While not native to the covenant, he has served Mystikae Eikona faithfully since he was recruited in Constantinople by Aelred about three years ago. He is tall, with dark eyes, long black hair and a neatly-trimmed mustache and beard.

Tamar doesn’t discuss her past much...okay, she doesn't discuss it at all. There are many rumors that have circulated since she showed up three or four years ago and demanded a job in heavily accented Turkish (she has since also learned to speak Greek). Some people say that she’s half Giant. Some say that she used to be a man but was stricken by a curse that changed her sex. Some say she’s descended from the Amazons of legend. All agree that any speculation as to her background should not be argued in her presence unless you greatly enjoy pain.
She is believed to come from north of the Black Sea somewhere, where she learned to ride, swordfight, and shoot the bow. She arrived at the covenant with her own arms and armor, as well as a horse with full barding (which has since found its way into the covenant’s herd). Tamar takes her duties very seriously (and makes it a point to look as fierce and intimidating as she can when she’s working). She can be very competitive at times, and will often find herself drawn into a game of “anything you can do I can do better,” even when it involves something that she’s not very good at.
Tamar is a towering giant of a woman, easily dwarfing practically everyone else in the covenant, and her impressive musculature only adds to her intimidation factor. She is rather tan, with straw-blonde hair and blue eyes. Her "off-duty" clothing tends to consist of a home-spun tunic and breeches with soft leather boots...while hardly typical feminine wear, it does suit someone comfortable in the saddle.

Domazhir's adopted family
In the spring of his fifteenth year (1190), Ieuan left his village of Llancarfan in the Vale of Glamorgan to go on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Richard, Coeur de Lion was in London, making the last preparations for his Crusade to the Holy Land, and the youthful Ieuan was keen for adventure, and the guarantee of heaven that a crusade would bring. In the late summer of that year, he left the isles that were his home.
Ieuan served in Richard’s army in Sicily, witnessing the sack of Messina, and in Cyprus, where the heretic Greeks were put to the sword. He attended the celebrations of Richard’s marriage to the beautiful Berengaria, and then, with them, travelled to Acre. He fought at the siege of Acre, the slaughter of its garrison, and witnessed the disintegration of the crusade as the nobility bickered over the spoils, and Richard’s henchmen threw down the banner of Leopold of Austria. Ieuan was also at Arsuf, Ascalon and Jaffa, and was, for a short time, within sight of the walls of Jerusalem itself, but by now, his thirst for adventure had been slaked, and his hope of heaven diminished by all the death he had seen.
When Richard finally concluded a peace with Yūsuf Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn ibn Ayyūb (Saladin), a disillusioned Ieuan took the opportunity to travel through the holy land on his way home. His travels took him north, and eventually into Cilician Armenia, where he met a young woman, Theodora Prasomales, wandering dazed and confused after her village had been destroyed by a Seljuk raid. He took care of her, and she of him, and they now have a son, Gwilim. Not long after Gwilim’s birth, the newly formed family found a place at the covenant of Mystikae Eikona, where they have been for nineteen years.
Ieuan still thinks he is on his way back to Wales, but Theodora knows better. He has been away for thirty years, and has been living with her for twenty of those. Gwilim knows little of Wales, only that which his father has told him, and is much more Greek than Welsh. Theodora is perfectly happy to let Ieuan have his dream, knowing that there is little risk of him leaving Mystikae Eikona.
The family have been living at the covenant for most of Gwilim’s life, and certainly for all of it that he can consciously remember. This is now home, however much Ieuan fails to recognise it. At Mystikae Eikona they are part of the community, they have friends and comrades amongst the other covenfolk, and now have a very comfortable living as part of Domazhir’s household. The Magus treats them with respect and courtesy, and has even begun placing enchantments onto Ieuan’s and Gwilim’s arms and armour, to aid them in the current troubles. Theodora is, reasonably, content. Moving her from here will require the destruction of this community, which does not seem likely from her lofty vantage point.
Gwilim does not share his father’s desire (however weak) to travel to Wales. He has grown up here, and he can gain access to the training in swordsmanship that is his burning desire. Here, too, he is well known to the young ladies, and may, one day, begin a family of his own.
Ieuan, Theodora and Gwilim inhabit the upper floors of the fairy chimney, above Domazhir's laboratory (ground floor) and living quarters/studio (first floor). Domazhir regards the whole of the chimney as his sanctum, and his family of guards/sevants are thus under his protection.

Osred arrived in what remained of the Byzantine Empire too late to join the Varangian Guard in Constantinople, and to take advantage of the riches that might have been his. Instead of joining a crusade, he decided to sign on as part of Theodore Lascaris newly established Varangians in the Empire of Nikaea. He rose to be a section leader and weapons instructor, only to be dismissed when the Emporer married Yolanda of Flanders, and she took a dislike to the scarring on his face.
He has been trying to whip the turb into shape for about a year, since arriving in late spring 1219.
