@frosenblum I'm glad you noticed; that's done entirely on purpose.
I have too many damn characters in and out of stories and scenes to expect anyone to immediately remember them all. Someone like say Harley, Ritch, or Chipper, most everyone who's a fan will recognize the moment they're mentioned, but even then I try to provide their full name and how they fit into the story at least once in a story. More frequent references to cast members readers don't know as well are common.
