These include hundreds of covenfolk (librarians, cooks, servants, and so on) and grogs, as well as a dozen or so specialists (carpenters, masons, tailors, tanners, bookbinders, and so on). The following are just some of the more prominent and active members of the covenant. Yes, these are the active ones.Pontifex Lydia is the ruler of Gormenghast, a Tremere maga struck by old age and twilight. He frail body can no longer carry her, and she is carried around in a small carriage by a large fawning entourage that attempts to rule the covenant directly, especially when Lydia sinks into sleep (which she does often). To their annoyance, Lydia always seems to wake up in the wrong moments and disrupt their petty despotic schemes. From the little you know of her, she seems a fair ruler genuinely interested in Gormenghast's interests, but beset by fools and incompetence.Rex Scorum is the master of ceremonies of the covenant. You have gathered he is a Mercere by the name of Janus, though you are not certain if he is Gifted. He is a fat old man, that seems interested in little more than the minutiae of the endless ceremonies he is in charge of.Rex Nereiim is a mystery to you. He was present at each of your acceptance ceremonies, and at many ceremonies since, yet you are not clear on his task and duties in Gormenghast, and he had never attend a wizard's council. Stranger still, you can't seem to remember his appearance, although you always recognize him when you meet him.Skylos of Criamon is an aging Criamon magus, chitterish and giggling. He seems to find just about anything amusing and interesting, yet nothing seems to hold his attention. His votes usually goes with the flow, or with the more elder magi in the council.Kerrus of Verditius is a reclusive Verditius magus. Even at council he is always prying over some research notes or sketches, and resents simply having to vote. He often votes Nay, and you have the distinct feeling he doesn't always know what he is objecting to.Adendein of Merinitia is a relatively young senior member of the covenant, or at least seems to be younger and less afflicted then most. He is adamant in pursuing plans to invigorate Gormenghast, but his plans and suggestions often fail for lack of support. You suspect that he is the driving force behind the recent acceptance of young magi (the PCs) to bolster the covenant.</blockquote>
