Artecis, Pythagor and Ayliph: Three minotaur brothers seeking their fortune in human lands. Artecis is the oldest and often hatches ill-conceived get-rich-quick schemes. Pythagor is a walking waste disposal with a tremendous appetite and a penchant for bad poetry. Ayliph is the quiet one and has a soft-spot for pretty human women. Despite their physical power, all three are reputed bumblers, and are typically asked to guard the rear... Bedlam Blood-drinker: Half-Ogre sergeant and friend to Ruckus. Blocker - allows opponents to strike first and then barrels through them... M'ntor: Centaur sergeant. Earning money for his povertystricken village. Been a soldier for a few years now. Quiet, introverted. Left something behind at home that he cares for dearly, though claims he has no family... J'Gorl Mytare: Sergeant. Loves wine, has little tactical acumen. Egotistical. Believes unit cannot fail: always volunteers them for worse missions... Gylib Rockheart: Dwarven sergeant. Tries to find the,~ good in every situation. Never leaves a comrade behind.' Loves a good joke and plays off of Laran's and Bedlam's serious natures... Andrak: Sergeant. Wanted for murder in his homeland... Iago Mercentem: Sergeant, black marketeer. Often finds valuables in the "junk" that Thallin returns with... Horseface: Horribly deformed wagoneer. Questing for the man who mutilated his face. Has been known to spend time with Callan. Wears horse blinders in public, and is darkly drawn to sharp edges... Liga of the Surehand: Scout specialist. No nonsense person that you want in your corner. Reputation as a cold fish. Wanted thief in five kingdoms... Laran: Dour recruit haunted by nightmares. Calls out to Trogan in the night. Claims no memory of the incidents, but Callan has been able to discover that his entire village was mysterious slaughtered so many years ago... Tyrik Nhur: Fierce warrior with the spear. Ex- circuit sportsman in local competitions. Tyrik teaches others the finest points of spear handling. Ellis Grendlwood: Company quartermaster. Collected taxes for Darlan until father was put in debtor's prison. Maintains complete records of all equipment and monies. Uuslo: Illusia's assistant.
