Major Non-Player Characters

Non-Player Characters (NPCs) are individuals controlled by the DM.  They may be members of the party, hirelings, henchmen, bar tenders, opponents, or virtually anything other than a Player Character.  Below is a list of the major NPCs in our Greyhawk Campaign:

Timar the Red -- Timar is a human mage of some sort with a special penchant / ability with fire (as yet undemonstrated).  Hired by Justin Harper, he is currently a member of our party.
Justin Harper -- A Greyhawk businessman of substantial means (although not fantastically rich).  He owns a small trading company which has recently been suffering losses in the area east of Hardby.  Although that is disturbing enough, the last raid captured a friend of his and now they are demanding a unpayable ransom.  Justin has hired us to attempt to recover his friend -- preferably alive.
