Mikel Thunderfist Mikel owns a farm and 150 acres of land out in Goodrich,15 minutes by car southeast of Flint. Mikel is a Troll, and offers safe haven for all Fae and mortal alike who seek refuge from the Court of Carriages.
Staunchly pro-commoner, he has an uneasy truce with Duke Airlyn. Thunderfist
knows that he does not have the manpower to forge a war against Airlyn,
and Airlyn considers Thunderfist to be no threat, since he mainly keeps
to himself. However, Airlyn has tacitly backed up some raids by his Detroit
Street Thugs on Thunderfists's farm when the Troll has given refuge to
someone that Airlyn perceives to be particularly threatening politically.
Mikel's farm is actually a mid-range freehold. The bale fire burns in the
huge den/gathering hall he has built in his home. The only payment Thunderfist
requests for his hospitality is that visitors help in some way with the
chores.

Martin "Welsby" Weatherford: Pretty much
a new arrival to Flint, this Boggan has become the curator of the Sloan
Museum, the director of the Planetarium, and holds high positions in the
FIA, FIM, the Whiting Auditorium, and the Library. His goal is to breathe
new life into the arts and sciences in Flint, hopefully generating more
new generative Glamour in the process. He realizes what an uphill battle
he's waging in this town that's so focused on its past, but, as a newcomer,
he's pretty optimistic yet. Duke Airlyn is watching him closely, ready
to leap upon any Glamour that does come from Welsby's efforts. Mikel Thunderfist
has not visited him yet, but has heard of his efforts and is interested. Maleficious: This sluagh Wilder has associated
himself with the court for reasons that only he knows. He is the spy and
source of Airlyn's knowledge of the events in the Court of Carriages.
Maleficious is seemingly everywhere in the Court; words that you thought
you shared in a private conversation or muttered to yourself in solitude
often make it to Duke Airlyn's ear. In addition to his spying, Maleficious
has two other main occupations: he is a mortician for the city coroner,
and he loves to scare children. The former occupation allows him to get
money to survive in the mortal world, as well as supplying him with various
body parts he uses to invoke fear into others. The latter is the way that
he gleans Glamour. While the "boogeyman" type scare, jumping out of the
shadows and grabbing someone, does supply quick fixes of Glamour for him,
he prefers to cultivate true terror over long periods of time. He finds
a particular child with a fertile imagination, and haunts her for months.
His hauntings have created some of the nastier nervosae that have run loose
through the Court. Although he is nearly undetectable by vision or sound,
a faint smell of death and fish lingers about him. By the time that most
Fae catch the scent, Maleficious has already learned what he needs to know,
and is gone.
Grigor "Snarly" Renchnik: Snarly is known
throughout the state for his mechanical ability, especially with automobiles.
This Nocker was one of the Fae around who helped organize and implement
the sit down strike at Fisher Body in Flint in the 1930's, which started
the UAW. He's the invisible owner of Burton Auto Parts. He lets other people
run the business, and has almost become a forgotten part of the place.
He mostly sorts through the old junk cars for new parts, and effects 'miracle'
repairs on cars that the mortal mechanics have given up on. He tends toward
the Unseelie end of the scale, but holds no allegiance or preference for
the Court or Commoners, as long as he's left alone to his cars. He will
do special work for Fae's autos, but he requires payment in Dross.

Big Steve: This Troll is owner of Big Steve's Bar and Grill on Bristol Road. He's a friendly old Grump who is willing to help anyone in need, although he doesn't go on quests much anymore. You can find out more about Big Steve's Bar and Grill here.
Marlyna Windfeather: Marlyna is a Sidhe of House Fiona who owns Summer Dreams, a day spa located in Linden. She arrived in the County of Carriages in 1992, and has managed to avoid most political conflict since that time. She remained neutral during the war between Kiril Dawnbreaker and Airlyn Midsummer, and refused title when Airlyn offered after his victory. She is quite reticent about her past, and does not answer to any title other than her name.
Rusty Klinkenhammer: This Nocker owns Rusty's Hobby Shop in Davison, which is a mid-level freehold and home to the Childling Motley The Gamer's Guild. Rusty was granted a Knighthood by Count Midsummer to make his custodianship of the freehold legitimate. Rusty is secretly proud of this title, but wild horses couldn't pull that out of him.
