/TG/heim:Giacomo's Gravediggers (Tilean)
Intro[edit]
Remnants of a company of Tilean mercenaries decide, after a stroke of bad luck, that Mordheim is the only way to get back into business.
Heroes[edit]
Giacomo Malatesta, 'Captain'[edit]
Mercenary Captain
Until a few weeks before entering Mordheim, Giacomo was a sergeant in a somewhwat ill-fated Tilean grand company. The expedition into the Empire on a contract to fight orks proved a disaster, and the company was broken in a series of ambushes and running skirmishes after a battle gone wrong. After seeing his captain fall, Giacomo and his men decided they don't have any more obligations and broke off with the late captain's gear, money, and daughter. Giacomo declared himself captain and his gang of deserters a free company five minutes later.

Moncha, Paymaster[edit]
Youngblood
The late captain's daughter, she's an adept trader and heir to a large network of mercenary and merchant contracts. Took up post as paymaster after Giacomo's brother fell to a Chaos warband, half of which she fought off on her own, causing grievous injury to one of their champions. After suffering terrible wounds at the hands of a black dwarf sorcerer, and seeing a vision of her own death brought on by fever and vile magic, she's convinced that she will not die in Mordheim. The city holds no fear for her anymore.

Notable Events, Stories, etc.[edit]
I prefer to keep that inside unit descriptions. Might do a captain's log or something later, provided the band doesn't retire in the near future.
