He was believed to become the next lieutenant in New City but after the crisis, he has fallen out of favor with the high ups.

He lost some prestige in their eyes when Gralf and Pekko chose to leave the city. Custodio is a member of the church of the Purifier and is member of the order known as The Vanquishers. (He cannot fight from a hidden position.) His family is well known in the city but they aren't considered nobles, which suits him fine. He was assigned to work with the previous group of PCs (including Big Tim, Relgar, Terger, and Thersean) to find Phelix and bring the sorcerer to justice. He plans to continue working with Big Tim and the new PCs (you guys) to continue the search for the renegade.</p><p></p><p><strong>Demetrios Zinon Aris Rhodes</strong> (male human) – An ex-guard who was disgraced decades ago after his insane father, Tjaard, unleashed an unnatural horror in the Military District. While what happened wasn't Demetrios' fault, he did defend his father when the Bluffside Elite tried to take Tjaard into custody. He was likely <em>dominated</em> by his father, but he was still jailed without a trial for political reasons. He was released into Terger's custody, and when Terger left the city for his new mission, Rhodes went with him.</p><p></p><p><strong>Elkgrar Ashhand</strong> (male hill dwarf) – A dwarven cleric of the Builder whose rich family is from Old City.

He worked with Gralf and the gnome's allies up until the confrontation with the Quartermaster of the Rising Swords. After that, he gave up his position and left the city for parts unknown.</p><p></p><p><strong>"Garret"</strong> (male half-kobold) – An important member of the Bluffside Elite stationed at the Dungeon in New City.

Terger managed to finesse a deal out of the man that gave up the location of where Phelix might be hiding. Only later did Terger learn that he'd been making a deal with the devil. The Quartermaster is an evil man wanted for genocide and other vicious crimes; he is also known as Magnus the Trapmaster. He is a rogue of the worst kind and some believe he is actually a half-fiend. <u>He is the second most wanted person in Bluffside</u> only because Phelix has done so much damage to the city.
