Aeus NPCs
Captain Edward "Metal" Roberts
- Race
- Warforged Swashbuckler/Dread Pirate, Male personality
- Hometown
- Mechanus
- Alignment
- Chaotic Good
- Notable quote
- "Fortunately, I have this eyepatch that I've never used before."
--
- Edward is one of the first Warforged sent Aeus by Karn, the Golem God. Despite his loud and bombastic manner, the Captain values peace and and a quiet lifestyle more than anything else, which is why he chose a career as an 'honest' Free Trader rather than an adventurer. Unfortunately, his chaotic nature, horribly bad luck, abysmal memory, and tendency to take the highest-paying and thus most dangerous jobs conspire to heap trouble on him wherever he goes. His sense of justice, although strong, is rarely aroused.

--
- An Armadan through and through, Iji prides himself on adapting to new situations, most of which are the Captain's fault. He
joinedwas drafted on to Metal's crew after flaunting his talent at repairing and rigging complex machinery. He serves as chief engineer / captain's bitch, and normally stays on the ship if the crew goes on a job.

- Hometown
- Armada
- Alignment
- Lawful Good
- Notable quote
- ". . ."
--
- A withdrawn religious scholar imprisoned and experimented upon by Yxlith. Every day of her incarceration, she prayed to Akroma to grant her release. Over time, this prayer, in combination with the illithid foolishly allowing Saphra to browse the arcane library, granted her enough power to summon a Justice Archon. Escape was swift and effortless. Since joining the crew of the Odyssey at the Captain's insistence, Saphra, although still reticent, has began to emerge from her shell and embrace her destiny as a Paladin of Akroma, the Angel of Wrath.

--
- Known as "The Ears of Armada", Whiskers owns and manages a self-titled tavern in the heart of the city. He serves fair-priced food and drink from every corner of the world, and even a few choice goods from off-plane. It is said he hears every rumor passed, every word of gossip spoken, and that he can pass that knowledge on. . .for a price.
- It is also said that Whiskers himself used to be an adventurer in his glory days, that he now lives vicariously though the adventurers that now pour in and out of his establishment, and that every once in a while, he dusts off his flute and plays the songs of old. . .

- Hometown
- Armada
- Alignment
- Neutral Evil
- Notable quote
- "Don't cross a kenku. We're watching."
--
- Leader of a considerable nest of kenku, the paranoid Rakuku is the leader of both the assassin's guild and a massive illegal trading enterprise. He believes that he embodies the "true" face of Armada: sly, cruel and willing to provide nearly any service if the price is right. He provides up-and-coming adventurers with their first jobs, and is owed many debts across the world. He has spies everywhere. He is watching.
Andre Galette
- Race
- hobgoblin crusader, male
- Hometown
- Armada
- Alignment
- Lawful good
- Notable quote
- "Armada may be ugly, but she's mine, and I will protect her."
--
- Standing just over seven feet tall, Andre is a menacing figure. Garbed in heavy mithral armor, he patrols the shadiest districts of Armada, making sure the Unspoken Law is upheld.

- Eblis is the leader of Armada's aerial navy, and once commanded the mightiest ship in the skies, The Indomitable. Unfortunately, the Indomitable was recently dominated and sank by a kobold ship, The Ire of kurtulmak. Eblis was quite the swashbuckler back in his prime, but now dabbles mostly in spellcraft. Him and Captain Roberts have some sort of relationship from the distant past, but Eblis seems unwilling to discuss it.
Lunk

- warforged fighter/expert, male personality
- Hometown
- Mechanus
- Alignment
- True Neutral
- Notable quote
- ". . .I can fix that!"
--
- Lunk, another warforged sent to Aeus by Karn, has developed a great passion for the building and rebuilding of airships and constructs. He says it brings him closer to understanding his own origins, and the possibility of altering the warforged race for the better. His current project is the mass production of gith-built gate-engines in order to hopefully settle the increasingly unpopular war with the City of Brass. He can always be found below Armada, in the cavernous dry-dock.
Umberto Muramme
- Race
- human commoner, male
- Hometown
- Ollam
- Alignment
- chaotic neutral
- Notable quote
- "Hon hon hon!"
--
- A traveling merchant of questionable taste, Umberto wanders the corners of Aeus, bringing strange and bizarre trinkets to the masses. He enjoys virtual diplomatic immunity, having forged partnerships with Captain Roberts, Admiral O'Donnell, Rakuku, and numerous other powerful figures. He has no airship to call his own, instead relying on his connections to secure passage on commercial and cargo ships. He uses his Flying Carpet when no such passage is available.
Bookwyrm
- Race
- great wrym silver dragon/sacred warder of Bahamut, male
- Hometown
- unknown
- Alignment
- Lawful Good
- Notable quote
- "No creature, great or small, can hope to change the entire world. I can only hope I have done my part."
--
- The enigmatic silver wyrm known as "Bookwyrm" resides in an immense library nestled in the Temtort mountains. The library is his hoard, knowledge his treasure. Anyone seeking knowledge for the sake of knowledge is welcomed, those who seek knowledge to shackle and dominate the weak are met with mighty resistance.
- Although reading is his greatest joy, he has been known to adventure in his own way; facing down dragons, tyrannical arcanists and even the avatars of gods. He refuses to harm children, and adopts the eggs and wyrmlings of slain dragons, raising them to follow the teachings of Bahamut. Krekon, Cybil, Vaktar and Luminia are among his numerous adopted children.
- Bookwyrm has never revealed his true name to a non-dragon, he smugly believes it to be unpronounceable by inferior tongues.
