Description: This man is bedraggled and starved. He tends to wear a heavy leather apron. Coupled with his rolled up shirt sleeves this gives him a very relaxed look. His gray fur is slicked back into a classic pompadour. His face is covered beneath a completely black helmet.

Personality: He is curt in most of his responses. He prefers to keep his word usage to a minimum to avoid giving away unnecessary information. He spends most of his days drinking in the Inn, the rowdiest and most dangerous establishment in town. There he gambles, wrestles and listens to stories told by travelers.

History: Born in the west his family was never financially stable. While he appears to be a normal Tabaxi, he's... not quite right. Perhaps he's slightly insane, or otherwise so mentally alien to the rest of the world that he plain doesn't fit in. He got away from his former life and has fallen to alcoholism.

Motivation: To reunite with his old friends; and a need for knowledge about a nearby landmark

Voice: Strong lisp

Possessions: 160 gp.

Description: He wears a shirt and pants that are bristling with pockets overflowing with maps, compasses, and other navigational equipment. He carries with him a set of kukris on his belt, each one with a amber on the hilt. His hair is cut close to his head. Judging by the bloodshot nature of his eyes and the massive bags underneath them one would imagine he has not slept for days.

Personality: This man loves singing and to teach people singing more than just about anything. He never wears the same outfit twice, unless he absolutely has to.

History: Akmen was born to in a poor docking district. He spent his early days working in the same smith shop his father was employed at, doing general labor.

Description: This man is unhealthily muscled, almost every single one of his veins is visible when he is not flexing.

He has several tiny amethyst earrings on each ear.

Personality: He considers himself the perfect gentleman. He makes a point to always show proper etiquette and frequently critiques the etiquette of others. His actions favor neither the good nor the evil, as he answers to a power that mortal men fail to acknowledge.

History: He was raised happily, as a normal child born to his mother and father. His mother taught him the rudiments of the Miller arts, while his father instructed him in etiquette, music and courtly manner. He struck it rich when he found rare goods in large quantities.
