- Silver Hands: Jade, Leo, Eve
Eisenfaust: Elke (also known as "Maud" or "Brunhilde Schwarz-Baburin"), Annabelle, Kevin
Khoo and Anna-Lisa
NPCs, arranged by first name if known rather than first appearance (which is murky in some cases):
* Chigaku Kawamura (pudgy, obnoxious bureaucrat who had the run-in with Khoo; may or may not be dead, body possibly substituted for him; unnamed wife/whatever seen sobbing on observation deck)
* Heinrich (large, cigar-smoking guy who hit on Jade in the smoking lounge)
* "Jonnu Doisimi" (dead guy, Saraya's stud, real name not known yet)
* Lonnie Budiel (crewman who went to the bilges and found the unnamed body, or body parts)
* Moriarty (ship's captain)
* Morokuma (pompous first officer)
* Niranjan (dumped-on second officer)
* Saraya (missing Lifemage)
* Saraya's husband (does he have a name that I missed?) and his familiar Edgar
* Takashi (chief steward)
* Tori (young steward, knows Lonnie, may or may not be sleeping with the unseen "Josh")
* Travis Dupree (bartender -- same guy as in your earlier "Rallahiem" thread? Your call)
* Tsutomo Kobayashi (guy who sold Eve the daggers; may be part of the "Boris and Natasha" couple seen getting hassled by Kawamura ashore)
There are also a few others described but not named: the large guy who stowed away on board (and has not been seen since that we know of) after climbing aboard from a boat; the terrified teenager who was the last person known to see Jonnu Doisimi alive; the cabin boy who brought Saraya's husband (did I miss a name for him somewhere?) the news that she was missing, and got turned into an axolotl for his trouble; Kawamura's small, round and horrified wife-or-whatever-she-is; Kobayashi's large and "formidable" wife, seen only at a distance being hassled by Kawamura ashore, and then handing a surreptitious money bag to someone not known to have boarded the ship. Some of these may acquire names and fleshed-out descriptions.
Did I miss anyone? Clearly we've been busy.
