In my "named characters" folder, I had a few that held rapiers. With the new, vastly improved rapier models, I thought it worth updating them, and maybe giving a quick character summary, at least as far as I've developed them so far.

Audley Hardwicke is to be part of a character specific "5x5". I don't imagine him ever appearing in a game, unless someone decided to use my pregen iconics as a character, as he's the specific villain associated with Stefan Clevenger. Part of Stefan's backstory is that he was an official Ranger Shadow before going freelance, and he clashed with corrupt leadership, which sparked his exit from that organization. He "won"; the leader went down, but because he still had some loyal followers in the organization, Stefan decided that it were best if he left. Audley Hardwicke is that deposed leader. Was he just run-of-the mill corrupt, embezzling money, and stuff like that, or was he corrupt in the Shadow side of things? I don't know yet. But he's a rather dashing and charismatic villain nonetheless. |

Captain Borus is a character designed to be part of the "newly" developed Orcling pirate column of the 5x5, where he's a minor supporting character with a ship that the PCs will most likely sail on. He's destined to come to a bad end, as Captain Taurak will attack and board him. If he PCs and Borus beat off the orcling pirates, Borus and his ship are marked to be made an example of, and he probably won't survive that. If Borus ends up surrendering, he's financially screwed by the raid and will struggle for a long time to get back on track. |

Marshal Hathawaye is the leader of the Lady's Guard, a paramilitary elite organization loyal to the Grand Duchess of Waychester. We find him in the first column of the original 5x5, where he and his organization are living as bandits outside of town looking for opportunities to restore or rescue the Duchess from the tower. Although he's not a great guy, given that he's become a bandit prince and all, I see him more as a naïve dupe rather than an overt and corrupt villain. There might yet be the possibility of redemption for Marshal Hathawaye. |

As an aside; it really make me want to watch the Lester Three and Four Musketeer movies again. Man, those are great.
