Dougal
As dedicated as his comrades to the glory of the Griffin Empire, Dougal's loyalty is balanced with a strong dose of pragmatism.

The shooters return his faith, believing that little can endanger them while Dougal is in command.

Duncan (Campaign Hero)
Though Duncan is from an ancient family whose lands (and blood) come from none other than the fabled Falcon dynasty, as a youth his heart longed not for the sumptuous halls of royal palaces but for expanses of sunlit fields, for dusty roads and for the adventures that lay in wait. Impatient with aristocracy and aristocrats, Duncan devoted his life to wandering, and there are few places left in the Kingdom which he hasn't visited yet.

At heart, Freyda is always impatient for the next battle to try some new twist on her favorite tactics.
