Race: HanYou [Half-Demom]
Ability: Black Magic User
Origin: Cave (Of Onigumo)
Relatives: None
Love Interests: Kikyo
Minions: His Detachments, Kohaku & Saimyoushou
Naraku is the result of the joining of hundreds of demons and a human. Onigumo, a thief who had been seriously burned (the spider-shaped scar on Naraku's back is reminiscent of Onigumo), was being taken care of by Kikyou and Kaede. His dirty love for Kikyou, formed in a twisted mind, allowed demons to consume his body, and give him the one he has now. Naraku, still retaining some "feelings" for Kikyou since Onigumo still exists within his heart, is causing havoc for many people. He was the one who tricked Kikyou and Inuyasha into believing that one had betrayed the other. Naraku's goal is to gather all the shards from the Shikon no Tama [Jewel of Four Souls] and become a full demon. When he first appears to the Yasha gang after his initial confrontation with Inuyasha and Kikyou, he has taken the identity of a wakatono [young lord] named Hitomi Kagewaki. The real lord either died from something natural, or was killed by Naraku.
Personality:
Naraku lets others do the dirty work for him. His detachments (demons born from his body) terrorize the Yasha gang while Naraku stays behind the scenes. So far, his detachments include: #1-Kanna, #2-Kagura, #3-Goshinki, #4/5-Kageroumaru & Juuroumaru, and the latest is #6-Hakudoushi. He tried to release the part of him that contained Onigumo (renamed Musou), but little bits of Onigumo were still inside Naraku, and Naraku was forced to re-absorb Musou.
Skills:
Naraku can regenerate body parts, create weapons with his body, control demons, fly, generate detachments, form miasmas (a noxious and corrosive atmosphere/fog), and hide his scent and demonic energy using his extremely powerful barriers. The toxic energy his body releases if injured is called shouki, and he uses it to form the miasmas (those who try to injure him or bite him have a nasty surprise). To "observe" things outside his castle and to protect his cowardly @$$, Naraku uses kugutsu [Puppets]. They're the monkey-suit/tentacle-monster things that the Yasha gang sometimes fights.

Kanna
Name: Kanna
Occupation: Servant of Naraku
Age: 10 (Appearance in Human Years)
Gender: Female
Race: Detachment of Naraku
Ability: Mirror User
Origin: Naraku's body
Relatives: Kagura & Other Detachments
Love Interests: None
Pet/Retainer: None
Kanna is the very first of Naraku's detachments. She uses a mirror to steal the souls of living people and can manipulate the resulting soul-less bodies (or have others do so). At one point, she had to take time to repair her mirror after a very large soul (Kagome's soul) was too big for it and cracked it. We see fleeting glimpses of her at first, but she appears a bit more regularly in the show once we hit the Shichinintai arc of the series. She hasn't been thwarted by the Yasha gang yet and has always been loyal to Naraku, unlike Kagura. She is often seen with Kohaku once her appearances become more regular, but he's just as often seen with Kagura as well. She does Naraku's more important jobs that don't involve killing (that's Kohaku's area), and usually is the one giving orders to the other detachments.
Personality:
Her name in English means "nihility" and that's just what she is. She's completely devoid of emotion, even coloring, and she speaks with a soft, chilly voice. You could say that she has no personality at all.
Skills:
Like I said earlier, she has the ability to use her mirror to pull in the souls of living beings and manipulate the leftover bodies as she wishes (or have someone else do so, like Kagura). Her mirror also serves as one of Naraku's ways to observe things outside of his vision.

Hakudoushi
Name: Hakudoushi
Occupation: Servant of Naraku
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Race: Detachment of Naraku
Ability: unknown
Origin: Naraku's body
Relatives: Kanna, Kagura & Other Detachments
Love Interests: None
Pet: Entei
The sixth detachment of Naraku, Akago (AKA Naraku's baby) started out as an infant with powers to find the smallest shred of evil in anyone and use it to control that person. His powers, when used on a dying person, could see a foggy world that he suspected to be "the world between this one and the next," and it was his mission as Naraku's detachment to find a way to enter it. Once when he was looking into the heart of a powerful monk on the verge of death, the monk used the last of his holy powers to effectively sever him in half length-wise. (Eww). Kagura was given one half, and Kanna took the other half. Kagura's half grew into a boy that looked to be somewhere between eight and ten-years-old in human years (he became Hakudoushi), but Kanna's half remained as a baby (a whole baby). Hakudoushi, as Kagura discovered one night, does not have a heart inside of him. So, the baby with Kanna, if Kagura's suspicions are correct, is the one who carries the heart. The baby might even be carrying Naraku's heart.
Personality:
Hakudoushi is very arrogant, treating Kagura like his expendable assistant. He knows of Kagura's attempts to betray Naraku, and since he has some sort of mental link with Naraku that Kagura does not, if she tries anything, he can genuinely threaten to kill her for it. He's also very insightful and seemingly omniscient.
Skills:
His skills include being able to wield weapons very well (so he's much stronger and faster than his appearance). The weapon he favors currently is a spear. He can regenerate without end because no attack can kill him (after all, his heart is safe in the baby leftover from the other half of Akago). He also has a very powerful barrier like Naraku, so Inuyasha's Kaze no Kizu [Wound of the Wind] attack has no effect. Lastly, he rode the demon horse Entei for a few episodes, but Entei was beaten by Inuyasha recently, so now he has no ride. Aww...
