18^B2C23

Swashbuckler^B2C23

Tigran^B2C23

A well-muscled, shirtless, barefoot man about six feet tall, furry and orange with the black-and-white markings of a Siberian tiger, a human/big cat hybrid head, vertical-slit cat eyes, a mostly human nose and mouth wisped with fur, and a long, absurdly shaggy tail. Barefoot only recently, per Carl's guess, thanks to newly clawed feet. Speaks with an Asian accent^B2C23

Ballroom A at the Butcher's Masquerade, helping Florin restrain Katia^B5C67

Unable to get back into station 72, falls back down the line and gets stuck between the pursuing monsters and a group of mantaur bosses guarding station 60's platform, unable to break through either way^B3C31

Holding a small group back near a transit station while Carl helps switch their interdiction cart to a random colored line; plans to train his team on ghouls on another line until it's time to head for the free station 72^B3C29

Stranded roughly 100 meters from the abyss's own giant portal on the Mindaro line with about 600 other crawlers, after the second rescue cart meant to carry his group home never showed up^B3C28

Riding the Sinopia-line rescue cart toward yard Q and its own instance of station 36, already held by roughly 400 people^B3C27

One level below the Mindaro line, coordinating a route up to it; a separate group of abyss-stranded crawlers, not his own, was found on the Sinopia line, about five levels deeper than most^B3C26

Leading over 150 hatless crawlers on a roughly 50-kilometer walk toward the abyss portals after the station 435 Kravyad dies and every train on the line stops running^B3C20

Station 435's platform, in a standoff with a disarmed but suicidal Kravyad guarding the employee portal^B3C19

Station 433, fighting for his life on the platform with roughly 400 people, waiting on a second train to escape^B3C18

At the Desperado Club, messaging Carl over chat; not shown in person^B3C6

Grouped with other crawlers at floor 4's station #199, the junction of the Azure and Brown lines with no non-colored line of their own; about to head down the Azure line^B3C4

Jogs up to the floor 4 stairwell with his own group during the evacuation, ahead of Carl and Donut, and leads them straight down^B2C25

In the street with a crowd of NPCs, watching the collapsed municipal building and mall smoke and burn^B2C23

The Divider:

Killed it a few days before Carl and Donut find its corpse, claiming the neighborhood's boss box and map for himself^B2C18

Carl:

Messages over party chat that he and his people felt the abyss generator explode, thanks the party, and reports they're moving in toward the stairwells^B3C34

Finally explains his secret pets are Jaxbrin Amusements figures looted from Miss Quill's apartment, gifts him a spare common Grulke Infantry figure, and admits he's worried about running out since he's neglected practicing with his own sword. Warned in turn that one of his own crew, level 21, is falling too far behind the rest to keep up^B3C29

Greeted with a shoulder clasp and thanked again for the rescue; warns him the newly-glimpsed station mimic is a real city boss, magic resistant and immune to bashing weapons, that chopping pieces off just grows them legs to crawl back to the whole, and that beating it might take something really big. Relieved when Carl scraps the cart-portal plan for a walk through the abyss portal instead, calling it "plan B"; hugs both him and Katia once his crowd reaches the far side, then pulls off his own handed-out souvenir hat and lays it on the ground in tribute to Donut, starting a line of his people doing the same^B3C28

Told the Sinopia-line cart is on its way, then loses a friendly bet guessing the alarm trap's song; sent toward yard Q with instructions to take the employee line, where roughly 400 people are already guarding station 36; separately admits, when Carl asks about experience from his own kills, that he has pets he's kept secret out of embarrassment^B3C27

Reports over chat that his own group can reach the Mindaro line via an intact gangway, though Wall Monitors are congregating near it and will have to be fought through, and that a separate third group is already heading for the Grullo line; spends roughly two hours with Carl working out three workable colored lines for the cart rescue plan, then flags problems with its first draft alongside Katia^B3C26

Reports over chat that the station 435 Kravyad died anyway during an attempted paralysis, sealing the portal, and that trains have stopped running on every track; Carl tells him to send anyone with a souvenir hat through the abyss on foot toward station 436, and warns him about the catwalks and lizard mobs he'd seen there himself^B3C20

Reports over chat that the Kravyad was an NPC exactly as Madison described, and that he neutralized her hypnotize spell with the last of an item he calls a Voca Nye, purple variant; Carl learns less than half the group still has its souvenir hat, their only other way out through the abyss portals^B3C19

Reports the station itself acting as a city boss, arriving too late for Carl's earlier warning to matter; gets redirected toward the Kravyad boss and employee portal at station 435, along with a warning not to kill the Kravyad outright^B3C18

Warned over chat not to get off at station 433, Terminus Station, once a rescued Iron Tangle HR associate tells Carl it's a trap feeding passengers to six Station Mimics; not shown receiving the message on the page^B3C17

Messages him with word from a contact who knows Imani C, warns him some crawlers at the club have been discussing hunting the leaderboard for its bounty, and shares the trick for telling a Desperado Club transfer station from a Club Vanquisher one by its number's last digit; also mentions needing to talk about something else too complicated for chat^B3C6

Points out the stairwell down to floor 4, confirming he'd already told Carl it was here; Carl claps him on the shoulder before he heads down with his own group^B2C25

Confronts him and Donut over the stolen quest but doesn't push it once Carl confirms they also killed the lemurs that wiped out most of his family; exchanges chat contact, calling himself in Carl's debt and promising to come if called^B2C23

Grace Bautista 3:

Says he lost sisters and a cousin, five in total, to the lemurs at the circus; Carl privately assumes she's one of them, sharing his last name, though Bautista never names her directly^B2C23

Lea Bautista:

Says he lost sisters and a cousin, five in total, to the lemurs at the circus; Carl privately assumes she's one of them, sharing his last name, though Bautista never names her directly^B2C23

Miss Quill:

His own quest target, break into her home and kill her for access to the Desperado Club. She fled when he broke in, flying straight to the building Carl and Donut blew up minutes later, killing her and costing him the quest^B2C23

Nica Bautista:

Says he lost sisters and a cousin, five in total, to the lemurs at the circus; Carl privately assumes she's one of them, sharing his last name, though Bautista never names her directly^B2C23

Katia Grim:

Confirms they are together^B5C57

Katia's been talking to him since the day the party rescued him on the Iron Tangle; per Katia, he's very lost and needs this too, and agrees to join her new party alongside Florin^B4C33

Cited by Katia, secondhand, as having separately confirmed the Dismemberment Limited's own stop while she plots a route on Mordecai's map; not shown on the page himself^B3C12

Jaxbrin Amusements, Limited:

Names them as his sponsor, the same company behind the stuffed-figure "babies" he's been secretly relying on, and hopes sponsorship means they can help restock his dwindling supply^B3C29

Curved Sword:

Worn sheathed at his belt in a scabbard; the blade itself glows orange^B2C23
