Alusair Obarskyr aka-Mithril Princess of Cormyr or Alusair the Firetongue
Age39 race-human gender-female class-fighter, ranger, knight play by: Miranda Otto
Alusair Nacacia Obarskyr (the Steel Regent) is the princess and regent of the kingdom of Cormyr (as of 1375 DR), and the youngest child of the late king Azoun IV and queen Filfaeril. Alusiar leads Cormyr as its regent (she is unofficially called the Steel Regent) for her infant nephew, Azoun V. She plans to rebuild Cormyr and regain the realm's status as the leading power in the region. Her first concerns are raising morale and reconstructing the army. As regent, she tries to keep Cormyr fully independent, by fighting attempts to influence her country's policy and economy made by agents of its neighbors, Sembia and Westgate. She is advised by Caladnei, apprentice to Vangerdahast, who advised Alusair's father. Alusair has ash-blonde hair and oak-brown eyes. Alusair was known to have heated political arguments with her father which would involve throwing plates and goblets. She initally had no desire to be the Queen of Cormyr. She confesses to wanting Brace Skatterhawk as a lover, but due to the likelihood of him being a son of Azoun IV this would not be proper. Princess Alusair spent most of her life adventuring in the Stonelands, together with a group of knights of noble descent. She proved to be an excellent tactician with superior fighting skills and was nicknamed the Steel Princess. In her left boot, Alusair keeps a dagger with a large blue-green jewel at the pommel, which acts against magical attacks from her enemies. Alusair has a hollow metal sphere that, upon spoken command, can transform into a key to unlock a secret vault in the depths of the royal palace. It is one of only five, the others possessed by the king, queen, Vangerdahast and Alusair's sister, princess Tanalasta. Alusair uses a sword in combat, and keeps another smaller court sword in her saddle when riding.
Bruenor Battlehammer

Bruenor Battlehammer is the dwarven adoptive father of Catti-brie and Wulfgar, King of Mithral Hall, friend of Drizzt and Regis, and crafter of Aegis-fang. He is a member of the Companions of the Hall and of the Council of 12 Peers. Bruenor straps a single-bladed axe and a shield with a foaming mug symbol to his back. He used to wear a one-horned helmet, but it was lost in the battle for Shallows. Drizzt, thinking that Bruenor had died, took the one horned helm and placed it on a stick in the cave he used as shelter as a way to bring him back from being the Hunter. Bruenor was run out of Mithral Hall when he was just a non-bearded boy. His clan took up residence in Icewind Dale close to Ten-Towns and supplied the towns with well-made Dwarven weapons and armor. When Bruenor came of age he took his place as leader of the clan. After the battle with Akar Kessel and the Crystal Shard or Crenshinibon, Bruenor tricked Drizzt into helping in the search for Mithral Hall. The Companions of the Hall thought Bruenor was dead when they saw him ride a shadow dragon to the death of the dragon and supposed death of Bruenor. The only thing that kept him alive was Icingdeath (a magical scimitar that protects the user from fire), that Drizzt had lost in a battle with Artemis Entreri. Over the next few weeks, Bruenor worked his way up from the lowest points of Mithral Hall, covering his beard and hair in ash to disguise its color from the Duergar that now resided in Mithral Hall, and killing any who found him out. Eventually, he escaped by climbing up a chimney shaft—during which he was attacked by a giant spider. Though he was bitten, Bruenor managed to kill the spider and find his way up to a vent to the outside. Finally overcome by the poison, Bruenor lost consciousness.He awoke to discover himself in the care of Alustriel Silverhand, ruler of Silverymoon. The lady had divined Bruenor's predicament and moved in to help. With her aid—and that of the Harpells of Longsaddle—Bruenor was able to give chase to Drizzt and Wulfgar, who were, in turn, pursuing Entreri. Covering the hundreds of miles in a flaming chariot (replicated version of Alustriels own) provided by Alustriel, Bruenor and Catti-brie arrived in time to aid Drizzt and Wulfgar's ship in a battle with pirates. Afterwards, the reunited Companions went to Calimport, where they tangled with Artemis Entreri, rescued Regis, and caused the downfall of a dominant thieves' guild in the city. They went back to their home in the North, and spent the winter gathering up forces to take back Mithral Hall—Bruenor's long-held dream. Bruenor and his armies drove out the gray dwarves, and Bruenor was set up as King of Mithral Hall, with a couple of thousand settlers from other dwarven kingdoms swearing their allegiance to him. The peace was short-lived, though, as a small party of drow, seeking Drizzt, caused the apparent death of Wulfgar. In the skirmishes during this, Bruenor lost an eye (which the priest Cordio Muffinhead amongst the other clerics of Mithral Hall later regenerate for him). The death of his adoptive son sent Bruenor into a profound depression. When Drizzt left to go to Menzoberranzan to settle accounts with his people, Catti-brie saw Bruenor as being too engrossed in his own grief to a useful companion when she chased Drizzt. She was not however unaided in the ever so dark tunnels of the Lower Underdark, and met with Alustriel who privided her with a magical circlet that lit the darkest areas (through the eyes of the user) with magical star/moonlight. When she and Drizzt came back, weeks later, their news of a planned drow war on Mithral Hall forced Bruenor out of his depression.With aid from neighboring kingdoms and people, Bruenor and his kingdom survived the assault upon Mithral Hall. Bruenor and his friends even set themselves to seeking out the leaders of the drow army—the Matron Mothers of the most powerful houses. In the battle upon their meeting, Bruenor, with much difficulty, killed Yvonnel Baenre (Matron Mother of the First House of Menzoberranzan, ending her millenium-long rule of the drow city. After the battle, they found Gandalug Battlehammer—the founder of Mithral Hall and Bruenor's ancestor—who had been Matron Baenre's magically-held prisoner for almost two millenia. The discovery of another legitimate king allowed Bruenor to abdicate to his ancestor and pursue his own ambitions in Icewind Dale and the mines his clan had made there. During Drizzt's and Catti-Brie's six-year absence from his side, Bruenor became closer friends with Regis. When the balor Errtu gained the Crystal Shard, Bruenor joined his friends in defeating the tanar'ri. The fight was turned to their favor, however, when Wulfgar rejoined them. As it turned out, Wulfgar had not been killed six years before—rather, he had been taken to the court of the drow goddess Lolth, who traded him to Errtu in exchange for Errtu's services to her. Errtu then spent years torturing Wulfgar and seeking a chance to cause Drizzt to release Errtu's banishment. After Drizzt accidentally released the banishment, Errtu brought Wulfgar back to the Prime Material Plane to witness his friends' destruction. The arrival of Aegis-fang and the out-loud speaking of its name returned it to Wulfgar's waiting hands behind a sheet of ice which in turn allowed the friends to destroy the demon, again banishing it for a hundred years. Bruenor's time in Icewind Dale was shortlived as Gandalug die a few years after resuming his indenture upon the throne. As Bruenor, with the escort of battleragers under the command of Pwent that had come to collect him, trekked back to Mythril Hall they came across two survivors of a dwarven caravan. Events thereafter led them to the Shallows which Bruenor sought to defend from Obould's horde which was led by his son Urlgen. Bruenor took such damage that he was only alive due to the continued efforts of the dwarven priests. This continued well into the next book of the Hunter's blades trilogy until Regis managed to lure him back to consciousness with the enchanted ruby. Bruenor's reputation increased with his return from (as most dwarves think) Moradin's halls, he led the dwarves in a nearly suicidal charge to reclaim the river Surbrin. Due to the events detailed within the Orc king he eventually made peace with Obould, albeit with skepticism, for the greater good. To this day he remains king of the hall, grumbling about his Orcish colleague all the while, though he grudgingly acknowledges the efforts he's made.

Cadderly Bonaduce
Ageearly 30s race-human gender-male class-cleric play by:Brad Pitt
Cadderly Bonaduce is a priest and Chosen of Deneir. Standing 6 feet tall and weighing a bit under 200 pounds, Cadderly is a handsome man in his mid-30s with striking gray eyes, curly brown hair and a sincere, warm smile. If he is angered, his glare can be unrelenting. Due to the extensive use of magic in the construction of the Spirit Soaring, Cadderly aged rapidly. By the time the church was completed, his body was as that of a 100-year old man. As a reward from Deneir though, Cadderly gradually returned to his normal age over the course of several years. His favorite accessories are a blue silken cape and a blue wide-brimmed hat with a red band adorned with a porcelaine brooch showing the holy symbol of Deneir: a single candle burning over an open eye. Growing up sheltered at the Edificant Library in the Snowflake Mountains, he was a likable young man who was intensely curious about life, living and things unusual. Now Cadderly is a changed person; taking so seriously the charge of being a Chosen of Deneir, he has made it his foremost commitment, greater even than that to his beloved wife, and traveling partner Danica. While retaining his gentle and warm personalty Cadderly believes in justice tempered with mercy. Evidence of this became apparent when the wizard Dorigen was helpless before him after causing great destruction. Cadderly's friends urged him to kill her, but the young priest could not. He broke her fingers with his walking stick instead, so that she could not again cast spells. This act of compassion would prove to be for the better, as Dorigen later became a powerful ally and friend. Cadderly was born in Carradoon at the shores of the Impresk Lake, as the son of Aballister Bonaduce and a woman of unknown name. He grew up at the Edificant Library in the Snowflake Mountains. During his time at the Edificant Library Cadderly befriended a white squirrel, which he named Percival. His life goal was to build a cathedral where priests of every goodly deity can congregate and worship. This cathedral was known as the Spirit Soaring, which Cadderly constructed solely with his god-given clerical magic energy. Cadderly had aged greatly while constructing the Spirit Soaring to a point where everyone expected him to die with Cadderly accepting that as the sacrifice necessary for the completion of the monumental library. Soon after completing the main building the aging process had reversed, Cadderly growing younger almost as fast as he'd aged until he seemed at his late twenties again.
