He is the assistant to Henry Barson, owner of The Hidden Tome in the guildsman district. The Watch occasionally comes to him for odd bit of information and Zetrin is generally the mediator between the two. He is clean shaven and typically wears a white button-down shirt and vest, breeches, and when going out, a tan overcoat. He appears to be doing well for himself, but a tradesman nonetheless. His light brown hair falls to either side of his face, yet is cut short enough to remain out of his bright eyes and joyful complexion. His blue eyes appear to almost look through you as he studies your face with a smile. A light pack is swung around his back and a crossbow dangles from his side, attached to his belt.DanteMale Human Bard (NPC)Dante is a handsome, relatively short man, 5'10", and skinny.  His face is all sharp angles, his blue eyes bright and twinkling, almost always grinning.  His loose, black hair is cut short and brushed rakishly to favour one side.  He is always dressed immaculately in bright colours, but otherwise seems to keep up with the latest fashions, and takes great pains to cultivate a carefree mein.  He favours the bow and light armour.Xath ValunusMale Human ScoutThe Valunus family is well known in the guard. Elden Valunus is a long serving, high ranking, well known and well respected Captain of the guard. He is known for having a firm, no-nonsense attitude, although their are rumours of him losing his edge and starting to drink too frequently of late. His eldest son, Odar, is a fast-rising star in the guard, tall and blond, with striking good lucks and a powerful build, great things are expected of him.  He has just been commissioned as a Lieutenant in the guard, at a markedly young age, and their are rumours that the Knights of the Pale are keeping an eye on his progress. As far as Xath goes, you have not heard too much directly concerning him. The youngest of a family of three, you have crossed paths occasionally with him in Oldtown.  He is still quite young, and has on a number of occasions gotten himself into trouble as of late, but word is that he has been shielded by his father to date. The opinions of Xath very, from being overall a good kid that has simply gotten into trouble as all youth of an age do, to resentment in some corners towards the rumoured favouritism that has been shown towards him.Eran TolunMale Human Urban Ranger (keeping regular SRD Tracking instead of the UA variant)Eran's a rather tall and good-looking man in about his late twenties. Blonde hair, blue eyes, with the rugged appearance of an outdoorsman. Often he could be seen walking the streets of Ptolus half dressed in his Watch uniform and longsword, "patrolling" the city on his days off. Many of the residents know him by sight and consider him a part of the city as much as clotheslines and cobblestones. Though he had been with the Watch since his early years, Eran neither sought nor was granted any promotion through the ranks. However, he had gained a de facto respect from many Watchmen which suddenly became the only thing which saved him from imprisonment for his crimes.  Eran is a friendly sort of guy, if not the brightest Watchman.  He seems to know everybody.  Eran is a middle-aged widower with two estranged kids, that recently got kicked out of the Watch for killing a Pale Dog who had too many connections to be brought to justice.ValiceFemale Half-elf Spirit Shaman*Valice is fidgety, with an eerie stare and awkward mannerisms. She is quiet, sometimes unnervingly so, but when she does talk she is impressively well spoken. She has long, tangled black hair and strange, sea-green eyes. Her skin is pale in contrast to her flushed lips and cheeks. She is tall and extremely thin to the point of frailty. Valice, beyond her oddities, is generally considered a kind and caring person, to the degree that she can convey it. She is generous in her donations to the church, is never known to say an untoward word, and is known to feed the stray animals in her section of town. This gentleness inspires most to ignore her strange habits and monotonously routine existence.  Valice's personification in the spirit world is that of a vulture.  She lives in a small house down Song Row, making her living by recording deaths and plotting graves in the city's sprawling Necropolis.( * : The Spirit Shaman from Complete Divine is so laughably lame-ass that I was somewhat tempted to ban it outright.  Rather than do that, however, I enhanced it with a few changes in keeping with the concept the player wanted for Valice.  Primarily I granted her the SNA series as bonus Retrieved spells, the Conjurer's Rapid Summoning ability from Unearthed Arcana, and the AE Greenbond's Infuse With Life ability.)</blockquote>
