CAPTAIN: [Captain Raycraft] Dame Leonore Raycraft: [HGT: 4ft, 11in; WGT: 190 lbs] A squat, muscular, and square-framed woman with tomboyish short red hair.

The Hippodrome - The Household Heavy Cavalry of Bedivere [Garrison] Sergeant: Ramon Nagle: [HGT: 6ft, 4in; WGT: 225 lbs] He is a middle-aged man with curly, brown hair and a thick beard and moustache.

CAPTAIN: [Lord Captain McGrath] Sir Son McGrath: [HGT: 4ft, 3in; WGT: 90 lbs] He has long gray hair in a decorative plait, and two golden front teeth. He is quite friendly and good-natured, but his human compassion has a blind spot for any enemy combatant. To such luckless men-at-arms, he is a pitiless butcher. His flanking maneuvers are cunningly designed to sow dread and despair, and he always tries to dedicate his horseback knights to running down any who flee his terrifying gryphon cadres. DRESSED IN: white-gilt platemail, cloth of gold cape, blue-gold Pendragon tabard. POSSESSIONS: small dictionary. ARMS & ARMOR: cavalry axe (w+2SK), silvery plate mail armor

AIDE DE CAMP: [Sir White] Sir Garrett White: [HGT: 6ft, 9in; WGT: 280 lbs] An unkempt blonde man wearing a slightly unusual amount of fine jewelry.

CHAMPION: [The Bright Knight] Sir Carter Thorebourne: [HGT: 6ft, 11in; WGT: 290 lbs] A huge man, and a close relative of the Pendragon family. Golden hair flows past his shoulders, and his bright lance always hits its mark. He is outwardly very humble, and trains for hours every day. He is a natural fighter, but is trained in physic. He tends to his comrades at every opportunity, but these are rare.  DRESSED IN: white-gilt platemail, cloth of gold cape, blue-gold Pendragon tabard. POSSESSIONS: vial of perfume, book containing prayers, surgical kit, leather sack with 57cp and 89gp.

The HHCoB is a regiment of professional cavalry under Lord Captain McGrath. It comprises 300 of Gilead's best mounted gentry on horseback, with a few dozen demigryphs and several gryphons. This army is famed for its combined ground and aerial flanking charges and their cloth of gold capes that blaze in the sun like a fire. Its champion Sir Thorebourne is known for marvelous deeds of arms from his gryphon Terberis. Backed up by any force of men-at-arms, Bedivere's cavalry is perhaps the deadliest cavalry in the land.

12 - Vaward Foundry of Camelot [30,000gp] Royal Overseer: Dame Valery Collins: [HGT: 7ft, 2in; WGT: 250 lbs] With frazzled black hair, sooty face, and intense, slightly mad eyes, she has the poise of someone who would seem to tower even if they were a foot shorter. She was appointed overseer because of a tendency to not accept half-measures, half-truths, or anything less than full effort from anyone. Under her reign of terrible honesty, the military's arms supply has flourished in quality and production, and costs are significantly down. A few older smiths have retired rather than do things her way, but she sees this as a price worth paying. DRESSED IN: black riding boots, black pants, a black iron-buckled heavy belt, and an armless white shirt. The look is somewhat spoiled by a pink silk neckerchief. POSSESSIONS: handful of seeds (5 ea), leather holy symbol, small leather bag with precious stones (blue sapphire - 3ea worth 232gp).
