He was an orphan named by a fortune teller. His curious name comes from the vellum bellicose, the material on which the Dukes of the Infernal Isles write their formal declaration of war. The name is synonymous with the writs themselves.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Vellum is a quiet man, given to study. As both his hobby and part of his duties at the Library he is making a list of all the names for the port. This will take many lifetimes, which he may, in fact, have seeing as this task has left him... curiously altered. Vellum is also the port's best marksmen.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Honorata "Ingenue" Santos is widely considered the most beautiful woman in port. She is also the first woman aeronaut, captain of the Starry Night. She's nicknamed the "Heartbreaking Angel of the Skies" or simply the "Heartbreak Angel".</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Honorata was born in the town of Ingenue in the Clutch, near the shores of the Aster Sea. She was a dreamy, doe-eyed girl in a dreamy, doe-eyed town until something tragic happened, something she never speaks of. Now she breaks hearts and other, more durable things --she's become an adventuress, you see -- in the lands around the port and elsewhere.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">She claims she's going to lead an aerial expedition into the Interior to find the source of the Ossuary Flow. She's also boasted that she'll rob the Great Train one day "because Gog 'n Magog can't reach way up into the clouds", a boast that's gotten her into a world of trouble with the Deacon of the Swagger, a crime lord who determined to both marry Ingenue and turn her to piracy</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Onomatopoeia is as assassin. He is said to be a demon, completely invisible, and made entirely out of sounds; it's said he has a taste for blood and music. Despite being fantastically dangerous, he is frequently sought out, not only by potential clients, but by a strange mix of killers and musicians.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The killers believe there is no finer tutor in the arts of stealth and murder. Likewise, the musicians believe him to be the greatest vocal coach alive -- if he truly is alive. Singers want the secret of his songs, which can sound like anything else in the world other than singing.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">These killers and musicians come from all across the Middling Lands, and even Across-the-Sea.</li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">And then there's Gladmarrow. He's very tall, wears a top hat, and is usually covered in sharp bony spines. He has something to do with the Petitioner's, but exactly what is hard to say; member, boss, object of worship? He's unfailingly polite. Gladmarrow is said to eat human bones and is often seen in the company of another dangerous man who goes by the name of Gentle.</li> </ul></blockquote>
