21

Esteban is the son of a knight (a caballero hidalgo) who was born with the Gentle Gift. On the advice of his maternal grandmother, a soothsayer, he left home at the age of 15 to seek apprenticeship under the wizard Theophilus of Jerbiton. It is not often that an apprentice comes knocking at a magus's door so Theophilus accepted despite Esteban's age and his mundane outlook. Esteban's father disinherited him for consorting with wizards and has been trying ever since, by fair means or foul, to get Esteban to give up magic.

After apprenticeship, Esteban sought out his father's old comrades-in-arms, the caballeros villanos from who he had learned to fight and to fight (and to drink and to wench). The commoner-knights were more accepting of Esteban's magic -- it was occasionally useful in battle. Esteban spent several years as a soldier of fortune, and also worked as a maker of enchanted items for a couple of noble patrons. After a bad encounter (and Wizard's War) with a rival wizard who provoked the wrath of a bishop for overt magic use, Esteban has developed a passion for trying to improve relations between the Order and mundanes.

[size=150]Quaesitor Laetitia filia Iudicium scholae Guernicus, Advocata ab Magvillus[/size]

Laetitia comes from a dynastic family of Guernici who trace their lineage to the Founder himself. Due to the prestige of the blood relation, it is a LARGE family, obsessed with maintaining the line. As only precious few are Gifted, the rest are brought into the service of Magvillus according to their strengths.

The eighth child of Iudicium Guernici, Laetitia was marked for great things when her Gift manifested in infancy. However, the more the young girl read about the Order's history, the more obsessed she became with the Founder's original intent in framing the Code. The budding apprentice quickly established her position as a passionately devoted Traditionalist. To say that her strongly Transitionalist father was disappointed would be a drastic understatement.

As the Transitionalists gained more and more power over the House, Iudicium and his mother Iustitia found more and more excuses to distance themselves and their family from the bright-eyed idealist. Upon her gauntlet, Laetitia was assigned a sanctum well beneath Magvillus, in an old network of caves used by the Terrae for rituals. Luckily, the ever-optimistic girl discovered a knack for Terram, and was mentored in the Terrae cult by her sanctum neighbour, Moebius. Upon earning her Quaesitorial certification, she was assigned to duties acting as an advocate to those magi who could not represent themselves in Tribunals and could not afford to hire the services of a Guernicus. This assignment was intended as a punishment, but the passionate young Traditionalist loves her work, and has spent a great deal of time travelling through various Tribunals to defend other magi's privacy and freedom against heavy-handed application of the Peripheral Code. She carries a fixed arcane connection to her sanctum beneath Magvillus, and within her sanctum she keeps fixed arcane connections to Durenmar, Coeris, and Blackthorn.

Laetitia still enjoys a close bond with her friend and mentor, Moebius, with whom she is secretly working to uncover the Founder's lost library. The ancient Guernicus is so close to Final Twilight that he hardly ever uses Hermetic magic anymore. However, he uses his academic skills to research old texts and tomes for leads, which he then passes along to his more youthful and energetic colleague.

(Design note: For purposes of Study Bonus, I assumed that the average source quality was 10. Partly because it seemed about average, but mostly because it's a good round number that made the arithmetic easy. Though for the arts scores that are at 5 I just counted them as a single season's worth of study at source quality 13.)

Wizard's Sigil: Peacefulness. In human targets, this manifests as a sense of well-being and contentedness; Imaginem effects with an audible species always sound in harmony.
Twilight Scars: Emotions are heightened and more intense around Laetitia - including her own.

Thick black hair, usually clasped in a golden circlet with a single opal at the brow. Warm, amber coloured eyes that sparkle when she smiles.

Siana of Magvillus, Scout

Daughter of Fflur of Merinita and Marcus, the Magvillus turb's unwitting archery captain, 8-year-old Siana was abandoned at Marcus' doorstep when she failed to manifest a Gift. Having always wanted a family, Marcus taught his daughter all he knew, and trained her to be his replacement. However, the girl is not only a terrible trainer, but she had also inherited a sense of wanderlust from her whimsical mother, and has never settled down.

While exploring the area around Magvillus in bear form, Siana became fast friends with Rhadamanthus, who does not judge her based on her unfeminine activities, or on her strange fae nature. Through him, she has become friends with Laetitia of Guernicus, with whom she now travels Europe as a bodyguard and confidante. Despite the differences in their personalities, the two have much in common, from their similar experiences of living with their respective fathers' disappointment, and the feeling of never quite feeling comfortable in public places.

Holl, Spirit of the Great Oak
Social Status: Magical Friend (Minor Flaw)
Bond: Servant of Saturn +3
Resources: Master of Herbam, Converse with Plant and Tree
Holl is a powerful (Might 25) flora (spirit of a plant) Propolos encountered in a forest in the Rhine tribunal. Like Propolos, Holl sees himself as a servant of the powers of magic, specifically of Satrun and his dominion over fate. He feels his fate and Propolos’ are intertwined, and hence would aid him occasionally.

Akala, Spirit of Fire
Social Status: Magical Friend (Minor Flaw)
Bond: Friend in Adventure +1
Resources: Spark of Fire (B15, +1 touch)
Akala is a mediocre (Might 15) Spirit of Fire, burning with curiosity and a sense of adventure. He longs to see new places and, especially - to set them on fire.

Gidan, Son of Harz
Social Status: Magical Friend (Minor Flaw)
Bond: Descendants of Gaia +1
Resources: Master of Earth, Crafter of Earth
Gidan is a (Might 20) genius locus, the living spirit of the Gidan mountain which lies at the foothills of the Harz mountain range. He thinks well of Propolos’ allegiance to the raw powers of Earth, the ancient Titans that form the bones of the world, and owes Propolos favors for services rendered.

Tinkel, Spirit of Curiosity
Social Status: Magical Friend (Minor Flaw)
Bond: Friends in Adventure +1
Resources: Posing the Silent Question (B15 +1 touch), Sight of the Transparant Motive (B5 +1 touch)
Tinkel is a spirit of curiosity Propolos found lurking around Tinkerela, once of the young covenfolk of Triamore. It is an intense (Might 20) eidolon, that was only happy to have Propolos summon him to poke around the minds of strange and foreign people.

Umbra, Spirit of Death
Social Status: Magical Friend (Minor Flaw)
Bond: Servant of the Gods +2
Resources: Whispers Through the Black Gate InCo 15, Physician’s Eye InCo 5
Umbra is a somber (Might 15) spirit of death that Propolos had the misfortune of meeting in one of his adventures, after a grog died. He was able to convince her they were both serving the gods, and Umbra would be willing to lend this fellow servant of Magic a helping hand now and then. She is reluctant to use her Whispers Through the Black Gate power, however, seeing its use as a breach of professional etiquette.

Telos, Spirit of Disaster
Social Status: Magical Friend (Minro Flaw)

Corona is a spirit of the color (species) white that Propolos found on a particularly shiny day.

Grant, the Spirit of a Wolf
Social Status: Magical Friend (Minor Flaw)
Bond: Fellow Hunter +1
Resources: Image of the Beast InAn 5, Tracing the Trail of Death’s Stench InCo/An 15
Grant is a (Might 15) wolf spirit that Propolos befriended in a forest in the Rhine tribunal, while on adventure. Impressed with his skill at hunting down and vanquishing the Faerie that molested his forest, Grant sees Propolos as a hunter and would agree to aid him in future hunts. He can grant the power of sniffing out any dead body to which he (or his summoner) has an Arcane Connection (similar to The Inexorable Search, but only the scent, not precise location, is provided).

Background: Propolos was raised as Ricals del Doira, third son of a mediocre Italian merchant that traded mainly to the nobility in and around the Italian Alps. While he was initially favored and brought up in his father’s trade, he soon developed a magical air and vile premonitions. Things came to a hectic climax when one day he foresaw the death of the daughter of a noble, was accused of witchcraft, and by evening, after a bizarre day filled with strange coincidences and occurrences, found himself spirited away into the hands of a mysterious stranger. His father reluctantly let go of his son, so that he may grow among “his kind”.

The mysterious stranger turned out to be the Flambeau magus Pietro of the Greater Alps Tribunal, a leading member in the Cult of Mercury. Young Ricals looked up to his parens, and still respects him greatly, although he has turned to the school of Vilano (Pietro wields power over winter and weather, mixing the School of Sebastian and Boreas). After his gauntlet he spent much time as a guest (Peregrinator) in the Rhine tribunal, although he frequently returned to his masters’ chapter house, Juno’s Tower, in the Greater Alps, and also visited other covenants in the Alps and Normandy.

Eventually he was driven by Visions to seek out Andorra, traveling across the Rhine and then Normandy until he reached the temple of Mercury that Titus has commandeered, and then Andorra itself. He is convinced that the gods intend a great fate for him here, although he knows not what it is.
