==Backstory==
+
[[File:Echo.png|right]]
−
Once the only son of a well to do distillery fanmi, Brant was groomed to negotiate and be the face of the house. The fanmi even paid many bribes to various aelfir lords in the hopes that he would be hired as an assistant for a winery.  
 
  
−
Fate is a cruel mistress as he was instead drafted into the guard. The reverse in his fortunes led him to drink and ruin like many of his fellows. Often raiding the family storehouse for alcohol with them.
 
  
−
At the end of his Durance Brant's fanmi ritually cast him out due to his bad behavior. Having nowhere else to turn the drow took up with some of his old drinking buddies at the Wolf and Hound becoming Knights.

Lately the veteran has been seeking redemption by joining the Ministry.

==Abilities==
+
'''Surprise Infiltration'''
 +
* Nothing can keep you out. Once per session, insert yourself into a situation where you are not currently present, so long as there's some conceivable way you could get in there.
  
−
'''Pubcrawler'''
+
'''Bound Blade'''
−
* You bear an encyclopedic knowledge of where to get drunk. Once per game, name a nearby bar, pub or inn where you know the landlord (whether they like you or not is up to the GM).
+
* You have captured the god Melkith and forced it into your blade. As a Bound, you gain a god-axe blade when you join the order, and bind a small god inside it with a bloody and dark ritual. The weapon has the Bound tag, and as such you can use your class abilities through it. You cannot use your abilities through another weapon, but if your Bound weapon is lost or destroyed, you can create a new one with a night-long, exhausting rite held back in Perch.  
  
−
'''Pick a Fight'''
+
'''The Secret of Second Skin'''
−
* You’ve spent many an evening sizing up the other patrons in search of a decent brawl. Once per situation, ask the GM who is the best person in the surrounding area to pick a fight with on one of the following conditions: 1) you want to win 2) you want to make a good impression 3) you want to cause a distraction.
+
* [Divine] Rimsham, the god in your armour, watches out for you. Once per situation, when you are attacked by an enemy and the GM would roll to inflict stress, you take 1 stress instead.  
  
−
'''Law of the Docks'''
+
'''The Secret of the Crowd'''
−
* You carry a mighty weapon. As a Knight, you are permitted to carry a large bladed weapon (or a lance) without getting in trouble with the city guard. Using it is another matter.
+
* [Divine] With a little help from Trish, you can hide in plain sight, so long as there are others around. +1 Shadow. When you wear your mask and stand in a crowd, you will blend into the background (though not become invisible) unless you do something out of the ordinary to attract attention.

'''Ricktor''' (individual) | Stress: 0
+
'''Ponder''' (individual) | Stress: 0
−
* A young man from a surprisingly well to do docks family. Ricktor was raised with the belief that everyone must leave the Spire a better place. His idealism is slowly infecting his master Brant.
+
* Small-time but not small, Ponder is a thief and fixer. He grew-up in Perch with Echo, but slipped into Redrow as he let his weight slip and his height grow. A vigilante associating with a criminal is a betrayal of Echo's principles, but their friendship (and his distance from Perch) lets her to turn a blind eye...with the excuse that he helps her take down 'real' criminals.
