• Hadrian Siordanti - Father of Nauleth Siordanti, a high-ranking politician.
• Brent Locksme - A short, squat Bastian galdor in his early 40s, with hair that's already gone white but a short, pointy beard that's still black. He holds a patent for a steam locomotive and is working with the city on tentative plans for a system of trains that will tie together the entire nation. He is a clever man, but shallow.
• George Niccols - The leader of the Society for Passive Equality. A tall man in his early 50s who seems to be rather hesitant on taking any decisive action on part of the Society because of his overbearing wife and daughter.

Resistance NPCs

• Jon Serro - Male human, unknown age, probably in his early 40s. The leader of the resistance, Serro took over after Marcus Ford was killed. Though he is a rallying figure who has brought more support to the resistance than any other leader, some consider his methods too violent or too severe. He is willing to do whatever it takes to end the oppression of his people.
• Alyssa Pierre - Female human, ~34 years old. Head assassin for Jon Serro. A skilled and agile killer, she is looked up to by many new recruits as an example of cold professionalism.
• Johann Ceres - Male galdor, ~50 years old, approximate. Works for the resistance as an initiator, "nice guy" and information gatherer. Has unresolved issues with Jon Serro.
• Oxidus - Male nonmagical, ~35 years old. Gathers information and sells it to the highest bidder, which is currently the resistance. Has a Bastian accent, probably hails from there. Dresses in all black and likes to lurk around the rafters of the Book and Bell.
• Nannis - Twenty eight. Resistance member. Very tall. Brown shoulder length and hazel eyes. Human. Usually dressed in black and covers face and hair as not to be recognized in everyday life. Would be more commonly called an 'assasin'. Wears a green wristband from Fion Smith, whom helps her control her anger management issues.
• Seria - Female wick, ~29 years old. Seria is quite violent when she gets her blood up and she enjoys taking trophies from those she maims. She wasn't always like this but once she discovered a talent for mayhem she embraced it. This upsets her long term partner, Marsh.
• Marsh - Male human, ~32 years old. Marsh believes in freedom, equality and raising a large family. He likes children and has a peaceful personality that is never quite enough to temper the likes of Seria and Deb. He's out of his depth and he knows it.
• Mad Casey - Male human, barely 15 years old. He is idealistic and eager for social change, giving him a sometimes fervent and crazed look in his eye when on a mission. He idolizes Jon Serro and thinks he can do no wrong.
• Fix-You Henderson - Male human, 34 years old. Fix-You ("Jonah" by birth) is a gambler, card-counter and rogue, and holds a grudge like none other. He has a fantastic memory and never forgets a face, making him ideal for acts of revenge. His weapon of choice is a butterfly knife slipped into his sleeve.
• Polly Steamer - Female human, 28 years old. A dour and sarcastic woman, Polly (under a pseudonym) has quickly risen to the higher ranks of information gathering due to her voracious and unflinchingly brave acts of espionage and deception. She has large ears and is said to be able to hear through walls. Her nickname comes from the common joke that she can parrot back even complex bits of code without a problem.
• Armand "Nails" Negotie - Male human, 55 years old. A veteran of the resistance, Nails is the first to bring up a potential problem with a plan. His skepticism and calm clear-headed nature in a crisis is an asset to most teams, although his manner gets on a few peoples' nerves. Nails has no patience for incompetence and often gives scathing critiques to younger cadets. Most, however, are fond of him, as he is a good mentor and extremely trustworthy.
• Tanner - Young human girl (14-16sh). She's an obvious tom boy; she's short, lanky, with messy brown hair to her ears, hazel eyes, and an up-turned nose. She is often pouty. Tanner has a peculiar skill with anything that requires aiming (bows, slingshots, guns, crossbows, rocks), steady hand, keen eye, and very little patience. She's small enough to conceal herself and often serves as a look-out and/or sniper.

The Book and Bell

The Book and Bell is a tavern that serves as a cover for resistance operations.

• Solid Stu (Stuart Grey) - Male human, 30. Dark brown hair, blue eyes. A "solid" character - dependable, trustworthy, and surprisingly strong. He runs the tavern with his assistant, Rum Ginny.
• Rum Ginny (Virginia Dair) - Female witch, 16. Tall, lanky redhead with pointed bangs, side locks and a leather headband; likes to wear striped bloomers for pants. Very knowledgeable and experienced for her age, as a result of liaising with the resistance and working in a bar. Has a lot of common sense and keeps Stu grounded in reality. Can be immature at times.
• Phineas Clout - Male human, 26. Tall, skinny, pale and tow-headed. Supposedly sent by the resistance to cover for Solid Stu. Phin is a worthless bartender, and Ginny resents him, but he is patient and relatively friendly. He secretly aspires to be a world-class chef.

• Detective Inspector Jarvis Thurible - A somewhat sour-tempered,long-faced, ill-mannered Inspector of the plainclothes division. At 52, he has been an Inspector for some considerable time and, owing to his abrasive personality and his own preference, looked likely to remain an Inspector all his life. Thurible is dedicated to his work but has little time for the pomp and splendor of the Seventen, a view he makes known with all his customary gracelessness.
• Detective Constable Oswald Blakeney - A man of about thirty assigned to the plainclothes division. Generally a pleasant fellow, competent, thorough, and utterly incapable of making a tolerable cup of tea.

• Ensign Dadton - Female galdor with reddish-brown hair. She's green as well as fairly new to the Seventen. She has yet to experience the full realities of her position.

Other NPCs

There are 15-20 cats with her at all times (sometimes more depending on the amount of kittens any one cat might have while in her care). Tilly is old, but spry, and it is a mystery to most people how she manages to survive. She seems to make a living off of selling the various things she's found on the streets and harassing people into giving her money.
• Jeffery - A mentally challenged moa with a heart of gold.
• Portia Niccols - George Niccol's daughter, the Vienda and Brunnhold socialite who has an angelic face but a rather stonelike heart. She takes after her mother, in that way.
