A crotchety and aging man, Erdrick is the main groundskeeper at the Cathedral.
Mary Brighton: Age 19

He has ambitions to control the entirety of the city even if his noble titles do not allow him to rule over it. He already has a hand in some lesser guilds.
Caana Heirule: Age 35
Canna is a Lieutenant of Murderer's Row. He is exceptionally crafty, bright, and knows his way around a fight. He contacted Judoc after the fight with Thresher and offered a favor for when Judoc needed it. Once Judoc was tasked by Baron Graves with killing Thresher, Caana managed to smooth the whole thing over, sending Thresher off into hiding while spreading the word of his death. However, the whole situation put Judoc into a debt with the organization and it is one that has yet to be reclaimed...
Brother Hilath: Age 73

Brother Loke: Age 62
Mentor at the Templar College, Loke is technically a monk, and owns very little authority within the church, however he is a holder of the diamonds on his Knight's Cross which makes him highly respected wherever he goes within the Templars. A gifted mage, the man has a reputation for being both foul-tempered and cruel.
Brother Moloran: Age 35
A recent addition to the college, Brother Moloran instructs the Battle Magic classes - which deals less with specific spells than their application in warfare. He is stern, but fairer than most of the monks and has a good reputation with all of the students who attend his classes.
Sir Neranmal: Age 43
Mentor at the Templar College, Neranmal is lower than most professors in both status and rank, being only a knight and only holds his original Knight's Cross, however he is quite gifted in magic. He mostly instructs in the Air College, where his knowledge outpaces even that of Brother Loke himself.
'Thresher' Olgudsback: Age 32
A lower level operator for Murderer's Row, Thresher was caught at a safe house raid and forced to fight in the Arena at Azer on All Saints Day. He was dressed in costume as death and drew Judoc as his opponent. Thresher was released after Judoc declined to kill him at the end of the fight.

Duke Suviel Orilou of Azer: Age 54

Rumor has it that Baron Raisalter has had a rich career as a knight and Templar before settling down at the College of Battle Magic to teach religious studies. he has earned the swords to his Knight's Cross, only surpassed by those few who have earned their diamonds. He at times seems slightly out of place, for he is much kinder that most of the other teachers, encouraging thought rather than discipline and encouraging his students to test the bounds of their faith and reason.
Brother Raymond: Age 41
The keeper of the College Library, Brother Raymond has acquired a vast knowledge in history, magical theory, and various subjects. Still, he is held in rather less esteem than the vast majority of the staff because he tends books rather than teaching students and conducting research.
Deacon Samuel: Age 19
Samuel is an ambitious and well to do young man, though he has obviously not had to work for most things in his life. His lack of social status has also left him with a lack in the social graces expected of a man of the cloth.

Master Ulrich: Age Unknown
The rumored guildmaster of Murderer's Row, Ulrich is oft whipsered of but never seen. Rumors abound that escaped a murder attempt four years ago in a disagreement with Baron Graves which only seems to increase this phantom's legend.
THREE CORNERS
Captain Nathan Brashear: Age 38
Captain of the company at Fort Three Corners, Captain Brashear has held his station for going on 4 years. He is a no-nonsense leader, giving as much rope to each of his lieutenants as could be reasonably expected until they prove themselves unworthy of it.
