Camilla Rosen
Age: 19
Occupation: Efferis Fortress Floor Manager

Camilla is the sole remaining heir to the Rosen family's ownership of the Efferis Fortress, and they won't even let her inherit yet - but she's not worried about that right now. While her brother may have official control of the fortress affairs, she's still very much calling the shots. Right now, she's acting as the lobby floor manager, and having the time of her life. It's like hosting a party - announcing arrivals and departures at the air dock, commentating on the latest lumia hauls, celebrating successful sales, coordinating with the entertainment department so that the music and food keep coming . . . Life pretty much couldn't get any better.

Conlan Sterling
Age: 24
Occupation: Fortress Overseer and Airship Captain

Conlan's only twenty-four and has already done it all: ace airship pilot, competitive airship racer, even a crown agent for a little while! But then, life moves fast for the wealthy and resourceful of Loteara. Right now, he's helping his sister run the fortress, as well as making tons of cash mining lumia out of the Monument and selling it to the Lotearan secret service. Rumor has it he's about to set a top earnings record, too - enough that he can take a break and get back into racing. Now, if he could only get his kind-of-ex-girlfriend to start being civil again, he just might be set for life . . .

Mattica Browning
Age: 21
Occupation: Airship Mechanics Contractor

Okay, so Matt's had better luck. It's not like it's her fault that cheat of a Disdairan prince forgot to expunge her criminal record in Costa Rhial! So now she's stuck without a passport, under contract with a boondocks airship maintenance repair shop, or else they'll report her to the authorities. That is, unless a certain pilot can buy her contract . . . Because The Best in the Business should not be stuck working in the middle of nowhere! Seriously, she used to be working on S-Class ships! She used to be racing those things. And for goodness' sake, she hasn't seen Cam in years. Well, except for on the comm screen, but Matt would rather see people in-person, thank you very much.

Oliver "Ollie" Tershing
Age: 24
Occupation: Loteara Secret Service - 3rd Division

All he can say is, you better thank him, because he's using his vacation days to help the fortress stay in the family. Ollie's a pilot of sorts himself, you see, with some pretty significant monster-slaying skills, and while he's not jazzed to be here, someone has sent him under threat of death to help out. And trust us, Ollie has some resources that the fortress is going to need to stay afloat. So, whether you like him or not, at least he's here. Even though "here" often seems to mean the club downstairs.

Rittel Harris
Age: 27
Occupation: Loteara Secret Service - 3rd Division

First of all, no need to thank him, and no one had to threaten him to come. He's more than happy to help, you know, just so long as no one freaks out when he wants to study the Monument from a scholarly standpoint. People tend not to believe he's a university guest speaker in his spare time - they think he just likes beating stuff up. Which he does, but, hey, people can have a variety of interests, can't they? Rittel's a pretty nice guy for growing up on the mean streets of Dahlmesa, and he can behave quite sophisticated when he wants to, but for the most part he's just a sweet guy with a dirty mouth and a penchant for being the last sane man around.

Hauke Linsey
Age: 24
Occupation: ???

What, him? He's just some guy that shows up in some of the old Rosen family photographs. He left ages ago. Who knows what he does now. Nothing important. Yeah, he's just that one guy. Really. Honest.
