The Citizen This gross, ardently nationalistic anti-Semite, who can see reality with only one eye, is Joyce's modern-day equivalent of a cyclops. He throws a biscuit tin at Bloom at the end of "The Cyclops" as Bloom escapes in a "chariot" and ascends into "heaven." The Citizen is based on Michael ("Citizen") Cusack (1847-1907), whose purpose in life was to revive Gaelic games in Ireland.
Martha Clifford Bloom's pen pal and platonic lover, with whom he corresponds under the pseudonym Henry Flower. Martha is one of at least 44 respondents to Bloom's ad: "Wanted smart lady typist to aid gentleman in literary work." She is one of the mysteries in Ulysses since her name is undoubtedly false.
Mrs. Clinch A respectable woman whom Bloom once almost accosted, thinking that she was a prostitute.
Cochrane An inattentive student whom Stephen calls on at the start of his class in Mr. Deasy's school in "Nestor."
Father Francis Coffey He performs the Absolution during the burial service of Paddy Dignam in Glasnevin Cemetery in "Hades." He corresponds to Cerberus, the mythical dog that guards the entrance to Hell, or Hades.
Bella Cohen Joyce's parallel to Homer's Circe, who turns men into swine. She tries to cheat Stephen during the Nighttown Episode, but Bloom saves Stephen's money by threatening to reveal that Bella is financing her son's way through Oxford by her earnings from prostitution. Bella becomes Bello (masculine) during Bloom's major masochistic "hallucination" in "Circe."
Father John Conmee, S. J. The rector of Clongowes Wood College who saved Stephen from a beating in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man; he appears in "The Wandering Rocks," when he reminisces about his days at Clongowes.
John Corley From "Two Gallants" in Dubliners. Corley sponges money from Stephen as Stephen and Bloom are heading for the cabman's shelter in "Eumaeus."
"Father" Bob Cowley A spoiled priest, "Father" Cowley is one of the illusions in "The Wandering Rocks!' since he is called by his first name, Bob, an odd appellation for a priest.
Cranly Stephen's close friend in Book Five of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. In that novel, he serves a role similar to Buck Mulligan's in Ulysses.
Myles Crawford Editor of the Evening Telegraph; he rejects the compromise made between Bloom and Alexander Keyes over the ad for the House of Keyes (Keys), and his blithe (and drunken) attitude costs Bloom his main monetary gain of June 16.
