Sylmore Burnett=
Sylmore Burnett was a councilman in Wolis and founder of the Fourth Act theatre troupe. He was previously a member and later leader of the Wolis Thieves Guild. He was also the author of the serial play Star Walk and many of its novelizations. 
=== Appearance ===
Half-elf, dark hair.
=== Personality ===
Bard. Forgets that. Loves his family. Doesn't know how to family. 
=== Description ===
Sylmore Burnett was born in Amberhall. He grew up being good friends with Azaria Edelpherea, one of the elves who lived in the woods nearby. That friendship eventually turned to romance, but before the pair could elope, her betrothed, Alasor Burnett convinced him that he could not give her the life she deserved. He fled, but ended up on the streets, barely able to keep himself alive. He was eventually picked up by slavers and passed among the nobles in Wolis until the final of the lords grew bored of him and dumped him in an alley to die. Azaria, living in Wolis, found him and nursed him back to health. 
He eventually left to start the Fourth Act, a theatre troupe that would also act as a cover and means for robbing from the rich. He also had dealings with the Thieves Guild in Wolis, where he would meet and eventually befriend Merric, who would join the troupe. At some point, the two of them found a Blockbuster buried deep beneath the earth where they would spend far too long watching movies. Merric would walk away with a bag of nickles; Sylmore would walk away with ideas. For a fair number of years, the troupe traveled, becoming incredibly successful both as a troupe and as thieves. Sylmore would begin writing the serial Star Walk, a combination of many of the plots and characters he had seen with Merric. 
One of his primary financial targets with the group was the Scepter of Azbaz, a jewel-encrusted scepter that was worth enough to let him retire in comfort. In hunting for this, he frequently encounter an entity known as Caius. Eventually, Merric would accidentally bring a tiefling infant into their troupe after one of these such run-ins. As she grew, she showed promise, and he began to think perhaps he would retire in a normal fashion and turn the troupe over to her. The two had a falling out, however, resulting in her fleeing the troupe. 
In the years that followed, he would once again find a lead to the scepter and enact a plan to steal it. During their escape with the scepter, they ended up in the sewers of Auguste, where Renard Blackwood lurked, having set a trap for the troupe. All but one of those who had gone were killed, including Sylmore, Merric, and Grah, a beefy half-orc chieftain whose daughter had been best friends with Belxari. He and Grah were turned into vampires, and the rest of the troupe was captured. Eventually, Belxari and Sah found and captured the two, freeing the troupe and killing the vampire who had turned them. They restored the two back to life and departed once again, still not on good terms and the scepter in Belxari's hands. 
Sylmore would go on to abandon the troupe, reaching a point of crisis. He returned to the Burnett estate to process, knowing that Alasor was away. He and Azaria had been having an affair over the years, an open secret amongst the family. It was during this stay that Belxari would once again make an appearance, wanting to work with Sylmore on a robbery of one of Azaria's neighbors, the Brading estate. While working on the plans, Alasor unexpectedly returned home. Using a law to their benefit, the two dueled each other for the rights to Azaria's hand. Alasor intentionally lost the duel, granting him freedom from the politics he hated and allowing Sylmore to marry Azaria at long last. The heist would go on mostly as planned, though a nuckelavee attacked during the party, summoned there by Caius. The Burnetts were not connected to the creature beyond their narrow escape. A few years later, he and Azaria would have a daughter, a tiefling they named Izora. 
Sylmore would use his newfound authority and power for the greater good. When the Thieves Guild returned to Wolis, he was able to control them, as well as using the power of red tape to force the Lord Brading out of his home and power. When Izora was targeted by the Null Solution, he would prove to still be a capable fighter, going with the group that defeated them and removed their presence from Wolis. He maintained a positive public appearance to all who mattered, and used his powers to support those less fortune through any means he had available to him.

Azaria Burnett=
Azaria Burnett is a noble in Wolis. She was the daughter of a high-ranking official in Falenas and was subsequently married to a noble from Wolis as part of an agreement between her people and the city of Wolis. She eventually married her childhood sweetheart, Sylmore.
=== Appearance ===
IDK I think she has like, golden hair the way elves tend to. Flowing clothes. An angel. 
=== Personality ===
Azaria was a very agreeable and pleasant person, unless she learned someone had wronged another. She cared for people, having strong maternal instincts, and acting within her station to right the wrongs she could. She offered advice and instruction whenever it was asked of her, and was always willing to give a hug.
=== Description ===
She grew up in the forests around Amberhall as one of the territorial elves who lived there. She became friends with the half-elf Sylmore in Amberhall, and the two fell in love. She was betrothed to Alasor Burnett, a young nobleman from Wolis, by her family as part of a treaty between Wolis and her people. She agreed to elope with Sylmore, but before doing so was talked out of it, deciding to do what she had to for the good of her people. Years later, living in Wolis with Alasor, she found Sylmore, beaten, unconscious, and barely sane, in an alley. She took him home and nursed him back to health. 
Over the years, the two would have an affair. Alasor knew, or suspected strongly, about the affair, but did nothing to stop it beyond being a little grumpy about it. Eventually, Alasor and Sylmore would take advantage of a law in Wolis that allowed the winner of a duel to take the lands, title, wealth, and all else belonging to the Burnett estate—including the right to marry Azaria. Alasor intentionally threw the duel, allowing the childhood sweethearts to finally marry. She remained on good terms with him, having come to care for him if not love him outright. She and Sylmore eventually had a daughter together, whom they named Izora.

Izora Burnett=
Izora Burnett was a young noblewoman in Wolis, daughter of Sylmore and Azaria Burnett. She was a skilled wizard, viewed by some as a prodigy. She graduated from Dukazel College in Mudwall. 
=== Appearance ===
Izora has red skin from her tiefling heritage, and her eyes are a pale gray. She also has tall horns, branching out sideways from her forehead, around and over the top of her head. They almost meet again in front of her head, then point straight up nearly a foot, ending in sharp points. Her black hair is incredibly curly and unruly. She is slim and primarily wears rather formal attire, generally consisting of slacks, a button-up blouse, and a vest. She often frequently wears a suit jacket with it. 
=== Personality ===
Izora comes across as shy or perhaps rude to those who do not know her. Having been born a tiefling in a city where tieflings were unfortunately demonized, she had grown to be more reserved.
