Professsor Pendrake
Thain Raleah (Wiz12): Thain is a distinguished
member of the Corvis branch of the Fraternal Order of
Wizardry. His exploits as a wizard are quite well known,
and he has made himself a welcome adventuring partner to
Pendrake many times (the two get along famously). He has
also been helpful in procuring access for Pendrake to the
order’s extensive library. Those who have played The Longest
Night will remember Thain as one of the three wizards
romping through the streets, fighting off the hordes of
thralls during the Longest Night massacre.
Natalia Casale (Ari6): Natalia is the wife of one of
largest and most powerful merchants in Corvis (and all of
Cygnar for that matter), and she secretly runs its operation
through her spineless, puppet husband. Although a ruthless
woman, she has proved quite a resource to Pendrake who has
in turn done various favors for her company. She also draws
quite a bit of water in the circles of Corvis’ wealthy elite.
Gusten “Chilly” Vilchmanker (Rog7): While he’s not
the type one would find at a high society gathering, Chilly
is still a well-connected man in Corvis and beyond. His
knowledge of Corvis’ underworld and—most importantly—the
traffic coming in and out of the city is extensive,
and Pendrake relies on him for many tips. He can typically
be found loafing around the docks.
Mitchel Filkins (Ftr8): One of Corvis’ finest,
Mitchel is a proud member of the Corvis Watch. In
many ways he’s a beat guardsman like his colleagues, but
Mitchel has been around long enough to see everything
the city has to offer. He knows every nook and cranny of
the ancient city (above and below ground) as well as the
faces and rap sheets of most of the town’s crooks. Filkins
assists Pendrake frequently on his Corvis-based romps,
and provides other services as he is able.
