Character Biographies

Dharin: Captain of the Riders, a trio of bounty hunters. Tall, handsome, and determined. He enjoys practical jokes, and a bit much ale, but he knows when to be serious. His main goal in life is to find his sister who was sold into slavery years ago. She is his weakness – he will do anything to get her back.

Marek: Second of the Riders, he is a curt, rough man who enjoys gambling and ale. He starts fights for the fun of it, and enjoys watching people suffer hardship. He is hardly ever home with his wife and children. However, part of him is conflicted. What’s left of his conscience plagues him and scolds him for the way he lives his life.

Kylian: The other Rider, a quiet and collected man. He speaks only when necessary, says no more than needed, and prefers to be by himself beside a river with a book and coffee. Reveals very little about his past and personal life. The only things people can get out of him are a muttered word about his grandmother, and misty eyes whenever tea is mentioned.

Werrley: A small owl, Gwen’s friend and companion. He’s cheerful and bright, and a bit too fond of scones. Courageous and brave to a fault, always ready to help, he may jump into something without thinking it through all the way.

Greyl: A rather mysterious man. He is old and wise, loves nature, and seems to have a special bond with oak trees. He hates to do something that he feels is stupid and will be too hard on himself sometimes when he thinks he could have done better. He is also short, and doesn’t like the fact to be mentioned.

Gwendolyn (Gwen): A midwife who was pulled into adventure quite unexpectedly. She takes it on herself to help people as much as she can, as often as she can, even if it inconveniences her in some way. She takes it very hard if someone suffers because of something she did or didn’t do, even if she had no real control of the situation. She is a wonderful cook, the “mom friend,” and could really use a hug.

Stilton: The town bard, and volunteer at the Guard Corporation (basically a policeman). He lost his wife and their unborn son a few years ago, shortly before their son was due. He suspects murder, but has no real proof, and he spends his free time poking around trying to find clues. He is cheerful, friendly, and practical.

Vulferym: Cold, sharp, and morally black. He lost his mother when he was young, and has since devoted his life to alchemy, trying to create immortality or a way to revive the dead. He has no qualms about torturing people to get what he wants, and will kill for more riches if he must. He’s the commander of all the groups of bounty hunters in the kingdom (the Riders being under his command), and trades slaves, undercover, as a side hustle.

Dana: A healer of unknown motivations. She is usually willing to help people, but will turn a patient down for seemingly random and unremarkable reasons. She’s friendly enough, but is odd and a bit creepy until you get to know her – and even then, she keeps much to herself. She is wise, and her patience seems never-ending.

Wiggins: A simple farmer, a good ol’ boy. Plain and simple, not much to him. In his words, “Ah’s jist ah fermer, sonny. No need teh gimme anything fancy-like. Ah’s happy jist plantin’ cern an’ milkin’ my cow.” He’s helpful, friendly, and would give you the shirt off his back or all the money in the old tin can under his bed. “Et ain’t a lot, but Ah reckon you need et mor’n Ah do.”

Brodie: The leader of a band of bandits, a highwayman and robber. He follows a moral code of sorts, though. He will never steal from anyone poorer than himself (and he’s pretty poor, considering his profession). He will help you if you helped him first, but doesn’t go around offering assistance to random people. If you get on his good side and he trusts you to not turn him in to the authorities, he might pull some strings here and there with contacts of his and get you a place to stay a night, or free food somewhere.
