Non Player Characters
Grumblejack - Ogre - One of the few left in Talingarde, he is powerful and rather clever...for an ogre. Having stolen from powerful "little'uns", he was captured, drugged, and placed in an reenforced cell for Bradenscar's guards to brag about and mock. When the escaping prisoners came across him, he was healed by Kuro and easily convinced to go with them when freed. He is quite happily adding additional muscle to the group, as long as the spellcasters keep their distance, and his strength makes him a one ogre backage train.
Stygian - Eidolon - Upon his conversion to Asmodeus, Zinogre was gifted with the Great Worm of the Pit, Stygian. The powerful creature is surly and strong willed, obeying only it's Summoner, but it's brutal power has proven to be a useful asset during the escape from Branderscar and beyond.
Medea - Tiefling - Level 3 Oracle - The partner of Warlady Megara, and the cause of her arrest. The Oracle was waiting for Megara at Cardinal Thorn's home after discussions with Tiadora. She acts as a support, casting healing and helping spells from behind the battle lines.
Nezumiiro - Limited Eidolon - When one of Kuro's fox companions got a whiff of the terrible poison created in the kitchens, Kuro was forced to save her life by turning her into a limited, weaker version of an Eidolon. Now a cloaked, hooded creature covered in strange armour with mechanical wings, Nezu acts as Kuro's bodyguard.
Gin - Fox Familiar - The second of Kuro's animal friends, Ginwas bonded to Kuro at the same time Nezu was made an Eidolon.
