Hawk and Fisher are a husband and wife team on the City Guard, an order which functions rather like our modern police force in a fantasy world of mixed Medieval, Renaissance and Industrial Revolution stylings. They live in the port city of Haven, a city-state so corrupt that they can justly make the claim of being the only Guards who have never taken a bribe or looked the other direction. They deal with everything from pick-pockets to wide-scale destructive magic.

Hawk

• Uses a large, short handled battle axe due to his lack of depth perception due to his missing eye, lost during the events of 'Blue Moon Rising'.

Fisher

• Uses a sword and, in haven, is widely considered an expert at using it.
