Sergeant Maren Holt
A veteran of the Ptolus City Watch who knows every district, every gang, and every shortcut in the city built at the base of the impossibly tall Spire. Maren fights crime on the streets above while something ancient and malevolent stirs in the dungeons below.

Character Details
Maren joined the Ptolus City Watch at eighteen and has spent sixteen years walking beats through every district from the Nobles' Quarter to the Warrens. She has seen the city's full spectrum: corrupt nobles, desperate refugees, cultists worshipping things beneath the Spire, and ordinary people trying to live decent lives in an extraordinary city. She earned her sergeant's badge by breaking up a Balacazar crime family operation in the Docks and survived two assassination attempts as a result. Recently, disturbances from below the city — tremors, strange sounds, missing patrol officers — have convinced Maren that the dungeons beneath Ptolus hold something worse than the usual monsters. She's assembling a team to investigate.
"I know the name of every shopkeeper on my beat. A good guard protects people, not just property."
"Justice. The law exists to protect the powerless from the powerful. I enforce it accordingly."
"Ptolus is my city. Every district, every alley, every citizen is under my protection."
"I trust the system even when the system is broken. I believe in reform when revolution might be warranted."

A fit, alert woman in polished City Watch half-plate bearing the lion-and-spire emblem of Ptolus. A longsword and a heavy crossbow are her standard patrol loadout, and a set of manacles hangs from her belt alongside a badge that has seen a lot of use. Her posture is parade-ground straight, even off duty.
