As work on the Shadowman project continues, here's a character sketch I did for Robert McKee--The man that teaches a young 9 year old Nigel to read (and yes, I am thinking in D&D stats [2nd ed though]).
Robert McKee--Male, human smuggler, lvl 8. Age 37 Ht 5'7" wt 128. Greying brown hair with a very scraggly beard. Has the beginnings of a bald spot and very rotten teeth--missing half of the teeth on the upper right side of his mouth.
He carries a broadsword, but not very accomplished with it--more for intimidation factor. He also owns an El Tierran wheellock horse musket, which he uses occasionally on high profile runs. He's a native of Darkepoole. Not married but very fond of Aerie, a 20 something whore from Lady A's brothel on Firth St who also waits tables at The Wall. He often talks of buying her permanently.
McKee is an outspoken heretic of the Dirulean crown--highly critical of the Dirulean Knights and King Edward IX.
He got his start into smuggling abetting in the transport of stolen tax monies to Scrattston and Rae'lan. Since then he has moved into smuggling liquor and documents. He's always looking for documents incrementing the state, and has an impressive library.
McKee belongs to a small guild of rogues and dissidents, The Knights of Darkepoole. While not quite organized enough to qualify as a thief guild, they are a very tightly knit group that works to free wronged people before execution, disrupt the Dirulean state, and attempt to overthrow the government in general. To do this they employ extortion, protection rackets, banditry, theft, trespassing, and even murder.
McKee acts as a sort of captain within the guild, and is largely in charge of liquidating all stolen goods. He has close contacts with several smugglers including: Alison Wash, Brendon Stark, Finian ApMordren, Chas Black, and Quick Jonny Quink.
