Footfall - Notable Persons of Footfall: Liege of Footfall Tanthus Moross - Moross was an ill-tempered, machine-enhanced recidivist until he abruptly murdered the last Liege of Footfall during a confrontation between factions in 808.M41. As Footfall's Liege, Moross has lasted longer than most, perhaps because his horizons are narrow. He has shown little interest in attempting to control the port, and far greater regard for collecting bribes from factions who enjoy this state of affairs. He uses this wealth to purchase concubines from the Tutors and increasingly ornate bionic augmentations. Moross is now almost a vehicle in human form, a strange sight indeed amidst the silks of his audience bedchamber, surrounded by fearful slaves. Suspicious minds wonder what is hidden behind this brute of a figurehead, and whether he is truly as simple as he seems.Vladaym Tocara - A senior negotiator for the Kasballica, Tocara dresses severely -- grey bodysuit, small silver Aquila, thin Data-Slate, shaven head -- and never smiles. Attended by armoured Kasballica Enforcers, Tocara is always present at the Liege’s Court to pay his respects to a newly arrived Rogue Trader, his adherence to the forms of tradition precise and efficient. Vladaym Tocara is the gateway to a vast array of illegal services, hidden information, and dangerous goods secreted in caches upon Footfall, but the price is always high. In particular, Tocara seeks greater formal ties between Rogue Traders and his masters, and influence upon the flow of xenos technology and Halo Artefacts into the Cold Trade. He actively seeks out newly arrived Rogue Traders, introducing himself and cautiously exploring their potential interest in less-than-legal enterprises. Tocara can prove to be a very useful individual for Rogue Traders new to the Koronus Expanse. His connections can aid in setting up smuggling routes from Vaporius into the Calixis Sector, and he can aid in selling Aeldari artefacts through the Cold Trade, the black market commerce in xenos items proscribed in the Calixis Sector.Calcus Calinnicus - Calcus Calinnicus is a vat-muscled thug with a taste for narco-tribe drugs and whose word is considered unbreakable. Calinnicus is the nearest thing the Black Brotherhood have to a leader -- a bully on the surface but possessed of a core of iron. Calinnicus is a murderer fifty times over, a number that would be much higher if he did not prefer to leave his victims crippled but alive, "So the scum can think over their mistakes." He reserves his worst for those who break their word, no matter what the circumstances.Attar Soloket - A burnt-out astropath, Attar Soloket has become a soothsayer and cult leader who has drawn around her a small coven of wyrdlings and madmen with whom she claims to share great secrets of events yet to come to pass. Her nerves damaged by telepathic strain, Soloket obsessively orders every aspect of her life by the dictates of the Emperor's Tarot, refusing to deal with those marked as bearing ill. Soloket dwells in a cramped, candlelit hold of Footfall with her disciples. Despite the strangeness of her claims, many come in secret to the prophetess soothsayer and leave again with answers and the offering plate held in Soloket's hands filled with golden Thrones.Preacher Ywane - Preacher Ywane is in fact not a true, ordained priest of the Ecclesiarchy but a weak-willed fool, driven by a surfeit of opinions but lacking in the stomach or true conviction to follow them through. Years ago, Ywane went by another name, and it is said fled from some debt or misfortune and came to Footfall, where he found the Light of the Emperor and ordained himself as a "preacher of the Emperor's Truth." He has subsequently tried to build himself a position of political and moral authority in Footfall but has so far failed to achieve anything beyond becoming the spineless tool of others. He is also an ally of the Kasballica Mission, a fact that he believes is a complete secret but is in fact widely known across the void-settlement, and he acts as their mouthpiece in the Liege's Court. This cowardly alliance has in no small way kept the false preacher alive through years of foolery and mischance.The Provisor - The Provisor is a member of the sinister slaver group known as the Tutors. The Provisor is the intermediary through which most that have dealings with the masters of the Red Schola come to an arrangement. A disturbing figure, the features of the Provisor's face are pushed out of place by the tubing of life-preserving bionics which snake all around his body, swathed in dark grey robes hemmed with deepest red. The Provisor is calculating, scrupulous to a fault in business dealings, and utterly ruthless when the opportunity arises to exploit the oversights of others. More than one potential slave owner has failed to carefully plan their transaction with the Tutors and been enslaved and broken for their carelessness.
