NPCs

 * Mama Lu - A very small, frail looking, elderly Asian woman. Mama Lu is a performer at the Carnival, a healer, and is known to have unusual insight and sensitivity to the supernatural. Her appearances are misleading as she is incredibly fit, graceful, and dangerous when she needs to be.
 * Lunk - The animal handler at the Carnival, he's great with animals and a man who has been genetically gifted with every attractive characteristic a man could have - features that look like they were designed to be carved into marble.
 * Lucia Fuerte - The Carnival's 'strong man', Lucia is a 19 years old woman who is slender and generally impassive, and capable of incredible feats of strength.
 * David - The Carnival's clown, a pale, scabby, skinny, shadowy guy in burlap pants that wears a red leather bag hung in front of him around his neck.
 * Eustace - Head engineer at the Carnival, he designs and maintains many of the rides. He's an older man and Midas' boss.
 * Leonard - One of Nightlinger's right hand men, the leader of the technical set up side of the carnival. A very tall barrel chested Black man with a lovely twirled moustache. Does not approve of frivolity.
 * Zeke Oswald - The teenage 'sous chef' who works with Carnival chef Leduc
 * Rafael Leduc - The french chef who cooks for the Carnival, a world-renowed five star chef.
