Farraday Lawson
Half-Drow, CEO of Gladitorial Grand Slam
Farraday Lawson is the CEO and founder of the Gladitorial Grand Slam. He is Blake's boss and secretly the inspiration for Blake's "Rake" character. But while "Blake the Rake" is a fun and entertaining character, there is nothing funny about Farraday Lawson. His fellow aristocrats refer to him as "New Money" behind his back, but as a warning to each other more than an insult to his lineage. Farraday is the dangerous kind of "New Money." Nobody knows how he acquired his fortune, but everybody knows how that kind of ambiguity is bought: With threats, bribes, and violence. It was Farraday's idea to form a gladiatorial league with fake matches. Not because of any humanitarian concerns, but because it was cheaper and easier to make the same handful of gladiators fight over and over again rather than hiring new ones every time somebody was killed.
Darien Oakheart
Wood Elf, Champion of Wiltspar
Darien Oakheart is the older brother of Platinum Talon Nohki and an individual known for his bravery and sense of adventure. He is always willing to leap into battle or venture into dangerous ruins to rescue those in need, even at great personal cost. As a powerful druid and proficient combatant, he wields a quarterstaff and magic with strength and resolve. Darien's left hand and arm are wooden, remnants from when he was placed inside a Wiltspar Sapling by his mother to save them from harm during an attack on their village. He is driven by the motivation to protect others, particularly his brother Nohki, and his bravery and role as Champion makes him a revered figure among the Wiltspar community.
Junior Officer (aka BOJO) (Deceased)
Aasimar, Barracks Officer at Wiltspar
Barracks Officer Junior Officer, previously Deputy Officer Junior Officer before the Platinum Talons recruited him to run that Barracks at the Wiltspar, is a seasoned law enforcer with a strong and professional demeanor. He has traveled the world, assisting towns in need. Recently, he played a crucial role in aiding the Platinum Talons in their quest to remove the Darkness from Boymin. With a rapier at his side and a duty-bound approach, BOJO carefully assesses situations, preferring to understand before drawing conclusions.
BOJO was hit and lethally infected with poison from the Poison Veil during an airship attack on the poison led by the Order of Rightous Conflict and General Harvestman. He died after experiencing a moment of great love and happiness through the engagement party thrown for him and his almost-fiance Hildar by the Platinum Talons in Brimhold.
Chieftain Ouglana
Orc, Leader of Gragthar
Chieftain Ouglana is a fierce and imposing figure, with skin the color of rich emeralds and long, sharp fangs that protrude from her lower jaw. Her muscular frame is clad in furs and leathers that speak of her people's rugged lifestyle, and she wields a massive staff that seems to hum with energy. Her deep, accented voice rumbles like thunder, leaving no doubt as to her authority and power. As an orc from the great region of Gragthar, Chieftain Ouglana is stoic and determined. Her exceptional skills with the staff make her a highly competent warrior, and she is wary and suspicious of strangers, taking time to evaluate their intentions and potential threat to her people. Her fierce protection of her people and unwavering determination make her a nearly unstoppable force on the world stage.
Hildar OuTakk
Half-Orc, Former Gragtharian General
Hildar is a former officer in the Gragtharian Army. She is a fierce combatant and even fiercer ally. She is also known by her stage name "Veyla the Impaler" in the Gladitorial fighting circuts, and has held multiple championship titles.
Before his demise, BOJO and Hildar dated for many years, though their responsibilities often kept them in different locations. Despite this, the two were deeply in love and had often talked about getting married and starting a family.
After losing the love of her life to the Poison Veil, Hildar sojourned to the Wiltspar to take the Barracks Officer position previously filled by her near-fiance.
Professor Pluveria
Aarakocra, Leader of the Arcane Archipelago; Headmaster of the Arcademy

Grimm Seacut
Firbolg, Veteran Soldier of the Dire Wolves

His life took a drastic turn when the War of W990 broke out, leading to his exceptional military service alongside his friend Thorn.

She appears poised and refined, with a calm and controlled voice. Lady Selkath is a white dragon in disguise, harboring a desire to maintain her power and influence, as well as protect her people from external threats. Though cool and distant at first, she assesses strangers' worth and potential motives before warming up to them. Her skills as a magic user and her prowess with the ice spear make her a formidable and competent opponent.
