A shaven-headed, goateed man of middle years, Amanfar is genteel and studious, giving visitors the impression of a man of culture and sophistication. He is, however, fond of leather garb that fastens with tiny animated mouse hands that clasp buckles. Amafar is known to enjoy the occasional glass of Spectral Jade, the absinthe that he and a few other Guildsmen create in their spare time, brewed with the potent wormwood that grows in the Ghost’s Quarter in the ashes of the dead.Clemana Darsinthe (human female, Nec10, N), the wife of Amanfar is a Disciple of the Abyss, a woman of dark black hair and pale white skin. She is known to imbibe small amounts of poison to keep herself fashionably wan. Clemana keeps her nails lacquered black, but that is mainly to cover the strange grey-black tint that they have taken, due to her abundant use and experimentation with the negative energies of necromancy. Clemana is also fond of the leather and mouse-paw-buckle ensembles of Amanfar, which she often wears on her nights out to the Baths and the Theatre Sepulchural.Toltaris (human male Ftr7/Unf3, LN) is Amanfar’s Unfailing guardian, a position that he takes very seriously. He has served Amanfar for a number of years; indeed, he nearly died when Amanfar was assigned to outrider patrol. Attacked by a narleth of the Hornsaw, Toltaris’ spine was horribly shattered. Thanks to Amanfar’s contacts in the Anatomist’s Guild, however, the spine was braced with the animated bones of a wyvern’s shoulder-blades and then regenerated magically. The articulated bones which originally served as the wings of the beast were strengthened and now fold close to the warrior’s back, springing forth at his command to savage enemies with the serrated blades along their length. Toltaris has developed a fierce fighting style using these blades. Toltaris has a goatee and close-shaven head, and often wears a long cloak of cold-weave over his breastplate, which aids in concealing his animated blade-arms.Branlin Voraxis (human male, Ftr4/Rog2/Unf1, NG) is Toltaris’ lover and apprentice in the arts of the Unfailing. Branlin first let his feelings for the older, wiser warrior be known when he thought that Toltaris might die from the narleth-inflicted wounds. He did not, in fact, die and when he recovered, Toltaris hesitatingly acknowledged Branlin’s declarations. The two have been together ever since. Where Toltaris is dark and brooding, the blonde, long-haired Branlin is much cheerier, enjoying the parties and soirees that his charge, Clemana often attends, and capably defending her with his daggers.Briath Sinn (half-elf male, Nec6, CN) is probably the foremost leader and role model in Hollowfaust’s rebellious youth element. An older journeyman, Briath is a creature that denies the silly divisions within the Sowers of Fear, insisting that mockery, subtlety and viscera work best together, rather than in some kind of ridiculous divison. He is tall, thin and androgynous, highly decorated with piercings and tattoos. He is given to all manner of sexual deviancy and skirts the edge of Hollowfaust law with his pain-giving perversions.DM's NotesThe Animator prestige class (Ani) is found in Hollowfaust: City of Necromancers, as is the Unfailing prestige class (Unf).</blockquote>
