List of NPCs

NPCs are pretty cool. Most don't deserve their own page though. Pending more info, but probably not.

## **The High Seas**

* **The Konst Family:** A pair of brothers running a whaling vesel.
	+ **Bildad Konst:** Although his crew openly recognizes his insanity, they would follow him to the gates of Hell; and that might just be where he's taking them. Bildad has a strange magnetism that always brings desperate and hungry souls before him. He is dedicated to hunting a dragon that took his arm and leg.
	+ **Jeremiah Konst:** Bildad's older brother, although you wouldn't know it, looking at them. Jeremiah is a thoughtful and well-read man. What he's doing at sea is anyone's guess.
* **Parsival:** An exorcist who took up the whaling lifestyle after he became convinced that whales are the source of all demons and evil spirits. That's why whale oil burns, don't you know?
* **Silas of the Axe:** A Bellatoan whose fervor was so great and his methods so distasteful, that he was exiled from Bellatoa itself. Now he stalks the seas, trying to win the empire a victory so great, they will be forced to let him return home.

## **The Mandate**

* **The Torch Family:** The torch family are a strange bunch of misfits living in Kwualun Village. Bella and Vera are some of the only foreigners living in Kwualun village and are treated as potential traitors by the soldiers and as a potential source of troubles by the villagers.
	+ **"Admiral" Xia:** Before his daughter was kidnapped by pirates the "Admiral" was the warden of Kwualun Prison where he derived a special pleasure from tormenting pirates. His family lived in Kwualun Village and, as both outsiders and instruments of the state, were treated with great suspicion. His daughter is Bella of Nothing and his wife is Vera of the Torch.
	+ **Vera of the Torch:** The keeper of the Four Ducks Inn and an ex-Bellatoan. Vera despises soldiers of all kinds, which makes it especially unortunate that she lives in Kwualun. Vera hoards secrets the way a dragon hoards gold.

## **Sante Savane**

* **The Cannellini Family**
	+ **~~Duke Cannellini:~~** The former duke of the Isle of Beans. He was shot in the head while trying to bring Eve of the Damned to justice.

	+ **~~Lucretia Storms:~~** The eldest daughter of the Cannellini family and a bastard, although she'd never let you know it. She was murdered at a high society event for unknown reasons.
	+ **Stella Cannellini:** The young inheritor to the Isle of Beans. Her rule is not openly challenged, but everyone openly recognizes that she is too young to rule wisely, and will likely never fill her father's shoes.

## **The Sunrise Fleet**

* **Lea:** A "friend" of Caspian's and a compulsive liar. She works the kitchens of Port 233 and spends most of her time drinking.
* **~~The Mingus of the East:~~** An ambitious admiral with designs on the New World. He wants to draw New World powers into closer relations with the Sunrise Fleet, essentially offering to sell Old World firepower to the highest bidder.
* **The Mingus of the North:** Although he does a good job of hiding it, the North Mingus is the least impressive of the Minguses. The North Mingus is responsible primarily for securing cold water ports and ensuring the health of the Sunrise Fleet's few northerly ports and coves. Truth be told, he's a glorified contingency planner, nobody needs him until they really need him.

* **The Iguanna Coven:** The most remote and least respected of the Thaudic Covens. They have a reputation for being selfish and lazy and most of their members are pirates.

	+ **Cuicatl:** Formerly the second highest ranking member of the Iguanna coven, and Auntie Callie's personal servant, she now runs the coven in Callie's absense.
	+ **Yollotzin:** Caspian's mother and the founder of the Iguanna Coven. She founded the Iguanna Coven with her best friend, Callie, to fight for the independence of the Middle Islands and freedom for the Tarowak. Since her death the principles of the coven have uh. Drifted somewhat.

* **Margret:** The final remaining descendent of Sneaky Jack, one of the famous pirate lords. She chose to live her life as a family woman instead of taking after her father.
* **Tankrid:** A retired pirate whose wealth is only marred by how much of it has ended up in Iggy's pockets

* **The Big Man Upstairs:** No, not God. This man is the leader of the Night Ravens. He lives in a room above the bird’s nests at the Perch. No one but Ladybird and a few select advisors are allowed up there. His demands on the organization are few other than to make money, but what he says goes.

	+ **Big Sister:** The Brothel Mistress

* **The DeBugeons:** These fucking guys, don’t even get me started.

* **The DeVugeons:** An astonishingly large and astonishingly close knit Garbello family living on the outskirts of the slums.

	+ **Jean DeVugeon:** The head constable of La Ville.

	+ **Xavier Derand** - Valentin's friend somehow got elected. Who would've thought.
* **Gertrude Stjepanbalm:** This strange woman once did a favor for Aurelie and is now demanding 10,000 gold crowns in payment. It’s not clear whether she understands this to be a ridiculous request.

* **Ladybird:** Although not technically a person of significance among the Night Ravens, wields considerable influence as the adopted daughter of the Big Man Upstairs.
* **~~The Lafebvres:~~** Bernadette lets any Visborkan that lives on her ranch call themselves a Lafebvre. This is mainly to piss off her noble parents, but hey, it’s a nice symbol, too.
	+ **~~Bernadette Lafebvre:~~** A half-Visborkan bastard, despite not exactly living in poverty Bernadette learned from an early age that she would have few allies in life. These days she runs a ranch outside of La Ville where any Visborkan can live for free, provided they’re willing to work. Cursed by a failed transmission, and transmitted to Our Lady's Forest.

* **~~Pierre:~~** The member of the royal guard who was tasked with keeping watch over Aurelie. After realizing how much of a threat to the old order Camille was, he attempted to murder him, successfully gouging out his eye and crippling him. He was eventually killed in retaliation by Aurelie.
* **Villhelmina:** Louise’s handler with the Stewards of the Crown and a powerful merchant in her own right. She escaped to Thaudh to escape the Revolution, just as the war with Bellatoa was beginning.

## **The Eastern Fleet**

* **Admiral William De la Venteblance:** A Gallician admiral who worked his way up the ranks of the navy and became an admiral after proving his bravery and tactical genius during the Gallican Revolutionary wars. He has a remarkable skill for agreeing with everyone, a skill that kept his head attached to his body during the Terror. His greatest shame is that he sired a child who became a pirate.

## **Xochi's Fleet**

* **~~Ajax:~~** An old drinking buddy of Sven's. He was killed for either plotting a mutiny, or for planning to leave the crew, depending on who you ask and how the crew happens to be feeling at the time.
* **Bella of Nothing:** Formerly a quarelsome resident of Kwualun Village. She rebelled against her father, the warden of Kwualun Prison, and her mother, the keeper of the Four Ducks Inn, by getting into frequent fights and making her desire to become a pirate incredibly clear. No one in Kwualun took her threats seriously until one day she actually managed to coerce the crew of the Capricious into abducting her.
* **Dandelion:** A brutal old woman convicted of crimes she most definitely did commit. She was broken out of Kwualun Prison by Xochipilli and is currently a crew member of the Capricious. Since then she's become a crackshot with a musket and has earned a reputation as a capable tactician and strategist.
* **Darryl The Barrel:** An incredibly strong man who definitely has other traits. He killed Sven with his bare hands.
* **Fernando:** A failed actor who became a pirate after Galician society failed to understand his genius.
* **George:** A sad Carollian whaler who joined the crew after Iggy and Caspian ruined his life.
* **~~Li Jing:~~** Xochi's girlfriend and the first mate of the Capricious. Li Jing is also responsible for maintaining and manning the guns of the capricious, a job which she enjoys a bit too much.
* **~~Sven~~:** An unusually short man from Nagovia. Sven served under a chief that refused to join the invasion of Galicia and was consequently exiled along with all of his compatriots. Sven relocated to Puerto Lejo and eventually signed up as a crew member aboard the Capricious.
* **Tlana:** The pilot of the Capricious and very skittish for a pirate. She is cautious at all times, and is simply incapable of working quickly.
