Description: A middle-aged woman, she is wearing a tight white one piece outfit complete with pants, hood, and a cape, and is pretty ugly. Her red hair is cut short. She is missing an eye and her face is severely sunburned. Her one remaining eye shines gray.

Personality: Jacoba hangs on like a leech to those who appreciate her. It was this clingy personality that held back her poetry career. She never wears the same outfit twice, unless she absolutely has to.

History: She got into the Detective business at a young age. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a ruined castle. She would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the mountains due to the painful memories there. Jacoba took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up sickle and armor she uses now. She bought a sickle and has really upped her game hunting, due to her understanding of decoy and ambush.

Motivation: Nothing but the best is good enough for her; and balancing her hectic life and new detective responsibilities is difficult

Description: With red face paint in a stripe pattern across his face, he dresses in white turtlenecks beneath a grey coat with red slacks. His moppish red hair is in a traditional bowl cut. His brown eyes are slightly larger than normal.

Personality: He is a hateful person. He taunts others and blames them for his problems. 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, Nicholas is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: He was born in the north, but his parents moved at a very young age to the west. Since his mother passed away years ago, his father 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, Nicholas and his spouse have recently divorced.

Motivation: Someone believes him a fraud; and his name or reputation has been wronged in the past by illithids, and he desires to right it

Description: He likes to wear red tank tops with white pants. He cuts an attractive figure and his suit of old armor is well cared for even if it is obsolete. His blonde hair, when down, is lengthy. His voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

Personality: He considers himself the protector of his home. He feels this is his duty and calling. He does not believe in violence as a means to an end. He is a dedicated Bellfounder but believes his peers are too gung-ho.

History: Everard was born with his father's beautiful face. While he appears to be a normal Human, he's... not quite right. Perhaps he's slightly insane, or otherwise so mentally alien to the rest of the world that he plain doesn't fit in.

Personality: She is quite rude, and likes to deride her opponents skill and shout insults at them. She would rather hide behind her crafts than deal with other people.
