My Take at The Kerberos Club Roster

Next you have the list of some Strange Characters that populate The Kerberos Club in the Middle Victorian Era. The Player Characters are not included. Some are "canon" some other i borrowed from othe Kerberos Campaigns around the web. Others I borrowed from real life :D


  • Queen Maeve: Princess of Faerie, forever child-like and with a host of fairy willing to follow his orders, has a vast knowledge on everything related to fairies and an extremely "faeric" temperament. 
  • Dr. Archibald Monroe: Exceptional Doctor, the Missing Link of Science and also called Doctor Simian. A brilliant scientist who proved the theories of Darwin "devolving" by their genetic heritage to be in the form of a great ape. 
  • Joseph Smithson, former heavyweight champion, left the noble art circuit when the Strange training that he was bowing made his flesh stone-like. It is one of the club's regular residents. 
  • Countess of La Lámina: noble extravagant and lovely, large fortune, and many suitors (and perhaps lovers) the Countess Mirabel is a woman ahead of her time, and a deep sense of adventure. She´s secretly the Night Hag, the Avenging Angel and Protectoress of Whitechapel. 
  • Mr. Leon: "The Desires Merchant " faerie noble of exquisite and strange tastes, claims to have been the foundation of the club at the time of Roman colonization. Can grant you the desires of your heart ... for your misfortune. His extravagant hair and different colored eyes betray her artistic spirit. 
  • Nicholas Fuller: "The London Fog" a humble chimney sweep who can break his body as toxic mist like the one that covers London. A delightful scoundrel. 
  • Elizabeth Philbrook: A simple and friendly housekeeper, that in moments of anger or distress is transformed into the terrible Maggie Pale, the "Sister." Elizabeth does not frequent much the club, but his "sister" can often be found smoking and drinking brandy in the Blue Room. 
  • The Time Traveler: a handsome man of exquisite manners, he had discovered, discover or will discover how to get around the temporary stream. Sometimes appears in the club, and it's always very interesting because although in his conversation does not reveal anything about himself or the future, is a puzzle to know exactly wich moment from his life he come. In the Hembrook´s Game Room there is a permanent bet on his next appearance. Has reserved a room permanently in the facilities of the Club. 
  • The Turk: "The first Automaton" one of the Masters of London´s Criminal Underworld . His keen artificial mind lives in a permanent chess game of millions of possibilities without the distraction of a human heart. Visit every day the Club to read the press at exactly the same time. 
  • Reginald Ramsey: of mysterious past and exotic features, is an expert in ancient history of the Club, especially everything related to Egypt. Although he claims to despise what he calls "the plundering of the Land of the Gods" frequently visited the British Museum to be surrounded by ancient Egyptian relics found there. 
  • Percival "The Monster." Melancholic figure who live in the basement at one of the Club´s special housing. Although his body is scarred, his pale face is beautiful, with a deep look of sadness. Its hulking body is equipped with a huge strength and endurance that helped more than once the Club in their meddling into things, but it will not leave the quarters anymore. 
  • Sir Luthor Smithson: retired Army Colonel of His Majesty for dishonoring the uniform for not knowing how to properly die, as he apparently can´t die. With different names participated in the wars of the last 250 years. Today belongs to the diplomatic corps at the Foreign Office. When his obligations allow it, he´s often over the Club to play a game of chess, or any new game that has brought from the confines of the Empire with the Turk. 
  • Lion King: also known as King Zambini, ruler of the Dark Jungles of The Kilimanjaro. With strange mystical and totemic abilities , and all the savoir-faire of royalty, he stays in a in a semi-permanent manner at the Club , with its small retinue of houris-bodyguards and his friend (or maybe lover) Linton Maberly. Besides being part of FeeMasonry, it is still unclear if he´s a zoomorphic black man or an anthropomorphic male lion. 
  • Professor Parkins, renowned theologian, besides exorcist and Demonologist in his spare time, is the Keeper of the Club´s Dark Library. It is also the creator of the Portal to the Underworld found in the foundations of the club, and is used as an sewer dump. He calls it "his little revenge on Lucifer for chaining him to a wheelchair." 
  • Lord Ruthven: gentleman of unclear central-european ascent, owns exquisite manners and predatory eyes, he is the definition of the diletantte: he sleeps by day and night wanders from den to den, always partying. Lives at in the Club, as he has not known trade or profit. Seems to have a mesmeric ability, and he has been a member of the club for dozens of years without having aged a day. 
  • Kennebi Meti : "Guardian of The Northern Territories" Perhaps one of the most amazing views of the Club it´s th ancient Sphinx living in one of the penthouses. With the body of a lion, wings of an eagle and man's face (although considered themselves feminine) Kennebi is a sphinx with more than 3000 years, attracted by the strange events of ourstimes, moved from his warm latitudes, attended by her twin servants Gi and Geb. 
  • Mary Poppins: "The Magical Nanny of all Children in England" With mysterious powers, his umbrella takes her flying at the mercy of the wind wherever it is needed. Faithful supporter of children and good manners, she´s a kind-hearted but hard discipline young. Keeps a strange relationship with Queen Maeve, and although "her home is in the heart of every British children" the closest thing to a home that she has is in the Club. 
  • Sir Richard Francis Burton: Orientalist, Military, Adventurer and Lover Exceptional. Member of the Order of Saint George and of the Geographical Society. 
  • Marianne North: travel-lover with the power to paint pictures that will imbue the watcher into the scene portrayed. Lover of botany, has traveled to Egypt and Syria, and his paintings and drawings of the places visited are extremely popular with club members with scientific and historical inclinations. The Hall of the Arena Club is overseed by a dramatic picture of the pyramids of Giza, which say that Mr Ramsey often looks into for hours. 
  • Larry, a two-pence thief with the ability to "blink in space" a reactive form of teleportation that´s not under his control, which greatly hinders his criminal career, but makes it extremely dangerous. With rat-like manners and temperament, he´s still getting used to rub elbows with other club members, although he´s often found there: eating, drinking and sometimes sleeping . 

Strange Denizens of the Middle Victorian Age´s London!
