Leader of the Edgewatch Division. A hard-ass. Tough on crime, tougher on fresh recruits. His special unique magic item, a non-lethal club named Lawkeeper, is always within arms reach of him while he’s in his office.

Skinny is the Edgewatch’s best detective, and she doesn’t hesitate to say so herself. Having grown up on the streets of the Docks, she has a deep understanding of how crime works in the city and can teach rookies the basics of detective work if they win her approval.

With her rakish charm, trademark hat, and penchant for intradepartmental flings, Skinny is notorious around the district for breaking hearts, and she just might set her sights on one or more of the agents if they’re (un)lucky.

The beloved Sergeant Ollo has been a city guard in various Absalom precincts for longer than a human lifetime. Unflappable and placid to the point of occasionally falling asleep mid-conversation, Ollo nevertheless keeps Edgewatch Headquarters organized by turning Lieutenant Lavarsus’s tirades into concrete orders. He gripes constantly about the chaos of the festival, with the constant refrain that he’s getting too old for this business.

A meticulous officer who answers every order with a crisp salute, Corporal Batiste helps organize the district and keeps things moving. While not necessarily the most efficient cop, her attention to detail and desire to maintain a clean outward appearance (actually part of her religion as she worships The Resplendent Court pantheon and thus is not required to wear the Edgewatch uniform as per her religious beliefs, instead choosing to wear a crisp outfit similar to the uniform, but with its own unique flair.

Little is known about these two for now.

Ama Uomi has been in Absalom for about 2-3 months and has been beset with constant struggles. Being a foreigner, and one who cannot speak Taldane too well (relying on translators for the more precise communication needs of such an exacting building as the Dragonfly Pagoda), the Agents of Edgewatch discovered the poor quality of her supplies. Comparing her purchasing history with Hendrid’s may provide information on where the poor quality materials are coming from.

An up and coming (if somewhat naive) new hotel owner. New to the city of Absalom, and thus a stranger to the customs of the city (such as a rich man going to taverns more associated with the poor), he might prove a useful source of information on hotel construction and the supply of materials. Being a rich naive outsider, it is safe to assume he was likely swindled during his renovation of the Dreaming Palace Hotel.

Eunice is the young coming-of-age wizard apprentice. His wizard teacher has gone missing, but he claims Marin the Wizard kidnapped him. This turned out to be fault. Due to being underage, until a definitive answer can be found about his master, the child is stuck in the Edgewatch precinct. He can be contacted and talked with, but likely holds no valuable information.

She runs Marin’s Arcane Emporium, a small arcane shop for wizards. While specializing in low level gear, she can offer more academic services on the cheap.

Thanks to the Agents helping defuse the situation (literally) with Eunice, she has a favorable attitude to the Agents.

Special Action Unlocked: If you have the money, and it’s a low level magic item or artifact, Marin can study the item for a nominal fee. First time free as thanks for saving her shop. This action is done outside of the precinct’s knowledge.

Betram Softwhistle is a small man but his presence is overwhelming. Deeply patriotic, this man single-handedly funded a small mercenary brigade to defend the people of his local district during the siege from the necromancer army.

Note: His bank was directly named by Eunice as containing the bank account of his wizard master, Kemeneles

“Sensationalist” / “Truth Seeker” / “Hard-hitting Facts,” these are just a few phrases that Reginaled likes to describe himself and his “newspaper” called Eyes on Absalom. To virtually everybody else, they would prefer terms such as “Yellow Journalism” / “Tabloid Trash” / “Not worth the paper it’s printed on.” This newspaper favors scandalous stories involving death, police corruption, ineffective government, and saucy stories about the political elite. While a member of the nobility himself, he is in a situation where he has little to no chance of ever becoming the head of the family (think second cousin situation), so chooses to revel in his less than noble profession, angering many in the nobility and legal system alike.

Note: Vancaskerkin is usually quite busy attempting to dig up stories with the nobility that the Agents will not be encountering him often. Instead, all contacts are made through one of his assistants, typically Erlith Norlo [face of the newspaper to the public and executive assistant to Vancaskerkin] as Layton Bryne [chief editor] is a recluse that refuses to leave his office and be seen in public.

Handsome. Charismatic. Unabashedly human supremacist. This power broker is new on the block. New money. But to him, he’d prefer to be called “self-made.” This man seems larger than life. Tall. Long flowing hair. A booming voice. It is no wonder that so many people are willing to work with him. Unlike many others, he is loud and proud about his beliefs and ideas, even going so far as to have a tattoo of Aroden, the former God of Humans and founder of Absalom and the one who discovered the Starstone artifact (who has since disappeared, see the wiki if you want a deep dive on that, particularly the sections on Absalom, Ascension, Growth, Departure, Death for the parts relevant to Absalom’s lore).

Relevant to the Agents, Jeremin Hoff was the primary supplier of lumber to the Dragonfly Pagoda as he has deep ties into the construction business in Absalom.

Assassin. Relationship Counselor. Southern Belle. She is a member of the Garrote Sisterhood and is available for assignment, if the price is right.

And by assignment, she usually means assassinations. But, she loves a good high end ball or extravaganza and is willing to hired as a fake escort (actually hired as a bodyguard).
