The first main character is Sanger Rainsford, a big-game hunter. I suppose the second could be Whitney, but he was not a large character in the story. The next character who is the second main character and antagonist is Zaroff, a famous Russian game hunter.
Rainsford spends his first night of the hunt up in a tree. He makes sure to leave no clues for General Zaroff to find.
Major General is the lower rank.
