Bandits
Leaders
Auchs: a huge, lumbering man; stupid and illiterate, he's known as "Ox". The spelling is Dovan's invention in a cruel joke; since he changed the spelling, Auchs can no longer spell even his name.
Dovan (deceased): a well-dressed man, keen on torture. Killed at a "prisoner exchange" after he took Oleg hostage.
Kressle (deceased): a woman; fought with two hand-axes. Killed at the bandits' northern camp, when Eadfrid cut her in two.
Happs Bydon (deceased): Kressle's second-in-command, captured in the ambush at Oleg's Trading Post. Gave a bit of information and was then killed trying to escape.

Fat Norry: Behind only Auchs in size, Fat Norry somehow never seems to lose weight despite the hard lives the bandits live. This rotund bandit is rarely seen without some sort of food clutched in a greasy hand.
Jex the Snitch: The least popular with the men but perhaps the Stag Lord’s favorite minion is this aptly nicknamed man. His penchant for reporting the other bandits’ mistakes to the Stag Lord is likely to earn him a shallow grave before much longer.
Ayles Megesen: Ayles is a soft-spoken man whose calm demeanor should not be taken for passivity—Ayles enjoys the act of torture the most among the bandits, and often
spends hours after a fight “exploring” surviving victims.
Cragger Kench: A former cutpurse, Cragger was beaten senseless by the Stag Lord for drinking a bottle of his liquor, and his injuries have left him a little dim-witted —
although not so dim-witted as Auchs.
Dirty Jeb Megesen: Ayles’s younger brother, Dirty Jeb likes to think he got his nickname for his penchant for fighting dirty, when in fact the moniker stems from his aversion to
hygiene.
Falgrim Sneeg: Falgrim Sneeg is an older Varisian with graying hair and an unruly beard. A former mercenary, he possesses an unnerving calm in the face of violence.
Topper Red: Topper Red was a struggling street poet from the city of Pitax. He fled that city when an affair turned sour, and eventually joined the Stag Lord's ranks while romanticizing the thrilling life of a lawless brigand.
