Hieronymous Crowe, the Transcendent ThaumaturgeA diviner famed even beyond London, it is said he is the bridge between Life and the Far Country. An amicable (if sleazy) man whose harsh teaching methods and unrelenting nature distanced his children from him. Though now retired, he once passed his trade secrets onto Henri Valentin, his most talented student - leaving his own son bitter and betrayed.

Balthazar Crowe, the Concealed Collegiate / Profligate ArmamenterOne of the lecturers from the University's Department of ______, the Concealed Collegiate's true motives are as hidden as his face. On the surface, he appears to be a fairly relaxed and kind person - one could even say he's a bit hazy, sometimes dozing off during breaks in lectures. His easy-going nature, however, belies a ruthless man with a razor-sharp mind and an unrelenting will.

Marlene "Marley" Shelton, the Cordial Gamine
Upon closer observation, one might find that amongst the whooping crowds of Stags there stands a member more striking - yet in truth considered by them to be as typical as the rest. Purportedly in a relationship with the beloved Effete Scion, certain rumours claim it to be nothing more than a sham meant to appease their overbearing families.

Gideon Alnwick, the Haughty Patrician
Coming from a side branch of the Royal Family itself, Gideon is - by all means - the very image of high upbringing. Though no-one - at least not those who respect their place in life - would dare to admit it out loud, rumors float that behind the well-groomed facade lies a cruel streak of terrifying proportions.

Sechen, the Perspicacious Keeper / Bandaged Gallivanter
The younger sister to a high-ranking official of Khan's and a court lady, Sechen never found much interest in trying to follow the paths of her siblings - prefering instead the company of animals to that of humans. As skilled in gaining the friendship of various beasts as gaining their hides, she and her falcon Baidar made a ferocious duo of hunters.
Upon the news of a civil war starting in the overzee lands of the Khanate, she sets out to make sure her brother survived, but finds no trace of him. Still, she doesn't return to the Fourth City - not until it's gone, buried beneath the cobblestones of London. Once again, she hurries back in hopes for her family's survival, but just like before - finds none. She starts her life anew, in this strange, new city - and eventually, finds a kindred soul amongst the black-clad ranks of Special Constables. |
Claude, the Nebulous AbsconderAn elusive target whose capture the Department of Menace Eradication has toiled away at for years, to no avail. Though many seek him, none have come close; he relishes the hunt, and knows the Neath as well as the back of his hand. A recent hunter has piqued his interest, though - the first in years to present any kind of a challenge.

Zerom(?), the Patchwork Racketeer
A curious man of less-than-legal pursuits and grotesque scarring on his face that only increases with each obstacle he removes from his way - can he truly be the beloved brother to a woman who dedicated her life to avenging his memory?
