Burton and Wang

The unlikely duo of a hard-headed and crass human and a cool-headed half-elf make up the commanding officers of the Pillar of Heaven, one of a shrinking number of independent airships.  They were hired by Gahl to provide transportation to the party and to help carry any and all supplies they may need.
Burton is a tanned skinned Human with shaggy, dirty blond hair and a prominent jaw and nose.  He is quite muscular, but tends to be clumsy, despite his cockiness.  Blue-collar and sharp-witted, he is prone to speak without thinking and tends to have little tact.  Burton loves his ship more than anything in the world and worries about it constantly.  
Wang is a focused Half-Elf with close-cropped black hair and lean features.  He is the yin to Burton's yang and they are loyal to each other to the end.  For all of his ally's clumsiness and bravado, Wang is stoic and focused, but manages to do so without being uptight or joyless.
