History: She was born several months after her mother was called into army service. When she came of age, she joined a caravan that would eventually take her to the capital.

Description: A man with a cold, calculating air about him, he is wearing dark clothing and a heavy breastplate, keeping many of his physical features obscured. He has moderate length green crest. His half smiles and gold eyes are beguiling and draw you in.

Personality: A grumpy guy he will invite people to lunch so he can critique them. Yet he still seems generally likeable, like a lovable grump. He seeks to pay back kindness whenever he gets the chance. Whether it be in the form of unwanted serenades or the latest gossip he always seeks to do solids for his friends.

History: He was raised by priests from a young age. Since his father passed away years ago, his mother had doted on him, and he came to think her himself as special and better than other people in town. A notion that was reinforced by his attractiveness, a trait in which he easily excels the other men of his town. After a long history of fighting, Srorthen and his spouse have recently divorced.

Description: She dresses well, wearing black shirts, loose pants, and blazers most of the time. Her attire stands in sharp contrast to her flail, which is beautifully polished and possesses an ornate carving of a card on it. Her white hair is drawn into a tight pony tail with a card scrunchie. Her otherwise smooth face is marked with small tiny scars.

Personality: She can speak with the dead, and doesn't see much difference between the living and dead. Her respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to her, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, she tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Markosian is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: She was born blind and as such lacked many opportunities for work. Brilliant and gifted she never wanted to apply herself. In her journeys she found a malevolent artifact. She wishes to return this artifact and its corrupting influence back to where it came.

Personality: He is a sleazy, sleazy guy. He has no qualms about using his powers of suggestion to get people to do what he wants. He does suffer from mild PTSD, and the sight of drow may trigger it at times.

History: Raised by wardens he was only a novice when drow swooped upon their monastery and killed most of the order. From his teen years he was always beautiful and desirable, so people have always doted on him. He became a Carter soon after.

Personality: She is almost excessively polite to everyone, even when angry. Around other people she will do her best to conceal her emotions and appear jolly.
