Holst's Men
Baldwin
Squire — Age 11 — Prologue
Eleven years old and already shaped by the weight of other people's survival. Carries his brother the way some boys carry a blade — close, and with both hands.
Holst's Men
Sybillian
Squire — Age 8 — Prologue
Smaller than he should be, quieter than is comfortable. Dreams too vividly for his own peace of mind.
Khartha's Waterfront
Renn Atwell
Thief — Age 17
Seventeen. Owes money to dangerous people and has a talent for making problems slightly smaller than they were before he arrived. Teaches what he knows to anyone who asks.
Khartha's Waterfront
Jory
Thief — Age 16
Sixteen and constitutionally incapable of patience. Has plans that are better than they sound and a smile that makes them sound worse than they are.
Rowland's Circle
Kassias Mowbray
Acolyte Scholar — Age 22
Second son of a house in quiet decline. Placed with the city's most formidable scholar and told it was an opportunity. It was. The arrangement behind it was something else.
The Union
Rowland Valemont
High Magus — Age 51
One of the most renowned magi in the world. Did not chase that reputation — it accumulated around him while he was looking for something else.
Rowland's Circle
Serelyn Thorne
Acolyte Scholar — Age 20
From Valemere. Chosen for the acolyte position because she was the most capable candidate and Rowland selects accordingly. Knows something about Kassias that she has chosen not to say.
