Personalities of the Broken Night Motley

The Broken Night Motley is between 50 and 200 strong, depending on who you ask. Their headquarters is in fact a small freehold, but its location is kept a carefully-guarded secret. Most are sure that Catherine knows, but she has never claimed such knowledge.

The Broken Night is itself broken at present, with several different factions and sub-factions vying for control of the group at large. A sizable percentage of the motley is not partisan to any one faction, and Raphael still nominally controls the freehold.

Raphael Luhen

An aging Nocker. Raphael spent three months in the Dreaming, returning with tales that seem to swell in the retelling and several peculiar items. He returned to discover the present unrest and a history full of Unseelie behaviour that he's hesitant to condone. Raphael holds to the Seelie code, however loosely.
Since his return, Raphael has consolidated a vague coalition around himself. His politics seem to aim toward moderation, possibly even some form of negotiation with the Countess' Household. Last time he visited the court, he called Jasmine a 'cum-infested butterball of a lap-lapping whore' out of frustration. He's been forgiven, but afraid to return since.

Rachel Brightwater

Prior to Raphael's departure into the Dreaming, this Satyr hung on his right arm as advisor and lover. His absence left her to philander, however, and she and her small harem of other men form the core of a second faction, which doesn't want to bother acknowleging the Countess' Household. Rachel is vibrant and sultry, renowned for her voracious sexual appetite and the swift brutality of her combat style. Her greatest claim to fame was the singlehanded capture of a wild griffin. Rachel recently proclaimed her Unseelie nature as principal.

Jason Strom

Jason Strom is a Redcap with enough righteous rage to go around. The third major faction is headed by him and his "Monsters", a group of street toughs that lay claim to turf about three blocks west of the freehold. Jason and his crew are directly hostile toward Catherine's retinue, though they don't necessarily go out of their way to provoke fights.
Jason's view is that the Courtiers are laying claim to turf that's rightfully his, and that's pretty much a conflicting position. Jason has been personally responsible for the chimerical slayings of some thirty hapless fae. His gang has been responsible for countless more.

Jimmy the Head

Jimmy the Head is an Unseelie Sluagh who makes his living in the mundane world as an assassin. Among fae, his profession does not change, but his techniques and motives for target do; generally, he selects courtly opponents with strategic value, knocking them out of commission for a brief spell. He has taken Jasmine down on two occassions, and other key members of Catherine's staff on countless others. He has also targeted courtiers in the Duke's court as well as the courts of several Barons. He seems to delight in inflicting wounds upon sidhe.
Jimmy spends a good deal of time with Jason Strom's boys and tends to back their political stance, though it seems fairly clear to those who watch that Jimmy -- like many of those he associates with -- would rather see outright war erupt. He has no love for the nobility.
