Player Characters
Paul-Jacques Labombard
Heritage: French, African
Languages: English, French
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 possesses 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. Recently seen outfitted with a magical terracotta based armor.
- M1911A1: Single action, .50GI, 7 round magazine (closed bolt), 125mm (5 inch) barrel. Weight: 1080 g. Overall Length: 216 mm (approx. 8.5 inches).
Notes: Is friendly toward Armas.
Galileo Savoy
Heritage: Sicilian
Languages: English, Italian
Occupation: Ex-Mafia Agent
Affiliations: Himself, Neo-nazis
Appearance: Clean shaven man. A long scar runs from his left eyebrow to chest. His right arm is missing, and his genitals are mutilated. Favors extremely expensive suits.
Capabilities: The Savoy bloodline, that of Sicilian Kings, allows Galileo Savoy to be anywhere at anytime. He can teleport to locations he can visualize strongly enough, as long as he is not observed while teleporting. 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' take-down 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 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.
Subsequent to his defeat, Savoy found an ally in Florent Smets, a vampire in control of a powerful entity called Amen. Savoy sought to gain control of Amen by betraying Smets, but Armas foiled his plan and injured him badly.
Equipment: According to Amen, he seems to know more about knifeplay than the average mortal-though he's rather clearly used to thrown implements, over firearms. Savoy on five separate occasions inferenced a preference for missile launches, grenade launchers-and in general, wherever having to use firearms preferring to have as overwhelmingly an explosive weight behind his shots as possible-this seemed to be a new development, as he makes the transition out of being an assassin and into a free agent. Also has substantial monetary resources, always seen wearing an impeccable suit and gold watch. Now has a supernatural resilience to harm, from the demon blood in his veins, which came from a mid-Level Devil's arm, who Amen knows. Currently under private tutorage in a Contract at the Facility the Wizard Khubiliai runs.
Notes: Catchphrase: Vestra permaneo memoria est, te fio nusquam (Your last memory will be of nothing.)
Camella Larosa a.k.a. Camella Nardi
Heritage: Italian
Languages: Italian, English
Occupation: Assistant instructor at Ito's dojo
Affiliations: Formerly a member of the 9th Parachute Assault Regiment, Triads
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. She recently lost the majority of her left leg in a fight with Blackbeard.
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: Recently, in an attack against Blackbeard, she has lost her leg, although she has received a new one-a mundane Mongolian leg, sized to fit, courtesy of Lo Fang arranging for it from Wizard Khubiliai.
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.
- Beretta PX4 Storm pistol: Double action, 9x19mm, 17 round magazine (closed bolt), 102mm (4 inch) barrel. Weight unloaded: 780-800 g. Overall length: 193 mm (approx. 8 inches).
- Benelli M4 Super 90: Semi auto, 12 gauge (3" chamber), 6 round magazine (closed bolt), 470mm (approx. 19 inch) barrel. Length: 1010mm (886 with stock retracted). Weight 3.8 kg unloaded.
- FN P90: Full auto/semi auto, 5.7x28mm, 50 round magazine (open bolt), 263mm (10.5 inch) barrel. Weight: 2.54kg empty, 3kg loaded. Overall length: 500mm. Rate of fire: 900 rounds per minute. Effective range: 200 meters.
- -Mk.16SCAR-L: Select-fire (auto/burst/semi), 5.56x45mm, 30 round magazine, barrel length either 254mm/10", 355mm/14", or 457mm/18". Weight: 3.5kg empty. Overall length: 620-850mm (varies with barrel length). Rate of fire: 600 rounds per minute.
- Franchi Renaissance Sporting 12 Gauge: Double barrel (over/under), 12 gauge (3" chamber). Unknown length, sawn-off.
- Walther WA 2000: Semi auto, unknown caliber (.300 Win Mag, .308 [most likely] or 7.5x55 Swiss), 10 round magazine (closed bolt), 650mm barrel. Overall length: 905 mm. Weight unloaded: 6.95 kg. Second Generation model. Notes: Wood portions of ironwood, from a tree growing on an elephant burial ground. This weapon was claimed as a battle trophy by Camella from the body of Olga Brandt.
Notes: Practices her axe-work with Go Ping. Believes Armas is an impossibly lazy wizard.
Olga Brandt
Heritage: German
Languages: German, English
Occupation: Unknown
Affiliations: Neo-Nazis
Appearance: She was woman of both average height and build with brown chest length hair.
Capabilities: Olga had no known bloodline power, but was a trained sniper. She was not known to be capable of any extraordinary feats of skill, save for the ability to throw objects extremely long distances with some speed and accuracy.
History: The wife of Kaspar Brandt. She was known to have kept him thoroughly and utterly pussy whipped, having him walk the family dog, a tiny chihuahua named Snufflupagus, around the block. Armas slew her husband and his followers and opted to keep his family out of it, leaving her a widow. Unbeknownst to Armas, she was a trained sniper who was actively attempting to find and assassinate her husband's murderer. She eventually was able to identify Armas as the killer and hired a Mohawk mercenary named Big Crazy to assist, all the while keeping him unaware of her Neo-Nazi allegiances. At some point she came into contact with Savoy who helped her lay a trap for Armas. She and Big Crazy would go undercover as people who were duped by Smets, who was in league with Savoy. They would then contact Armas and arrange meetings to discuss methods of retribution, eventually leading him into an assault on the manor where they would betray him. Their plan did not succeed. When Armas and Big Crazy breached the building Savoy let loose Smets to 'clean up' before Big Crazy could betray Armas. The two then turned on Smets and Olga aimed a shot at Armas, only to be thwarted by his Arrow Charm. She was then faced with both Camella who had noticed her betrayal and Smets' ghoul security forced who had been set upon them both.
Equipment: Kaspar Brandt's
- Tokarev TT-30 Pistol: Same weapon as used by Armas (see above).
- Walther WA 2000: Same weapon as used by Camella (see above).
Notes: Deceased as of Wednesday, November 24th, 2010 quest time. She was killed by Camella after the betrayal, wounds indicate she was hacked to death by Camella's axes.
Big Crazy
Heritage: Mohawk Indian
Languages: English, Mohawk
Occupation: Mercenary
Affiliations: Iroquois League (Mohawk Tribe)
Appearance: He is a huge man, shorter than Armas but much more stocky. His skin so red he appears to have a perpetual sunburn and he has acne scars across his face.
Capabilities: Big Crazy is a spirit shaman, and has bound two spirits to his soul: Little Bear (who grants greatly increased durability and strength) and Dirt Snake (described as a spirit dedicated solely to sensing).
History: Big Crazy was born and raised in Texas. He dreamed of becoming a faster shot than his tribe's elder and at some point sought out training from Bob Mundon to help achieve his dream. Was later bamboozled by Olga Brandt into working with her to kill Armas, he was dismayed to learn that she was actually a Neo-Nazi. With no money, no prospects in Istanbul, and no legal papers allowing him to be there, he approached Armas (who treated him fairly and respectfully after the dust settled) for employment. Armas decided they should go on a road trip together.
Equipment: Big Crazy doesn't use armor, since Little Bear makes him more than durable enough to take a shot and keep going. He wears a pair of modified sunglasses and carries multiple ear plugs to help with the flash and noise created by his rifle.
- Mare's Leg: A cut-down rifle.
Notes: No, Spirit Shamans don't make dream catchers. Dream Shamans make dream catchers. You racist.
