Halaster Blackcloak
- Halaster Blackcloak is a very old and insane wizard who resides within his lair of Undermountain. He seems constantly distracted, always laughing or muttering to himself over things only he can discern. He has difficultly holding any thread of conversation.
- Halaster's ture form is that of a tall, gaunt, male human, but he uses magic to take on many other visages and shapes. He typically dressed in a Robe of Eyes with countless eyes and mouths sewn into the tattered fabrics. In one arm, he usually clutches his spellbook and in the other, his blast scepter is kept at the ready.
- Halaster remembers every slight and every aid given to him - making him honorable in some way, but in the end he tries to get his own way in everything.
- His interests include collecting new monsters and magic, but after thousands of year, what is really new to him anymore? While waiting for such delights, he amuses himself by manipulating events and politics to suit his whims.
Arcturia
- Straw-like hair, bony features, blue-tinged skin, and an exasperated expression compromise Arcturia at a first glance. She wears a wide-brimmed conical hat and a robe of butterflies. She holds up a finger, above which a tiny, glowing sigil floats that represents the school of transmutation. Gossamer wings sprout from her shoulders and bone spurs jut from her forearms and elbows.
- Unable to abide normalcy and consistency, Arcturia fixates on transforming herself, her surroundings, and other creatures. Her moods are ever-changing.
Jhesiyra Kestellharp
- A young, plain-looking woman dressed in white robes. Her face betrays the subtlest hint of a smile. Her portrait has been slashed in half.
- Jhes was one of Halaster's most gifted apprentices until it became clear to her that Halaster was irrevocably insane. She fled, but Halaster dragged her back to Undermountain and trapped her in the Citadel of the Bloody Hand, a dungeon complex connected to Undermountain.
- It is believed that she managed to escape from them when the wards failed during the Upheaval.
- She now hides from Halaster, who is unaware of her presence, but often wonders about her disappearance.
Marambra Nyghtsteel
- A striking woman with long auburn hair and an empty, distant gaze. She wears a black robe and holds a staff topped with a rune. That rune represents the school of evocation.
Muiral the Misshapen
- An ugly, powerfully built man with messy brown hair and a cruel sneer. He wears battered plate armor and has a steel helm with a scorpion motif tucked under his right arm. Clutched in his left hand is a longsword that drips blood.
- Muiral was an accomplished human warrior who long served as Halaster's bodyguard.
- His descent into madness began when he asked the Mad Mage to tutor him in the wizardly arts. It said that Muiral learned enough magic to transform himself into a half-scorpion monstrosity which is when he became known as Muiral the Misshapen.
Nester
- A handsome, slender man with thinning hair and a penetrating stare. He wears a plain black robe and many rings on his steepled fingers. Tattooed on his forehead is a tiny black rune meant to represent the school of Necromancy.
Rantantar
- A fat, frowning man scarred by fire. He wears ornate purple robes and grasps what looks like a wand of wonder in his burned right hand. Rantantar is one of Halaster's oldest apprentices.
Trobriand the Metal Mage
- A stoic, bearded man with black hair, black robes, and tinker's goggles. A tiny iron scorpion is perched on his shoulder.
- Trobriand specialized in the creation of magical constructs. He shunned humanity and other living begins in favor of his creations, which he saw as superior.
- Paranoid and anti-social, he had limited trust of Halaster even whiled apprenticed under him.
