Gone but not forgotten

Armand Coutier

Armand was a satyr of the world—a socialite and niteclub owner from New York who suddenly turned up in Canberra, with flashy car and glitzy clothing and was killed during an attack by a nightmare nervosa generated by the Baroness Rhiannon. Mary Burnett ensured that Redjack and Sir Tristan was blamed for his death, although later they were cleared of this charge.
Current Status: Dead

Bertram Randell

Bertram is a fireman in human society. In February 2003 he defeated in single combat a fire elemental who had caused havoc in the dry western reaches of Canberra. In Fae society Sir Bertram was a part of the Griffin’s Wing Oathcircle and is currently squired to the Sidhe knight Sir Tristan. Hi multiple heroic deed include snatching an ally from literally between the jaws of a dragon, and being an Accordance war veteran. Only recently knighted by the Undone Countess Madeliene, he lives at Rose Cottage. Bertram has a slightly complicated relationship with the old man (see Ancient Evil from Beyond Time) and a fairly straightforward one with Hannah McCready, his recently wedded wife. And here's a picture
Notable Features Squire and currently dauntain

Bob Smith

Bob Smith is still a bit of a mystery. He attended Bluetear as his Chancellor and Lady Ariel as her Vizier: obviously Bob likes power. Bob appeared to be a kinain of some variety, possibly Sidhe, but there was always something odd about his appearance that never seemed ‘quite right’. He was a member of the old court, or so he said. Bob vanished after the Battle with the Old Man
Notable Features: Cherished, Trusted

Bonnie La Chatte

Bonnie was a Persian cat Pooka, delicate, well groomed and destined for stardom. She was fleeing an arranged marriage to Burt the Bulldog Pooka, who she saw as sweet, but completely unsuited to the image she wished to create for her future career. After acknowledging that her attempt to survive in the world alone had failed she has returned home to England.
Current Status: Inactive

Black Jess

Black Jess was a member of the Court of Caer Tagharim before the banality wave of 1999 hit. She was a wild child, tamed by the renowned knight, Sir Krellian, and taken as a squire by this worthy gentleman. After spending 3 years in a coma in a mental asylum, she has come out of the experience less carefree.
Status: Squire

Caitlin

Owner of "Ratty Books", a bookshop with an extensive secondhand section. Katie is rather skittish and quite nervous, but friendly when you get to know her.

Current Status: Inactive

Cat

Very little is known about the Cat, or 'Kitty' as he is sometimes known other than his fondness for trickery. He is often found hanging around the Gryphon's Wing Oathcircle, usually trying to push the Lady Trina away from Sir Tristan. Some of the more mundane rumours about him suggest his real name is James and that his father is a very rich man, who made his money through the Canberra Milk Company.
Current Status: Inactive

Dragon Girl(?)

There is a great deal of information known about this young woman - unfortunately most of it seems to conflict with the rest. She most frequently claims to be a Dragon Pooka, although such things are rarely dreamed possible. The scales, wings, penchant for gathering shiny things and ability to morph out into a giant dragon do seem to support this claim. But still - there must be some kind of catch. Some call her Carolyn, some call her Jill or Helen or Anne, some have just given up trying to figure out who she is and what her name is and just take her calming presence when offered. The things that seem most commonly spoken about her indicate that she has some sort of relationship with the Dauntain Baron Silas the Bat Pooka, and was a member of his Freehold before the Banality Wave of 1999. She still resides within that Freehold and is an almost constant companion to the new Baron Burt.
Current Status: Inactive

Erina Glimmerwing

Erina has had a sad past, losing her husband and child within weeks of one another a decade ago, the husband leaving of his free will, but the daughter was kidnapped. She has spent the intervening time searching for her stolen daughter, Nahren—wandering the length and breadth of the world, facing dangers untold, until she arrived in Canberra to find her beloved daughter willingly bound in cold iron and convinced that all Eshu should live chained so they weren't a danger to society. After the Lady of the Lake stepped in and healed Nahren, she has finally started to know some happiness.

Countess Madeliene Darcy ap Fiona

The Countess Madeliene came to Canberra from Adelaide, where she was known as one of the more powerful of the Unseelie Court that predominates there. Her dealings while ruling Canberra were trusted by some and not by others, but she did effect a great change in Fae society in Canberra, using her disciplinarian skill to bring the unruly mob into line. She was underdone at the hands of Count Sariel, when both were left alone while Unseelie and their "beasts" came to the fore.
Current Status: Undone

Dragon Girl(?)

Eno

Eno was friend and trusted protector to the Sluagh Shade. When Shade fell under the sleeping curse that associated at the time with the rulership of Canberra, Eno ran away, never to be seen again.
Current Status: Inactive

Great-Aunt Mima

Great-Aunt Mima, an artist and chef in the real world, originally came to Canberra to help her neice Charlie run a pub out near Tidbinbilla. But Charlie ran afoul of the homicidal Mary Burnett and was brutally murdered and posted to the Fae of Canberra in small boxes. Mima decided to stay in Canberra to help those Fae that were lost and helpless. With Sir Tristan's help she purchased a pub in Murrumbateman, which served as a haven for Changlings for several months. In February 2003, she began to act listless eventually leaving town with very little explanation.
Current Status: Inactive

Gwylyyr/John Stankovizk

Gwylyyr is the steadfast, practical and mercenary type of Nocker that is willing to be involved in any scheme, the crazier the better, particularly if he stands to gain from it. His human side, however, does not seem to be at peace with his Fae side—in fact, it seems to be an entirely different person.
Commoner Status: none

Hawthorn

Hawthorn is Raziel's often ignored companion, serving this troubled Sidhe as bodyguard, friend, squire and sometimes servant. While Raziel remembers little from their time together, it appears that Hawthorn has spent all the years since the Sidhe returned to this world searching for Raziel and swears he will continue to serve until his debt is paid seven times over.
Commoner Status: none

Josh Silvermane

Joshua is generally quiet, unless there is something that he strongly believes in. He is fascinated by birds, not at all fond of cats and he gets along very well with young of all kinds. He was a childling in the old Court, but when the Banality wave struck he was on the outskirts of Canberra and so rathe than being placed into a coma, his Fae seeming was put into a slumber, deep within him, only resurfacing when the Banality was removed from Canberra. He now serves as Squire to Count Sariel.
Status: Squire

Karl Jarlsson

Karl is old school when it comes to both honour and procedure, where knights were real knights and there was adventure around every corner. He came to Canberra to visit his friends in the Gryphon's Wing Oathcircle and share his tales with the Canberran court. He was so distressed at the court's general lack of propriety that he could not bear to live among them, but knowing they would need his knowledge, he decided to remain in the region and educate all those who would seek him out. He is also, sometimes, the owner of the magical, mystical "Sometimes Sword".
Current Status: Dead

Kevin Ramsay

Kevin was a Nocker Kinain, crippled early in life and unable to use his legs, that is until he was gifted by his inventor grandmother, Amberyl, with a fantastic chimerical suit that gave him the power of his hero, Spiderman. If it proved to be his undoing, as he was badly injured when it went insane and tried battling the Canberran Fae to stop a ritual aimed at removing the Banality from the town. He was taken to Adelaide for treatment, where he now remains with his family.
Current Status: Inactive

Kiren

Kiren serves as Squire to Sir Tristan and is a member of the Gryphon's Wing Oathcircle. He is the debonair type with a flair for the dramatic, and is always willing to join in on an adventure, particularly where there is something to be gained from it.
Status: Squire

Maelstrom

Maelstrom was known in the mortal world as Hugh Murphy, although few knew much about his mortal seeming other than the fact that he came from Darwin and had a brother called James that he seemed very worried about, and occasionally a little frightened of. He spent much of his time in Fae society, helping out with his odd creations. He gradually began slipping towards his dark side, as his breaches of the Escheat became more frequent. He ended up killing the Dauntain John Wright and his partner, Mary Burnett, and also the old Ghille Dhu that came to prosecute Orion/Spinifex. The Fae of Canberra tried to help him, but it was a case of too little, too late. He was eventually eaten by the Sphynx who at the time was found guarding Enverona Freehold. Noone ever found out why and his companion Fennix the cat eventually faded back into the Dreaming.
Current Status: Dead

Morning's Light on Fire Mountain

This cute little purple dragon, while only be three inches tall, has the heart the size of a mountain and the dedication to match. He appeared around about the time of a large Anime festival in Canberra and claims to be seeking to help to rescue the princess from the Black Knight. He has since successfully completed his quest and returned to his realm

Mary Burnett

Mary was, for many years, the partner of John Wright, a Pooka Dauntain. John had specially designed the perfect trap to torture Changelings—a circus where glamour overlaid Banality and special lures where designed to trap the unwary Fae. When John was killed by the Fae, Mary was left to her own devices and she proceeded to haunt the Fae who had taken away her perfect life. She cause great trouble in their lives, and was eventually struck down by Maelstrom and Yoshinomi after she killed Charlie the pub owner and mailed her back to them in tiny pieces. However, her legacy lives on in the form of a widespread newspaper advertisement: "Wanted Ms Dawn Tane, for hunting party in Canberra".
Current Status: Dead

Nahren

Nahren lived her short and troubled life fully within the Fae world. Captured when she was a toddler and stolen from Africa to Europe, she was caged, bound in cold iron and raised as an animal, serving her masters as a means of transport through the Dreaming. She was trained to believe that this was a proper way for Eshu to live. She was brought to Canberra by Sir Stavros Yosmedes and left there after his death. The Lady of the Lake healed her, but removed all memories of her previous life. She now lives with her mother, Erina Glimmerwing and seems to be a relatively normal Eshu childling. And here's a picture

Rhiannon Mordwyn ap Fiona

The Baroness Rhiannon began ruling Enverona freehold when she was a childling, taking over when Elsbeth left to marry Count Sariel. It was rumoured that she has a tragic past, abused by her father and then she was committed to an insane asylum in her early teens, shortly after the Banality Wave struck. After a brief period of serving Canberra as Baroness, once rescued from the asylum, she was captured by her Dauntain father and Undone by Banality at the hands of her brother. In the rescue that followed this, she was nearly killed, losing her hand to a fireman's axe. Orion married her mortal remains, Rita Kirzweiler. And here's a picture
Current Status: Undone

Robbo

Robbo was never one for the Fae world, entangled as he was in his mortal interests. He came from a working class background and in Canberra worked as a union representative for the CPSU. He gradually withdrew from Fae society, until his murder, at the hands of unknown assailants in February 2003.
Current Status: Dead

Count Sariel Rhys ap Fiona

Sariel ruled Canberra for over 30 years, while not ageing a day. He seemed to have suffered greatly from the ravages of Banality while in a coma in the Holt asylum. One of his first acts of returning was the Undoing of the Countess Madeleine, an act that was certainly not in keeping with his previous character. He has also refused to take the rulership of Canberra, instead serving as Regent until another can be found to take his place. He is married to Elsbeth the Ghille Dhu and has an infant son. And here's a picture
Status: Count

Scribbler Whistlegums

In the mortal world, Robert Du Prie works as a librarian. His love for books follows into his Fae life, in which he spends much of his time bringing truly to children through stories and imagination. His most treasured possession is an antique feathered quill that writes as he dictates. He occasionally whispers about one day starting an antique bookshop or perhaps a children's library. He at one point took on the role of Court Scribe at Caer Taghairm.

Shade

Shade is Druscilla's nephew and definitely the black sheep of the family. He followed the Gryphon's Wing Oathcircle around, causing trouble for them when he could. Some say he was always bad, but Druscilla swears he must have been lead astray. His bad deeds came to a close when he took the Barony of Enverona from the sleeping Baroness and took her place under the curse that prevailed at the time. He was released from this some months later when another took the Freehold's rulership from him. He was placed in his Aunt's care, but snuck out late one night and has not been seen since.
Current Status: Inactive

Baron Silas

Before the Banality wave in 1999, Baron Silas ruled the Court of Khantabahl for nearly 30 years. He had a Nocker wife who was killed by the same effect that put him in a coma for 3 years. He has risen from this to discover his ex-Squire, Redjack, ruling his Freehold and his Granddaughter the lizard pooka, claiming to be a dragon.
Status: Dead

Sir Stavros Yosmedes

Sir Stavros was a Ghille Dhu, sent to Canberra to ask for justice for Orion, known here as Spinifex, for crimes he had committed against his own people in Greece. He was not satisfied in this purpose, but was instead killed by a nightmare nervosa conjured by the Baroness Rhiannon. He left behind his staff and his 'pet' Eshu childling, Nahren. The Staff was eventually returned to his people.
Current Status: Dead

Taron Clawfist

Taron was born into nobility, as few of the Commoner Kiths are, as the son of the previous Count of Caer Taghairm. He served Count Sariel as Squire for several years before the Banality wave put him into a coma. On awakening, his personality seems a little changed and he now serves Baron Silas as Squire.
Status: Squire

Tirac

Few know much about Tirac other than his great regard for the Countess Madeliene. He served her in all things—in Canberra as Thane Captain—and following her Undoing, he claimed to have lost his True Love. He was last seen driving towards Adelaide with Madeliene's mortal seeming beside him.
Current Status: Inactive

Lady Trina of Cloud Castle

The lovely maid Trina is the perpetual damsel in distress, always innocently getting herself into trouble. She married the noble knight Sir Tristan on the misty shores of Enverona Freehold in February 2003 and with him was the founder of the Gryphon's Wing Oathcircle, a group sworn to find the magical mystical Eversword. It turned out, alas, that she was merely the seductive shell for a Ganconer, a soul-sucking predator out of the Dreaming, and was dealt with at length.

T'Till

T’till is a member of the Gryphon's Wing Oathcircle and long-time companion to Drusilla. In the mortal world he serves as a bodyguard to Lady Trina, but his true creative genius comes fourth through his music, in his role as a mentor and bard in Fae society. And here's a picture
Commoner Status: none

Yoshinomi

Yoshinomi was raised and trained in Japan as a heroic swordsman, following the Bushido Code. He lived in Canberra for a brief period, but was forced to leave when he was made an unwilling accomplice in the murder of Mary Burnett.
Current Status: Inactive

Zindel

Little was known about this fun-loving Satyr. In the mortal world he spent much of his time working as a DJ, while in Fae society he remained rather quiet.
