List of characters

Theo is a major character in Celeste. He climbs the mountain alongside Madeline throughout many of the game's earlier chapters. His primary justification for climbing the mountain is to take pictures to increase his number of followers on InstaPix, (aka game instagram version) a social media platform; he additionally supports Madeline on various occasions, especially between the end of Golden Ridge to Reflection. He can be found in all chapters except Prologue, The Summit and Core.

As revealed at the start of Reflection, Theo has a sister named Alex, who has a lot of similarities to Madeline, such as living so deep inside her own head.

Selfie taken in Old Site with filter applied. Before climbing Celeste Mountain, as indicated by his Instapix account, Theo lived in California before moving to Seattle, where he got a job he hated, eventually quitting it and moving to Vancouver. Then he decided to visit Celeste Mountain due to his recently deceased grandfather travelling there. Theo can be first interacted with in Forsaken City. There they talk with Madeline about the city, among other things. In Old Site he shows Madeline the photos of the ruins, and then they take a selfie. Theo also reveals that his grandpa was semi-famous in the photography world, which made Theo to want to try photography. In Celestial Resort, Theo, who arrived at the hotel before Madeline, can be seen trying to pry off the vent cover in order to get out of the hotel. There, he calls Mr. Oshiro a "creepy old weirdo", and, when Madeline refuses to escape with him, tells her to take care of herself before he proceeds with escaping. This interaction is mandatory and can not be avoided. In the first room of Elevator Shaft checkpoint, Theo can be interacted with by going to the right after passing the shaft. There he blasts off yet another vent cover, mentioning that "it's a maze in here". Theo then insists Madeline on escaping the hotel after she tells him about the huge mess she cleaned, and upon Madeline refusing tells that he didn't expect her to listen and calls her a "jailbird". Selfie taken at the end of Golden Ridge Theo appears at the end cutscene of Golden Ridge. He "nails" the jump down to Madeline and the gondola by landing face-down on the ground. He's excited to try it out and they both ride the gondola, talking about the events of the previous chapter. Theo then proposes to take a selfie, when a gondola stalls out, possibly by Badeline. Madeline is shown to be having a panic attack. Theo then tells Madeline to close her eyes, picture a feather, and breathe slow and steady, up and down, to keep it floating. After completing this minigame, the gondola starts moving again. Madeline thanks Theo for helping her calm down, and Theo shows her the selfie.
