History: Her mother raised her in a mountain cabin. Her spouse left her for another, whom she beat to an almost bloody pulp. She did not win them back, but she came to a realization.

Description: A man with a friendly, welcoming air about him, he wears a pastel coat over a black low-cut shirt, and a feathered hat upon his head. His brown fur is knotted and matted.

Personality: He is a Navigator first and foremost. He believes firmly that knowledge should be universal. He does not trust anyone and sleeps with one eye open.

History: Born in the south to a Navigator, Pelt learned a great deal about his mother's area of expertise. He sought a place where he would be rewarded solely on the merits of his skills. This search led him directly into Navigator work with an outfit from a few towns over.

History: His father raised him in a mountain cabin. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains to a summer home near a large cave. He would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and he was stranded inside. His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the plains due to the painful memories there. Gimgen took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up falchion and armor he uses now. He guards a vault combo very seriously as well as the key needed to open it.
