Meet the Frantic Four:

Jeremy Whitebark (Fighter 2) - Jeremy is a long time sailor on.. ships of a certain ill repute, let's say.. although he long since quit the life, not having the stomach for the rough life of a pirate. His life lead him to the town of Glory when a press gang Captain informed him that he matched the description of a man thought to have left the pirate vessel Rapscallion soon before it was seized by Klavan port officials for unregistered trade (read: Smuggling). He had two options, one, accept a new opportunity with the Barony's resettlement program, or. possibly fave an investigation into his past life. He volunteered. He's the leader of the group, and a smooth talker (who's prone to picking slight loopholes in his promises)

Dagon (The Strange) (Warlock 2) The gnome known as Dagon is.. not well liked by most people who he interacts with. Oh, he's pleasant enough.. gives fair price and will not be cross with those who are not cross with him, but it's well known that he consorts with.. things.. things not of this world. And he has the unnerving habit of asking folks if they've "Found Th'rag'an the Elder in their life". This usually causes folks to hurriedly hold up their religious symbols, or make the religious gestures of their religion before hurrying away. Dagon has voluntarily moved out to Glory to seek new areas in his search for signs of the Old Ones and their Fell Presence across the Worlds that Are.

Alexandras Harkkon (Wizard/Rogue) Alexandras is not your typical wielder of magic, nor your typical rogue. She could be fine at either art, should she apply herself to it. Unfortunately, she was released from her apprenticeship with her Master (arranged for by her Noble family) when she was caught using her skills to steal reagents from the Master's supply cabinets instead of acquiring them herself. She's not EVIL, per se, she's just.. constantly seeking shortcuts as long as they don't "hurt anyone else". Her family considers her the black sheep of the family, and paid for her to be assigned to Glory, where they hope that the hard life of a Settler will teach her some lessons about the value of hard work and an honest day's pay. Unfortunately for her family, she immediately volunteered for the adventurer group, figuring that while adventuring was being "cold, wet and miserable" at times, at least it wasn't ALL the time, and after all, it gave her a chance to use her skills and show she really can do things if she puts her mind to it. Now if she can just stop taking those shortcuts...

Demeter of the Storm(Cleric 2) Demeter is.. different from the other members of the group. He actually volunteered for this, not only as a settler, but as a member of the Traveling Militia (as the adventurer's groups are euphemistically named). He is a member of the Church of Yllanst, The Tester, who teaches that life is a tempest that must be sought out, challenged and overcome. Unfortunately, while he doesn't have anything against his colleagues.. he finds a reason to be uncomfortable with each one (Jeremy's past history and flippancy with his "word", Alexandras's flightiness and past, and Dagon's weirdness and general Warlockness). He works with them, but cannot truly call them friends.
