==The Jack (aka Old Scratch)==
'''Domain:''' Deals | '''District:''' The Bizarre Bazaar

'''<u>Details</u>'''

The Jack manifests as a lean, well dressed man with yellow eyes and a perpetual grin framed within a neat goatee. This manifestation is constant whether he appears in the City Slumbering or the City Beneath.

Jack's Lieutenants are the Devi, and the Raggle Taggle are his Soldiers and Spies (see Lesser Nightmares below). 

Jack is not the most imposing of Nightmares, but his webwork of deals means he has more real power than most.

==The Blood Queen==
'''Domain:''' Hunger | '''District:''' Paradox Square

'''<u>Details</u>'''

Known as the Nightmare other Nightmares fear, the Blood Queen is the self-proclaimed ruler of the City Beneath. She never leaves the City Beneath and always manifests as a blood-soaked little girl.

==The Lady==
'''Domain:''' Death | '''District:''' The Tower of the Moon

'''<u>Details</u>'''

Appearing as a young woman with blonde hair and ink-black eyes in a black dress or business suit in the City Slumbering, it is said strange stars can be seen twinkling in her eyes and clothes. She always has a brace of curved bone daggers on her person. Both blades are stained a deep red along their edges.

She has never been seen in the City Beneath, but her presence is always felt.

The Lady has no Lieutenant, and the Willow Women are her only Soldiers (see Lesser Nightmares below).

==Baron Samedi==
'''Domain:''' Debauchery | '''District:''' The Narrows

'''<u>Details</u>'''

Baron Samedi manifests as a drunk or gambler or conman in the City Slumbering and always bears the mark of a skull somewhere, be it tattoo or jewelry or print.

In the City Beneath, he is a tall, bald black man in a top hat and an ill-fitting, oversmall black tuxedo with tails and no shirt. He wears the visage of a bone-white skull painted across his face.

The Hound Master is his Lieutenant, and the Black Dogs are his Soldiers (see Lesser Nightmares below).

==The Wretched==
'''Domain:''' Darkness | '''District:''' The Catacombs

'''<u>Details</u>'''

The Wretched is a towering gnarled Nightmare who might be encountered as a hideous, pale troll-like hag or slithering through her catacombs like some great pale serpent or ancient withered vine.

In the City Slumbering, she invariably chooses the form of a plump old schoolmarm with coke-bottle glasses and breath that might smell either of  candy or rot.

Her Lieutenants, if she has any, are never seen, but her Inklings are vicious Soldiers, and they are Legion (see Lesser Nightmares below).

==The Raj==
'''Domain:''' Isolation | '''District:''' Silent House

'''<u>Details</u>'''

In the City Slumbering the Raj appears as a slight Indonesian man dressed in simple black garments and conical bamboo douli. He never wears shoes and has six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot.

In the City Beneath he manifests as an immensely fat blue man of considerable height and girth with three legs and three arms and a purple tentacle-like tongue as long as he is tall. The Rakshasa are his Lieutenants, the Barber is his Sergeant at Arms, and the Urchins are his Soldiers (see Lesser Nightmares below).

==Mother Dragon==
'''Domain:''' Corruption | '''District:''' The Labyrinth

'''<u>Details</u>'''

Mother Dragon manifests as a great wingless dragon with glistening scales, flowing whiskers and horns, and deep red ridges along her spine. No one can agree on the  number  of her limbs and claws.

In the City Slumbering she manifests as a regular  Mortal, but never wears the same form or visage twice.

The Rag Dolls act as her Lieutenants and Soldiers (see Lesser Nightmares below).

==The Lingering==
'''Domain:''' Disease | '''District:''' Rattown Wharf

'''<u>Details</u>'''

The Lingering manifests as a gaunt towering figure wrapped in dingey shrouds of yellowed cloth. His skin is sallow and shrunken, blotched liberally with black spots.

In the City Slumbering, he always appears as a Mortal suffering from some kind of sickness or deformity.

The Catspaw are his Lieutenants, the Plague Rats his Soldiers, and the Barnacle Boys his spies (see Lesser Nightmares below).

==The Raven==
'''Domain:''' Risk | '''District:''' The Rooftop Jungle

The Raven appears as a bird of the same name in both realms. It has no Lieutenants, but the Night Callers act as its Soldiers and Spies (see Lesser Nightmares below).

[[Savage_Reflections#Character_Files.2FMeta_Currencies|< < < Back to Main Page]]

==The Keeper of the  Ways==
'''Domain:''' Transcendence | '''District:''' The Canals

'''<u>Details</u>'''

The Keeper appears as a slim, uptight balding man in a too-small suit in the City Slumbering, but in the City Beneath, he is a freakishly tall skeleton clad in sweeping pale grey robes with gold coins for eyes, and
he is almost always encountered on a pale grey gondola, pushing along the canals with a long ash pole.

In both realms he is rumored to wear a red and blue ''steal-your-face'' t-shirt beneath his garments.

The Keeper has no Lieutenants, Soldiers, or Spies.
