E'san
Currently E’san is in bad shape due to his last couple boughts with Hades’ visions. He is being cared for in relative safety in Highgate.
The linchpin that originally brought The Goons together. E’san is a man of mystery, though it is known that he was originally in a mage hunter’s guild called the Stone Eagles - though he left before it became a full-on terrorist cell. He also was a well-known mercenary for a while, which has allowed him his fair share of contacts. However, about 25 years ago he began having visions. They were faint at first, but have grown in intensity ever since. This, of course, escalated with the arrival of Melinoe Expspiravit, as these visions were the work of her father. Hades had to ensure that Melione would be well taken care of before sending her off to another plane of existence after all, and while he didn’t trust E’san to raise her, he did trust him to get her to Rhea Mythorious. As a result, Melinoe refers to him as her uncle.
E’san’s visions are growing steadily worse and have begun to take a serious toll on his health - often causing him to have seizure-like fits whenever Hades deems it necessary to send a message. He desperately wants to help Melinoe in the hopes that these visions will stop, but he also doesn’t necessarily approve of her “escapades” and tends to offer aid from afar. Examples of this are when he provided an urn for Jora, as well as a book of communication - which Melinoe ended up having to pick up in Caelfall.
E’san is also not immune to his past. While attempting to meet with The Goons, he was captured in a deal gone wrong in Highgate. While it was not their intention to execute him, just hold him for a kind of ransom, E’san’s connection to the Stone Eagles ultimately made him wanted in Caelfall. Specifically, he had been wanted for past crimes against the state’s arcane studies, thievery from the White Palace libraries, association with the mage hunter’s terrorist cell the Stone Eagles, and the assassination of the previous headmaster, Horovar. His bounty had been set at 15,000 gold. However, The Goons were able to help him escape his fate, and he is now on the run.
