Personality: He cares much about the opinion of others, both in good and in bad: when keeping in line with his opinion, he thinks highly of the other person, but when opinions clash, he can get violently argumentative. Flattery will make him almost putty in your hands.

History: He was always a brilliant, if unscrupulous mind. He took every job he could get his hands on, but the opportunities for Half-Orcs in the north were limited. He is untrained/undisciplined, which makes him dangerous.

Description: She tends to wear a heavy leather apron. Coupled with her rolled up shirt sleeves this gives her a very relaxed look. She is portly but not overly obese. She wears a Stetson hat to hide her balding. She has a tattooed face.

Personality: She is filled with cunning. She likes to feign weakness letting people think she is weak. She can see the true alignment of people by looking at them, and uses this to pass judgement.

History: Her druidic talent manifested at a young age. Aiming to upstage a rival house, her parents had her trained. Shifting was a troubled youth. She spent her days as a hard laborer instead of attending school, and spent her evenings with numerous mobsters and gang members. Shifting decided she wanted neither the life of her father nor that of the evil petty criminals she associated with. During her early adolescence, she took a sudden opportunity while working the docks and commandeered a vessel that was left unmanned. She knows her nephew is from a royal line that had remained secret for centuries, but promised not to tell anyone. So far, no-one knows but her.

Personality: He speaks before he thinks and is too direct. Energy wise he seems alert and responsive.

History: He was born blind and as such lacked many opportunities for work. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the forest 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 forest due to the painful memories there. Zook took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up shortbow and armor he uses now. He now has a substantial network of resources ranging from contacts to ships to peers.

History: Sold as a small child to a brothel owner, Peter was an assistant, and all too frequently test subject. He eventually earned his freedom when his former master disappeared. In his youth he was a Shipwright, and wanted to be a champion fighter when he grew up. He was working during a period of war, and as one of the natives he lived in fear of joining the others in being slaughtered. He saw the brutality and swore off his fighting aspirations, taking his younger sister on his back after seeing his parents die, and fled the country.
