Karl and His 13th Age Friends

Karl Valerian -  The only human that can hear the telepathic communications of dragons.  Karl's parents were both dragon riders for the Empire.  When his parents were killed by a demon raid on Horizon Karl, filled with grief and rage, turned to the Crusader to train him to destroy demons.  The Crusader's people tried very hard to get Karl to fully embrace his dark side but Karl couldn't. He left knowing deep in his heart that he was a good person. He headed to join The Great Gold Wyrm expecting it to be a much better fit for him.

Sunfar Johansson- The only half-elf ever trained as one of the Holy Archers of the Queen's Guard. Sunfar has the most uncanny luck. Good or bad is debatable. He has a very strong tendency to just walk into situation where he learns incredible blackmail material. And though he has never actually blackmailed anyone the possible blackmailed would give Sunfar promotions and or gifts of prestige in order to keep him quiet. And since this has happened repeated throughout his career he has managed to become a Holy Archer in the Queen's Guard quite by accident.

A half-elf disguised as a female in order hide a golden globe given to him by the Elf Queen. This globe is a very important gift to be taken to the Great Gold Wyrm.

Gar'flek Tosoth - A gnoll gifted with intelligence by a dying dragon.  The gnoll known as Gar'flek happened upon a dying silver dragon. He tried to help the dragon but ultimately failed and the dragon died. However, since Gar portrayed great nobility in trying to help the dragon it gifted him with superior intelligence. Gar realized fairly quickly that he could but did not want to rule a tribe of vicious bumbling fools and so set off for Horizon a city where intelligence was revered. There he started his training to be a wizard.

Blessed Axeheart (BA) - The only half-orc orphan ever adopted by a noble Dwarf family and raised in the dwarven court. Being raised by a noble dwarven family did not get BA any respect from the dwarven community. So BA hopes to earn that respect by finding a lost dwarven treasure... The location of which is known only to The Great Gold Wyrm.
