Gord, Beej and Poke Mortimer claim to be [wiki]Hengistbury Village[/wiki]
's only "functioning" thieve's guild. They promise to expand operations once they "establish themselves." At the respective ages of 12, 13 and 14, these delinquent orphans are (almost) universally disliked by the older folks in the village, while children lionize them.
As far as thievery goes, Hengistbury is not a place full of marks ripe for plunder; besides, blundering oaf Poke and over-thinking mastermind Gord have proven quite inept at it. What they do have a knack for is sneaking, surveillance, and gossip. A suspicious housewife, a jealous business competitor, or inquisitive adventurers can find use in them as spies, and they make their meager living doing so.
They have a history of cooperating with the constabulary, especially where crime is concerned. It appears that, despite their claim to status as a thieve's guild, upstanding Beej and tender-hearted Poke can't bear to actually break the law, much to the chagrin of ambitious Gord.

[h=1]Gord Mortimer[/h]
Gord is twelve years old, and the youngest of the three orphan brothers. He is exceedingly brilliant for his age, and has eidetic memory; however, he is considered small even for his age. He is widely considered the ringleader of the trio of misfits. Despite his intelligence, he is quite immature; he is selfish, presumptuous, and prone to delusions of grandeur (hence their claim to being Hengistbury's only "thieve's guild"). His schemes are always over-thought, and fail under the weight of their own brittle complexity, often in spectacular fashion. Just about the only thing he can manage to do without being thwarted is the Mortimer brothers' surveillance business.
Gord is chaotic neutral. He dreams of one day being the greatest criminal mastermind in the region (though he has never traveled beyond [wiki]Thornbury[/wiki]
). He feels held back by his brothers, whose propriety has also ruined many of his schemes.
[h=1]Beej Mortimer[/h]
Beej is thirteen years old, and is the middle child in the Mortimer family. Beej is the "face" of the operation. His charm, quick wit, and ability to read people has gotten the trio out of more than a few scrapes. Such is his charm that even the constabulary has hired the Mortimers on occasion (Beej will meet with the constable in the back room of [wiki]Cadwych's Curios[/wiki]
to offer his brothers' services in aid of discrete investigations). In fact, Beej fancies himself a detective rather than a thief, and is interested in growing up to become a king's agent of the law in some far distant city. His charm is also a hit with the young ladies in town, for whom his reputation of roguishness only enhances his appeal.
Beej is lawful neutral. Gord would call him a "stick in the mud," and Beej, together with Poke, is a constant foil to Gord's criminal enterprises. Nevertheless, his association with unscrupulous Gord has painted him with the same brush of juvenile delinquency that affects all the Mortimer brothers. If Beej has single biggest flaw, it is that he is a tattle-tale of the highest order. Town gossips can be seen talking to the boy at every opportunity.
[h=1]Poke Mortimer[/h]
Poke is a fourteen-year-old simpleton, but one tall enough to fill out a man's clothes and sporting a scruffy chin. He is a gentle giant. He intends no harm and will not defend himself, but will deal violence to anyone who threatens his brothers. He follows his brothers' orders explicitly, but tends to pay more heed to Gord than Beej, which is why he has a reputation as a rapscallion despite his honest and good intentions.
Poke is neutral good. His misunderstood love of people and animals has thwarted Gord's master plans as often, if not more than, Beej's uprightness. Nevertheless, Poke's brute strength and loyalty are a necessary tool for twelve-year-old, pint-sized Gord. Poke is almost thoughtlessly honest, saying whatever is on his mind.
