**Formerly**
Black Ops Specialist

**Nate Romanowski** is a recurring character in the T.V. series, *Joe Pickett*. He was one part mystic, one part hardened criminal. He was a survivalist who lived off the grid deep in the woods around Saddlestring, Wyoming.

## Biography

Nate is a passionate falconer, with a deep connection to his birds. There were rumors he was once special forces, or that he was on the run from the law, that he murdered some men before showing up here one day, but nobody was certain of any of it. The one thing everyone can be certain about is that Nate is not a man to be trifled with. He was always very armed and even more dangerous.

Some initially considered Nate the prime suspect in Ote Keeley’s murder, but Joe was an exception. Nate believed that Joe was the only person he could trust in the corrupt Wyoming town. In time, Joe would come to feel the same way toward Nate. Marybeth, Joe's wife, also trusted in Nate and helped his defense case.

Like Joe, Nate had an internal, immovable sense of right and wrong – though their internal moralities didn't otherwise entirely align. Nate and Joe became unlikely friends and frequent collaborators. In some ways, Nate was like Joe’s id: wild and dangerous, embracing everything with which Joe was uncomfortable. And Nate envied Joe’s life of family and connection. They formed a deep mutual respect for each other, as kindred spirits and opposites at the same time. Joe trusted Nate more than anyone else he knew in Twelve Sleep.

Nate develops a personal connection with Cricket Ludlow, who works for the local sheriffs department. He protects her from Marshal Kelmeckis, who tried to strangle her at her home. Nate breaks his neck. He checks Cricket while telling her those guys killed his wife. Nate gave her something, told her to go to the motel, and come back to report what she saw. Cricket kissed him.

It is revealed in Season 2 that he was part of a merc outfit called Mark V and worked for a mysterious contractor named John Nemecek.

Faeranox

Faera in one of her favored forms, that of an elven woman with piercing emerald eyes

## Life

Faeranox, known as Faera or simply "the dragon" to the party, is a young green dragon wyrmling who is currently bound to the Party by way of the Emerald Eye, which holds her soul captive. Faera's origins are still mostly a mystery to the Party, but it is known that she was born on the Isle of Oburoos, the former home of the green flight. During the events of the Fall of Oburoos, she was away from the island for unknown reasons, and therefore became one of a handful of green dragons to survive the Calamity. In the chaos which would follow the Calamity, Faera would fall into the clutches of the Ebon Flock, who would imprison her somewhere in the Black Dragonlands, torturing her in unspeakable ways in pursuit of their obsession with the purity of the draconic form. At some point in early 1333, she would escape the clutches of the Flock with the aid of a mysterious elven woman, though for reasons unknown this elusive benefactor would not free her soul from the Emerald Eye. She would then be smuggled onto the Arghast, and transported northwards by the huckster Fevard Lommelley.

Following a freak squall which pushed the ship right into the harbor of Lorthol, Lommelley would lose control of the eye, allowing Faera to escape his clutches, fleeing to a nearby seaside cavern emanating powerful magical energy. There, weakened by separation from her soul, she would be possessed by a malevolent entity through the Wound located at the bottom of the cavern, although she would later be saved from this possession by the Party, who tracked her down in the cavern and reunited her with the Eye, allowing her to channel enough power through the wound to close it permanently. This massive effort would drain her soul of its energy, and she would fall into a comatose state, assuming the form of a young girl to curry the sympathy of the party. After a brief debate amongst the Party over whether or not to kill her and harvest her organs, they decided to let Faera live, storing her at Whisper's shack for her safety while they sought a way to reignite her soul stored in the Emerald Eye.

Eventually, they would succeed in this effort with the aid of the necromancer Tomularch, who would perform a soul-swap ritual, sacrificing two dozen mortal souls to bring the spark back to hers. The rejuvenated Faera would initially be haughty and standoffish to the party, flitting between myriad forms and chastising them before eventually cooling off. She eventually reluctantly accepted her predicament as an effective subject of the party, taking a more amicable tone with them, though not losing her trademark Dominar elitism.

## Personality

Wacey employs charm like its coming out of his ears. He is one of the most charismatic, beloved people in town. He’s also a sociopath.

## Biography

Wacey used to bull ride in rodeos until an injury sent him looking for a new career. He settled on becoming a game warden, and he now patrols the district outside Twelve Sleep county adjacent to Joe’s district.

He’s a playboy known to chase skirt, he is gregarious, and a local legend who basks in the spotlight. He and Joe both came up under Vern Dunnegan and trained together on and off for years as Assistant Game Warden, and they got to know each other quite well in the process.

At the start of the Ote Keeley murder investigation, Wacey is Joe’s closest friend in town, and there is nobody outside his family Joe trusts more than Wacey, until Joe realizes that Wacey is playing him. Wacey made a deal with Vern, who was trying to get the pipeline project for InterWest Resources off the ground to make a lot of people rich. The deal was to eliminate an endangered weasel species that was found on the land where the pipeline was to be built. Vern hired Wacey to kill off the weasels, in exchange for making Wacey the Sheriff eventually, hoping to unseat Barnum, but Wacey made several mistakes along the way.

Wacey killed two outfitters when trying to do the job. He hired Ote Keeley and his hunting buddies to help kill the weasels but Ote threatens to reveal Wacey's plan if he doesn't get his hunting license back soon. Wacey shoots and kills Ote as well as Calvin and Kyle.

When Wacey realized there were weasels living near the Pickett house, he scared Sheridan who had befriended two weasels, into not telling her parents. He killed those weasels and went back to the house when he thought the Picketts were gone - however, Marybeth and Sheridan were there. Wacey shoots Marybeth, claiming wrong place wrong time, but winds up killing the unborn child instead of her, and then he tried to hunt down Sheridan who ran away. Joe comes just in time to help save Sheridan. Joe arrived with Vern, who ended up shooting Wacey. Wacey died at the Pickett house that day.
