NPCs of Mage
Now divided into the two groups of Tradition Bigwigs, Technofags and then by city/region for ease of reference. Only characters of a "secondary" importance go here. Allies, Mentors, and close associates of the main cast should go on the first page.
Tradition Bigwigs
Hermitics
Of the six members of Dirtfort surviving at the end of The Movie, half are from the Order of Hermes, including the core of the hallowed Team Fireball. As a result, the Hermitics probably have the most influence overall on the chantry's movements.
Lucio Sao Salvadore - HO CALDWELL. AND LITTLE MISS CALDWELL. Former Pharos of Abkazia Chantry Master. Replaced by Rachel Auriol.
Edric Hontanat. Ren Dynler's master. Eccentric.
Noldos Vayne - Poor fellow who lost his soul to Lucius in a partial embrace. Committed suicide in a last ditch spit in the face of Lucius while giving his location away to Cara via Hedge Magic. A confederate of Master Caldwell in researching the Crown of Gilgamesh, having seized it with Cladwell from a Iraqi partisan who was 'quite a killer of americans'. Had an apprentice that briefly was on the seen in Vancouver but vanished.
Chorus
Rachel Auriol - Replaced Salvadore as Chantry Master of the Pharos of Abkazia. A Choristor brought in to bring some moral spine to the chantry due to a sense of the place becoming corrupt. Hundreds of years old, supposedly a former French nun, and big on the old rules. A Tradition traditionalist one might say. Kept throwing holy water on Mari when nobody was looking. Went after Jodi Blake, and is MIA, probably captured or worst at the hands of that Nephandus.
Akashics
Influenced the cabal to the end of Season 2 - Tia was an Akashic; Kana had an Akashic weapon and is still the reincarnation of a major one.
Master Kenshin Takezo - Died to deliver Kana from Technocratic tentacles in an early episode. His influence lingered until the katana empowered by his Mikoto-the-Cat pin was destroyed.
- Kobayashi Masao - Proud 20-something mahjong hotshot. Proved not so hot a shot against Haruho Artaria-Jurai and her serial Rinshan Kaihou during the south round. Deceased.
Han Yi Ling - Senior student of Yu Lan's master, initially hostile but now allied with Yu Lan. Wants to create an Akashic army as much as Yu Lan but is less communist, ridiculously stylish.
Virtual Adepts
Contingent 10 - They don't do fuck around.
Euthanatos
The Euthanatos has had a significant impact on both Team Fireball and recently Team Japan. With two one of the cast being from this Tradition it is expected the Deathmages will have a interesting impact into the series.
Adept Parvashita - A stern faced Indian (a REAL Indian) woman. Was present at Master Caldwell's "death" but vanished before Mordant could question her. Turned up at Cape Cod breaking into the Caldwell estate having suspected Master Caldwell was seeking to circumvent the Great Wheel. Pity she was nearly burned to death by Mari. Carried on Cara's back she survived due to the Cara's bravery (and Mari's timely first aide). Proved that turning into a cat, like a snake, doesn't help.
Kim Vachon- Euthanatos Master infiltrating Chicago Chinatown's Nephandi. Is not a ray of condensed sunshine. Loves onyx almost as much as Mari does. Probably has way more money than the entire chantry combined. Probably the hottest Master-level mage we've met so far.
Kevin Gallagher- KIA. Celtic Euthanatos death-mage with a magic sword. Died from a truck to the face keeping Cara alive. May get his vengeance from the grave in the form of his blade, with Derek recovered after his death.
Jorge Salbon- Leader of the Quirky Miniboss Cabal the 'Friends of the Soul'. Former Columbian death squad leader, now exceptionally powerful mage. Master of Entropy, Adept of Life and Spirit, and like all the Friends a master of infiltration and disguise. Direct, self-assured and a terrible womaniser when off mission, with a nasty habit of ensuring every woman he sleeps with gets pregnant. Generally agreed to be A Piece Of Work.
Fleta Natrajan- Friend of the Soul. Indian Death Note fangirl with her very own copy. A face-changing adept who kills from a distance. Placed under the Red May Protection Act by Kana; rigorous observance is not anticipated.
Richard Somnitz- Friend of the Soul. The American Psycho, charming and insane. His tastes run towards single women, young girls, and (for some reason) birds. Destined to kill a great evil (Mari beware!). Despite his status is still a mere Disciple, trained in Correspondence, Entropy, Forces, Life and Mind.
Rosa Zlonstreth- KIA. Friend of the Soul. Uses magick only sparingly and relies on her formidable personal skills, which can kill you in a myriad different ways. Has a 'complex' relationship with Salbon after he made her pregnant despite her being infertile. She takes pleasure in ruining powerful men, in which she includes more or less all mages. Suspected tsundere.
Sons of Ether
Captain Percival Dory - The gentlemanly wooer of Catherine and also lent Kana his pocketknife. Recieved Edwardian schooling and has spent decades, not all that he actually lived, traveling all through the Ether.
Professor Konstantin Marakov - Specialist in psionics and artificial intelligence, and mentor to Derek. Cleared Derek's mind of Technocracy programming, and helped him get a start as a Scientist.
Technofags
Iteration X
Apthalon - ItX cyber-hunter, out to chase down renegades. Like Reynolds. Not having shown up in the story for quite a few episodes, fans are speculating whether the upcoming run on the net will feature his return. Showed up in Season 3 to nearly stymie Team Correspondence's train escape using a plasma cannon larger than he is. Current kill count: One Russian Missile Train and one PC. Last seen tumbling off into the darkness on the internet with clawing Betas surrounding him, which means he is almost certainly going to be back.
- Lenintrain will be avenged. --Feanor 05:57, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Nimrod - Even Kana would tell you the chantry lacks the genres necessary to manage a team of hardsuit girls. The team exchanged one lost hardsuit to 3 lost Chantry members, which may or may not be favourable depending on perspective.
Charles Starborn - Codename "Castar". Iterator who isn't too busy making money to blow up Traditions magi. Drinks coffee nonchalantly while chantries burn, and jumps out of helicopters without a care. Current progress in sabotaging Technocratic operations: 10 dead MiB (4 veteran), 1 senior operative, 1 combat operative, 1 heavily damaged Construct, 1 valuable intelligence resource, and a whole lot of sleeper personnel in exchange for a single (2?) dead Trad mages, which according to some sources is approximately the exchange rate he requires to break even.
- Update: After Kerrin played possibly the world's most dramatic practical joke on Castar's operations and drove him out of power, Castar has gone rogue with at least one helicopter, what may or may not be a big gun, and his own personal skill, which is apparently downright amazing.
- Update 2: After the sabotage of his naval vessel, he invaded Lo Pan's chantry with his remaining forces in a move which was either very ballsy or very dumb. He was eventually killed by Lo Pan in single combat when his reinforcements failed to come, charging into battle even after all hope of victory was lost, and driving his girlfriend into suicide.
Kahori Soga - JSSDF Major in a hardsuit and working with demons. May or may not actually have been a full Nephandi but Kana thought she was and she was a Techno too anyway, so she killed her.
Major Graner - Iteration X combat cyborg action hero who taught Westin the meaning of male bonding. Survived being right next to a missile detonation and wrestled a cyber-Oni to death even after being grievously wounded during the operation to defeat Bakin and his demon goons.
Dr. Maya Asano - The daughter of a Syndicate doctor and the Iterator who invented the powersuit. Head of the Knights Saber. Proteusnip :(
Tamra Cybeline - May or may not be Is a cyborg Tia 2.0. Found working in Japan as one of the Knights Saber. Current guess is that she's an Iteration X construct. Works as a physical education teacher for gifted youths in her spare time.
Anya Advani - The EWar specialist of the Knights Saber, works undercover at the TMSP. Possibly NWO-trained.
- Nature: Benefactor Demeanor: Child
- Mind 4, Matter 4, Forces 2, Corr 2, Time 2
Kiri "Yoko" Diadora - The fourth Knights Saber. Looks like a movie star trying unsuccessfully to look like a nuclear physicist.
- Nature: Misfit Demeanor: Bon Vivant
- Corr 4, Ent 3, Prime 3, Dimensional Science 3
New World Order
Amy Lee - Woman in Black who was out to capture Kana and maybe still is; either way, they'll meet again. Last seen in the Spy's Demise Windy City, bending Akashics to her own ends. In former times she was the student of Takezo Kenshin and is now considered an infamous traitor.
Black Coat - Some midlevel MiB caught smuggling a bottle loli. Punches way over his magickal weight. Has a pistol that can shut down Correspondence effects within a wide tactical area.
Nameless Man In Black #610 - Badass Man in Black who stood in front of Westin emptying an entire magazine with only a cinematic scratch to show for it. Didn't help much though, because he ate a rocket to the face immediately after. However, he managed to sacrifice himself to keep his buddies alive from the rocket hit. May he rest in peace, as a worthy foe. Possibly caused Mari to botch as revenge from beyond the grave.
Syndicate
John Kerrin - Syndicate VPO, formerly administrated Chicago Technocratic Ops. Was too busy making billions of dollars to really do more offensive action than troll Traditions webforums as "SugarDaddy$$". Sadly global economic downturns meant that he was replaced by Charles Starborn. Has proven himself to be a magnificent bastard above and beyond magnificent bastards. He quickly used events in Cuba to set up a chain of events which led to him being reinstated. Voted most likely to die of laughter out of all the Master-level mages met so far.
Eli Havelock - Syndicate high up who is over 200 years or so old. Fought Miho in World War II for possession of the littlest Lama, manipulating three chantry members into helping him achieve this goal. Like approximately 100% of Syndicate senior personnel seen so far, a magnificent bastard.
Progenitor
Doctor Silvia Pannian - Evil technobitch who violates just about every principle of research ethics known to man. Runs the UIC Medical Research Construct, and is a close ally of Starborn.
Natalie Boerman - Derek's old flame from his time in the Techno Academy. Murdered a sleeper in cold blood in service to Dr. Pannian. Claims to serve her only out of fear for her life. [DECEASED]
Ikeda - Some fuck in Japan. May be is working on biomechabots. The target, or one of the targets, of Marauder-ko. Nobody remembers him due to all his Arcane. All evidence points to him being a magnificent bastard as well. Directly connected to Colonel Bakin and the Infernalist camp where the Tantos were being tested as well as being responsible for sending Major Soga to the Wicked City, so evidence points him as being yet another Infernalist, or playing with fire.
Uncategorized
Oniri Rika-Infernalist Technocrat who tried to kill Liz. Was slain via Kana-based rocket barrage. Rezzed by Ikeda then beam cannoned by Maya under the Coil Institute. Rezzed by Ikeda again and then murdered once and for all with a 10 agg spirit 4 attack by Cathy.
Colonel Bakin-Infernalist Technocrat who was absolutely hardcore, with willpower 10 and the balls to stab through himself to injure an enemy. A mecha pilot of some fairly great skill, Bakin managed, in a Tanto, to fight two hardsuit girls and Kana to a standstill for several rounds and nearly accomplished his master plan of bringing the Wicked City into this world. Killed by self-destructing Tanto.
Volkov - Almost certainly a mage, probably a technocrat of some stripe, unknown loyalties. Russian and very, very dangerous. Had dealing with Proteus' original iteration.
Nephandi
Jodi Blake Nephandus who corrupted a magic tree and its coven guardians, who was involved in a plan to kill Caldwell, and tried to sacrifice Mari for her own nefarious purposes. Was last seen fleeing when her plan fell apart. Probably not very happy at Mari.
Winnipeg
Winnipeg's Vampires
Lucius Andari - A serious business vampire. His inability to keep up with Kana's torrent of fictional culture led to his downfall. Former Sabat Bishop of Winnipeg. After his final death his possessions were looted by various parties, including Tom One-Eagle.
Elvira - Lucius' former hench-bondage-vampire lady. Now a bishop of something or other. According to Filbert based under a Basilica.
Filbert - A vampire contact of some kind to Ozu. Somewhat crazy.... But being a insane Malkavian Kindred possessed a clearer understanding of the events happening in Winnipeg then anyone else at the time.
Indian Posse
Tom Oneeagle - A Dreamspeaker who contributed significantly to keeping Kana alive against Winnipeg's Vampires in S1, leading a clowncar full of Indians. As of the end of Season 2, Tom appeared to have gotten his hands on the Crown of Gilgamesh and may or may not be was definitely suffering some effects from it. During Mage: The Ascension: The Movie ~Curse of Gilgamesh~, he was shot in the head by a perfectly mundane bullet despite his phenomenal cosmic power due to mutually terrible magic rolls but was rescued by his werewolf buddy before the job could actually be finished. Now at large in northern Manitoba proving that in the World of Darkness, even Canada can have an insurgency. Now known to be attacking the oil pipelines in northern Alberta and Manitoba causing fuel shortages across North America.
Bobby - Some guy who got his neck snapped by Elvira. That bitch.
Izzy - A still-pimpled member of Indian Posse. Thinks he's all that with a butterfly knife. He and Kana found their worlds had little in common.
Wuff Brigade - There's like six of them. Sources say they do not fuck around either.
Other
Donald Ingram - A corrupt police chief in Winnipeg who was a willing lackey of the Camarilla, the Technocracy, and the Malfeans. At the behest of Tom Oneeagle, Westin helped plan an assassination against him, which was almost foiled by some angry Asian men looking for revenge against the Indian Posse. He was protected by some sort of evil magic (and not the True Magic kind) but Westin's marksmanship as well as his prayer for his speedy ascent to Acheron was more powerful than his eldritch protections, and hopefully will set the man free from his sins.
Vancouver
Vancouver Triads
Kang Tze-Kung - Kuei-jin. Definitely a Kuei-jin. Slain by Ozu in an epic brawl in the Dojo.
Kang Zhang - Kang's son. Dead by Kano's blade with an assist from Kana.
Mister Lao - A Kuei-jin. Was the Big Bad of Season 2. Had a Black Spiral ally who got roasted for his sins. Killed in triple combo attack by Kana, Proteus and Kano. Possibly had a man behind the man however.
Chiju - Overall leader of the Shady Vale kuei-jin base. Overcome by Tia after a bit of stumbling and had his place taken by "Tiachu".
Bao Zhi - Incredibly nasty sword kuei-jin. Cut in half by Vali after a 3-on-1 battle.
Xiumin - The third midboss. An ice lady in leathers dual wielding broadswords and with an uzi at her hip. Blinded by Cara and burned to ashes by Mari with Kana backing up.
"Jimmy Dean" + 4 - Sat around the garage and was responsible for the location's four chih-mei. Slain by Vali in a single blow. Vali also mostly slew the chih-mei in a single blow each, with the balance cleaned up via the team German's flamethrower.
Franky and Little Li - Troublemakers apparently. Cheaped out when Tiachu threw them to the chih-mei.
Hsing and Fu - Those Two Guys. Kidnapped Tia and led to this situation. About to face Team Girls, so one could argue that this section is Under Construction. Blinded by Cara, entrapped by chains, hacked and burned to death by Team Girl.
Feng - Last of the Mochinkans. Survived because he was on sentry duty. Should be thankful.
Team Timeout
Lussentelay - Skeletal and emaciated heroin addict infernalist mage who sold his soul. His arrogance at his own power and some timely help from both Marilia Caldwell's wraith and Josephine Mordant allowed Cara to take him down, bringing Team Fireball out of the nadir of its fortunes.
Red May - Appearance 5 Asian bondage lady with short cherry red hair and blue contacts. Unfortunately, Cara seems to hate her a lot, putting a damper on her prospects at becoming a Kana cosplay model. Possibly a Ghoul in bondage to Ozu. Slain at the final battle of RDJ by Cara.
Cathy - Black girl who goes out with a skinhead. Low self-esteem. Managed to quit the field with the wounded Sieg during the last battle.
Sieg - Skinhead who goes out with a black girl. A matter and mind mage, though a fairly shitty one. Was shot by one Cathy only to be saved by the other.
Other Fuckers
Ozu - A vampire and a Yakuza. Camarilla Prince of Vancouver. Is Kano's teacher. Just what he has at his disposal is uncertain though he was clearly losing to Kang before. As recent events unfolded, it rapidly became clear that he was at the extreme low end of the Conspiracy ladder. Object of infatuation to Dirtfort's resident fireball loli. Has not seen Gunslinger Girl.
Wang Jun - A Chinese arms dealer. Supplied guns to the Triads until he developed a severe case of Cheetahman.
Fat Freddy - Fat Freddy may be a reference to Fredek Bezelizin, a Russian gangster. Generally rather upscale, involved in gambling and laundering. No conflicts between him and the Tongs that you know of from the media reports.
Detective Nick Lomas - A detective who was onto Tia. Thought Kana was a harmless loli until she shot him from behind. Keikaku doori!
Leo Tarhal - Reborn Garou for the Glasswalkers and servant of the Wyrm. Excellent hacker, although not quite good enough to shake off Proteus. After being trapped in "real" space by Catherine, targeted by Proteus, fireballed by Mari his mind was cut apart by Cara in a challenge of wills that saw the brute broken and its secrets given up, cut short only by the coming arrival of fire engines. A lackey of Mister Lao.
Nyima Tempai - A Tibetan shota who was really an over 100 year old Kueijin. Apparently was a destined goodguy of some sort despite being a corrupted, purulent dick previously in league with a huge crime boss and subsequently in league with a servant of the Wyrm. Tried to play chessmaster with a mahjong player. However, Kana also activated his trap card.

Lieutenant Togai - Kana's The Lieutenant.
Pvt Ayabito Chieko

Blazilla - Black woman with afro, black catsuit, two swords and heels. Quiet unknown but may include exploitation.
Ione - Both a Techno creation and a Marauder. Can project and control biomechabots. Is the sister of the Captain so her Quiet may be closely related. Known as chaoticax@umail.com or Marauder-ko until Proteus gazed into the eye of chaos and managed to communicate on her level. Sees organic life as a hideous virus on the orderly matter of the so-called 'real' world. Takes the form of an OS-tan with doc oc tentacle-hair online.
The Executor - 90s comic character. Has combat pools of 13 or more and a dark backstory.

Ione - Marauder chick. That is, she is both a Techno creation and a Marauder. Can project and control biomechabots. Is the sister of the Captain so her Quiet may be closely related. Known as chaoticax@umail.com or Marauder-ko until Proteus gazed into the eye of chaos and managed to communicate on her level. Sees organic life as a hideous virus on the orderly matter of the so-called 'real' world. Takes the form of an OS-tan with doc oc tentacle-hair online.
Imogen - Ione's younger sibling. A much more sophisticated man-machine interface, she has incredible hacking and codebreaking abilities. Looks to be ten or so years old and isn't crazy like her older sister.

Shiragon-sama - Shinto priestess (a proper one, not a shrine maiden). Spirit mage of undisclosed power.

Boss Yamashita Fought Shu to a standstill, until the Kana-Heat-Hawk reaved his soul.
Boss Yoshida Impaled by an I-beam.
Boss Sasaki Escaped, still at large now six feet under. Thinks the technos were behind the attack. Got shot right in the third eye by a UV bullet from Westin, and then was finished off by Kano's sword behind the Lucky Dragon.
Soviet Union
Lenintrain
Vassily
Valentin
Daskal
Golikov - Though made of the stuff of dreams, Golikov remains one of only three Russians to have fired upon an Eye of Sauron within the past century. He did not miss. Also shot at least one oni and hit a hardsuit later on as well.
China
Ten Enlai - Centuries old Dragon Mage who has fallen on hard times. Runs an import/export business in Shanghai. Has a sense of humour and a gilded gold screen, but also ships people to be eaten by Kuei-Jin.
