Kord Elkas

Kord Elkas ran a small gang who did not have a big presence in Raufel, but was suspected of being involved with the robberies. Despite the group's small size, the large gangs avoided them and often called on them for jobs due to their efficiency.

Kord and his gang (Big Tom, Flat Edward, and Lemon Shift) are caught robbing a jewelry store by Tenoch Coatl, Daemys Raethran, and Leia Tana who were investigating a series of robberies. Lemon Shift and Flat Edward are captured and reveal that they were hired by men in dark robes and hoods to steal the gems. They are contracted for life via black metal hexagonal coins. They've stolen from Plera Scale, Camden Lark (killing his granny), Jerrot Valmir, Reldwyn Bath, and Daemys Raithra.

Lemon starts to reveal more, but the coin starts to vibrate and she is disintegrated, leaving the coin behind. Flat Edward begs to be killed and is gruesomely dispatched. The group tracks Big Tom down to a shanty town. He is remorseful and wants to help them but he cannot due to the coin. He tells them to meet him at the Purple Scallion the next night. Kord meet Big Tom and tell him where the next gem is and leaves, with the group's fired Bar Bar Minks following him.

The group follows Big Tom, helps him get a gem, and return it to Kord. They find the head of Bar Bar in the room and Big Tom leaves them with the egg. Kord appears two hours later and explains that he wants to be done. If they help him complete the job, he will help them figure out who the Black Cloaks are. They agree and Kord leaves with the gem.

Kord and party find the steal a gem from Pink's Pignus and Pawn. However, along the way he encounters both Bubo and Bab Bar Minks (Bar Bar's borther) who want to capture and kill him, respectively. The situation with the Black Cloaks is explained, and all join forces to go after the penultimate gem. They travel to the lair of the Hooks and kill their leader, Lord Buckle, before taking the gem right as a fireball streaks over Raufel.

The Black Cloaks deliver the location of the last gem to Kord: Governor Urit Syle's mansion. As the tidal wave from the fireball's landing hits the town, Starheart finds the gem and give it to Kord, who delivers it to the Black Cloaks in a temple of Sahlen. They destroy all of the gems and free Kord from his contract. However, his freedoms is short lived as Bubo apprehends him and delivers him to the gnomish lord Elb Gabber in Copperforge. Big Tom follows them, attempting to free Kord.

While Kord will still serve his prison sentence, his past service to Queen Sleekrun led to an admonishment of Elb Gabber and acknowledgment that he would be free some day. Big Tom arrived in Copperforge, but laid low while communication with Kord. When Tenoch, Bubo, and Sylence travel through the Prison on their way to the Dugenon, they free Kord to get his help investigating the rumors of something strange happening below.

Kord is turned to stone by a basilisk during the skirmish in the workshop below Copperforge. Tenoch takes him to the Peak where he is cured by Elder Cabe Erta. They party hires Bask to help free Kord from his copper bracer and tell him to flee the city. Tenoch promises to meet him in Raufel and the will enter into business with each other.
