NPC's

High Tortuga

• Jeremiah Storm is an information broker and "fixer" of some repute; he's very good at finding people who can solve other people's problems. Probably better to be in his good books, all things considered. If he's contacting you, then it's likely he has a job offer to make.
• Darren Breeze messenger boy for the above.
• Captain Daniel Cumulus of the Glorious Horizon and occasional visitor to the Palace of the Emperor's Pleasures. A gambling man.
• First Mate Edward Rathbone-Duane of the Glorious Horizon
• Violet Los Angeles, friend and fellow gambler of Captain Cumulus

Ships Crew

• Lily - The ship's Bursar is a teenaged albino Misbegotten with a disrespectful attitude and remarkable education.
• Frederick Kite - TBA
• The Jenkins Boys- A pair of twins no one can tell apart. They are fond of drinking and fighting, preferably simultaneously. Normally pleasant, they are pair of nasty drunks that unleash their fury at "anything capable of bipedal motion."
• Hodges- a former crew member ultimately thrown off the ship for frequently and flagrantly violating the ship's lax moral code in many imaginative ways.
• Tom - A octogenarian cabin boy with two wooden legs. Actually he lost one leg, a foot, and his sense of hearing.
