While not 'characters' in the traditional sense, the dormant bodies controlled by the boy via the mind-control helmets act as extensions of his abilities. These bodies are essential for solving many puzzles, allowing the boy to manipulate heavy objects, activate distant switches, or create pathways he couldn't otherwise reach. They are a tool, a resource, and a key element of the game's puzzle design. Their collective strength and numbers become increasingly important as the game progresses.
