THE CHARACTERS
LARK
Hunter/Trapper
She’s an odd one, people will tell you. A relatively new transplant to Vermillion County, she keeps to herself and ekes out a modest living in the red wastes outside the settlement of Stationary Hill. How she gets by, nobody quite knows — but when she shows up in town every week peddling fresh hides from the territory’s most dangerous predators, folks know better than to ask questions.
Moc Weepe
Impresario, Black Candle Cabaret
Always in the background and occasionally on the stage, Mr. Weepe is a longtime fixture of Stationary Hill’s most fashionable (and only) supper club. Good with guests and even better with numbers, his adroit management and cunning business savvy have elevated the cabaret from a failing sideshow to an enviable local institution.
Phineas Thatch
Adsecla to the Prime Consector
Recently-appointed right hand of Jonas Spahr, one of the Trust’s most celebrated figureheads, young Phineas Thatch has risen from the lowest tier of society to occupy a station of spectacular prestige. With the eyes and ears of a doting public exceedingly upon him, Thatch strives to perform his role with the utmost Valor — and to ultimately earn a momentous accolade rarely afforded one of his upbringing.
Atticus Concord
"Businessman"
Back when he was a newspaper reporter and still used his real name, Concord found his zest for life and level of income significantly bolstered when he threw journalistic integrity to the wind and applied his top-notch investigative skillset to identifying and blackmailing crooked businesses. He’s done quite well for himself in this new line of work, conquering one shifty operation after another, and now his sights are set on the decidedly questionable businesses of Stationary Hill. He expects he’ll earn his pay in no time.
Jonas Spahr
Prime Consector of the Trust
Darling of the media and foremost public agent of the Trust, Jonas Spahr is spectacularly good at his job. He accomplishes high-stakes deeds with aplomb, serves effortlessly as spokesperson for the Trust’s charitable operations, and performs admirably as a handsome, enviable representative of Un society’s tireless pursuit of Valor. He’s been doing this for a long time and has settled into his fame and status with total confidence. And yet, somehow he manages to seem pretty humble about it and still be the kind of guy you could totally hang out with.
Sherman Guthrie
Bartender, Black Candle Cabaret
Dab hand behind a bar, Guthrie brings easy charm and decades of wine and spirits expertise to the Black Candle. Previously a popular bartender at several of the Un’s more prestigious hotels, Guthrie and his young daughter, Tzila, relocated recently to Stationary Hill in what some have argued was possibly the worst career move of all time. For his many admirers in Stationary Hill, Guthrie’s presence is exceedingly welcome — no matter the detriment to him.
Tzila Guthrie
Precocious Preteen
A far cry from the dangerous, mica-strewn expanses of her upbringing, the rugged sprawl of Stationary Hill provides Tzila with boundless diversions. Her father worries she’s bored. She’s not, but she suspects that he is, so she keeps him company at the Black Candle Cabaret whenever he’ll let her hang out there. She draws a lot. She has a knack for it.
Saskia Del Norma
Founder, Black Candle Cabaret
Former headliner in the Un’s competitive entertainment scene, Ms. Del Norma’s elegance and mystique provide the backbone of Stationary Hill’s sophisticated cabaret. Once a mainstage attraction in the establishment’s early years, she now takes more of a backseat in the club’s programming and operations, preferring to focus on matters of music and choreography. The cabaret’s regular performers routinely cite Del Norma as one of the more fair and supportive managers they’ve ever worked under.
The Grandmother
Figurehead, Lazaretto of the Mothers Merciful
Imelda Goldfinch
Field Notary, Stationary Hill Mission
Jedediah Pom
Media Attaché to the Consector
"Backpack"
Teletheric Broadcast Technician, Assistant to Jedediah Pom
Oh, yeah: her. She follows Jedediah Pom around and carries his microphones and stuff. She’s an intern, which probably means she’s paid “in experience.”
Kozma Laszlo
Baron of the Fold Shallows
Ask anyone: Kozma Laszlo is a confident, capable, shadowy, and dynamic figure within the United Baronies. She owns Midst, she owns a lot of other islets in the Fold Shallows, and she probably knows more about you than you do about her.
Imogen Loxlee
CEO, Loxlee Lights
