==Important People==
'''Alarota (He/Him?):''' The founder and presumed leader of Icarus. Doesn't leave the group's headquarters, if he's even still alive. Witnesses consistently describe him as a thin, Latino, human male with dark brown skin and long, greying, black hair. Presumed to be awakened due to the deeds ascribed to him, though separating truth from urban legend is difficult.

'''Dr. Hajera Sultana (She/Her):''' A humanitarian street doc in Ashbarrow, and an open member of the Anarchist Black Crescent (essentially a decentralized, anarchist version of Doctors Without Borders). Dr. Sultana runs the only medical clinic in Ashbarrow worthy of the name, treating those most in need for free.

'''Duane Petrowski (He/Him):''' Patriarch of the Petrowski family, whose farming complex in Puyallup district has defied volcanos, economic collapses, and hordes of go-gangers. Employment on Petrowski's farm is one of the few legitimate paying jobs available to inhabitants of the Puyallup barrens, but his family isn't a charity - they sell their crop for profit.

'''Kenneth Brackhaven (He/Him):''' Governor of Seattle Territory, Brackhaven is a member of the Archconservative Party. Brackhaven's policy focus seems to be advancing his barely veiled human (and white) supremacist agenda. Pounding the old "law and order" canard, many fear Brackhaven will repeat the bad old days of the late 30s under Governor Allison. Brackhaven's economic platform is blatantly pro-corp, with tax cuts and "business friendly" policies exchanged for the assistance of corporate security in the "war on crime."

'''Lon Campa (He/Him):''' Mayor of Puyallup district, and the city's only orcish mayor. Mayor Campa gets his strongest support from Carbonado, but works hard for all inhabitants of the district. Lon is also the first Puyallup mayor in years who isn't a puppet for organized crime, possibly explaining the two attempts on his life since he was elected.

'''Tylr Mikell (They/Them):''' Owner of the Working Class restaurant in "The Weeds" between Puyallup City and Ashbarrow. A democratic socialist, Tylr alternatively cooperates or clashes with the more anarchist elements in the Ashbarrow, while developing strong connections with mainstream center-left Seattle politicians and worker's unions. Their strained relationship with "Crazy Ivan" is renowned in Ashbarrow and the subject of much idle speculation.

'''Vök Rútsson (She/Her):''' Local head of the Rútsson family, who operate the unauthorized Landsblood Artery power plant in Hell's Kitchen. Vök handles the business and community side of the Artery's operations, leaving engineering and maintenance to her sister Voney, Voney's husband August Kresinger, and their employees. Widely believed to have connections to the Stonecutter's Guild.
