The Returners

Janiven - second-in-command, female human ranger. Stern and reserved most of the time, but passionate about the city of Westcrown and the cause of the Returners.

Arael - leader, male half-elf cleric of Iomedae. Arael desires nothing more than the toppling of House Thrune and an end to the Infernal presence within Cheliax. He is wise enough to know that this is a very long-term goal, and is content to inspire the Returners to act as the "people's heroes" and change the culture of Westcrown by example.

Amaya - female Tian human. Amaya is a well-mannered glassblower and and incredibly beautiful woman who's somewhat self-conscious about the effect her appearance has on others - she dresses plainly as a result.

Ermolos - male Chelish human. Ermolos is incredibly muscular, a physique the result of an apprentiship as a blacksmith. He walks with a slight limp.

Fiosa - female halfling. Fiosa is a house servant of Rokkek Ingerr (a merchant in the Adventurers' Quarter) who is friends with many halfling slaves; she takes advantage of her freedom to help her kin as best she can.

Gorvio - male Chelish human. Gorvio works for his uncle Jacovo, a horse trader in the Adventurers' Quarter, but has increasingly grown curious about his ancestry - his vibrant amber eyes make him suspect that somewhere in his past lurks the blood of a tiefling or two.

Larko - male Garundi human. Larko lives a simple life as a dock worker, but daydreams of his childhood in the hills east of Westcrown and hopes someday to be able to afford to move out of the city and live a hunter's life.

Mathalen - female Chelish human. Mathalen is a thin a wiry woman who worked as a porter but found the job dreadfully dull. She got through her days by making sure to take frequent breaks to meditate and purge her mind of "the poisons of menial labour." This attitude struck her employer as lazy, and she was recently fired from her job and thinks of the Returners as her new calling.

Rizzardo - male Varisian human. After stowing away on a Chelish ship, Rizzardo found himself more or less stuck in Westcrown years ago. He earns his keep working at odd jobs as an unskilled labourer, but has to switch jobs frequently as a result of his temper and impatience at following orders from one person for too long. He enjoys the company of Ermolos immensly, and considers him akin to a brother.

Sclavo - male Garundi human. A soft-spoken yet intractable (if secretive) worshipper of Iomedae, Sclavo has worked as a scribe for one of Westcrown's courts. He longs for a day when the laws of Cheliax can be reformed.

Tarvi - female Chelish human. Tarvi's parents own a prosperous garment shop in Westcrown
- Bertuccio's Clothiers in the Adventurers' Quarter. She's worked there for years, but is far too witty and intelligent to do the job well. In those years she has engineered no less than a dozen attempts by her parents to get her married into nobility. Her true passion is studying magic, and hopes someday to be able to create and sell magical clothing.

Vitti - male Chelish human. Vitti is a strange, eccentric man who dyes his hair green and refuses to eat any food he doesn't grow or catch himself. A talented woodcarver who works for Dino Caravello (owner of Caravello's Equipment in the Adventurers' Quarter), he prides himself on the fact that he only carves wood that's been harvested from deadfalls and other trees that died of natural causes.

Yakopulio - female gnome. Of all the Returners, noisy and irreverent Yakopulio is the least religious - she wears her athiesm proudly, and her eagerness to contradict often sparks arguments among others in the group. She works as a bartender at a tavern called the Bruised Eel.
