It's a cast list that you fill out and—if the Show Title Page & Cast option has been clicked in Format Options (as shown in the preceding section), a cast list is added just before the script and after the title page, which looks as follows:

This feature should not be confused with the Master Catalog in the Project Library window, where Celtx automatically tracks all characters with a speaking part (and lets us manually add the bit players with nonspeaking roles).
