Xia is a young woman, out on her Journey--a tradition among her people, a time to wander the world and return with stories and wisdom. Xia intends to return with stories of how she won glory by facing great challenges without flinching away in fear.

Aleena was one who welcomed her to this area. While Xia found Aleena's talk of gods somewhat silly, they became friends. She liked to listen to Aleena, and she appreciated that the cleric made her feel respected. She has sworn that Bargle will pay for his crime.

Motivation: Threshhold's a big town and there's room for more than one kind of thief, but there's no room for a man who won't follow the Brotherhood's rules, and one of the most important rules is "Don't bother the Gods". When Bargle killed Aleena, it brought down the Watch on every thief in Threshhold, and Pox's own brother got clapped in irons. Moreover, Shifter, the secret god of thieves, made it known that this deed displeased Him, and that he would withhold his blessing from every heist and burglary in the city until this crime was avenged. Hence, Pox was deputized to help take Bargle down. If he succeeds, he gets his brother back and the Shifty Brotherhood will accept him as a full initiate. If he doesn't, best stay in the dungeon.

Castor was a mighty warrior in his younger days. He is old now, working as a stable hand, a job he feels is demeaning. He has contracted a wasting disease that robs him of a little of his strength every day, and he has decided that he will put on his armor and take up his axe one last time, and hopefully end his life with the honor and glory of a soldier rather than in humiliation as a sick, feeble old man. He is going out to die.

(He hasn't fought in over a decade, which is why he has the abilities of a Level 1 Fighter-he's more than a bit rusty)
