Garrett

Garrett grew up on the streets, where survival depended on the ability to steal and remain unseen. This led him to develop uncanny skills that have earned him the title “Master Thief”, and made him the most wanted man in The City.

Erin

A proficient thief, Erin was Garrett’s protégée until her reckless nature clashed with his more careful approach. Now re-united with her erstwhile mentor, Erin continues to antagonize him with her reliance on technology rather than skill, and her tendency to permanently silence anyone who might detect her.

Basso

Safecracker-turned-businessman Basso uses his connections within The City’s criminal underworld to organize thieving jobs for Garrett. As friendly as Garrett is distant, Basso’s long-standing relationship with the Master Thief makes him the nearest thing Garrett has to a friend.

Orion

The charismatic leader of a revolutionary group known as The Graven, which represents the oppressed citizens of The City, Orion claims to want to unseat Baron Northcrest for the good of the people. However he too has his own interests at heart.

Queen of Beggars

The Queen of Beggars resides beneath an abandoned chapel with a community of the poor and needy. She may be blind, but her eerie knowledge of The City’s most closely guarded secrets have led many to conclude that she can see through the eyes of rats.

Madam Xiao Xiao

The proprietor of the House of Blossoms is a flamboyant character who uses her position to conduct numerous rackets including smuggling and extortion. Many believe that her glamourous appearance conceals more than just an adept criminal mind.

Thief-Taker General

Head of the Baron's Watch, Thadeus Harlan's relentless pursuit of The City's petty crooks have earned him the title of "Thief-Taker General". Cruel and corrupt, he abuses both his men and his position, using the latter to extort the “Black Tax” from criminals, which he uses to line his own pockets.

Baron

The tyrannical Baron Elias Northcrest wishes to industrialise The City without heed for the concerns of its citizens, and has assembled a secret order known as The Awakened to bring about his uncompromising vision. As he retreats from public life to focus on this work, he leaves The City in the iron grip of the Thief-Taker General.
