Peers of the Imperium

Roaming

Captain Korbal Aizdar

Captain Azdar is a roaring giant of a man, quick to curse but quicker to laugh. His family lineage is an ancient one: his most prized possession, which he'll eventually get around to pointing out to any passenger, is his hereditary charter to ply the space lanes of Calixis and beyond as a free trader. Sealed behind a small stasis shield, the charter has been passed down in his family for close to a thousand years and bears the signature of no less a person then Drusus himself.

Captain Aizder has a stunning collection of oddities and artworks that he has amassed over the year, a common affectation with voidsmen, which he proudly shows off. He is especially fond of his Confesser Frog, a small amphibian known for both is distinct croaking cry of "repent-ti-ti" and the fact that it's the only known creature from the death world of Woe that is not deadly, at least not to humans.

Captain Korbel Aizder's ship, the Pax Behemoth, is a smaller vagabond class transport who's plodding gait makes her a slow but reliable vessel for trading among the comparatively safe warp lanes of the Calixis sector.

During their short stay when they booked passage on the Pax Behemoth, Drake became good friends with the jovial captain.

Scintilla

Laurent Strophes

Nobleman Strophes is a broad man, resembling a large stump with legs. His left arm and right eye are graceful prosthetics of adamantine and sliver, clearly worth a fortune. He wears loose fitting garments and keeps his head shaved. Strophes speaks with a forceful ringing tone and stands with an erect posture that instantly gives him away as a former officer of the Imperial Navy. His daughter has managed to bring out a muted sense of humour in him, though, and he isn't as grimp as one may expect from his appearance. He is very straightforward, with no hidden agenda.

Julia Strophes

Julia wears brightly colored garments with long trails that swirl about her feet as she moves. Her bright red hair is cut short about her neck. A cheerful and headstrong woman, Julia disdains the normal activities that most young noblewomen of Hive Sibellus regularly fill their time with, a trait she blames on her beloved hard-headed father. Julia is an exception in some ways to the typical Sibellus noble outlook as she was truly worried about her cousin and does care about people in a vague sort of way.

Sorkat Authwaite

A weathly nobleman with extensive holdings in Gunmetal City, Authwaite is a strudy looking fellow in his 150s. He is a true gun aficiondo and always enjoys speaking to those who "know their barrels from their backsides".

Lord Raephen Verence

Verence is one of the nobles of Marius Hax's court, and easily one of the most influential members of Scintilla society you have been introduced to. His features have taken on the amorphously ageless quality of one who uses rejuvenate treatments to frequently. He often keeps himself surrounded by a bevy of young ladies to continually laugh at his bad jokes.

Lady Tanae Borella

Tanae is an older madam of austere appearance, but she is still a bright light in the room, figuratively and often literally. Unlike many of the noble members of the Joyous Choir, she has become a true believer, and his happy to spread their message to others.

Silvester Bogomov

A gaunt, middle-aged noble who's major wealth comes from Scintilla's unusual fishing industry. Having just come into some extra wealth, he purchased a couple of nicer pieces from Drake's cargo to better impress his peers.

Tamera Spealding

A young, beautiful noble woman and cheep date, Tamera was swept off her feet by Lord Tacticus.

Carmen Puedta

A middle aged woman and social butterfly, she is hampered by her dim-witted husband, who she is often preventing from doing lasting damage to their finances or reputation.

Malene Trun

Malene is a pretty woman who, as a mid-hiver, is out of her depth when dealing with the nobles of Hive Sibellus. She is a devout member of the Joyous Choir. After the cult's founder, Caros Shoal, died and several propionate counselors were arrested, Malene found herself catapulted up to a senior position within the Joyous Choir, now all but running the cult while it searches for legitimacy.

Inquisitor Staven Arcturos

Inquisitor Arcturos is a relatively new to the rank of Inquisitor Lord, and is just getting used to operating in an the semi-open, rather then working from the shadows as younger, less prominent inquisitors do. While it is unknown where he bases his operations out of, he does at least keep a few offices on Scintilla for meeting with his acolytes and others of interest. He is known to be of the Ordo Xenos, and use Farseer's runestones, which marks him as a moderate, if not a radical.

Seperus Sencondus

Baron Havalir Saerton Ulbrexis

Baron Ulbrexis became know through out the Calixis Sector as one of the greatest Deviants in its recent history. Described as a persuasive Orator and ruthless heretic by Imperial Scribes, the Baron led a massive serf rebellion supported by countless mutants which killed millions of serfs, scores of nobles and All but brought Sepheris Secundus grinding to a halt. At long last, he was tracked down an executed by the tireless members of the Adeptus Arbites. Or so the official story goes.

The true Baron was much more restrained on his approach, and while his work did significantly reduce the mineral output of the mines, he was by no means bringing the world to its knees. Instead he championed serfs rights and a modernization of the mining processes both to increase production and pull his world out from the endless cycle of mining and imports. His revolution was virtually bloodless until his lieutenant, Assod Morirr, took to his own plans and started a series of deadly, violent attacks for his own retribution against the unmutated masses.

True to the story, the Baron was captured by the Arbeties, who hunted him down under pressure from the legitimate planetary government. He was, however not executed, but rather sent away and imprisoned in the main Imperial prison on the moon of Solas. There he would sit, read and rot for a decade before finally bring freed by the Rogue Trader Drake. Though he has suffered malnutrition, imprisonment and even torture, he remains unbroken.
