Polear & Bessie MaelstromPolear and Bessie run a store called Grimlocks, where they sell bric-a-brac and miscellania: some of it cheap and old, some of it very expensive and unusual. It's about the only place in Silver River where you can buy jewellery: mostly the nice antique kind, but also some brand new. They also sell beautiful furniture, since Polear is a carpenter. In fact, once a week he teaches carpentry at the local school, and Bessie teaches cookery. That's the other thing about Grimlocks: there are a few tables where you can sit and have a nice cup of tea and a slice of Bessie's delicious cakes. Mind you, the upper classes don't seem to like to go there. It's more a working-class sort of hangout.
Polear is 30. He has lively light blue eyes and short blonde hair worn messy. He is a bear of a man, tall, broad shouldered and barrel chested, his build is rather impressive, he looks like a working man. He wears simple clothing most of the time. He has a charming smile and roguish personality. He wears only one piece of jewelry, a wedding band.
Bessie, a human woman, has an air of no-nonsense about her. Her 5'2" height manages to support, by some fantastic feat of nature, the most generous of curves... both above and below a slender, corseted waist. She's 20 years old.
She generally wears a long, full skirt over creamy white or jet black stockings, held in place just above her knee by plain black garters. Tucked into one of these is a plain dagger in a sheath. Soft globes of pale flesh overflow from beneath a burgundy corset that is tightly laced at the front. Long dark hair curls down over her shoulder, until she bundles it into a loose ponytail with a dark red ribbon. The shard of green gemstone hanging from a gold chain around her neck is the perfect length to nestle just inside her cleavage, and the stone reflects the green of her eyes. Full lips, stained a deep red, can usually be seen smiling or laughing. She flirts innocently, often unaware of the implications of her actions.
Her grammar and manner of speech may sound drawn from the gutter, but her tone of voice is most often gentle. She's kind in a mother-hen sort of way, and doesn't scare too easily. She's certainly not afraid to confront those who might cause trouble in her store. She can read and write fairly well now. Enough for her to get by with the accounts and stock-taking.
Bessie comes from a huge family. Huge. Her mother and all her siblings live and work on Bessie & Polear's trading ship: the Grimlock. They are as follows:

THE BLACK ARMY
THE COUNCIL
