Privateer/NPCs
Persons
Concordia
These are the Kithain that the PCs have met in California, specifically Prospect.
| Roger Almsley | |
|---|---|
| Kith | Boggan |
| Allegiance | Unknown |
| First Appearance | A Hop and a Skip |
Roger Almsley is a Boggan with a rather daring set of mutton chops. A cold and calculating Boggan, Roger is the middleman who hired the Journeyman to take a shipment of crates to Panama City and was met at the beginning of A Hop and a Skip. His allegiance is suspect, as he never gives up the name of his employer. However fingers could easily point to the Count of Emerald Dale given that by Roger's word the Journeyman serve the County on their mission. When the crew discovered that the cannons supplied by Emerald Dale were sabotaged, Tabin believed it to be Roger's work. Conn discerned however, through Backwards Glance, that Roger was not involved in the sabotage. Whether he was in on it, or knew of it however, remains to be known.
Kingdom of the Feathered Snake
These are the Kithain that the PCs have met in the Kingdom of the Feathered Snake. This includes Mexico and Central America.
| Sir Havrad Vega ap Gwydion | |
|---|---|
| Kith | Troll |
| Allegiance | Caer Cullis |
| Location | Panama City, Panama |
| First Appearance | A Hop and a Skip |
Not much is known about Havrad. Obviously the muscle of Javier's entourage, Havrad was met at the end of A Hop and a Skip when the shipments were delivered.
| Ipsha | |
|---|---|
| Kith | Nunnehi |
| Allegiance | Unknown |
| Location | Unknown |
| First Appearance | The Stowaway Side Job |
A heavily tattooed woman with dark complexion for a spaniard, dark hair and lustrous red eyes. Ipsha was the person being transported during the events of A Hop and a Skip. As the Gwydion Three sought international waters realizing what they were carrying, Wick awakened Ipsha believing she shouldn't be forced into sleep. Attacking Wick upon awakening, Ipsha froze most of the crew before getting restrained by Wick. She then disapppeared with the crates of weapons that were delivered, infuriating Javier who believes the Journeyman is responsible for Ipsha's presence and the ultimate theft.
| Sir Javier Argo ap Gwydion | |
|---|---|
| Kith | (Autumn) Sidhe |
| Allegiance | Caer Cullis |
| Location | Panama City, Panama |
| First Appearance | A Hop and a Skip |
Not your average Gwydion, Javier is a sworn knight in service to the Count of Panama. His autumn roots however distinguish him from other Gwydion, willing to get his hands dirty at times to perform a greater duty. Regardless what one might say about him, his honor guides his actions and there is no room for compromise. What that -is-? Is anyone's guess. Javier was one of the detachment who picked up the shipment from the County of Emerald Dale.
During the events of The Stowaway, Ipsha was awakened by Wick and stole the shipment of goods which turned out to be two crates full of high-powered weapons and explosives. The only one of the Gwydion Three not effected by Ipsha's powers, Javier attempted in vain to slay her. By the time he turned his attention to the Privateers, Wick and those on board were saved and the Journeyman escaped.
| Dame Zamora de la Viriathus ap Gwydion | |
|---|---|
| Kith | Arcadian Sidhe |
| Allegiance | Caer Cullis |
| Location | Panama City, Panama |
| First Appearance | A Hop and a Skip |
Little is known of the fair knight Zamora, an Arcadian Sidhe who is as out of touch with humanity as her alien features would suggest. The true noble of the Gwydion Three of Caer Cullis, Zamora is the quiet, observant, immobile pillar to Javier's zest and Havrad's strength. She was met during the end of A Hop and a Skip but was not interacted with.
The High Seas
These are the Kithain the PCs have met on the high seas.
| Tamar Salazar de Manikith | |
|---|---|
| Kith | Selkie |
| Ship | The Creeping Star (ex-Captain) |
| Location | Bay of California |
| First Appearance | |
Tamar Salazar is a spanish Selkie. He generally sticks to the Mexican coast, raiding and pilfering from cargo freighters or, if the gumption is good, from Kithain transports and merchanteers. He met the crew of the Journeyman as they returned from Panama City and engaged in battle only to lose, have his crew mutiny and leave him behind and take the ship. He is currently imprisoned at the County of Emerald Dale. Known as the Manikith as it appears his Kith seems to fluxuate from person to person, depending on who is looking at him and when. It was learned during The Prisoner Side Job That Tamar was not hired by any one person, instead following a rumor heard in "Haven" of a valuable shipment he sought to plunder.
Tamar has a high disdain for Concordians, much of the cause for his venture to strike the Journeyman was just as much prejudice as it was piracy.
| Nualla | |
|---|---|
| Kith | Eshu |
| Port of Call | Fairytales |
| Location | Hawai'i Island, Hawai'i. |
| First Appearance | A Spear in the Deep 1 |
The Proprietor of Fairytales, a Hearth Freehold on Hawai'i Island, Nualla is a Grump. She is a source of information but also a place of safety for many Kithain, especially given the current rule over Hawai'i by Prince Yraltien ap Ailil. Many courtiers of Hawai'i find their way to Fairytales to enjoy the atmosphere, the stories Nualla tells at the bar and the general peace. Of the Kithain holdings in the state, Fairytales is the only one that rarely hosts the native Menehune.
Nualla knows Tabin from his trading missions between Hawaii and California, the two Eshu exchanging stories and general tab-keeping. Fairytales was where the Privateers sought information on the Invictus.
| Prince Yraltien ap Ailil | |
|---|---|
| Kith | Arcadian Sidhe |
| Port of Call | Hawai'i Island. |
| Location | Hawai'i Island, Hawai'i. |
| First Appearance | A Spear in the Deep 1 |
Yraltien is a nobody to anyone outside Hawai'i. But for the natives of the Island, he is anything but. Hawai'i Island is almost 100 percent Unseelie, as Yraltien makes it an effort to drive out any stalwart Seelie presence (save Fairytales, which pays taxes). While the Privateers do not know much of Yraltien, he is an Oathbreaker - detected by Maggy and Erin when his warship The Shadowfire entered port, a yacht that to fae eyes looks like a live black sea dragon swimming in the waves. Tabin has made mention that Yraltien is a madman, but little else has been discussed of the Sidhe Lord.
| Commander Goggen Ironfoot | |
|---|---|
| Kith | Boggan |
| Ship | The Invictus |
| Location | Pacific Ocean, varies. |
| First Appearance | A Spear in the Deep 1 |
While never having been met, the Privateers have learned of the legendary captain of the Accordance Warship The Invictus. Goggen Ironfoot is an Accordance War veteran with the militia rank of Commander - as the Invictus was a key role in the war on the Pacific. To the Kithain of the High Seas he is a legend, to the Kithain of Concordia he is a tale of noble valor - if on the opposing team as he fought for the Commoners. Goggen retired following the Accordance War with his Nocker Wife, and retired into reclusivity. However it was learned that a patrol skiff sank his wife's fishing boat which seems to have triggered Goggen of coming out of retirement. Now the Invictus has taken to the seas once more sinking Concordian vessels as they exit the Dreaming into the Autumn World via Ocean Trods. People are wary of the Invictus's presence, given the reputation of it's captain, that if the Invictus has returned to the seas...war is coming.
Ships
| The Invictus | |
|---|---|
| Ship type | Cargo Carrier |
| Captain | Goggen Ironfoot |
| Arms | 9 Roaring Cannons |
| 4 Orinothopters | |
| 1 Mortar | |
Flagship of the Commoners during the Accordance War, the Invictus was Goggen's old cargo carrier during his time as a shipwright and hauler. When the Sidhe came knocking, Goggen reluctantly answered the call to arms joining the Commoner revolt against the Nobility. His cargo carrier became a high-value asset in the pacific theater.
The Invictus hosts 9 "roaring cannons", rumored to have been supplied by the Bes Din, which has all the destructive power of Vulcan artillery guns. The name derives from how the blast of the cannons sounds like a monsterous roar than a simple 'boom'. These cannons are mounted on rails that allow them to circumnavigate the ship and attack in 360 degrees with automated reloading caches so they can cycle the ship and rearm without needing manual loading. With the offered space a cargo carrier supplies it also can serve and arm air units with 4 Orinothopters as part of it's retinue. At the bow of the ship is one mortar cannon.
The Invictus served as the Pacific Theater's flagship of the Commoner Cause in the Pacific.
