===Johannes de Silentio===
He's a sadistic, exiled elf of Ulthuan and rogue agent of the Marienburg secret service.

''"Forty years ago, the Thieves' Guild of Altdorf was still young and it hadn't reached any arrangement with the city's merchant houses. There was a trio of merchants in particular who wanted the thieves utterly crushed, and they had enough money to buy the city guards' loyalty -Schneider, Wechsler and Grossmann. It was during the time of the second trade-war with Marienburg, and they had all grown rich selling arms and supplies to the Emperor's forces"''

''"I need not say that this particular story should not be added to your repertoire, storyteller. It is one of Ranald's many secrets. Anyway, after attempting negotiation and making clear and unmistakable threats, the Guild Council agreed that the three must die. They hired an outsider for it -one Johannes de Silentio, a swordsman from the Border Princes.''

''"But he didn't keep within bounds. Instead of just the three merchants, he killed their wives, their children, their servants, their dogs... he turned their homes into charnel-houses and a blasphemy before Ranald. When he returned for his money, the Council refused to pay him. He left without saying anything, but when each councillor returned home, they found everything in their homes dead with the tongues cut out"''

''"He became the subject of Altdorf's biggest manhunt -the guards, the thieves, everyone. Every night for a month, some fool claimed to have seen him in the fog at the back of some blind alley, or passing along the docks in the night -a tall slender man in a broad-brimmed hat with a scarf wrapped around his mouth, like that couldn't have been half the men in Altdorf. Eventually, the guards hanged some poor fool who looked like him and that satisfied them and the Guild put it about that they'd taken care of Silentio themselves, but Johannes de Silentio was never really caught by anyone"''

''"It shouldn't have mattered. The real Johannes de Silentio probably died of the pox in some Border Prince brothel a long time ago -his kind don't live very long. Nobody really remembers him now -I only know the story from Gallows Rolf, who kept the shrine here before me; he helped in the hunt for Silentio too. It's surprising that Wili's even heard the name. I think something vile is brewing in Altdorf"''
