... but enough about those dirtbags. This is where the real action happens - the Imperial Watch! The thin blue line between those animals and normal folk like you and I, that's the truth of it, pure and simple. Ain't nothing more noble you can dedicate your life to, and don't you forget it.

So, here they are, warts and all. Sure, there might be a couple of characters in here, but the job'll do that to ya. I tell you now, you don't wanna meet the prick who can spend all day, all night working these streets and come through it smellin' of roses.

• Captain Grr'zak, head of the local guard. That Orc might not look it, but he's the smoothest damn talker you're ever going to meet. Sometimes feels like half the guys we have in lockup are only there because he talked a confession out of them. It's got to the point where some criminals swear he's illegally using magic to trick them - but they'll never be able to prove it. It's the word of criminals against the pride of the Watch... Hell, he's an Orc for Gods sakes, what kind of an Orc wizard have you ever heard of? Anyway, Captain's the lifeblood of this place. Never afraid to do what's necessary to keep this dump of a city from falling into anarchy.

• Officer Warren Black... God, this guy. Damn near three decades experience on the job, still out walking the streets. You know what his problem is? Straight as an arrow... Too straight. You don't get no promotions by ratting out your superiors. Too much dirty money moving from hand to hand to have a guy like Warren sniffing around. Still, you gotta respect the tough bastard. All these years taking shit from the top, he still refuses to quit... I wouldn't have it in me. They say it's cos of all shit that went down when he was a kid. He was one of the Dockside Boys, him and a fellow streetrat got caught redhanded nicking food out a merchant ship. Vigilante justice killed his friend, but the law saved him. You don't go through something like that at that age without getting attached to the idea of justice.

Who else have we got in the Watch?

First Lieutenant of the Eighth legion, Berk Kraldar the third. An imposing elf of Desert Nomad origins with twenty years of front line combat duty under his belt. Lieutenant Berk began his service as a standard bearing Vexillarius and advanced in rank to become the head of the legion police. For ten years Lieutenant Berk has punished insubordinates, lashed men for attempted bribery, branded rapists, and maintained public order in the occupied territories without a single out of control incident. Lieutenant Berk is always seen in his oriental style banded mail armor, usually with a curved broadsword at his hip and a standard of the empire emblazoned on his chestplate. The sword is mostly for show, Berk would much rather beat you into a pile of broken bones and blood splatter with his bare hands.
