Gunther Biltimere, eighth son of a peasant-farmer Hit Points - 6
The eighth son of a peasant-farmer couple, Gunther had absolutely no prospects for inheritance. As such, he sought a position with the Keep's guard but was turned away because his club foot made him too clumsy. Despondent, he sat on the cobblestone street, stomach grumbling. He was about to return home when Clay Dreaver tripped over him as he stormed out of a shop. The two began talking and Clay offered him a job as bodyguard.

Clay Dreaver, former locksmith-journeyman Hit Points - 4
Clay had been paying for a pallet of straw in Gaven Loxtley's shop for four years, hoping to learn the locksmithing trade. But Gaven was a cruel master. Forced to hunt rats with a sling, Clay had learned little. Realizing he was being cheated, Clay confronted his master and was promptly thrown out of the shop with his meager belongings.
Speaking with Gunther, Clay noticed a group of well-dressed adventurers pass through the city's gates, and he resolved to seek his fortunes on his own terms. And having a bodyguard around would not be a bad idea, particularly one that agreed to take a mere 15% of the earnings.

Napius is an old hermit that until very recently had lived in the woods just outside of the keep occasionally travelling to the keep to sell the various herbal remedies and charms that he had made.

Anne is a tough and determined daughter of a local farmer. As some local youths have gone missing investigating the Caves, Anne has taken it upon herself to fight to find out the truth of what happened.
The Summerisle Farm grows wheat, so come harvest time Anne is pretty handy with a scythe. The family also raises a few pigs, cows, and chickens, but Anne's five older brothers take care of the animals. Anne is on fairly good terms with her family, though she has recently expressed her desire to be schooled in the business of the farm--only her brothers are ever allowed to trade their goods at market, and Anne is always forced to stay home. Her parents don't want her to leave home, so she leaves them a note and heads out at night. From Anne's view they don't really need her for daily farm stuff anyway. With finding the missing youths, she can really do something that makes a difference.

Gustav wants everything in life--the finest in food, clothes, wine, and women. He has none of this. He's always looking for the next con job find his fortune, but the idea of finding a great treasure has become increasingly appealing.
Gustav is the bastard son of the noble house of Garvasson. Kept at arm's length by his father and his father's wife, Gustav was nonetheless brought into the home as a ward. When Lady Garvasson produced no heirs, the Lord decided to legitimize young Gustav and make him his heir. Unfotunately, before this could happen Lord Garvasson died of an apparent foodborne illness. Despite all previous claims to love Gustav as her own son once he was legitimized, Lady Garvasson took the house fortune for her own and cast Gustav out into the streets. Gustav was just barely a man then, and he fell in with bad crowds--gamblers, thieves, and highwaymen. He's older and more bitter now. He carries himself with the posture of a nobleman, but hides a treacherous greed beneath it all.
Maybe he just knows too much for his own damn good. Middle aged, thinning hair, tall, lean, and alcoholic. He's been known to speak a few different languages when really loaded up. His stories have earned him a bit of a following in the local bars, but as his coin is running out he is looking to adventuring to earn some quick coin. Nobody knows how he came to this outpost at the edge of the mountains or why.

Gared Harth - woodcutter Hit Points - 4 AC - 6 (damaged mail shirt)
Gared was always a simple woodcutter living in balance with the land in a simple hut delivering wood to the local towns. He never wanted more than he had until his cousin Rodrick showed up from a job asking him for assistance, so Gared packed up what little he had and set out towards the borderlands. He hopes to be able to return to his nice simple life some day.

Adair was born from a tryst between his upper-class merchant father and his low-class tavern waitress mother. Born in a port city, his father had just returned from a lucrative venture and spent the night celebrating his success. Both Adair's parents were too well known around the port for his mother to conceal and his father to take the blame. So when Adair was born, his father made sure he was taken care of and placed in a cloister where he grew up learning the word of his god. When he was old enough, he decided to leave the cloister and try to find his father. His travels have lead him to the keep where someone there may know his father and send him on the next leg of his journey. But his funds are become low and he will have to find a way to pay for his journey.

Kennard is not the sharpest tool in the shed. Complex tasks have always evaded him and he is not very good with social situations. These two facts have led him to be the grave digger for the Keep. The work is strenuous but it is not over-whelming and Kennard has a lot of free time to assist others in the Keep with heavy lifting chores. But now Kennard is thinking of seeing the world outside of the Keep.
