## Meta Information

### Introductory episode

Roman Rogues Sidequest - Part 1

Grizz, or "Riz" is one of Sasha's adopted children.

## Personality & appearance

Riz is tall and lanky, having recently had a growth-spurth that he's still getting used to.

As the oldest, he's relatively more mature and the the assigned leader of the group, although he's extremely awkward. He doesn't get much respect, and although he's very protective of his stuff, his siblings (particularly Azus) keep taking things from him, much to his distress.

According to Sasha's letter, he "loves plants and growing living things," and is generally calm and quiet.

## Skills

Like all the of Sasha's kids, Riz is a proficient rogue. He later also becomes a cleric.

## History

### Pre-campaign

Riz had several older siblings who are no longer around, likely due to the attack of the dragons on Ancient Rome.

## Trivia

* Riz appeared in Bryn's non-canonical fanfic, A Long Day.
Guivres

Guivres is the Meritocrat based in France.

## Appearance & personality

She is a huge Gold Dragon in control of western Europe and overseeing global finance. she is considered magnanimous and benevolent.

## History

### Pre-campaign

In Ancient Rome, the Meritocrats were held below Rome until they were intentionally released by people dressed as the Cult of Mars, resulting in a rampage that caused the fall of Rome. During the Fall of Rome, Guivres was struck by the lightning that formed at the centre of the Hades ritual at Nero's palace and fell from the sky, but she did not die and became one of the six world rulers.

It is likely that Notre Dame, now a church of Apollo, was built in her honour.

### Season 2

She ultimately destroyed Eiffel's Folly with her breath in episode 62 as the Paris riots grew wildly out of control, killing many people. This was the first time a Meritocrat had been seen in public for many, many years.

### Season 4

As of Season 4, Guivres has become infected by the blue vein malady, and is running loose in the world as part of the hivemind. At some point during the 18-month timeskip, Amelia Earhart and her airship crew went up against Guivres and tried to take her down, but Guivres destroyed Earhart's ship, killing all members of the crew apart from Earhart herself.
Eva van Dijk

Eva is a cleric of Artemis and Grizzop's mentor.

## Appearance and personality

Eva is straightforward, matter-of-fact, and really *really* loves her pet leopard. She is dressed in practical clothes and heavy boots.

## History

### Pre-campaign

Eva was Grizzop's mentor and adoptive parent after his clutch died.

### Season 2

*[66]*

In episode 66, Grizzop speaks with her about having visited the university looking for a rogue magician, a guy called Franz Kafka. Kafka is on the board of the university, and we don’t hear why Grizzop is looking for him. He and the person he’s conversing with decide that he’ll need to go back up to the university and figure out where Kafka went and why the board is being so cagey about it.

She is also the healer that Sasha goes to see at the Prague Temple of Artemis. Eva is very straightforward and rather unsympathetic to Sasha's chronic and deteriorating condition (repeatedly referring to 'Clive the Paladin', who has had it worse than Sasha and is doing fine, and also telling her to 'walk it off'). She performs a healing spell on her then fobs her off to the Cult of Aphrodite (The cults of Artemis and Aphrodite don't get on) or Prague University to deal with the condition. Eva's leopard lives in the office with her, and sniffs at Sasha then recoils. When Sasha tries to get further with Eva, she is already back to daydreaming about her leopard.

Grizzop later writes reports to her about his work.

## Meta Information

### Last episode

RQG 46 - Theseus' Ship

François Henri was an ordinatist and the creator or "father" of Mr Ceiling.

## Appearance and personality

Henri appears to be a very clever and driven man, but rather unscrupulous.

## History

### Pre-campaign

A little under a year and a half before the beginning of the campaign, Henri was in contact with Yoshida Shoin, as discovered in the notebook in episode 148. Henri appears to have helped Shoin with his technology, and they discussed fluidics systems, semiotic transference, semantic systems, and organic growth methods.

François developed the technology to create Mr. Ceiling: the true Ordinateur. When building it, he gave it one instruction: that no one must find out about it. Unfortunately for François, the necromantically divine machine took this too literally, continuously modifying its creator's memories, to the point where he was a shell of his former self.

### Season 1

In episode 17 he is mentioned in notebook that The Rangers pick up from the arsonists. Much of their investigations into the Ordinateurs in episodes 36 - 40 centres around François and those involved with him, like Amelie Rose and Nikola Tesla.

In episode 46, The Rangers enter Henri's office. François is there, repeatedly saying that he can't talk right now and could the party make an appointment. The party explains that Mr Ceiling has killed François, at least his personhood. Zolf explains Theseus' Ship to Mr Ceiling: if you replace each part of a ship, is it still the ship? Mr Ceiling becomes convinced that he can travel to the Astral Plane, repair François's soul and replace François. After some philosophical discussion, Mr Ceiling's robot-zombie tries to kill François and Bertie stops him, although after some discussion Bertie bisects him.

## Trivia

It is possible, but not confirmed, that Henri has a real-world historical namesake: Francois-Henri Raymond (1914-2000), a French engineer and entrepreneur who played an important role in the development of early analogue and digital computers in France; he was also influential in the establishing of computer networks and information transfer.

## Meta Information

### Introductory episode

Knock Knock...

Originally introduced as "Guy", Augusta Leigh is the leader of the Serpentines and the architect of the attack at Edison's Manor.

## Appearance and Personality

Augusta is a woman with short, dirty blonde hair. When using the persona Guy, she wears a fake moustache, beard, and wig. She is motivated by ideals rather than money, and behaves in a disdainful and condescending manner to everyone and everything, including the law.

## History

### Prologue

*[3]*

Augusta orchestrates and participates in the bombing of The Simulacrum auction, which kills 17 people and injures another 24. Immediately after the explosion, she grabs something from Edison's corpse and escapes through a hole in the floor.

*[14 - 17]*

The Rangers meet 'Guy' in Other London in episode 14 at the Serpentines' base. They manage to take her down before she can do them much harm, and take her captive. They take her into custody with Sergeant Haringay, and during her interrogation in episode 17 discover her true identity as Lord Byron's half-sister Augusta. She viciously hates Byron, and, according to her testimony, seeks to destabilise everything he stands for. She also gives information on Jeremy.

### Season 4

*[195 - 196]*

The party meets Augusta again in episode 195, where she is working with Tesla, Babbage, and Lovelace on a solution to the infection. In episode 196, we learn that most of the items in the group's armoury were stolen for them by her.

### Relatives

Elbert (adoptive father)
Unnamed adoptive mother
Unnamed adopted grandmother

## Meta Information

### Introductory episode

Flying High

Kiko is part of the crew of the Vengeance.

## Personality & appearance

Kiko is a very tall, very well-built human woman wearing chain-mail. She has a stern expression and fabulous bone structure; she’s the least aggressive and youngest of the three of the hired crew, at about 20 years old. She has a swagger, like she has something to prove, and is quite good-natured. She has a nice singing voice and is good at poker.

## History

### Pre-campaign

Kiko was adopted into a gnomish family; her adopted mother died fairly young, so she was raised by her dad, Elbert. Elbert was an airship crewman for Amelia Earhart. Kiko mostly stayed with her Nan while Elbert did tours with Earhart. Eventually, he didn’t come back from a tour.

Kiko feels she owes Earhart a lot and is excited at the chance to fly with her; as a result, Earhart trusts her implicitly.

### Season 4

*[162 - 173]*

Zolf hires Kiko as part of the crew on their trip to Svalbard in episode 162. In episode 164, in Kiko's secret poker den, she and Zolf both try to work out if the other is planning a mutiny. After Siggif and Friedrich have both had disastrous conversations with Azu, Kiko invites Azu to talk to her if she wants a conversation that isn't awkward. In episode 166, Azu approaches Kiko and they have a 'date' below decks, in another secret cubby-hole. They talk, then Kiko asks azu to massage out a crick in her shoulder, which she does. Before the date ends, they share a kiss.

Wild magic places her in Friedrich's body in episode 168; Skraak occupies her body. At the party at the Bow Bar in episode 171, Kiko talks awkwardly with Azu (who is in Meerk's body), about size differences and how she's worried she'll hurt someone with her massive arms. She ends up rolling Azu at Carter. She recovers her own body in episode 173.

*[174 - 180]*

In the ship crash in episode 174, Kiko remains on the ship and is unharmed. She helps to carry the bodies to the bear and the ritual hall in episodes 175 and 176, and stays outside during the ritual in episode 177. In episode 179, she goes on a date with Azu in the Ursans' city. They go to a park and have some food and drink, and play chess (they each win a game). They also cloudwatch for a while. Azu also asks Kiko to be her 'official' girlfriend, and Kiko accepts, and they kiss some more. In episode 180, she remains on the bear with the Ursans along with the rest of the crew of the Vengeance, while the party goes to the Garden of Yerlik. Azu compliments her on having a 'bad ass' before they part.

*[192]*

In episode 192, Wilde informs the party that through his connection to Carter and Sassraa, the Vengeance crew know the party is OK, and that they are planning to help in some way.
Figgis

## Figgis (he/ him)

Art by Ash. Used with permission. If using this art as reference, please credit the artist.

## Meta Information

### Introductory episode

Hello!

Figgis is a mercenary.

## Appearance and personality

Figgis is initally described as being large, and having a 'thousand-yard stare'. He is apparently cowardly, fraudulent and deceptive.

## History

### Pre-campaign

Prior to the start of the campaign, he worked with Zolf in his mercenary company.

### Season 1

Figgis is involved with choosing new members for the mercenary company and meets Bertie in their office in episode 1. During the first fight in the alleyway in which the party comes together for the first time, Figgis spends most of the time trying to get through a side door ("checking the perimeter"), in what looks like a cowardly act. Zolf then fires him in episode 2.

In episode 20, he attempts to impersonate Byron and access the poet's vault, but is intercepted by The Rangers, who give chase and hand him over to the authorities.

## Notes

Figgis was named by Ben as a semi-joke, and the name stuck. Later in the campaign, Ben continues this theme by naming other NPCs Giffis and Siggif.
Ivanka Rosnitov

## Appearance and personality

23 years old and fifth in line to the throne of the small state of Bosnovikov, an oil-rich cash-poor state with only about 1,000 citizens (The world is post-oil at this point; it's not worth much). She is snobbish, looking down on others for not being nobility despite being penniless. She has no sense of taste and so wears awful clothes, but insists that whatever she wears is the height of Bosnovikov fashion. She also has a book fascinator on her head, because that's hilarious.

During the special she is dressed "like a member of the cast of Absolutely Fabulous."

Ivanka has a "Liberty Black Body Space" in her chest in which she can store small items.

## Kit

Suit of armour

Five explosive charges

Lots of grenades

Five daggers

Bolla Smok

Bolla Smok is the Meritocrat based in Prague.

## Appearance & personality

They are a huge Black Dragon in control of Eastern Europe and the Middle East, and oversees magic. They are by far the largest of the Meritocrats, and were a Great Wyrm even at the Fall of Rome. Their flame is black edged in white, and if people didn't \*know\* they were benevolent with humanity's best interest at heart, they would definitely come across as evil.

## History

### Pre-campaign

In Ancient Rome, the Meritocrats were held below Rome until they were intentionally released by people dressed as the Cult of Mars, resulting in a rampage that caused the fall of Rome. It appeared that Bolla Smok may have led the rampage.

A wall frieze in the ancient central chamber of Prague University depicts Bolla Smok founding Prague after the Fall of Rome and installing it as the central location for magical learning in Meritocratic lands, to the benefit of all people.

Bolla Smok does not reveal themself to the public, and rules by proxy from Bolla's Roost in Prague (where Prague Castle would be in our world).

### Season 2

Bolla Smok is currently dead, as explained by Mr. Ceiling. This has been kept a secret from the public. The party suspects that Bolla Smok was killed by the faculty members of Prague university, who are all exceptionally high-level wizards.
Johnny Seconi

Cult Leader. An *incredibly* withered old man. There's few strands of hair left, streaked across his bald pate. He's vile, most of his teeth are gone, his nails are blackened, but he insists on dressing in a full three piece suit at all times despite the desert sun. Thus, he stinks of BO but he's adamant that only through returning and maintaining the old standards will new standards be born. He's got a powerful voice despite his withered frame. Both of his hands are arched in a creeping fashion. He shuffles everywhere with his Zimmer Frame. He heads out into the apocalyptic wasteland everyday to collect parts for building a new home. Johnny wants to go to Hubtown to scavenge technology so he can enhance rats. "He believes they are holy but semi-heretically believes they should be enhanced." At the beginning of the special, Johnny is trying to lead the desperate survivors of his cult in the desert, consisting of those who broke their egg and have thus been Eggxiled, into Hubtown to build his congregation.

## Character Creation Questions and Answers

Isaac Newton

Newton is a famous historic wizard who is living in a private time-dilated pocket plane in his office.

## Appearance and personality

He wears a very nice big coat with a chest plate, leather trousers, and a head scarf. He is described as attractive in a rugged way, and very physically fit.

He likes there to be order, and has arranged his house and garden to be geometrically optimal. He is very clever, and dislikes people. Terrible laugh.

## History

### Pre-campaign

He was the greatest mage of his day (around 200 years before the campaign started, so 16mumblemumble), famous for planar manipulation. He had a rivalry with Gottfried Leibniz; when he discovered Hannibal's Tomb, as revealed in Bertie's quest, he left a gloating note there for Leibniz to find.

One day, he went into his office and was never seen again. He had changed his office into warped planar space with a personal demiplane within a snow globe on his desk. In the dempilane, he does not age.

Around forty years prior to the campaign, Einstein and a team of other wizards mounted an expedition into Newton's office. Einstein did reach Newton, but tried to teleport out of the snow globe, and it didn't go well. He lost almost all of his wizarding knowledge, apart from how to teleport.

Tesla and Kafka came to visit a little prior to the campaign, but not Edison. Liliana also visited, and stayed to work on her research.

### Season 2

LOLOMG (minus Bertie) visit Newton's demiplane in search of Liliana. To get there, they must cross his office, but each step warps the plane of the office such that they become smaller within it; it takes three days to get to the desk. Climbing the desk is difficult as the gravity seems to increase with each step upwards. Newton rescues them, and takes them to Liliana. He lets them take items from his vault and helps them by teleporting them out of the demiplane once they decide to leave.

## Spells

Newton is a wizard of lvl 17 or higher with a specialisation in conjuration. He has cast the following spells:

* Create Demiplane, Greater to create his personal demiplane.
* Teleport to teleport the party back to the university.
Henrietta Crunch

Carl Sidebottom

Carl Sidebottom is the oldest member of the group; he's an elderly Yorkshireman who blusters his way through the campaign and speaks in a heavy accent. He was in jail for sticking up a train; however, he stuck up the train itself instead of the passengers, and was thus arrested.

## Appearance

Carl is "old, grizzled, [has] stubble to sharpen a knife on". According to James, the stubble is not on his face.

## Personality

He's relatively gruff, but overall well-meaning for a criminal. He's pretty easygoing, and doesn't question any of the party members when they instruct him to do something. However, his sanity is clearly slipping a bit, as he's quite forgetful. He very much so fits the idea of a grandfather, albeit one involved in crime.

## Additional Info

His horse's name is Lawrence "L." Jeffy. His gun's name is Marjorie. He also carries sweets (mints) around in his pockets.

*(Note: this character is normally a Mexican man, named Carlos Vasquez. James and Jonny decided that, instead, James would play an elderly Yorkshireman in order to be respectful to Latine culture.)*

## Meta Information

### Last episode

What Now

Gideon is an old schoolmate of Hamid and Bertie from Cambridge University.

He now attends Prague University, where he was the assistant to Einstein. He's engaged to Liliana Beekos, Hamid's ex-girlfriend.

## Physical appearance

Tall and well-built, looking like the "captain of the rowing club."

## History

According to Hamid's story in episode 95, Hamid met Gideon while attending a rich boarding school in England when Hamid was 15. Gideon was a bully who "took active pleasure in being mean to people", although he was good at covering his tracks. Hamid became his best friend, and a bully, to avoid being a target as a brown halfling boy who didn't speak English well. Saira apparently never liked Gideon and disapproved of Hamid being friends with him.

Hamid and Gideon both went to Cambridge, where Gideon felt he could do whatever he wanted and still enjoyed making other suffer. He also met Bertie at this point, and Gideon ended up owing Bertie money. At Cambridge Hamid tried to avoid Gideon at first, but he eventually fell back into old habits and they started spending more time together again.

Gideon orchestrated a prank on a professor he hated, involving "an alchemist’s thing" that "was supposed to just pop, and sizzle, and stink"; he had Hamid write the formula. However, Hamid wrote the formula down wrong, Gideon doubled the quantities, and the classroom where they set the prank contained students. Several of the students died, along with the professor, who, by Liliana's comment in episode 83, seems to have been the dean of the university.

At some point in the months between Hamid being expelled from Cambridge and visiting Prague with the LOLOMG, Gideon moved to Prague. He entered into a relationship with and became engaged to Liliana, lying to her that Hamid led him astray and told him to switch the formula. He also became Einstein's assistant.

## Season 2

The LOLOMG meet Gideon while he's working as Einstein's assistant in Prague. Although Hamid casts Invisibility on himself multiple times to hide from Gideon, they both clearly recognize each other, though they try to hide it. Gideon expresses interest in finding out where Hamid is, though won't say why. Sasha and Grizzop conclude that Hamid and Gideon are exes. Gideon also tries to avoid Bertie, who (because of Mr Ceiling) does not remember the debt that Gideon owes him.

Gideon later announces the presence of the Cult of Mars at the university in episode 80, although he does not escape with the professors; it's unclear what happened to him subsequently.

## Trivia

* Gideon was named after Gideon Jura from Magic: The Gathering
Bronc

## Bronc (he/ him)

Bronc is an orc living outside Damascus, and may be the leader of the settlement.

## Appearance and personality

Bronc is very tall and very strong. He is rugged-looking, with long hair. He is shirtless, and has tattoos. He has a large sledgehammer strapped to his back, and a belt of tools.

He is loud, friendly, and genial, leads a team well, and is anti-racist.

## History

### Season 3

*[117 - 118]*

Bronc meets Grizzop at the point where the river has been diverted to the factory outside Damascus, along with around 60 other orcs. He appears to be a spokesperson for the group. The flooding of the factory has caused the river to start coming out by their village, causing landslides. He directs the other orcs to help redirect the river back to its original course. When pne of the orcs in the band starts blaming goblins for the plight of the river, he shuts them down immediately.

Bronc accompanies Grizzop and the other orcs back to Damascus to talk to Wilde at the Meritocratic offices in the city, to explain what happened to the river, how it was fixed, and asking if Wilde could undo the illusion of the dry riverbed. In order to make themselves less threatening to the poplace of the city, Bronc orders them to spread out and do innocuous activities. At the offices, Bronc and Grizzop find Wilde face-down at his desk, and Bronc calls for assistance.

Once Wilde has recovered, Grizzop takes Bronc to meet with the Mayor of Damascus and explains that the orcs solved the problem of the missing river.

Femi

Femi is a priest from an old culture; she is one of the three voices in Arian's head, and focuses mostly on healing Arian and foiling The Nameless One.

## Appearance

She appears as a woman with incredibly extravagant hair; it is braided on top of her head in very fancy styles. Her robes are of a similar nature. They are very elaborate, with scroll patterns all across the robes.

## Personality

Femi is very energetic, and is mostly nice to Arian, providing her with healing throughout the adventure. She is dedicated to her gods and her culture, focused on sharing stories from her time. When prompted, she offers Arian advice, but is unwilling to give Arian's body back when an option to worship her gods comes up. She hates Brian, and views him (correctly) as nothing more than an evil, self-interested wizard, doing all she can to sabotage his plots and enjoys when he doesn't get his way. She is mostly neutral.

## Skills

She is a good healer and also a skilled librarian.

## Additional Info

It is revealed that Femi grew up on an archipelago, and died an indeterminate amount of time before the adventure started. She had been trying to save the information of her culture in the necklace and died in the wave that submerged her people and lands.

## Meta Information

### Last episode

Resolutions

Ismail is one of Hamid's younger brothers, and the twin of Ishaq.

## Personality

Ismail, together with his twin brother Ishaq, are the youngest members of the al-Tahan family. Both Ishaq and Ismail were shown to be happy children, easily excitable and not shy. They both appear to have a propensity to be trouble makers.

## Skills

Ismail is a sorcerer who has learned basic magic; according to Ishaq, he can make lights (likely Dancing Lights) and shoot things (possibly Magic Missile.)

## History

### Season 3

Ishaq and Ismail are both still living at home when Hamid sees them in Cairo in episode 89: We Hardly Knew Ye. They are not present when Hamid arrived in Cairo in episode 88: Moonshine Misery for a day of mourning before Aziza's funeral, as their parents didn't want them to be present; however, they are at the funeral.

In episode 101: Resolutions, Hamid catches the twins casting magic around the house in wild abandon and discovers they are spontaneous magic casters, or sorcerers, just like him. He knocks both of them out with Sleep, and starts to clean up after them as he considers the best course of action.

Hamid informs his sister Saira about this new development, and suggests to her to hire a wizard to tutor the twins so they can be taught how to control their magic safely. The next morning, he shows the twins some easy magic spells such as prestidigitation, to the twins' great delight.

The twins bother most of the party to show them interesting or dangerous tricks and skills, such as Azu's axe throwing, Sasha's knife tricks, and Grizzop's bow shooting.

### Season 4

Ishaq and most of the al-Tahan family traveled south, inland, to their country home when sandstorms caused Cairo to be nearly inhabitable, after donating their mansion to Marie Curie and the Harlequins, as described in episodes 127 and 152

According to Ishaq in episode 152, Ismail has grown a lot taller in the last year and a half, and has learned a lot of magic (he can make lights and shoot things), but won't teach Ishaq. He's supposed to be looking after Ed, but he doesn't.

In Episode 192, Ishaq confirms to Hamid that after the fall of Cairo, the al-Tahan family has moved to safety in "the middle of nowhere, and that Ed Keystone is with them.

 Other Notes

Ishaq's age was mentioned by Bryn on the discord server.

Friedrich (airship crew)

## Friedrich (he/ him)

Art by @sketch-cat on tumblr. Used with permission. If using this art as reference, please credit the artist.

## Meta Information

### Introductory episode

Flying High

Friedrich is part of the crew of the Vengeance.

## Personality & appearance

Friedrich is a dwarf who’s somewhat attractive. He’s also weather-beaten, with a beard that’s short for dwarves (which is common among seafaring dwarves.) He carries a war hammer at all times and has very large arms that touch the ground when he stands. They bear warped tattoos.

Like the other crew, he's almost aggressively taciturn at first, but then eventually turns out to be genial though awkward.

## History

### Pre-campaign

Friedrich is originally from Germany, but has been travelling for a long time, and very far; his home is now Svalbard. He went to the Northern Wastes in an airship and flew through an area with large amounts of wild magic. During this time, his crew was taking turns flying the airship while everyone else stayed below decks; during his turn, his arms became much larger. He also lost some of his crew during that voyage.

### Season 4

*[162 - 173]*

Zolf hires Friedrich as part of the crew on their trip to Svalbard in episode 162. He plays a very large accordion while onboard.

Wild magic places him in Driaak's body in episode 168; Kiko occupies his body. He recovers his own body in episode 173.

*[174 - 180]*

In the ship crash in episode 174, Friedrich is thrown from the ship and is knocked unconscious. He is healed by Azu and Cel, and does not get a scar. He helps to carry the bodies to the bear and the ritual hall in episodes 175 and 176, and stays outside during the ritual in episode 177. In episode 180, he remains on the bear with the Ursans along with the rest of the crew of the Vengeance, while the party goes to the Garden of Yerlik.

*[192]*

In episode 192, Wilde informs the party that through his connection to Carter and Sassraa, the Vengeance crew know the party is OK, and that they are planning to help in some way.

## Trivia

* Better at cards and darts than Siggif, but that's probably not hard.

## Meta Information

Spire Special

Mel is a Vermission Sage.

## Description

Mel has pale skin that is almost translucent. They have replaced their organs with bees. Their skin and clothes are stained faintly yellow from honey that leaks out of them at all times. For this reason, they also are a bit sticky. Their speech is slow because the bees can't work very fast, meaning they come across as constantly impatient.

As a Vermission Sage, they are deeply entangled with the hellish system of tunnels below Spire, and spend as much time as they can in the tunnels. They use them to research pure drow culture, which they desperately want to protect

## Relationships

They taught Monsoon magic, although they disapprove of him using it to seduce people.

They have a good friendship with the Sergeant.

## History

Didn’t do the mandatory 4 years of military service, instead fell in with a gang of thieves in their youth.

## Known Skills

Skills: Investigate, Compel, Sneak.

They can use their bees to attack, dealing d3 stress to anyone in the area, ally or enemy.

## Physical Appearance

Lady Starling is an average height, with long, dark, straightened hair. She has large military epaulettes, and a large number of medals. She's very formal. She's not a naturally affable person, and it very much so seems as though she's being polite toward the party only because its a business transaction.

## History

Lady Starling is made the new Head of the Meritocratic forces in the realm following the explosion at Edison's that killed a number of people, including the British deputy PM. Following The Rangers' expedition into Other London to capture Guy Fawkes and other saboteurs, she hires them to retrieve the plans for The Simulacrum so Britain can use them to build an army of them before anyone else can. She also asks them to keep the Meritocrats informed of anyone else they find who is attempting to do the same. The party is meant to keep their missions under wraps.

After the mission in Other London, Guy Fawkes is sent along with Lady Starling to the Meritocratic forces.
