Captain Renchild |
Human (male) |
FIghter/Expert/Rogue |
Hostile |
Renchild is a man of two natures; one public and one private. His public face is a curmudgeonly ship captain who tries to make an honest living while trying to avoid being under the command of anyone but himself. Neither good nor bad, he is a man chiefly concerned with his own well-being and comfort. His private life takes a drastic turn, however, revealing him to be a greedy, cruel man who does not hesitate to extort or hurt those who stand in his way. This side of him is opportunistic, coming out when the potential for profit is at its highest and he is unlikely to be put in harm’s way. Renchild is the previous Captain/owner of the Lionfish. He fled the Lionfish mutiny and his whereabouts are currently unknown.

The Harbormaster |
Human (male) |
Bard/Venturer |
Unfriendly |
Bonetowners have a passing acquaintanceship with concepts such as ‘government,’ ‘civic duty,’ and ‘citizenship.’ After the rigid discipline of their ship captains, pirates have little tolerance for the yoke of governance once they set ashore. The closest thing to a head of state possessed by Bonetown is the Harbormaster, Linus Icahn. A former captain in the Aisildur navy, Linus absconded with his ship and turned to adventuring after his heartseed was removed. He also happens to be a scion in the Shipping Guild of Elenna, though what role he plays in that diminished organization and what influence they may have in Bonetown is yet to be realized.
Linus arrived in Bonetown with a shipful of gold and several former adventuring compatriots. In a fortnight he convinced the Captains’ Council to allow him to police the harbor. When they asked him why he wanted to do that, he simply replied, “I see potential, good sirs. I see potential.” The Harbormaster ensures general order along the docksides and marketplaces, though for a pirate enclave this amounts to little more than preventing looting or murder. Petty acts of larceny and vandalism are ignored, but anyone attempting a mugging in broad daylight is likely to draw the attention of the Harbormaster’s men. Dueling, on the other hand, is considered a spectator sport and more likely to draw crowds and betting than legal intervention. The Harbormaster (call him Linus and you’ll be thrown in the harbor!) doesn’t allow such things on the docks. What happens elsewhere, he doesn’t care about. In fact, if there is a murder going on two feet off the edge of the pier, he’ll watch silently and do nothing.
Linus enforces his rule with hired guards, typically posted in small guardposts that look more like small outhouses at various spots throughout the docks, wearing the blue Jolly Roger on bands around their arms. They do have some small, fast boats to go out into the harbor waters if needed, but usually they leave such things alone. They are more interested in keeping order than solving crimes, however, so investigative work is unheard of. These guards are led by Linus’ capable right-hand man, Enoch Almraiven. Almraiven is a former mercenary and officer in the Mailed Fist and came to Bonetown with Linus Icahn after several seasons of adventuring together.

Enoch Almraiven |
Human (male) |
Fighter/Connoisseur |
Unfriendly |
Enoch Almraiven is the right-hand man of the Harbormaster and his chief enforcer. As a captain in the Mailed Fist, he had a storied career on the continent before retiring. Enoch Almraiven is a Dirt City native, but he spent most of his adult life elsewhere. When he was fifteen, he joined the Mail Fist under an assumed name. As ‘Sander Morgan’ the young man became a seasoned mercenary. By the age of eighteen, he was leading his own brigade. At twenty, he was a captain. He gained a reputation as a ruthless and effective commander, and “Morgan’s Raiders” became rightly feared on the battlefield. His company was in the employ of the Aisildur Empire for a time, and following that regime’s collapse Almraiven found himself a wanted wan despite his mercenary standing. Fleeing the crumbling empire, he joined with Linus Icahn’s adventuring party and found employment with the entrepreneur to his liking. He now works in Bonetown enforcing the Harbormaster’s taxes and tariffs on goods coming through the docks (and sometimes even keeping the order, when it’s convenient).

Sgt Helmbane is a dwarven male that stands at 4'8", 205lbs. He is one of the two leaders of the party's double fist. He is very gruff and does not speak much. He comes across as very gruff and mistrusting. He is obviously a lifelong soldier that is new to command.
Sgt Trimmack is a human male that stands at 6'3", 215lbs of pure chiseled muscle. He is one of the two leaders of the party's double fist. His skin is dark as ebony aside from a few red scars that trace his skin. He speaks with an air of confidence, but is not cocky. He speaks as a man who has faced overwhelming odds and came through the victor.
Qualtmie Redfist Northernvoice -- also known as "Q" -- is the quartermaster of the Fist's Citadel. She is a halfling, small even by halfling standards, with olive skin, almond-shaped eyes, and a shock of bright red hair that seems almost unnatural. She is nervous when things go wrong. She owes the party a favor for ridding her stores of a rat infestation.
Knight Captain Constance Palance is the officer in charge of the Citadel. She has shown herself to be fair, but extremely strict. She takes command seriously, and expects much from those to whom she delegates command. She and Sgt. Trimmack elevated Double Fist to the station of Agents of the Fist and gave Nikolai command as Thumb.
