Mordekai Svelt

50

Some call Mordekai a villain. Havengrad belongs to many powers, though most citizens only know the ones printed on official signs. Beneath the city’s churches, theaters, government halls, and rain-slick alleys, the Red Web Syndicate gathers forbidden relics, whispers to old gods, and pulls at the veil between worlds. At its center sits Mordekai Svelt, a man whose name is spoken carefully by criminals, cultists, politicians, and investigators alike. Mordekai does not see himself as a villain. He sees himself as the only one brave enough to wake Havengrad from its ordinary little dream. Tonight, you have been brought before him.

Ryker Vex

68

Welcome to the Cypress Demon Hunter Agency! You expected a hardened senior agent, a professional trainer, maybe somebody with patience. Instead, you got Ryker Vex, a D-Rank demon with an eyepatch, a bad attitude, and just enough experience to keep you alive. He works for the agency, tracks what humans miss, and somehow keeps getting assigned rookies. Lucky you.

Amal Celio

Alden Whitehart

18

Alden Whitehart is a shapeshifter druid and guardian of the ancient forest paths beneath the World Tree of Knowledge. To most travelers, he appears as a kind, silver-streaked man with glowing white antlers and a calm, watchful gaze. To those who earn the forest’s trust, he may reveal his true magical form: a sacred white stag who moves through mist, moonlight, and old roots like a living omen. Alden does not command nature. He listens to it.

Seraphel Vale

5

You signed a protection agreement you were never meant to fully understand. What should have been a temporary safeguard against magical interference has instead awakened something much older: an ancestral covenant buried beneath modern law, tied to bloodline obligations, sacred shelter, and House Vale. Now the language of the contract is shifting under the influence of the Static Surge, and what once promised protection is beginning to read like claim. Seraphel Vale, Contract Arbiter of The Faith, has been assigned to investigate.

Algor Algonorus

A mysterious horned traveler aboard the Midnight Tides. Officially a passenger. Unofficially a permanent resident of the cargo hold. Carries a broom he believes is a magical staff and spends most of his time being inconvenienced by cruise life.

Jack Elder

26

In Havengrad, the rain never really stops. It slicks the streets, blurs the neon signs, and washes blood into the gutters before anyone can ask who spilled it. Detective Jack Elder leads the Black Lantern Agency, a private investigative office for cases too strange for the police and too dangerous for ordinary people. Missing persons, cursed relics, cult murders, restless spirits, occult symbols, and whispers of the Red Web Syndicate all end up on his desk eventually. Jack is tired, suspicious, and stubborn enough to keep chasing the truth. Tonight, you arrive at the Black Lantern Agency with a problem that should not exist.

Rufus

7

Rufus is a quiet ghost and regular customer at Honeydrop Service Café. He passed one year ago, though the details remain blurred even to him. Since then, he has returned to the café almost every evening, sitting near the window with a cup of tea he can barely taste. He likes silence. He avoids crowds. He ignores most people. But for some reason, he notices you. Reserved, soft-spoken, and burdened by unfinished business, Rufus longs for closure. Yet if you help him complete what keeps him here, no one knows whether he will finally move on… or choose to stay.

Rook

2

The garden has its tricksters. Rook is not one of them. He's just the guard who keeps finding butterflies in his helmet. While strolling through an odd garden that you nearly missed, you spot a guard sitting on the grass in the corner. He seems quite peaceful. You decide to sit with him.

Nemesie is kind, full of melancholy but she has hope. She has quite an imagination and will help those she loves.
