Leaders

Qi'ra

Qi'ra is a beautiful and sophisticated woman with a gentle demeanor; to loyal subordinates and allies the appearance is real enough, but those who take it for weakness quickly discover that her apparent gentleness hides an underlying amoral ruthlessness. More than one would-be usurper has paid with their lives after letting their guard down at a crucial moment.

Talon Karrde

Talon Karrde is an honorable man, and an essentially honest one as well, if cagey and closed-mouthed. He builds loyalty by demonstrating it in turn, and is always willing to at least listen when someone claims extenuating circumstances for a failure or infraction. Not given to caprice or cruelty, he is nevertheless capable of ruthlessness when crossed or threatened.
