Brandon Frey. A scout and forester, formerly in the service of the Count of Kirke.

Dale. A tall, blond-haired son of a blacksmith, Dale was a boyhood friend of St. James' from Mattin.

Dirk was at Derwich when the rucks invaded, but was able to escape the slaughter there. He later fought alongside the Derwich rebels against Busirane and Nestor.

Purer was a former man-at-arms from Brehon, a small village near Canglen. Purer was a most blessed man, able to work miracles through the intercessions of his patron, St. Iseltis, "the Little Abbess of Clowes." He was an adept brewer of potions.

"To hell with this!" snarls Renton. "Let's cut this b---- up!"

Renton McAllister. A young lad, tall and well built with fine black hair. A large dark birthmark cruelly marred the left side of his face. He wore armor and a carried a shield, both made of red leather scales; he also wore a battered iron helmet, conical with cheek guards and round eye slits, that enclosed most of his face. Despite his youth, Renton handled himself coolly and carried a serjeant's longsword, along with a hunting bow. Renton hated rucks and was a former member of Heremac's militia.

Shakerly. A hugely muscled, savage figure who was friend to Valerius, St. James, and Hamral. Infamous in Heremac for his wild nature and having killed a man with his bare hands. Shakerly was said to have been raised by ruck-men until being rescued by Seekers. He was believed to be a half-ogre; killed 13 Firstblome *907 by 'Duke' Larry. Adventures: A New Hope, Blind Man's Bluff, The Price of Doing Business, Kidnapped, Willoghby Copse, Hello, Larry.

Friar Sidrach Landry. A charming fellow, Friar Sidrach was gentle, inquisitive, and very talkative. He was a member of the Gerardian Order, a group of mendicants also known as Black Friars for the color of their robes. Friar Sidrach was very wise but had had little formal education. He enjoyed gaming and drinking his Blackbelly stout. Friar Sidrach was an excellent public speaker with a genuine concern for the common folk; he relished wandering the countryside. His faith in the Five was very strong, and the friar performed several notable miracles. The friar was also a good tailor and on occasion fashioned warm winter clothing for his comrades. As he gave almost all of his money to the Gerardian order, Friar Sidrach rarely had any coin of his own. Later in his career he took a keen interest in the fate of converted ruck-men. The bare-footed friar died in the Ruckish Hills battling the magician Hecatesseus.

Sir Will Garnfellow, the Lion of Upchurch. A knight of immense proportions, Sir Will Garnfellow was known to frequent the Bristling Boar Inn in Heremac. He had a blond beard and mustache, and wore fine livery. A lusty fellow, his appetite for food, ale, draughts, women, and story was nearly insatiable. Formerly, Garnfellow served as a household knight for the Baron of Bellenore, but fell into disfavor there and subsequently took up a vagabond life. Garnfellow wielded the sword Welsung; his shield bore the image of three rampant lions on an azure field; his battered old war-horse was named Justicar. Garnfellow played the viol and was often accompanied by the old veteran Nym and the young lad Bardolph. Garnfellow was slain while defending Upchurch from invading Cataphracts led by Hecatesseus.

Wyk. A good friend and associate of Ruik's, from the village of Bowlen. Wyk came to Heremac after his family's farm was burned by vengeful ruck-men, and he remained fiercely protective of his parents and his sister. Noticeably on the short side, Wyk was a wiry young man with unruly blond hair and a short, scruffy beard and mustache. His nose was slightly twisted and very scarred. He was missing his top middle-left tooth and a bottom left tooth, third from the middle. Wyk was a hard-drinking, plain-speaking man accustomed to settling differences with his fists. Wyk was killed in the Geaunt's Tower, crushed beneath falling debris.
