Tyche's Favourites/Philipos Retinue
Eumenes of Athens - An exile who spent most of the last two decades serving Antigonous, he is a learned and cultured man. As an aristocrat he strives to be a gentleman and maintain a decorous and proper bearing. In keeping with the oldest tradition of the cradle of Hellas, he is also a fearsome warrior who dedicates a great deal of time to keeping his skills honed. He stands on Philipos' right in the battle line.

Deon of Miletos - Bastard son of a Milesian aristocrat with one of his house slaves, Deon was raised with his half-brothers and freed when they went off to fight in the many wars raging across Asia Minor. He survived the campaiging, they did not, and unable to face going home to Miletus chose to sell his services instead.

While nominally the quartermaster for the retinue, he also turns his hand to spymaster, fence, interrogator and schemer-in-chief.
