Enoch is a peculiar who lives at Miss Peregrine’s home. His ability is that he can take a preserved heart from one living being and use it to revive a dead being. Enoch typically uses this talent to take hearts from mice and place them in inanimate clay soldiers. He also occasionally revives Victor, and towards the end of the book, he revives Martin so the children can figure out what killed him. Enoch is often depicted as cruel, deliberately hurting the clay soldiers and toying with other people’s emotions.

Quotes
Others might call the state of being they subsequently assumed a kind of living damnation. Weeks later there began a series of attacks upon peculiars by awful creatures who, apart from their shadows, could not be seen except by peculiars like yourself—our very first clashes with the hollowgast. It was some time before we realized that these tentacle-mawed abominations were in fact our wayward brothers, crawled from the smoking crater left behind by their experiment. Rather than becoming gods, they had transformed themselves into devils.
