Next, we have Lan Wangji, aka Lan Zhan, aka Hanguan-Jun, aka second of the Twin Jades of Lan. He is upright, talented, virtuous, aloof and stone cold horny for Wei Wuxian.pic.twitter.com/O8gn2MVgK7

And then we have the Wen Clan, who come in two flavours: the Qishan Wen, who are power-hungry assholes, and their Dafan Mountain cousins, a family of doctors trying to navigate family loyalty to shitty relatives while trying not to get killed or be shitty themselves.
From the Qishan Wen, we have Wen Chao, aka This Fucking Asshole. Truly the Dirt Fuckin' Worst. Just Look At This Guy! He Fucking Sucks So Bad.pic.twitter.com/gn17NUKlqa
Better than Wen Chao in every possible way is his henchman, Wen Zhuliu, aka Core-Melting Hand. A Wen by conversion who owes everything to the clan, he is dangerous, powerful and Wen Chao's enforcer-slash-babysitter.pic.twitter.com/HU06yvG0gp
Rounding out the Qishan contingent is Wang Lingjiao, aka Jiaojiao, Wen Chao's mistress. She's cruel, vain, petty and just the absolute worst.pic.twitter.com/NY205udDhY
From the Dafan Wen, we have Wen Qing, a healer and protective older sister. Jiang Cheng falls in love with her because honestly who wouldn't? A true queen who stays loyal to those she loves while trying to keep them safe.pic.twitter.com/BAF7WCtC17
Wen Ning, aka the Ghost General, is Wen Qing's younger brother. Either a killing machine or a pure cinnamon roll: there is no in between. Friends with Wei Wuxian. Deserving of Love and Protection.pic.twitter.com/Vt5Pu4c3y5
Finally, we have Wen Yuan, a precious baby child and war orphan. He doesn't show up until later but he is VERY cute and important and you WILL want to protect him with your entire life, as do Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji.pic.twitter.com/ezaGcOjFex
Returning now to the adults in the cultivation world, we have the elders/leaders of the clans - they matter a great deal to the plot in narrative terms, but don't show up as much as the younger generations. When they do, though, it matters.
From the Jiang Clan of Lotus Pier, we have Jiang Fengmian. Trying to be a good dad, leader and husband, but a bit too proud of Wei Wuxian at Jiang Cheng's expense.pic.twitter.com/G02batfNn4
His wife is Yu Ziyuan, aka Madam Yu, aka Lady Violet Spider. She takes no prisoners, gives no fucks, and excels at tough love. Not Wei Wuxian's biggest fan but will do anything for Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli. A stone-cold badass who gets four photos here because I say so.pic.twitter.com/PFMr4FUq6e
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE, the purple lightning whip Zidian is originally hers. She uses it onscreen. wlw, you have been warned.
Head of the Wen Clan, Wen Ruohan. Kicks off the plot by getting obsessed with evil Yin Iron and trying to take over the cultivation world. Literally has an evil throne in a palace surrounded by lava. Bad guy.pic.twitter.com/ldPSTUzVGj
Lan Qiren, elder of the Lan Clan and uncle to Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen. His clan has three thousand rules graven in stone on a wall and he loves every single one of them. Obsessed with the letter of the law to the point of sometimes forgetting its spirit, but not actually bad.pic.twitter.com/FaYYFlLUhw
Finally for the clan leaders, we have Jin Guangshan, aka World's Worst Dad To All His Bastard Children. Rich skeezeball dad of Jin Zixuan and Meng Yao. A missing stair in human form.pic.twitter.com/E3dGq4qQP8
And for completion's sake, here are some clan bit players: three dudes who suck and a woman who deserves better. L to R, top to bottom, they are: Su She, aka Su Minshan (originally a Lan disciple); Jin Zixun (shitty Jin cousin), Wen Xu (Wen Chao's bro) and Qin Su (a Jin wife).pic.twitter.com/jiybJ1kqcJ
With that done, there's only two main groups left, and I've arguably saved the best for last: the Juniors Quartet, who appear in the present-day timeline, and the Yi City Squad, who show up mostly in their own bits in the past. I'll start with the juniors.
First among juniors, we have Lan Sizhui, aka Lan Wangji's son. Precious angel. A good sweet boy who is kind and clever and deserves the world. The first person to show compassion to newly-resurrected Wei Wuxian in his guise as Mo Xuanyu.pic.twitter.com/mrwmddX8fH
Also from the Lans, we have Lan Jingyi, aka Lan Sizhui's loudmouth BFF. Snarky on main and not afraid to tell you to shut up.pic.twitter.com/2Xd7zIoVYw
Ouyang Zizhen is a curious, loyal, outspoken friend to Lan Sizhui, Lan Jingyi and Jin Ling. His dad sucks, so let's assume he takes after his mother.pic.twitter.com/WpHUxpNaGq
Rounding out the juniors is Jin Ling, aka Jin Rulan, the son of Jiang Yanli and Jin Zixuan. About two seconds away from yelling at all times, he has several chips on his shoulder. Takes after Jiang Cheng a lot. Absolutely needs a hug but would stab you before admitting it.pic.twitter.com/reKIgZixTH
And then there's the Yi City Squad. Let's start with Xue Yang, a sexy murder puppy whose main emotions are Stab and Flirt. Does not make good life choices, but does so in a very compelling way.pic.twitter.com/teJVlVBgDV
Next is Xiao Xingchen, aka the bright moon and gentle breeze. Too good for this sinful world. Gay for Song Lan (and possibly Xue Yang, depending on your preferences).pic.twitter.com/Ug8D8Gtu2C
Song Lan, aka Song Zichen, aka the distant snow and cold frost. Gay for Xiao Xingchen, but with Angst.pic.twitter.com/VkIeJ07wwB
And finally, we have A-Qing, a mischevious girl who is not as blind as she pretends to be. Sort of Xiao Xingchen's adoptive daughter.pic.twitter.com/9lvpsZtzhL
OH ALSO there's Clan Leaders Yao and Ouyang, who really only show up to talk shit about everyone else and be smug assholes, but they're plot relevant I GUESS so here they are.pic.twitter.com/x05nvwgok0
And there you have it: your guide to The Untamed, a show about the Venn diagram of overlap between being gay, doing crimes and fighting The Man for justice. Also there are occasional bunnies! COME WATCH IT AND YELL WITH US.
Coming back on this thread to apologise for miswriting Chen Qing Ling as Cheng Ching Ling in an earlier tweet; I should’ve double checked it before posting.
