[sblock="Darian Rose"]
[/sblock]
Appearance: Darian Rose is tall and slender, and looks several years older than he actually is. He is always formally dressed, complete with a cloak and a top hat. He has a full moustache and goatee that comes to a point several inches below his chin. He has a deep voice and always speaks slowly, with careful attention to articulation, earning him a very powerful presense. Most people would assume him the leader of whatever group he may be with, whether or not that may actually be the case. Under his clothes, Darian's upper body is covered in small circular scars.
Background: Darian was raised like any other normal child. With his mother's gentle understanding and his father's hard hand, he grew to be a man with strong moral and social values, and a deep respect for the law. That respect lead him to his position with the constabulary where he quickly gained a reputation of obtaining information from otherwise unobtainable sources. He has no personal scores to settle with anyone, although there are many who may have a score to settle with Darian.
Over the years Darian has developed some sadistic tendancies when interrogating would-be criminals. Interrogated individuals often find themselves the bearer of a rose shaped impression caused by Darian's signet ring. Other's may find themselves on the business end of Darian's whip, which he primarily saves for those who try to run from him.
He finds himself at a moral crossroads, as the pleasure he derives from the torture he inflicts upon others strictly contradicts his upbringing and personal beliefs. He spends his time alone atoning for his actions by burning himself on his bare chest with the cheap cigars he is wont to smoke. He believes the pain will purge the wrongdoings from his body and soul.

Skills: Hide +2, Listen +3, Move Silently +3, Spot +3, Survival +1*
Feats: Track, Weapon Focus (bite)
Trip (Ex): A wolf that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip the opponent (+1 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the wolf.
Skills: *Wolves have a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.[/sblock][sblock=Appearance]Perrin has an air of someone who cares a great deal about appearance, but in truth doesn't have that much to work with. Short dark hair sits above eyes that betray his youth. He takes great pains to ensure that he looks his best, clean shaven, hair smart and ready for the day. He is slim and while he would never be called handsome, except perhaps when describing himself, is not unattractive. Typically he likes to wear a light brown leather jerkin, open revealing the chain shirt underneath. He has a huge smile, which always makes an appearance when people play to his ego.[/sblock][sblock=Background]Fighting the good fight, defend the people, patrol the city and make sure all is well. Perrin was a hero of the people making sure that they could sleep soundly at night and know there children were at least reasonably safe out in the day. It was what he'd always wanted, respect and due reward, rising in favour with senior figures in both the church and the city.
Women liked one of Paridon's guards and Perrin liked Paridon's women. He'd had several girlfriends over time, but somehow it never lasted. Perrin liked to tell himself this was because he got bored with them, but secretly he knew this wasn't always the case. When people got to close, saw through the heroic facade he took such pains over, that's when they left.
He'd gotten to know the city well in the past year working with the guard; it had taught him a lot of skills. Some guards fought and did it well, dealing with troublemakers, or worse, in Paridon. Perrin could handle himself in a fight, but they weren't the skills he valued. He'd learnt people. He could read people's faces, knew where to go and who to see to find out information, knew how to talk people around. He was streetsmart, and he loved it.
Of course, there were downsides. His job scared him; every time he got into a new fight he was scared he wouldn't survive it. . Swords, terrified him, he didn't want people swinging weapons at him! He was terrified of getting cut, scars could ruin his appearance. And a fight was just a normal day on the streets. Perrin made sure he put a brave face on it, it wouldn't do to let others know how scared he was, but when he collapsed on his bed at night, Perrin thanked the gods that he was still alive. Of course, he'd learnt to handle it; learnt to cut enemies down, hitting hard and hit fast with his axes, but knowing how to fight and wanting to actually do it were quite different.
He often thought of giving it all up, leading the quiet life running an inn, but people looked up to him, even paid attention to him, in this role. He couldn't have that stop.[/sblock]

Ru Brike, barbaric monk
[sblock=Level Log]Level 5 (Monk 4)
BAB +1
All saves +1
Class ability: Ki Strike (magic)
Class ability: Slow fall 20 ft.
Unarmed Damage 1d8+3
Stunning fist 4/day
+6 HP (3/4 1d8)
6 skill points (4+Int+human) (2 Tumble, 1 Jump, Spot, Listen, Balance)[/sblock]
Appearance: Perhaps to distance himself from his childhood in squallor, Ru's grooming is notably exact. His hair is cropped close and even. He's fostered a close-trimmed goatee, as well. Despite the tailoring difficulty his size and width of shoulder provide, he's made sure his clothes all fit him well, a fact that tends to show off the wealth of muscle he sports.
[sblock=Background]Ru Brike just wants to make his life better. His family squatted in a condemned tenement, picked through garbage for dinner, scampered away from the corrupt city guard they couldn't afford to pay "taxes" to. So when Ari Turbul saw the potential bruiser Ru could be and offered him a place in his gang, Ru jumped at the chance.
Protection money paid for a legal--if small--apartment for Ru's family. Daily trawls of the marketplace fed them all well. Ru especially thrived once he had some real nutrition, his broad shoulders filling out, muscle and mass and a growth spurt making him look a man when he was still just a boy. This was defintely better.
Ru took Ari's orders. His hearty laugh charmed those he was meant to protect, his powerful muscles hurt those who threatened him or his new allies. Ari greased the right palms, and everyone got what they wanted. Ari's gang became entrenched and established, and Ru was one of his favorite bruisers, usually reserved for when people really needed to ... learn a lesson. The last thing a person wanted to hear was that Ru was on his way.
That is, until Teram Gis showed up.
Everyone thought Gis was just another cowering merchant. A few well placed threats, maybe a broken table or two, and he'd fall in line and pay up like everyone else. However, The only thing that seemed to be breaking was Ari's messengers, sent back with one limb or another shattered and no protection payments.
Ari didn't take it well at all. He'd have no wiry little fishmonger making him look a fool. He sent Ru to tear the place apart and offer his special brand of incentive. Ru never relished doling out punishment, but he was good at it, and Ari was good to his family, so he went.
Gis was half Ru's size, scrawny and unimpressive to look at. He also blocked every blow Ru threw at him. Again and again, turning Ru's building rage aside without breaking a sweat. As he fought, Ru saw something in the man's eyes. Power, certainly, but something else. A clarity, a focus that channeled that power, that told Ru he would never best this man despite his own raw strength.
Ru couldn't explain why he stopped. He knew what kind of consequences there would be. Still, he had to. He halted his blows, took a step back, and bowed to his better.
Gis returned the bow, saying, "You are the first with the wisdom to yield. It is a gift your cohorts lack. One you will never hone in their company."
Ru cocked his head and smiled. "But you could teach me."
Gis returned the smile. "Wise again."
Gis, it turned out, was a member of Paridon's Investigators, sent undercover to break Ari's hold on his section of town. The two struck a bargain. Ru would help give Gis the information he needed to unravel Ari's tight-knit "family." Gis, in turn, secured amnesty for Ru. He's been teaching Ru the discipline he lacked, focusing his power and speed. And recently, Ru proved himself well enough that he's gained a position in the Investigator unit, himself. He uses his keen senses to help solve crime. And keep an eye out for any retribution the remnants of Ari's cadre may have planned.[/sblock]

Appearance: Perhaps to distance himself from his childhood in squallor, Ru's grooming is notably exact. His hair is cropped close and even. He's fostered a close-trimmed goatee, as well. Despite the tailoring difficulty his size and width of shoulder provide, he's made sure his clothes all fit him well, a fact that tends to show off the wealth of muscle he sports.
[sblock=Background]Ru Brike just wants to make his life better. His family squatted in a condemned tenement, picked through garbage for dinner, scampered away from the corrupt city guard they couldn't afford to pay "taxes" to. So when Ari Turbul saw the potential bruiser Ru could be and offered him a place in his gang, Ru jumped at the chance.
Protection money paid for a legal--if small--apartment for Ru's family. Daily trawls of the marketplace fed them all well. Ru especially thrived once he had some real nutrition, his broad shoulders filling out, muscle and mass and a growth spurt making him look a man when he was still just a boy. This was defintely better.
Ru took Ari's orders. His hearty laugh charmed those he was meant to protect, his powerful muscles hurt those who threatened him or his new allies. Ari greased the right palms, and everyone got what they wanted. Ari's gang became entrenched and established, and Ru was one of his favorite bruisers, usually reserved for when people really needed to ... learn a lesson. The last thing a person wanted to hear was that Ru was on his way.
That is, until Teram Gis showed up.
Everyone thought Gis was just another cowering merchant. A few well placed threats, maybe a broken table or two, and he'd fall in line and pay up like everyone else. However, The only thing that seemed to be breaking was Ari's messengers, sent back with one limb or another shattered and no protection payments.
Ari didn't take it well at all. He'd have no wiry little fishmonger making him look a fool. He sent Ru to tear the place apart and offer his special brand of incentive. Ru never relished doling out punishment, but he was good at it, and Ari was good to his family, so he went.
Gis was half Ru's size, scrawny and unimpressive to look at. He also blocked every blow Ru threw at him. Again and again, turning Ru's building rage aside without breaking a sweat. As he fought, Ru saw something in the man's eyes. Power, certainly, but something else. A clarity, a focus that channeled that power, that told Ru he would never best this man despite his own raw strength.
Ru couldn't explain why he stopped. He knew what kind of consequences there would be. Still, he had to. He halted his blows, took a step back, and bowed to his better.
Gis returned the bow, saying, "You are the first with the wisdom to yield. It is a gift your cohorts lack. One you will never hone in their company."
Ru cocked his head and smiled. "But you could teach me."
Gis returned the smile. "Wise again."
Gis, it turned out, was a member of Paridon's Investigators, sent undercover to break Ari's hold on his section of town. The two struck a bargain. Ru would help give Gis the information he needed to unravel Ari's tight-knit "family." Gis, in turn, secured amnesty for Ru. He's been teaching Ru the discipline he lacked, focusing his power and speed. And recently, Ru proved himself well enough that he's gained a position in the Investigator unit, himself. He uses his keen senses to help solve crime. And keep an eye out for any retribution the remnants of Ari's cadre may have planned.[/sblock]

Torhan Xarr, human paladin
Torhan Xarr is an orphan…he knows not what happened to his parents, or from whence he came. Found on the streets of Paridon at an early age, Torhan was raised as a ward of the church. His early life was not pleasant. The strict rules imposed by the church upon the children in its care made life difficult, but instilled a deep sense of discipline, duty and knowledge of right and wrong on those that chose to listen to the chuch's lessons.
As a teenager, Torhan was taken in by a military arm of the church and taught to fight. He had a natural talent for wielding a blade, and the strength of arm to be most effective. Early on, one of his superiors recognized the boy’s powerful force of personality and will, and Torhan was given specialized training to help him hone such talents. He was trained to seek out and destroy evil, and through his link with the church was able to develop special powers that increaed his efectiveness in such matters.
After fulfilling his terms of service to the church, Torhan chose to enter service in the constabulary of Paridon, hoping to make a difference and put an end to the sinful, dark ways of the city. Unfortunately, he is just one man, and the dark places of Paridon are many and numerous.
Torhan is tall and lean, with a build of wiry muscle. His skin is fair, and his face has finely chiseled features. Combined with emerald green eyes and shaggy hair of copper hue, he makes for a handsome figure. He prefers to keep clean shaven.

Description:
Brian is 30 years old, blond, has blue eyes, and is 5’9” tall.
Father Breman lacked discipline as a child, and his parents sent him to a strict religious school to try to starighten him out. He was rebellious at first, but soon found himself drawn to the idea of the Goddess that helps guide humanity. He studied for the priesthood and was pleased to find he could cast spells. He was recruited into the Order of Fate by his mentor and adopted its teachings.
He was not really an adept preacher, but the Order found plenty of other uses for him. He was assigned to be a chaplain with the city watch, and in this role he provides not only moral guidance and healing spells but also works closely with detectives on cases with a possible religious angle, such as any case involving unnatural creatures or Church personnel.
Sometimes Father Berman feels cynical about the motives of priests, including himself, seeing all actions in light of political maneuvering or personal power. But on the good days, those concerns seem foolish and he easily brushes them aside, focusing on the task at hand.
Priests of Ezra are allowed to marry, but Brian has not yet found a woman he believes he is fated to be with.
The Order of Fate:
The Order of Fate is a sect within the Church of Ezra that believes that following the laws given by Ezra will lead to a better fate than people would otherwise have, even if the way in which this would happen is unknown to humans. The world is too complicated for people to understand Ezra’s plans, but She has given instructions, and might give more in the future at an appropriate time. Therefore, it is important to follow even seemingly pointless rituals and laws.
The Order has a strict heirarchy that is not always recognized by other branches of the Church, and the laws it follows are slightly different from the orthodox Ezraites. Sometimes, it is acceptable to break laws (religious or civil) on the orders of a superior, because he presumably has a better understanding of the overall situation. It is acceptable to break a law now if it will lead to many people obeying the laws in the future.
The Order maintains a number of monastaries where strict discipline is taught; physical training is used to focus the mind, and the unarmed martial arts are a main focus. Some members of the order scourge themselves with whips to remove sins and carnal thoughts or help focus the mind. The general public is largely ignorant of the distinction between the Order and other Ezraites.

Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Black
Skin: PaleBackground: The City. It’s a harsh mistress, and an unforgiving one. Those too foolish to understand this, or too feeble to deal with it, are destined to be swallowed up – either slowly, wasting away in sluggish decay, or suddenly, in a hot, foaming rush of blood.
Unless, that is, the Watch is there. The officers of the Paridon Constabulary spend their lives battling the dark, curbing the worst excesses of the City, striking swiftly to lop off poisoned talons reaching too far into the lives of the poor, the powerless, even, at times, the innocent.
For most of them, it’s a turbulent relationship – a love-hate affair with the filthy, foul and infinitely alluring City. Many are burned up in it. Some are twisted beyond repair. The ones who survive do so for a variety of reasons. Luck, maybe. Determination. Sheer bloody-mindedness, and a refusal to be beaten.
For Hieran Abass, it’s roses.
The sheer, beautiful perfection of roses inspires him, lifts him above the grime and cruelty of the City. As long as he can remember, roses have been for him an escape, a promise, a symbol of something tantalizingly beyond reach, yet achingly close to touch. Not the physical manifestation, of course – the morphologically distinct forms of rosa multiflora, say, or rosa rugosa – but the ideal, the perfection, the shimmering, glorious idea of harmony, delicacy, fragrance, healing … life!
Few of his fellows would imagine the secret life of Abass. Apart from the rose motif that always adorns his tunic, he gives no hint of his obsession. If asked about the image, he will always reply, “It’s a symbol of my passionate and romantic nature.”
The dry, abrupt tone of voice in which this, like all his comments, is delivered, leads the questioner to laugh (but only once), or look quizzically (to which there was no response), or quietly opine to others round about that “Abass really is a bit strange.” No-one ever contradicts it.
Abass is a mystery all around. Not well liked by his comrades, he is nevertheless tolerated because he is good at what he does. His unfailing arrogance wins him no friends – but his absolute commitment to justice, and his unflagging zeal in the pursuit of it, brings him grudging respect.
Only those at the highest levels of the Department know that he is, in fact, the son of the Magus, or that his father was one of the most-decorated officers in the force.
Even those privy to these facts do not know the truth of his father’s death, and the twisted circumstances which led to it. None do, except one – and that one isn’t talking.

Author Background
I originally designed Calahan the Snake for another module “The Red Hand of Doom”. However, since that group never came to play, I now took this old model, and remade it for Ravenloft.
Character Background
Calahan, also called ‘The Snake’, is a famous trapper, and an even more famous thug. He was born to a woodworker family, and raised to become a skilled forester. During the war against Barovia shortly after the Great Upheaval, however, young Calahan saw too much cruelty an death to ever like any humans again. Scarred mentally and physically, he left the lands of his fathers and lived a few years in Barovia and Kartakass, where he made a name as a famous hunter of wolves. Lately, Calahan has tired of his common hunting grounds, and wandered through the Mists until the Dark Forces spat him out in Zherisia…

Perrin
[sblock=Appearance]Perrin has an air of someone who cares a great deal about appearance, but in truth doesn't have that much to work with. Short dark hair sits above eyes that betray his youth. He takes great pains to ensure that he looks his best, clean shaven, hair smart and ready for the day. He is of average hieght, and although slim he has an athletic build or wiry muscle; and while he would never be called handsome, except perhaps when describing himself, neither is he unattractive. Typically he likes to wear a light brown leather jerkin, open revealing the chain shirt underneath. He has a huge smile, which always makes an appearance when people play to his ego. [/sblock]
[sblock=Background]Fighting the good fight, defend the people, patrol the city and make sure all is well. Perrin was a hero of the people making sure that they could sleep soundly at night and know there children were at least reasonably safe out in the day. It was what he'd always wanted, respect and due reward, rising in favour with senior figures in both the church and the city.
Women liked one of Paridon's guards and Perrin liked Paridon's women. He'd had several girlfriends over time, but somehow it never lasted. Perrin liked to tell himself this was because he got bored with them, but secretly he knew this wasn't always the case. When people got to close, saw through the heroic facade he took such pains over, that's when they left.
He'd gotten to know the city well in the past year working with the guard; it had taught him a lot of skills. Some guards fought and did it well, dealing with troublemakers, or worse, in Paridon. Perrin could handle himself in a fight, but they weren't the skills he valued. He'd learnt people. He could read people's faces, knew where to go and who to see to find out information, knew how to talk people around. He was streetsmart, and he loved it.
Of course, there were downsides. His job scared him; every time he got into a new fight he was scared he wouldn't survive it. Swords terrified him, he didn't want people swinging weapons at him! He was terrified of getting cut, scars could ruin his appearance. And a fight was just a normal day on the streets. Perrin made sure he put a brave face on it, it wouldn't do to let others know how scared he was, but when he collapsed on his bed at night, Perrin thanked the gods that he was still alive. Of course, he'd learnt to handle it; learnt to cut enemies down, hitting hard and hit fast with his axe, but knowing how to fight and wanting to actually do it were quite different.
He often thought of giving it all up, leading the quiet life running an inn, but people looked up to him, even paid attention to him, in this role. He couldn't have that stop.[/sblock]

Skyler Martell (Sir)
BACKGROUND
The nobles have lately taken an interest in watching the deeds of the city constabulary's Rose Company. Indeed, they have even subtley pulled some strings, to ensure attachment of one of their own to that illustrious group...
Skyler Martell comes from an old and honorable (if small) noble family. Still, his family was able to afford the best weapon's trainers, and Skyler proved to be quite adept with blade and shield. His inherent strength and endurance allowed him to match up against more skilled opponents in duels, and the young knight learned much from such matches. He is generally considered an expert-at-arms, though he continually strives to learn more.
Skyler's familiy is mostly what you would expect of the nobility. His father (Lord Tyrus Martell) is an aristocrat through and through, his mother (the Lady Dorathia Martell) the dutiful and quiet nobleman's wife. His sickly older brother Lane followed in the footsteps of his father, and has grown into a dark and brooding man of some thirty years of age. And his younger brother, the happy-go-lucky Aldric, is something of a rogue.
When asked to join Rose Company, Skyler was at first take aback. He really didn't have the skills needed for investigation. Certainly, he could fight if called upon to do so, and he knew how to threaten someone to spill information. But searching for clues and the like had never really been his forte. Still, he wasn't one to shirk his duty, and he accepted the posting.
Skyler is currently bethrothed to the noblewoman Colette Devereux, the young and beautiful scion of the Devereux family in Paridon. The young lady was not at all happy to hear about her soon to be husband joining the constabulary; not only does she consider it beneath him, but she worries that despite his skill with the blade that he will end up with a knife in his back. SKyler only smiles at her concerns, and tells her that everything will be alright.
APPEARANCE
Skyler is an attractive young man in his early twenties, well heeled and bearing himself with a certain confidence and noble air. The tilt of his head, the gait of his step...everything about the way he carries himself conveys the image of cool confidence. He is tall and muscular, with the lean, athletic build of one who has spent thousands of hours doing rigorous exercise and weapons drills. His dark brown hair is usually a bit wild and wind-tossed, his black eyes like pieces of jet. He is fair skinned, with ruggedly handsome features.

[sblock=Naraithus]
A family heirloom from long ago, the blade Naraithus should have went to Skyler's older brother Lane. Lane showed no interest in the fighting arts, though, and thus the sword was given to Skyler instead.
Crafted of the finest steel, with a single fuller running down the keen edged blade, Naraithus is an elaborately wrought weapon. The blade, the guard, the hilt, the square capped pommel...all are excellently and tastefully decorated by a master craftsmen.
