An old retired Varian Captain with a shady past, Gordon is now the owner and operator of the Cove Rock Tavern and Inn, fine dining and accomodation for the most discerning of tastes.  Apparently, he helped Ronaldo out in the past, and feels that Ronaldo owes him a favor.  Gordon is torn between his lingering loyalties to the Varian Confederation and his own natural friendship toward the Freebooters of Cove Rock.

=== Hestin Anvilsound ===

Scion of the Anvilsound clan, and heir apparent to the throne of the Anvilsound Forgeship, this young dwarf has had his studies at the Institute cut short.  Word of a sickness in the family has forced him to seek out his missing Forgeship and reunite with his clanmates.  Unfortunately, it seems, things are not working out well for Hestin.

=== Mr. Christian ===

With some training in navigation and piloting (Arcana), Mr. Christian is the natural choice for "Officer" among the NPC crewmembers of the Relentless.  However, his personal competency is likely not up to the dangerous situations in which he'll find himself aboard a Freebooter vessel.

=== The Banshrae ===

Mysterious and inhuman fey who travel the Astral Sea.  They are known for their cruel inhuman curiosity, their industrious magical craftsmanship, and their alien mindset.  The Banshrae first encountered the Freebooters aboard the Anvilsound Forgeship, in the Astral Sea near Earth.

=== Cultists ===
