman who sees herself as the caretaker of the other identities, attempting to order them around and make them do her bidding. While she can come off as calm and polite at first, it doesn't take much to push her buttons. This is most evident in the sandwich scene in Split, when she needs to cut it in half just so, which has echoes of Kevin's mother's OCD. In Glass, she's just as chilling as ever and firmly on #TeamBeast. She spends most of the film trying to weasel information about David Dunn out of Dr. Staple and convincing the rest of The Horde that The Beast's violent, murderous ways are the only way.

Hedwig

Hedwig is a 9-year-old boy obsessed with hip-hop — in Glass he notes that his latest obsession is Drake, even though he still has love for Nicki Minaj — who bonds with Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy) after she and two other girls are captured by the Dennis identity in Split. His lisp makes him the most easy to discern from the others, as well as his childlike behaviour (dancing on tables, as you can see in the photo above). Although he's naive and harmless (for the most part), he's able to control Kevin's body pretty much whenever he wants. That ability makes him useful to Patricia, who begins using him to exert her own control over The Horde in Glass.

Jade

Jade appears in both Split and Glass, although just briefly. In the earlier film, she's introduced through the video logs that Casey stumbles upon in Kevin's lair. She's flirty and youthful, and she has to take insulin shots for her diabetes. She emerges in Glass just once in the psychiatric facility, when an orderly, Daryl, brings her a tray with her insulin shots on it. Because of the way Kevin's room is set up, if he moves too close to a barrier near the door, lights hooked up to the wall will flash and cycle his personalities. Jade attempts to get past this by lying on the floor of the room seductively and pretending to drop her insulin. When Daryl reaches to pick it up, she tries to stab him and escape. (Spoiler alert: it doesn't work.)

Dennis

Dennis just might be Kevin's creepiest identity (other than The Beast, of course). He's the first identity we're introduced to in Split when he kidnaps three teenage girls. It's later revealed that he enjoys watching young girls dance naked for him, and he goes so far as to ask one of the girls he kidnaps to do so. (Most of The Horde seem to be grossed out by this behaviour as well and try to keep him from emerging when they can, even though he's a figure of authority, like Patricia.)

Like Kevin's mother, he also has OCD, especially when it comes to cleanliness. In Glass, he surprisingly is one of the identities who's convinced by Case and Dr. Staple that The Beast is evil. When Kevin is ultimately shot, Dennis is one of the final identities to emerge, making a comment to Casey that he needs to clean all the blood off his white pants.

Barry

Barry is one of the main identities we meet in Split, since he's the one who regularly checks in with Kevin's therapist, Dr. Fletcher. He was also the identity that got to be in charge of who could come out and take over Kevin's body, at least for a time, until Patricia, Dennis, and a few others overthrew his power. (If you'll recall, he tries to send Dr. Fletcher SOS emails throughout Split.) We don't know much else about Barry, other than that he has a great eye for fashion and hopes to be a designer.

Orwell

Like Jade, Orwell is introduced in Split through the video log on Kevin's computer and very quickly has an opportunity to speak to Casey. He says that he's a historian and is decidedly not in favour of letting The Beast take over. In Glass, he also has a quick moment on screen when Kevin is cycling through a few of his identities.

Ann and Mary Reynolds

During one of the scenes in Kevin's hospital room, we spend a few seconds meeting Ann and Mary Reynolds. The pair appear to be able to simultaneously occupy the light, have strong Irish accents, and like to criticize each other.

Norma

Norma introduces herself in Glass, proving to be a proper Southern woman with a thick accent.

Luke

McAvoy adopts another Southern accent for the identity of Luke, who only says a few things and comes off as a redneck.

Mr. Pritchard

Mr. Pritchard gets a chance in the light in Glass, where he quickly explains that he's a professor who specialises in Japanese cinema.

Heinrich

During one of Kevin's many lightning-fast cycles through the light, the voice of Heinrich, a German man, emerges.

Kat

Kat is a female identity who shows up in Glass, but we don't get to learn much else about her before the flash of light from Dr. Staple stops her from controlling Kevin.

A Spanish-Speaking Woman

An identity comes out when Dr. Staple enters Kevin's hospital room, pleading with her in Spanish for The Horde's release. The identity never gives their name.

The Rest of Kevin's Identities

Despite the fact that Glass clocks in at over two hours, we still don't get to see all of Kevin's many identities on screen. Thanks to the video log Casey finds in Split, though, we know the names of the rest of the identities, which are as follows:

• Goddard
• Bernice
• Polly
• Rakel
• Felicia
• Ansel
• Jelin
• B.T.
• Samuel
• Ian
