Description: This woman is bedraggled and starved. She wears grey trousers with tan and grey striped suspenders. She wears various colorful collared shirts. She wears her chestnut hair down. She is baby faced.

Personality: She is shy and timid. She has not had much interaction with people and is skittish around them. She never wears the same outfit twice, unless she absolutely has to.

History: She was born several months after her father was called into army service. When money was particularly tight she was walking through alleys when she overheard a Crown-heir hiring some criminals to sabotage a competitor.

Personality: Overbrimming with self-confidence, Alston isn't afraid of most anything. He has a strong dislike to people who do not believe in Gnomish unity. He is fiercely devoted to his mother, and views his mother's ex-spouse as an evil person for separating him from his legal half-sister.

History: He was born into a rich family. His parents died when he was young, and he was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Alston grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Alston. By chance he met his sister recently and the two have been together since.

His amber unseeing eyes seem to look past you.

Personality: He has a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor. He is not one for noise or eating so much, which is in direct contrast with his big mouthed big gutted partner. His partner is his best friend in the world. The two are very close despite being more or less each other's opposites. He is however nostalgic and wants to reunite with his old comrades. He has some compunction and patriotism and will work for the government before all other clients.

History: He was born blind and as such lacked many opportunities for work. His father was very strict, and drilled into him lessons on being the perfect gentleman. He bought a quarterstaff and has really upped his game hunting, due to his understanding of decoy and ambush.
