Name: Mimic Chest
Appearance: It's a long and tall creature that disguises itself as a chest to eat adventurers. It has a lot of sharp teeth, a sticky tongue he uses to trap adventurers in his mouth and very long limbs. Totally a chest filled with riches, I swear.
Background: He traveled from dungeon to dungeon and ate some people alive. It's a chest in the middle of nowhere with extremely valuable loot inside. Who could have left this here, in the middle of a dungeon?

Appearance: On the younger side, decked out in artificer's garb, with a backpack full of parts and a pair of magic-detecting goggles.

Name: Flailer
Appearance: A duck clad in a purple cloak.
Background: Ordinary duck background until a lonely retired mage with bad eyesight mistook him for an apprentice. He was given this cloak on the day of graduation and the name Flailer for his tendency to flail around wildly in combat and somehow masterfully flay his opponents.

Name: Jefari Plankfinger, Duke of [TOWN]
Appearance: A fairly average, dark-haired man of a fairly young age. Usually wears an odd smile that ranges from wry to bemused to... somewhat unhinged. Somewhat unkempt, despite the best efforts of the household servants. The most impressive thing about him is without a doubt his carefully cultivated goatee, which he is given to stroking whilst deep in thought or otherwise distracted.
Background: Recently became ruler of [TOWN] after the really,
really tragic deaths of his father and three older brothers in a wholly unexpected, unthinkable freak hunting mishap that was wholly accidental and certainly not anyone's fault. Public opinion of the young noble is fairly unanimously "meh" - he's pretty much useless and leaves most of the actual governing to his advisors, but perhaps that's for the best. He's fairly harmless. Certainly an improvement from his cruel, tyrannical father and his tougher, nastier older brothers.
Fun fact: the Plankfinger dynasty's origins lie with Jef's great-grandfather, a peasant who, thanks to the bizarre and supposedly "progressive" employer liability laws in a neighbouring land, was able to use his obscene sum of compensation money after crushing his right index finger during the construction of the king's new manor to purchase the makings of a small duchy, whilst his homeland fell into lawlessness and ruin after its strange legal practices caused it to go bankrupt.
