Friends and Foes of the Players

My selfmade npcs. Most of these are part of the Guardiani cabal which plays a major role in the campaign. But there are some others as well, especially now that the PCs start getting entangled with TNI.

Homebrewed NPCs for Just A Game

Clueless Ex-cultists

Ariane Zeelenberg
Former member of the cult, she left after it turned out that instead of some nice harmless new age occultism these people were into kidnapping and killing.

Carelia Norlander
Yet another cult member, she was only a novice they last heard of her. She has left the cult when she heard what happened to Doro and somehow managed to connect it to the cult.

Marit Lambrecht
A former member of the Karlsruhe cabal of the Guardiani. She has vanished. She is back as a member of TNI, she barely survived the Phantom episode though after an unlucky run-in with the players and after all she lived in the same house as Marie Sulani which the players torched.

Michaela e
Yet another former low-rank cult member.

Per G Vendelin
Yet another low-rank cult member. He has learned a little magick from one of the cult's adepts, but because of the weird shit happening lately he is considering to quit.

Thilo van Auch
A low-ranking member of the cult. He has not been at any of the cults meetings of late. It seems like he has decided that his studies of architecture at the University of Karlsruhe are more important.

Dukes

A.V.
Real-life friend of the players, I used him to involve the players into the campaign. He was a novice to the Guardiani and a student of Iris. He is also one of those possessed by one of the ghosts.

Cassandra Feinblatt
I wanted her to embody Cassandra, the prophetess, to whom noone listens. Well it did not quite work out. Anyhow she is the ex-girl-friend of Asghar and has a daughter - Sarah - by him. She is now living and working in Hamburg. She was nearly killed by Asghar at the Frankfurt Airport. MourningDragon stepped between them and managed to get the gun pointing somewhere in the air.

Dorothea Schilling
Used to be a member of the Guardiani. She left after suffering a severe heart attack caused by a magickal attack. She was working with Lili to find out what was going on in the cult. So she met Tall Guy in early 2000, when she was about to warn him about the kidnappings, she was attacked.

Florian Pancrazio Zamarilla
Former member of the Guardiani, he left the cabal for unknown (to the players) reasons. The players have been guessing that he is the one mentionned as 'Chronos' in Anoush's diary. And they may yet be right. From Andratti they learned that he is a mean evil old guy who is into death-magic.

Iris Aigner
She supposedly left the Guardiani after discovering what they were doing to A.V.. She was A.V.'s mentor and fell in love with him despite the 10-years age difference.

Theresa Andratti - Knowledge-able Adept
Sister of Fabricio Andratti, she is an adept and the players visited her on their search for occult knowledge. She told them more than she should have I guess.

One of the three people inside the Karlsruhe Cabal who actually know something off what they are doing. He has been trying to find out more about the Hastur prophecy.

Krischan Cerfas

Raphael Hegel
A low-to-middle rank member of the cult. He is also a member of that rpg-group that did the LARP in the Just A Game episode.

C. von Hirschfeld
He owned - unwittingly - one of the vessels, he was about to sell it to someone when he had a car accident in which the seal of the vessel was broken.

A middle-rank member of the Guardiani, he died during the kidnapping episode after MourningDragon put a knife in his foot. The reason for his death was found later: probably because of the pain he had a severe heart attack.

Simon Feinblatt
