Festus is the head of the Burgoine family crime syndacate. He is well received by the local population and is not a wanted man. Even the nobility respects Festus as a necessary evil. Festus does not accrue wealth but instead spends all of his money on good will in the city, earning him a sizable reputation.
Tommy is Festus' son and is a notable petty criminal and pimp. His main thugs are no longer with him. Iggy was killed and Sid was forced to flee the city. Rita, his favorite girl, was recently killed by Jimmy to get at him. All Tommy has left is Cherry and his father. Tommy is known to use the redroof inn as one of his safe houses.
Jimmy's boys are known to wear masks of carious kinds when they are out and about. This helps keeps them unidentifiable and in business with their anonymity. One never knows who they are dealing with when they speak to one of Jimmy's boys, it might even be Jimmy, which is why it's always so hard to find him. Some of them have been known to be supremely dangerous, able to ambush even Fotolio.
Mudjik is a crippled hobgoblin slave, his left arm is deformed, his back is slightly hunched and he's perpetually nasally congested. He serves loyally to Festus but is Lady Vissendor's slave by right and runs the front end of the Spirit of Tormauz.
Daryl is the owner/operator of the red roof inn. He mostly stays out of his customers personal business and ironically works as a member of the volunteer militia but hates "the law". He also clings to a sense of duty and honor and a strong sense of individuality.
Lita is Daryl's wife and primary shop keeper, she has started learning to speak elven being that they have more elven clients lately so a good exercise to keep her mind busy.
Sprinkle was befriended by Corra out of desperation, she wanted to leave the city but got involved in the cloak and dagger affairs of the party which got her killed accidentally by Jhya and buried in a grove outside the city.
Madame Ophelia Bluew is the no nonsense madame of the House of Joy. She takes in girls and gives them opportunities but she is very shrewd and has a habit of maneuvering herself so that anyone who crosses her will be at disadvantage.
Rita Ray was one of Tommy Burgoine's whores, most notably his prettiest. Like all of Billy's girls she had a drug problem, but that all ended when Jimmy Burgoine captured her and Cherry Blossom. Cherry was roughed up, but Rita didn't make it out with her life. Her death was tragic to Billy and Cherry. Cherry went on an expensive drug bender and Tommy became depressed. Rita's death resonated a lot with the local working girls and made them even more afraid of Jimmy.
Cherry is an old friend of Jhya's, but more of a burden than anything. She's an addict and shameless prostitute of Tommy's. She very much has all kinds of issues and is considered to be a dreg of society.
Burgomaster is the spot that more or less means the mayor, but is clearly not a senate member. He collects the taxes, and is crooked as hell and is in everyone's pocket and vice versa, though he's not as eccentric as Bismuthe as the man has a severe dependency on narcotic beverages and is also slightly crazy suffering from rare psychotic/schizophrenic breaks from reality due to drug induced psychosis. All of the counts pay him and he gives his earnings to the treasurer.
Leandra is best known as the wife of Jebb. She's very protective of him and uses her healing magics to keep him alive, hopefully long enough to effect positive change in the country he loves. Leandra is notable for having a nasty confrontation with Corra and really really dislikes her.
Brok Durgen Served at Eagle Peak fifteen years ago and aided in the last efforts against the orc invaders before they regrouped as the new Horde.

Soldiers are part of the regular army, they are commonly known to carry shortswords or spears, wear chain and sometimes have bucklers. They are funded directly by the church though some are loyal to Festus. They wear the capital colors of black and red when in uniform and bear the mark of the phoenix.
I am a Tormauz militia volunteer, I do this for no pay because I love my country. I generally wear my street clothes, so most of us wear brown, but we do always bear the mark of the phoenix to denote ourselves as deputies. We aren't officials with any real power, but we are considered a very highly powered neighborhood watch. We are led by the two margraves, one for inside the city, the other for outside the city.
I met Daeron and Invictus while fleeing the military, I was being chased by them presumably because my husband is coming after me. I was very angry at Invictus when he turned down my proposition.
