| '''Arthur''' was the son of [[Alexias|Alexias,]] and the great+ grandfather of [[Plutarch]], who was only a child when Alexi joined the voyage that would ultimately lead to her death at the hands of the [[Tarrasque]]. Arthur was described as looking more like a bear than Alexi, foreshadowing that her bloodline would become more and more ursine. Alexi met with Arthur in the afterlife of [[The Beastlands#Krigala|Krigala]]. His mother promised him she would "be with you very soon" after her momentary demise at the hands of a [[Wyvern]]. Alexi was proven correct, deciding that while the other 4 vens would escape the island, Alexi would let herself stay behind, to be buried on the island, only to rejoin Arthur in the afterlife.

| <blockquote>Doc, did it work? Did you get answers? - Bosworth the night of the summoning</blockquote>'''Bosworth''' was a silver dragonborn described as a "Field Leader" of the [[Kistonian Institute of Strange Studies]], and one of the finest pilots in the realm. Of course, the reason why he flew so naturally had to do with the fact that he himself was a silver dragon. When not using his own wings, Bosworth flew a [[Aircraft#Sixer|Sixer]], which the team named the '''''Wings of Fate.'''''
| |
|
| |
| Bosworth had a working friendship with [[Presidith]], having known him for centuries on the island.
| |
|
| |
| Bosworth was taken down by a large white dragon in the skies over Kiston, the [[The Fated Five|Fated Five]] later encountered the same white dragon inside the caves of [[The Crystal City]], where it almost finished them off as well, but was outsmarted thanks to the team's knowledge of Dragon politics and dynamics, scaring off the dragon with a well placed illusion of Jatil Jivelg.

| == Cat-5 == | | == Cat-5 == |
| '''Cat-5''' was a warforged, and the last person the [[The Fated Five]] met before locking the island. Cat-5 was a crystal harvester in the bottom floors of the Crystal City. He received conflicting psionic information from '''The Network''', good intel from Tuning Fork, but bad intel from the MotherBoard, ultimately leaving him in a tenuous relationship with the characters. They won over his favor by giving him all of their remaining Kiston crystals that they had harvested.
| |
|
| |
| He offered to escort them out of the city and to a safe haven and port for escaping the island, rather than lock it down. Though the team fought with each other about what to do, they ultimately decided to embrace their destiny, saying goodbye to Cat-5 and descending into the '''Spawn Hole''' containing the [[The Kalachakra|Kalachakra]]

| <blockquote>"Are you crazy? We had a plan!

Fermi was described as pale-skinned, gaunt, and heavily scarred all along his face and body, he held a wise and elderly weight to his words.

| Fermi suggested a plan of attack to the team that would let them avoid getting caught in the Draco Orc sacrificial ceremonies at the cost of his life, but unfortunately, the still-developing Venship acting rashly after [[Hoppert Wellingdale|Hoppert]] lured a Wyvern to his and [[Alexias|Alexias']] location. Alexi drew first blood when a Wyvern swooped near them, causing a battle against the full force of the Draco-Orc clan. Ultimately this led to the death of two Venship members, and Fermi would ultimately be sacrificed the next evening. Promissa did try to bring Fermi back from the dead, but ultimately his body was too destroyed and eaten by the Wyvern.

|
| == [[Fork]] == | | == Jatil Jivelg == |
| Full name, '''Tuning Fork,''' was a member of the platoon of Warforged led by '''Liam''' (see below) that encountered [[The Fated Five|the descendants]] after they left.
| |
| == [[Jatil Jivelg]] ==
| |
| '''Jatil Jivelg''' (draconic for Cruel Tormenter) was a Black Dragon and the main villain of the campaign.

| == Liam == | | == Liam == |
| Full name, '''Caeruleum''' (not to be confused with the substance [[Caeruleam|Caeruleum]]), was a warforged. He was encountered by [[The Fated Five]] after they crash landed on the island. He and a small platoon of warforged tried to explain to the Five that they shouldn't go into the crystal city and lock the island away, as that would be dooming everyone on it, including countless warforged, from ever going home. Liam had a bad relationship with the [[Kistonian Institute of Strange Studies]] after he felt they "used" warforged in order to further a mission that was against their interests. | | Full name, '''Kairuleum''' (not to be confused with the substance [[Kairuleum]]), was a warforged. |
| | |
| After the players revealed their intention to turn the wheel, Liam led an ambush against the players, tricking them into all circling up with their backs to the Warforged, under the pretense of "a secret ritual to find the wheel". That ambush was foiled when a very savvy [[Plutarch]] realized the trap and began a counter attack against the robots. Some of Liam's companions ran and escaped the attack, but Liam himself would perish to the sunbolts of Thimble.
| |
| | |
| One of Liam's fellow warforged, '''Fork''' (see above) called Liam a "tight lipped leader" with a distrust of the fleshy folk.

| When Edgar died, he got to see his father '''Mathias''' again in the afterlife. His father described it as "Everything here is so perfect. I have access to all the knowledge I could ever want. It is eternal satisfaction." But Edgar and his father wouldn't spend much more time together, as Edgar's soul was "still a little kid" with many years ahead of it. Mathias wouldn't yet know, however, that Edgar's soul would go on to live for nearly another 1000 years. Mathias was sure that Edgar would one day return, his mission on the material plane (of retrieving the artifact) completed.

| '''Nuri''' was Presidith's mother, briefly appearing towards the end of the campaign when the ancestor characters returned Presidith to the Crystal City. In return for their generous act, and for saving her baby, Nuri escorted the team safely to one of the city's '''Spawn Holes''' where their creation, [[The Kalachakra]], had fallen in and broke.

| <blockquote>"Dr. Tompion used to be a kind man. But his dreams overtook his humanity." - Liam </blockquote>'''Dr. Thomas Tompion''' was the leading researching on the ill-fated experiment that would eventually bring [[The Fated Five]] to Kiston. He spearheaded most experiments at the [[Kistonian Institute of Strange Studies]] that involved the possibility of re-locking Kiston.

| | |
| He said that he had already lost too many people he loved, including his daughter, to the dragons, and would put everything on the line, including his own life, if it meant finally stopping them for good.
| |
| | |
| Tompion was aware that locking the island would mean locking any [[Warforged]] on the island there, and didn't have a strong opinion on what the greater consequences were for the whole warforged race.

An inventor with the [[Kistonian Institute of Strange Studies]], he's very frazzled and easy to love, despite his nutty behavior.
