===The Dune Reapers===
 
These gladiators are clearly somewhat more battle-hardened than the other teams.
 
 
'''Zhack:''' A dwarven warrior and the apparent leader of the team. He seems to favor a mix of brawling and close-combat weapons.
 
 
'''Sand''' A half-elf. Keeps mostly to himself when not training but seems friendly with Zhack. Average fighter with no particular style.
 
 
'''Semah''' An extremely talkative human. He especially seems to enjoy chatting with non-gladiators such as Enjay and the slaves that bring food and water. He's even had several conversations with soldiers through the pen door, sharing some of his food with them. Doesn't seem to be much of a fighter.
 
 
'''Megara''' A rare female Mul. She seems to have been muted judging by her silence and the heavy scarring on her throat. She and Zhack are clearly the most skilled fighters and spar often and intensely. She prefers flexible rope weapons, especially cahaluks.
 
 
'''Brax''' A half-giant. He is extremely slow in both word and action but seems to have a talent for anticipating his teammate's needs and will often start to do something before he is asked. Uses the biggest, heaviest blunt instrument available in training.
 
 
===The Jhakar===
 
Like the Dune Reapers they are a mixed team but are mostly human. They don't seem very sociable and barely get along with each other, let alone the other gladiators.
 
 
'''Simbala''' An elven warrior. He's a decent hand with a blade and seems to take the lead whenever possible...however he often squabbles with his other team members, especially Apo and Romb.
 
 
'''Apo''' The rarest of sights: an obese gladiator. Apo is a huge human whose hefty muscles are concealed under a layer of flab. He'll often ask for (or steal) food left unattended by both his teammates and the other gladiators. Only the fact that food is so plentiful has prevented a serious incident.
 
 
'''Diaza''' Diaza is a shifty looking human who uses small, light weapons like singing sticks. He's also an exceptionally dirty fighter whose "low blows" have nearly crippled some of his sparring partners, even during training.
 
 
'''Romb''' Also human, Romb seems to dislike close combat but has exceptional accuracy. After a particular vicious fight with Simbala Romb had to be whipped by the guards for apparently stealing and sharpening several large wooden splinters which he managed to weight with rocks and use as crude throwing weapons...a few inches to the left and the shard would have been in the elf's throat.
 
 
'''Gerakis''' The only member of the team who actually seems fairly friendly. Gerakis has a child-like attitude (complete with a child's enthusiasm for violence) and immense strength. Despite his size he is often bullied by the other Jhakar members and seems to be quite miserable when the rest of his team fights among themselves.
 
 
===The Boneclaws===
 
This team was clearly put together as an "exotic" attraction for the audience, consisting entirely of species not normally welcome in civilized lands. Most of them fight without weapons.
 
 
'''Ti-Zan-Din''' A thri-kreen hunter. She seems to be the dominant member of the team, although the team seems to operate fairly independent of one another (likely due to their limited shared language skills).
 
 
'''Kariss''' A member of the Silt Runners, a diminutive species of lizardfolk. Although small he is incredibly fast, no surprise as Silt Runners are said to be able to dash across the surface of the silt sea without sinking. He quite clearly, and actively dislikes anyone of elven blood and will growl and snap at Sand, Li'Kabo and Simbala if they come near.
 
 
'''Pala and Zeera''' It's unclear if these two gith are companions, mates or family. Rather than their race's traditional spears they seem to favor twin wrist razors.
 
 
'''Tikki''' Slender and lacking in both ferocity and skill, this tari does not seem to be a very promising gladiator. Despite this the rest of his team seems highly protective of him and you often see several of them speaking together quietly.
 
 
===Other NPCs===
 
 
'''The Trustee''': Named Jhay, the trustee is technically also a slave but his seniority and service have granted him the authority to lead the gladiators in this pen. He is permitted to carry a sword and seems to speak his mind more freely and openly than most guards or free servants dare to. He is missing an arm and rarely takes any active role in training but you have no doubt he is quite skilled...surving to old age as a gladiator demands nothing else.
 
 
'''Enjay''' A healer and masseuse for the pens. She apparently lived here before the skilled slaves were moved to other quaters to make room for Tectuktitlay's gladiators.
