Player Characters

Kerwyn the Mysterious: Kerwyn the Mysterious has earned his epithet as much for his unknown parentage as for his learning in the magical arts. Kerwyn grew up as apprentice to a wizard of dubious alignment. Despite his shadowy past, Kerwyn often displays a remarkable capacity for compassion and faith in humanity, although he is not beyond using extreme measures (including dark magics) to accomplish what he believes to be the greater good. Kerwyn has what some mall call a "treacherous" curiosity, which leads him to investigate arcane mysteries as well as the darker sides of nature. He is compiling all the lore he can on the hidden creatures of the world for a bestiary of the realms that he is writing, and which contains among other things illustrations, diagrams, and even bits and pieces of things he collects during his investigations. He is grateful for the opportunity to travel and work alongside Sir Kristoff, who he considers a friend, and his sense of compassion and keen insights serve him well in their work.

Sir Kristoff: Although Kristoff is a knight of Karameikos, his interests are somewhat atypical and his manner eccentric. Rather than dedicate himself to jousts, glorious battle, or tending to matters of court, Kristoff uses his station and talents to investigate and route out the hidden terrors that plague the realm. To maximize his effectiveness, he often hides his identity and resorts to subterfuge more readily than his knightly peers. Nevertheless, Kristoff operates within the knightly code (just barely) and commands the respect owed to his station when he so chooses.
