3 friends: Ivana Sidorov, mother. Ever wonder why sports players always say Hi, Mom! when on the vid? Well, this one has considerable influence in the Alliance, being from a noble house and mother to a bunch of mercenaries. She respects her sons drive but worries about his safety. Svetlana Toma, female cousin. While not as wellconnected as House Sidorov, House Toma has some resources. And one of them is Svetlana. Shes got her hands in many things and wants Taras to beat Sergei. Inigo Larrinaga, House Sidorov seneschal. An old retainer of House Sidorov, Inigo believes that Sergei is weak and petty. Taras could be the next Head of House and that would please Inigo greatly. 3 contacts: Maggie Siu, mercenary captain and first boss. Hired Taras straight away and groomed him to become a great mercenary. She was hurt that he chose to leave but professional enough to realize it was for the best. Iker Diaz, bounty hunter. Met during a standoff. Both men chose to avoid bloodshed and that impressed Iker. Jacek Borecki, preacher turned cutthroat businessman. One of Taras first jobs was to guard a temple on a outback world so small it hadnt been named yet. He met Jacek there and found the wily preacher more interested in cash on hand than reward later. Theyve run into each other over the years since then and done some business. 3 enemies: Sergei Sidorov, brother. Handsome, rich, and arrogant. Sergei manages to control his other brothers with charm and an iron fist. Taras, however, wouldnt play and so he must pay. Nothing permanent or scarring, cause that would upset Mother. But embarrassing? Oh, yes! Paul Henry, mercenary lieutenant. Jealous of Maggie Sius attention to Taras, he made the young mercenarys life very difficult. Little did he realize that it helped Taras far more than it hurt him. Sue FanTan, rival noble from House FanTan. A beautiful woman who grew up spoiled, Sue feels that Taras didnt do her any favors when he took this bet. After all, theyve hated each other since childhood and now hes going off to get himself killed on some rock in the Black not worth one of her handbags! Whos she going to fight with? How rude!
