| |Image=GfH Paul-Jacques Labombard.jpg|
| |
| |Caption=Paul-Jacques Labombard
| |
| |Name=Paul-Jacques Labombard
| |
| |Heritage=French, African
| |
| |Occupation=Mercenary
| |
| |Affiliations=Triads
| |
| |Appearance=Paul-Jacques Labombard is a large man, standing at about six foot six and weighing at least two hundred and sixty pounds. He sports a clean shaven head and a groomed goatee.
| |
| |Capabilities=Labombard posseses two magical bloodlines. He primarily uses is his French, Loup Garou bloodline powers to give himself many of the power ascribed to the mythical beasts. One observed ability being very keen senses, heightened to the point that he can hardly ever be ambushed by a mortal attacker. His secondary bloodline power has yet to be revealed.
| |
| |History=As of late Labombard has busied himself fighting a one man war against US special forces groups arranged against the Triads and helping Lo Fang in a counter plot against an assassination attempt perpetrated by Savoy, an attempt which, thanks to Labombard, ended with Savoy missing an arm and barely escaping with his life.
| |
| |Equipment=His battle attire consists of urban camouflage gear with a dozen cargo pockets and a dual-triple-stacked shoulder harness. The shoulder harnesses allow him to carry six Colt 1911's, each tooled to take the .50GI cartridge.
| |
| *M1911A1: Single action, .50GI, 7 round magazine (closed bolt), 125mm (5 inch) barrel. Weight: 1080 g. Overall Length: 216 mm (approx. 8.5 inches).

| |Image=GfH Galileo Savoy.jpg
| |
| |Caption=Galileo Savoy
| |
| |Name=Galileo Savoy
| |
| |Heritage=Sicilian
| |
| |Occupation=Mafia Agent
| |
| |Affiliations=Mafia
| |
| |Appearance=Clean shaven man. A long scar runs from his left eyebrow to chest. Favors extremely expensive suits.
| |
| |Capabilities=The Savoy bloodline, that of Sicilian kings, allows Galileo Savoy to be anywhere at anytime. He has demonstrated the ability to appear at the location of people who call him on the phone, to (presumably) travel from Sicily to Istanbul in a matter of hours, and be inside locked buildings with no evidence of having actually entered. He is rumored to be an exceptionally competent solo assassin, in no small part because of this ability.
| |
| |History=Galileo Savoy was called to Istanbul as part of Armas Laine's actions to take vengeance upon Angiluzzo Castelletti for sending him into a job likely to get him killed with insufficient information. He subsequently oversaw Armas' takedown of Castelletti, the replacement of Castelletti with Rocco Armani in the Istanbul branch of the Mafia, Armas' assassination of Kaspar Brandt, and presumably undertook or facilitated several other operations for the betterment of the Istanbul Mafia. Most recently, he personally and seemingly without orders attempted the assassination of the Triads' Lo Fang and suffered a rather miserable defeat at the hands of his target and the mercenary Paul-Jacques Labombard, sending the Mafia into confusion and disarray.
| |
| |Equipment=With the exception of his impeccable dress and gold watch, as well as substantial monetary resources, the equipment favored and used by Savoy is unknown at this time.

| |Image=GfH Camella Larosa.jpg|
| |
| |Caption=Camella Larosa
| |
| |Name=Camella Larosa/Camella Nardi
| |
| |Heritage=Italian
| |
| |Occupation=Assistant instructor at Ito's dojo
| |
| |Affiliations=Formerly a member of the 9th Parachute Assault Regiment
| |
| |Appearance=She has straw blond hair and blue eyes with a frame that can safely be described as athletic. Outside of missions she can often be found wearing Armas' clothes.
| |
| |Capabilities=Camella has no bloodline power and it is unclear if she comes from a magical bloodline to begin with. She has yet to acquire any form of supernatural contract, training, or trinkets. Her excellent military training and natural ability make up for this by allowing her to excel in both the use of firearms and melee combat.
| |
| |History=x
| |
| |Equipment=When she surfaced she was wearing a tattered Italian military uniform with a helmet that included adjustable lenses for thermal and night-vision and which concealed two tactical vests and leg armor. In the pockets she also had a variety of weapons including three grenades, four flash bangs, another hatchet and a pair of spiked knuckled dusters with her assault rifle, SMG, shotgun and sidearm. Her pockets also contained five flasks, a pocket knife, a lighter, a radio, earpiece, and PDA with hidden bugs. The tattered uniform has since been replaced with a set of black clothing.

| |
| |History=The wife of Herr Brandt. She was known to have kept Herr Brandt thoroughly and utterly pussy whipped, having him walk the family dog, a tiny chihuahua named Snufflupagus, around the block. Unbeknownst to Armas, was a trained sniper who was actively attempting to find and assassinate her husband's killer. In order to discover Armas' identity she had to carve her way through more than a dozen mafiosos. With the hired mercenary known as Big-Crazy and her own considerable skills she had Armas' name and had set her sights on killing him.
| |
| |Equipment=Kaspar Brandt's
| |
