Faces

This is the list of prominent non-player characters, their ethnicities and locations, and their actor look-alikes.

Amar kiran-Shah (Azashi, Mormont): The enigmatic emissary from the Empire of Azash is never seen without his man-servant Muoded. Little is known of Amar, or his purpose in Auvergne, yet he has yet to cause any stir - politically, or otherwise. [Oded Fehr]

Antonio Velazzini, AKA “The Viper” (Velognan, Mormont): The handsome and sauve assassin somehow managed to spill his entire goblet of wine all over Emissary Amar at the Duke’s re-coronation celebration. But was he truly drunk at the time? [James Marsters]

Commodore Henri Lafayette (Auvergnian, Mormont): Second-in-command of the Duke’s royal navy. He is responsible for the reinstatement of Miles Strange back to the service of the Duchy. He also ordered the Leftenant to investigate the recent raids along the coast and report his findings. [Peter Ustinov]

Daraka S’in (Unknown, Unknown): Translated as “eyes of shadow” in the patois of the Archipelago, the name first came to be heard by Bah’lan, the enigmatic shaman who travels with the party. [none]

His Grace, Duke Patrice du Martigny I (Auvergnian, Mormont): Held in captivity for seven years, the Duke has recently reclaimed his seat of power. Now he has asked the companions to be his “eyes and ears” and aid him in establishing a new age of free thinking and prosperity for both Auvergne, and the entire mainland. [Matthew McConaughey]

Francisco Morales (Espanaran, Smugglers Cove in the Archipelago): One of Darch’s oldest friends and drinking buddies, the irascible Espanaran now runs a tavern upon the small smuggler’s cove ruled by the Lady Celeste. Despite losing both legs in a freak drinking accident, Francisco has a passion for women…and is not afraid to let his desires be known. The old pirate has promised aid to Darch and his companions, but what form that aid will take is anyone’s guess. [Cheech Marin]

Justiciar Richard Valencort {deceased} (Auvergnian, Mormont): A soldier of the Light of the Redeemer, the Justiciar spent several days questioning Miles Strange regarding the battle at the fishing village of Merrill. Although clearly unsatisfied with the Leftenant’s answers, the Justiciar let Strange go all the same. Sadly, the Justiciar met his untimely demise in the bowels of the Montalbas Estate. [Richard Gere]

Kesh Faekin (Unknown, Various) Upon the mainmast of the Sea Witch Bald and beautiful, this shape-shifter is a minion of the Master. She appears to be of the same race as Morrigan, and tried to enlist Morrigan into joining with her to subjugate mortal mankind. Refusing her entreaty, it is clear Morrigan has made a dire foe in Kesh. [Persis Khambatta]

Lady Celeste (Auvergnian/Archipelagan, Adrift at sea) The Lady Celeste was once the paramour of our beloved Captain Darch…or perhaps it was the other way around? Due to circumstances clearly beyond Darch’s control, the two went their separate ways, but not before Celeste vowed to wreak vengeance upon the pirate. Many years passed, and the two became reunited…unexpectedly. Now the captain of a racy band of smugglers and cutthroats, the Lady Celeste rules from a hidden cove on one of the myriad small islands of the Archipelago. The party learns of her supposed business dealings with the Master, and how she is responsible for the transportation of drugs and other contraband to and from the mainland. Furthermore, the drugs are secreted upon and within a variety of mundane trade items such as furniture, cloths and dry goods. [Tina Turner as Autie Entity]

Majordomo (Velognan, Smuggler’s Cove in the Archipelago) Still falling…”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!IhateyouDonovanbutIstillfindyoustrangelyattractive!!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” The main servant and master-of-ceremonies for the Lady Celeste, the effete eunuch is also trained in hand-to-hand combat as well as ballroom dancing and flower arranging. [Dom DeLuise]

Maleesius (Velognan, At the winery in Mormont) This brutal man was once the captain of the guard for the Montalbas Estate and winery. [Robert Davi]

Master Ragazaad (Azashi, Purportedly in Mormont) Master Ragazaad is a well-known merchant from the Empire of Azash who lives in Mormont. The shipment of contraband hidden amidst the trade goods is to be delivered to him. Per Kristos Pellucci, Master Ragazaad is a philanthropist who generously donates his gold and largesse to the betterment of the people of Mormont. [none]

Monseigneur Montalbas (Auvergnian, The Montalbas Estate outside of Mormont) What was once a mortal man has now become a hungering wraith feeding upon the blood and souls of virginal women. This monster still inhabits the manor house and winery (controlled by the Church), and successfully performed the despicable rite to prolong its life once again. [Ron Silver]

Mr. Quick and Mr. Twist {deceased} (Auvergnian, Mormont) Twin assassins and rogues, these two were employed by the Master to kill the party. They met their end at the Pellucci shop, burned along with the fencing business. [Malcolm McDowell as Alex deLarge]

Santiago {deceased} (Espanaran, Mormont) A thug and hireling of the Master, Santiago was apparently slain by the party at the destroyed fishing village outside of Mormont. However, Santiago somehow survived the battle and returned to murder Captain Darch while he was soaking himself in a bathhouse in Mormont. Santiago exhibited the same characteristics as the flayed fishing villagers—a state of supposed undeath where he felt no pain, had Herculean strength, and could not be stopped by normal weapons. He was finally defeated and truly slain when Miles Strange used his abilities to purge poison, thus rendering the corpse inert. As a side note, Santiago was also supposedly the man responsible for the brutal rape and murder of Donovan’s entire family many years before, and defeated the young Leftenant Strange ten years ago in naval action in the Archipelago. [Luis Guzmán as Jacopo]

The Master (Unknown, Unknown) The ubiquitous villain who remains faceless and nameless, other than a title. The Master has drawn a web of deceit and lies that spans both the main continent and the Archipelago. One thing is certain - the Master is feared even by its own minions. [none]

Valasputin (Gordegaan, Mormont) This imposing and barbaric man is known as much for his cunning as for his counsel. The Duke’s personal advisor, Valasputin was the first to legitimize Duke Patrice’s return and systematically arrested each and every individual the false duke had placed into power. [Tom Baker as Koura]
