Knowledge BrokersMale Human Criminals

These notorious rakes specialize in bone-breaking and burglary, but also have a reputation as knowledge brokers. They’re known to extract the tongues of employers who mistreat them.

Bellwish Grady

Physical Description

Grady is a dumpling-shaped man clad in a tattered waistcoat and a filthy powdered wig. He speaks in a mocking, downbeat drawl that reeks of cabbages, and receives daily instructions from a parchment that appears by magic inside his left boot. Nobody knows who plants these instructions: Grady himself believes it’s a fairy, but others have suggested that his companion Dwindlejoy is responsible, or even that he writes the notes himself during nightly fits of madness. Grady has a rusted arrowhead embedded in his brain, so the latter is most likely true.

• • Personality: Grady never loses his calm, and acts like he’s heard it all too many times before.

• Ideal: “I am motivated entirely by greed.”

  • Bond: “My fear of the ‘fairy gentleman’ compels me to obey his daily instructions”.

  • Flaw: “My loyalty is easily bought: so long the price exceeds my current fee.”

Merry Dwindlejoy

Description

Dwindlejoy is a sallow, lank-haired ghoul of a man with cadaverous, oversized features and a rotten grin. He has an odd manner of speaking: aside from “aye” and “nay”, he prefaces every utterance with either “Let us be clear…” or “So we ask you this…”, and pointedly ignores any conversations that don’t include himself. Grady compensates for this by addressing all his statements to Dwindlejoy (for example, “I wonder, don’t you Dwindlejoy, if this rat is going to hand over its bauble without a fight?”).

• • Personality: Dwindlejoy always appears like he’s gloating over a joke you missed.

  • Ideal: “The law of chance governs everything, so I often flip a coin to resolve tough decisions.

• Bond: “I’m always loyal to my friend Grady.”

• Flaw: “I am deeply afraid of fire”.
