Gant

Contract worker (bounty hunter) for the Wong-Hopper Consortium on the planet Kanthi. Marksman.

—His partner, KALAS OF MAGLONA

Kalas glanced at the younger man. Gant had the manners of a cat. He dressed like one of the lordlings Kalas had seen swanning about so many an Imperial palace in his day: in a long suit of gray and black, the lapels of crushed velvet, twirling vines embroidered about silver buttons. He wore a wide-brimmed hat that matched, a white feather in its band—and in place of boots he wore buckled shoes and a pair of tight gaiters patterned white-on-white that accentuated the flare of his jodhpurs. He didn’t look like a thug at all. He looked like a procurer, one of the leno who used to come round selling women and boys to the legionnaires when they put in at port. He was the sort of man as like to smile as shoot, the sort of man who fussed about getting blood on his hands but not about the trigger. Kalas did not like him, but he was efficient, and he knew Abhanri City.

...

“Man, you know I’m always ready.” Gant flashed his artificially bright smile. He’d had his real teeth shattered two years back when he’d been caught by a lowtown gang, and rather than pay to have a bonecutter regrow them, Gant had opted for ceramic implants.

Adri

Proprietor of Adri's Pub on the planet Kanthi. More than just a pourer of drinks; a maven of the city's underworld activities.

Adri had owned the little pub for more than a decade—going on two, maybe—at any rate far longer than Kalas had been on Kanthi. She’d started it young, and might have been only a year or two his junior. She smiled crookedly up at him, the heavy makeup around her eyes making her look more tired than beautiful—not that Kalas didn’t think she was beautiful. She was the sort of woman they said had aged gracefully, who’d come to the good side of middle aged looking only a little older than she had as a girl. A little wiser, perhaps. A little more sad, with a knowing light in those blue eyes. She was an offworlder like him, yellow hair shot now with gray she hadn’t bothered to hide.

Giacomo

Extrasolarian aboard the ship The Parliament of Owls. On the planet Kanthi to attend a prearranged meeting with a fence who has Consortium contacts. Potentially a former Jaddian (based on his name).

The Extrasolarian stood nearly seven feet tall on legs bent backwards like the legs of dog. His hands—where they emerged from voluminous black sleeves, looked more like the anatomical sketch of a pair of hands than hands themselves, with tendons and tissue of black carbon like pencil lead. The feet were like cloven hooves shod with titanium, and his face…Kalas had seen less pallor on a corpse. He might have been an albino, so pale was he and hairless, his scalp glistening, studded with mechanical implants behind his ears and along the column of his spine.

“My captain, Lady Marishka, is most grateful that you have found what we required on such short notice, M. Vela,” the Extrasolarian said, and from his hiding place Kalas felt certain that the man’s lips did not move, that his sepulchral voice came instead from somewhere in his chest.
