Ulder Ravengard	Grand Duke	Elturel	Flaming Fist	MARSHAL	Ulder Ravengard
Belynne Stelmane	Once a vigorous and formidable politician, Duke Belynne Stelmane recently suffered a seizure that left her with a partially paralyzed face and slowed speech. In truth, a mind flayer provoked the duke's "seizure" when it took mental possession of her. Now Stelmane wages a silent war against the mind flayer's influence, biding her time until she can find a way to signal for aid or regain her will. Not even Stelmane's aides are aware of her secret struggle, though they cover for her as best they can.	Stelmane mansion
Dillard Portyr	Duke Dillard Portyr was once a respected businessman, but after a string of sour deals, he pulled back from his investments. Now he uses his time to enjoy the comforts that his wealth and title provide him.

Portyr mansion
Thalamra Vanthampur	Duke	Vanthampur Villa
Nine-Fingers Keene	Nine-Fingers is the unassuming gufidmaster of the only thieves' guild in Baldur's Gate. She climbed its ranks with incredible speed and maintains her position by being coolly ruthless. True to her name, she is missing the littlest I finger on her right hand. Few people know how she lost it, and Nine-Fingers never shares secrets unless it profits her. It's said that Nine-Fingers "never gets angry, but always gets even." ihis saying is only a fragment of the truth. In reality, she is patient, unflappable, and level-headed. Nine-Fingers speaks softly and chooses her words carefully. She doesn't threaten or plead-she doesn't need to. A few words in the right ear can accomplish virtually anything she wants.

Ettvard Needle	owner of Baldur's Mouth. Needle carefully ensures that the paper is useful enough to the government that it's never in their interest to shut it down, yet devotes the rest of the paper to news the government might prefer hushed up, from aristocratic scandal and evidence of corruption to straight talk about various threats to the city, always with a healthy dose of anti-elite rhetoric.

How Mother Aramina learns of individuals' distress and under what circumstances she offers free room and board in her facility is something of a mystery, but as of yet, none have discovered any sinister angle to her work.

Yssra Brackrel	lives above Danthelon's Dancing Axe. Wyrm's Crossing. The young, dark-haired wizard has been known to speak out against the patriars from time to time. Characters interviewing Brackrel notice pigment stains on her hands and face and that she smells of charcoal and essential salts, all signs pointing to alchemy. If the characters demand to search her room, Brackrel refusesmto let them in without a writ. Nothing in her apartment links her to the Guild or anything evil. That said, strange alchemy items do fill her shelves.				neutral female human mage

Fruward came by his strange injury due to a disagreement with members ofthe Builders Guild. What Fruward was told would be a late-night negotiation over work contracts in the dry dock where he worked turned out to be an ambush.

Norold Dlusker	" Lord Norold backed the wrong side when he supported Grand Duke Valarken during the latter's attempt to seize power as the lone ruler of Baldur's Gate in the mid-1400s. The usurper and his lycanthrope allies were driven from the city,[2] and his allies were left to face the disdain of the remaining Baldurian patriar. The following years were not kind to the Dlusker family. After Norold's elder sister died from mummy rot, her husband and a majority of the family's wealth disappeared north to the city of Waterdeep. The Dluskers were left destitute and disgraced and Lord Norold himself had significant debts to pay off"	Dlusker Mansion	Dlusker			MiBG

Wyllyck Caldwell	"CaIdwell is a modest man who recognizes that his alchemical research would not have been possible without his family's legacy, and that his business success is due to Abelea's management sense. He ignores invitations to patriars' galas, because he believes his peers are too concerned with their own pleasure and too removed from the troubles ofthe Lower and Outer cities. In leisure times, he prefers to read in his study or discuss alchemy with colleagues at tables in the Wide."					MiBG

Brevek Faenor	man in his late forties, officially oversees the shrine. For some time now, he has been lax in his duties, allowing use of the shrine to secular performers and anyone who has news to spread. Oghma is the god of knowledge, inspration, and ideas, and the shrine was built to be a place to share such things. However, the loremaster has had his eye oii the High House of Wonders since he moved to Baldur's Gate. Thwarted in his recent attempt to gain control of Gond's temple, Faenor can now be found studying books in Gond's library or near the Unrolling Scroll glumly listening to Baldurians complain about the shrine's posted speaking schedule. Mean while, Faenor keeps his ear to the ground as he awaits another chance to gain the highest seat in the High House ofWonders.		Church of Oghma	Loremaster Most High		MiBG

Reavus Moore	"merchant, father of Lenta Moore, s solidly in the Guild's pocket-and his support would certainly be lost if something tragic happened to his daughter and the Guild was implicated. Nine-Fingers is now leaning toward pulling a few strings to get Lenta reassigned to a less bothersome post or promoted to a position where she can't interfere so directly with Guild interests."
Lorroakan	a young and short-tempered mage known for having expensive tastes and a perpetual shortage of funds. makes his living by enchanting clothes to repel moisture and mildew, a practical but humble pursuit that suggests his mastery of magic is not extensive. This, in turn, might explain why he has not reopened the tower's upper floors, confining his own activities to the first and a small portion of the second floor.	Ramazith's Tower			neutral male human mage,
Orburt Lewel	The late Orburt Lewel, an eccentric textiles merchant, erected the statue of Beloved Ranger about seventy years ago.
Osgur Hallorn "The Fetcher"	"The Fetcher is an unflappable, obese, middle-aged man named Osgur Hallorn. This walrus-mustached puppetmaster runs gangs ofstreet urchins as spies and couriers. The latter fetch and deliver items for the Fetcher's high-paying clients. The Fetcher is a man whose big head, hands, and shoulders make his bulging belly not seem so protuberant. He has a large, beaky nose. Half his scalp is covered in messy, dark curls; the other half is naked except for a gnarled, old burn scar. He rarely shows fear or anger, preferring to be jovial; he drawls calmly in the face of danger. The choreographer of urchins spends most hours each day in the Undercellar, where he has a back-corner office. Gangs of waifs and rascals drift about the city doing his bidding, which includes spying on figures both prim and feral and delivering items that range from flowers to rubies. The Fetcher is always armed and protected. His walking stick fires darts from one end when he triggers certain studs. Shadowing their provider, the man who has kept them fed and clothed when no one else would, are a score of acrobatically vicious street youths who carry knives fashioned from glass shards. While the Fetcher is in his office, a dozen or so devoted cats perch on an unlit lamp wheel above his head and pounce on anyone who menaces him."		guild	Kingpin		MiBG

Merilyn Allaryr
Haxilion Trood	Haxilion Trood is a world-weary, jaded, cynical, sarcastic-to-the-point-of-cruelty, sour-faced, and sourthinking man. He never forgets a face or a detail, and his reputation for rudeness is born from his blunt, hon est-to-the-core observations. The dukes unanimously appointed Trood as purse master. It is the hardest position to earn in Baldur's Gate, because everyone in this merchant city has to trust the purse master with all the gold. The office's record-keeping and bureaucracy are the most exten sive in the city. Purse Master Trood manages tax and toll collection and records; investment of city funds; and distribution of pay to all city offices and officials, including the Watch. The purse master is also respon sible for ensuring that the Flaming Fist takes no more than its proper share ofthe taxes it collects			Purse Master		MiBG
Gilligunn			guild		neutral evil female rock gnome spy
Hanthan Marbrent	a horse dealer (who also deals in mules and oxen) in the Upper City. Sarcastic, sharp-tongued, respected, and well established, he's known to be adept at horse doctoring and at throwing knivesthanks to a youth that is even wilder than he lets on. He's still a violent, calm-in-crisis, dangerous man, who is able and willing to do dirty work if the Cult desires. Marbrent is burly, has tattoos of galloping horses on his forearms, is balding, and has straw-yellow bushy eyebrows and a tiny chin-tuft of a beard. His eyebrows and very dark blue eyes give him the appearance of continually glaring or staring hard.	Margates	Cult of the Dragon
Anthaela Grimmund	is a young, pudgy, stooped-over woman of nondescript looks (dirty brown hair worn long; hazel eyes) and dress. She is a trusted and longtime worker in Tannaertho's Handyworks, a crammed and dingy but popular shop that sells tools and knives on a narrow, crowded cross street (that is, east-west or parallel to the river, not descending north-south to the Chionthar). She's diligent and polite, knows where in the chaos of the shop a particular type, size, and finish (hue of handle or hilt) of item can be found, and is far more observant than she seems to be in person. Anthaela has a frighteningly superb memory and good hearing, but her eyesight is starting to become close-focused (nearsighted) due to her work. Her weaknesses are chocolate and romantic gallantry.

Gunnar Thrune	a transplant from Gundarlun Island in the cold northern sea, is the loud-voiced and ever-smiling temple patriarch. Boisterous to a fault, Thrune can be found wherever betting is fast and furious, egging on gamblers with shouts and hearty backslapping. In times of crisis in the Gate, Thrune immediately encourages and presides over bets regarding the involved parties, his actions effectively proclaiming the temple's neutrality	The Lady's Hall,	Church of Tymora			MiBG
Emryl Elarrask	laconic, horse-faced, veteran Harper agent , Elarrask trains young Harpers by letting them spy on him and then report what they observed-and at any time, two or as many as six novice Harpers, not known to the cult, will be watching him.		Harpers
Beltaegur Stauntun	a very rich but lowborn shipping merchant of Baldur's Gate. Stauntun is bedeviled by the whispering ghosts of his dead wife and father, who both constantly criticize his investments and decisions, and give him "firm and fierce" advice, but often disagree heatedly with each other. These ghosts must be destroyed, but replaced by cult-controlled voices of the unseen that Stauntun will believe are his father and wife still haunting him-and will obey, however grudgingly, in making key investments and decisions that will benefit the cult. No cult operatives who have sufficient skills and power can be spared from more important cult activities, so third parties (presumably in Baldur's Gate) must be found, and some means of subverting them decided upon and successfully deployed.
Armuld Gloathen	wandering-wits old wizard He seems to spend much of his dotage trying to breed and train griffons, and reputedly knows a spell that allows him to temporarily take griffon shape; could this be of use to the cult

Enom Tobun	Tobun has driven freight wagons across Faerun for the past forty years, from Waterdeep to Calimport and from Baldur's Gate to Hillsfar. He is a font of stories and legends, but it's impossible to tell the truth from fiction in his tales. If anyone challenges him on the truth of a story, he grows argumentative, then sullen and vengeful. As long as a traveler stays on his good side, Tobun is a wonderful traveling companion.				Male Lightfoot Halfling Teamster	Hoard of the Dragon Queen
Leda Widris	Widris is as honest and courageous as mercenaries come. She has spent many years in the south and now wants to see the snows and frozen seas of the far north and experience what a truly cold wind feels like.				Female Human Guard	Hoard of the Dragon Queen
Losvius Longnose	Although Losvius's nose is respectably large, even for a halfling, the appellation Longnose was hung on him for a different reason: he is curious about everything, including other people's business, and especially other people's embarrassing secrets. Losvius doesn't poke his nose where it's not wanted in a search for blackmail material. He is just overpoweringly curious about what other people don't talk about. If he is along, there's a good chance one or more of the characters will find him nosing through their belongings when he thought their backs were turned.				Male Lightfoot Halfling Teamster	Hoard of the Dragon Queen
Noohar Serelim	Noohar may be the most articulate person the characters have ever met. Speech springs from him like music from the harp of Milil. The fact that he seldom has anything to say never seems to stop him from talking or others from listening.				Male Moon Elf Merchant	Hoard of the Dragon Queen
Selvek Serelim	communicates only through sign languag				Male Moon Elf Merchant	Hoard of the Dragon Queen
Orvustia Esseren	Esseren grew up in the farmland outside Baldur's Gate, and this is her first trip more than two miles away from home. She is smart, tough, and talented with both spear and bow, but she knows nothing of the world beyond her aunt's farm or of people who deal dishonestly. Her aunt, a wise woman, believes this trip will be good for her.				Female Human Guard	Hoard of the Dragon Queen
Sulesdeg the Pole (	Among his tribe in his homeland of the Shaar, Sulesdeg's name means "tall as a lodge pole." On the Sword Coast, he is just known as "the Pole."

Dovis is a man of few words, but he is devoted to protecting others. He was not very close friends with Markus, though Markus recently shared his concerns with Dovis. What They Want. Dovis thinks he could have done more to help Markus, so he wants to get to the truth now, even if it's too late. Old School Soldier. Dovis is a soldier from a long line of soldiers. He is responsible, stern and quiet.		Watch		LG male human veteran
Daryn Falburn	Daryn is of the few members of the Flaming Fist leadership still trying to maintain order in the city. She is a strikingly tall human woman with bright red hair and piercing green eyes. Blunt and to the point in both word and deed, she is unwilling to waste time making friends. What They Want. Daryn is dedicated to her duties and to the city. It's Not Personal. Daryn doesn't let emotions or personal feeling cloud her judgment on Flaming Fist matters."		Flaming Fist	FLAME	veteran
Bolnata Hallgate	"Bolnata is a female half-elf who has been married to Markus for over twenty-two years. While the love had largely faded from their relationship some years ago, Bolnata still very much cared for Markus and is clearly distraught at his death. She is a well-dressed and well-spoken native of Baldur's Gate, easily mistaken for an Upper City lady. She's proud of how she and Markus built a good life for themselves. What They Want. Bolnata wants to help with the investigation, but she also longs to be left alone to grieve. Genuine Grief, Shameful Relief. Bolnata is truly heart-broken about her husband's death, yet there is some relief in knowing that she won't have to move out of Baldur's Gate as he had wanted."				NG female human commoner
Grant Yoreling			Cult of Zariel		LE male human cult fanatic
Harwin Lamlin	"Harwin is a thin, tall, grey-haired man in his early fifties. He is mild-mannered and unassuming. Harwin has been friends with Bolnata and Markus for years. His fondness for Bolnata was innocent until Gharizol began to twist and manipulate it. The devil told Harwin that Bolnata would be his if he proved his talent to her, and if Markus was no longer in the picture. The voice pushed until Harwin was convinced that he had to kill Markus. To Harwin, it then made perfect sense for him to kill Markus and to scrawl a message in Infernal, the meaning of which he didn't even understand. It also sounded reasonable to leave for a few days, allowing Bolnata to mourn and then return and take her for his own.What They Want. When Harwin's mind isn't clouded by Gharizol, he's a simple man, satisfied with his simple life and his shop. An Unwitting Victim. Before Gharizol's haze fades, Harwin believes everything that has transpired is perfectly normal. He makes no attempt to justify or hide it, but is consumed by regret and remorse"
Zook Pilwicken	"Harwin's apprentice has worked at the shop for over ten years. Unlike Harwin, who lives upstairs, Zook comes in every morning. He's friendly, outgoing and always looking for ways to help improve the business. He was taken on at least in part to help balance Harwin's slightly aloof nature and make customers feel welcome. What They Want. Zook is happy to help the characters, but he wouldn't ever think to suspect Harwin of wrongdoing. Service with a Smile. Zook is courteous and accommodating."				N gnome commoner
Thomar Belkis	"Thomas is the leader of the hired guards for the merchant caravan. Experienced and calm, he knows the capabilities of those who serve him and is careful to not endanger them.What They Want. Thomas wants to do his job, get paid and get back home.

Vitana Moore			Magistrate		LE female human noble
Benn Hithlin	"Benn is an aging male dwarf and a manip in the Flaming Fist, though his first loyalty has always been to himself. His silver beard and gray eyes mirror his stony heart. His motto is "strike first and check for valuables while nobody's looking". What They Want. Hithlin seeks personal power, influence, wealth, and control in every situation, no matter the cost to others. All About Me. Hithlin joined the Flaming Fist ten years ago after watching a crooked gauntlet beat a merchant and make off with his gold. It's a career move he's never regretted."		Flaming Fist	Manip	NE male dwarf knight
Tradran Foremantle	Tradran is a powerfully built male human with blonde hair and brown eyes. A manip in the Flaming Fist, he is loyal to Daryn Falburn, partly out of respect for her leadership and partly because of his personal feelings for her. What They Want. Foremantle lives to protect the people of the Lower City and to convince Daryn Falburn that he's a man she can count on when all hell breaks loose. Protect and Serve. Foremantle finds corruption intolerable and takes great pleasure in rooting it out wherever it appears."		Flaming Fist	Manip
Lovet Utich	A ruddy, auburn-haired human with gray eyes, Lovet is a junior cultist tasked with spying and running errands for more senior cult members. What They Want.

He rarely shows fear or anger, preferring to be jovial; he drawls calmly in the face of danger. The choreographer of urchins spends most hours each day in the Undercellar, where he has a back-corner office. Gangs of waifs and rascals drift about the city doing his bidding, which includes spying on figures both prim and feral and delivering items that range from flowers to rubies. The Fetcher is always armed and protected. His walking stick fires darts from one end when he triggers certain studs. Shadowing their provider, the man who has kept them fed and clothed when no one else would, are a score of acrobatically vicious street youths who carry knives fashioned from glass shards. While the Fetcher is in his office, a dozen or so devoted cats perch on an unlit lamp wheel above his head and pounce on anyone who menaces him."

Name	Haxilion Trood
Description	Haxilion Trood is a world-weary, jaded, cynical, sarcastic-to-the-point-of-cruelty, sour-faced, and sourthinking man. He never forgets a face or a detail, and his reputation for rudeness is born from his blunt, hon est-to-the-core observations. The dukes unanimously appointed Trood as purse master. It is the hardest position to earn in Baldur's Gate, because everyone in this merchant city has to trust the purse master with all the gold. The office's record-keeping and bureaucracy are the most exten sive in the city. Purse Master Trood manages tax and toll collection and records; investment of city funds; and distribution of pay to all city offices and officials, including the Watch. The purse master is also respon sible for ensuring that the Flaming Fist takes no more than its proper share ofthe taxes it collects

Name	Hanthan Marbrent
Description	a horse dealer (who also deals in mules and oxen) in the Upper City. Sarcastic, sharp-tongued, respected, and well established, he's known to be adept at horse doctoring and at throwing knivesthanks to a youth that is even wilder than he lets on. He's still a violent, calm-in-crisis, dangerous man, who is able and willing to do dirty work if the Cult desires. Marbrent is burly, has tattoos of galloping horses on his forearms, is balding, and has straw-yellow bushy eyebrows and a tiny chin-tuft of a beard. His eyebrows and very dark blue eyes give him the appearance of continually glaring or staring hard.

Name	Anthaela Grimmund
Description	is a young, pudgy, stooped-over woman of nondescript looks (dirty brown hair worn long; hazel eyes) and dress. She is a trusted and longtime worker in Tannaertho's Handyworks, a crammed and dingy but popular shop that sells tools and knives on a narrow, crowded cross street (that is, east-west or parallel to the river, not descending north-south to the Chionthar). She's diligent and polite, knows where in the chaos of the shop a particular type, size, and finish (hue of handle or hilt) of item can be found, and is far more observant than she seems to be in person. Anthaela has a frighteningly superb memory and good hearing, but her eyesight is starting to become close-focused (nearsighted) due to her work. Her weaknesses are chocolate and romantic gallantry.

Name	Beltaegur Stauntun
Description	a very rich but lowborn shipping merchant of Baldur's Gate. Stauntun is bedeviled by the whispering ghosts of his dead wife and father, who both constantly criticize his investments and decisions, and give him "firm and fierce" advice, but often disagree heatedly with each other. These ghosts must be destroyed, but replaced by cult-controlled voices of the unseen that Stauntun will believe are his father and wife still haunting him-and will obey, however grudgingly, in making key investments and decisions that will benefit the cult. No cult operatives who have sufficient skills and power can be spared from more important cult activities, so third parties (presumably in Baldur's Gate) must be found, and some means of subverting them decided upon and successfully deployed.

Description	Although Losvius's nose is respectably large, even for a halfling, the appellation Longnose was hung on him for a different reason: he is curious about everything, including other people's business, and especially other people's embarrassing secrets. Losvius doesn't poke his nose where it's not wanted in a search for blackmail material. He is just overpoweringly curious about what other people don't talk about. If he is along, there's a good chance one or more of the characters will find him nosing through their belongings when he thought their backs were turned.

Description	"Harwin is a thin, tall, grey-haired man in his early fifties. He is mild-mannered and unassuming. Harwin has been friends with Bolnata and Markus for years. His fondness for Bolnata was innocent until Gharizol began to twist and manipulate it. The devil told Harwin that Bolnata would be his if he proved his talent to her, and if Markus was no longer in the picture. The voice pushed until Harwin was convinced that he had to kill Markus. To Harwin, it then made perfect sense for him to kill Markus and to scrawl a message in Infernal, the meaning of which he didn't even understand. It also sounded reasonable to leave for a few days, allowing Bolnata to mourn and then return and take her for his own.What They Want. When Harwin's mind isn't clouded by Gharizol, he's a simple man, satisfied with his simple life and his shop. An Unwitting Victim. Before Gharizol's haze fades, Harwin believes everything that has transpired is perfectly normal. He makes no attempt to justify or hide it, but is consumed by regret and remorse"
