Description: A hulking man with gigantic muscles, he wears loose pants and a collared shirt complete with sweater beneath his coat. He wears his silver hair down. He has a dull look in his gray eyes.

He is however greedy and will demand payment and proof of collateral's value and will produce a merchant's scale to make sure he is not cheated out of a speck.

Personality: He has schizophrenia that causes him to hear things that aren't there and will sometimes respond to them. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Bulzo is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: Bulzo was born the youngest of three triplets. Being born in the west, he completed his medical training abroad so as to avoid the war. He returned after the war having achieved medical proficiency. He was a general practitioner in the west for years, until he, through no fault of his own, lost a patient who had a very powerful family. Rather than risk reprisal he made his way north. In his journeys he found a malevolent artifact. He wishes to return this artifact and its corrupting influence back to where it came.

History: She was born to a wealthy landowner in a frontier town, living a normal and happy childhood. Purah liked to wander the woods near her home when she was young, something she still likes to do at least once a week.
