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 years, a common affectation with wealthy voidsmen, which he proudly shows off. He is especially fond of his Confessor 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. Her massive cargo holds make good on keeping such lanes profitable, and Captain Aizder has maintained his modest fortune working critical and last minute shipments that can't wait for the next Mass Conveyor to come around.

During their short stay when they booked passage on the Pax Behemoth, Drake became good friends with the jovial captain. He offered up the use of his ship again, should Drake ever find himself with Calixis sector shipping that he needed done.

Captain Archabald Keel

Captain Keel is the Lord Captain of the Hand of Redemption, a Imperial Navy Lunar-Class cruiser in the Calixis Battlefleet.  The Explorers first encounted Keel when he informed them of his mission to their lost colony of Svard.  He accompanied them to the system officially under the Rogue Trader's command, but stayed out of most of the endeavor searching the system.  As was discovered later, he was secretly searching the system for his twin brother, who had traveled to the system and disappeared.  

After the discovery of his Whisperer-possessed brother on Installation 23, Captain Keel joined in the battle fighting against first the possessed station, than the battleship sized form of the Whisperer itself.  His brother, who was an inquisitorial acolyte, was ultimately killed in the fighting.  Although Captain Keel took his brother's death hard, he did not blame the Drake.

Later investigation with the Imperial Navy discovered that Captain Keel had, in fact, not been ordered to Svard, or even the Koronus Expanse by the Admiralty, but had simply traveled there during his patrol to search for his brother.  His successful destruction of a Xenos threat and subtle influence by the Inquisition saved his captainship, but he's been relegated to convoy duty for transports headed to the Periphery War.

Interrogator Septimus Strophes

Septimus Strophes is a Throne Agent for Inquisitor Lord Staven Arcturos, as well as a distant cousin of Laurent Strophes. Lord Drake met him on his wedding day, but it was not long before he introduced himself as an agent for the Inquisitor Lord. It was he who brought up the notion, on behalf of Staven Arcturos, of taking a force to the Periphery War and assisting in locating specific xenos threats. In exchange, the Inquisitor would use some of his influence to support Lord Drake's forces and legitimacy for being in the Periphery Subsector with an independent army and fleet.

Once it was time to deploy to the Periphery War, Septimus joined them while serving on board an Arbites frigate. Ostensibly, he was there as a high-ranking Arbitrator to help bring the Lex Imperialis back to the subsector, but his primary goal is to ferret out the secrets of xenos presence.

As a Throne Agent, he ranks as an Interrogator, working as a secret-breaker for Lord Inquisitor Arcturos. Those in the know with Inquisition agents know that he is being groomed to eventually assume the role as a full Inquisitor, following in his Master's footsteps. Being given the lead to hunt down xenos abominations in the chaos of the Periphery War is seen as a test for his ability to command and advance the goals of Ordo Xenos without the traditional support of planetary governments or other arms of the Imperial government.

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 Drake (neé 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.

She is the recent bride to Acanthus Drake.

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.
