We have already introduced the leader of the new faction and the other heroes. Now it’s time for the common characters!
Max Otto & Johann Braun
Among the invaluable collaborators of the Imperial Intelligence, there was no shortage of individuals involved in various forms of criminal activity. Max and Johann are exactly that kind of people. They have extensive connections among the locals—Max excels at blending into the crowd, while Johann is a true master of street brawls.
ATTENTION! The faction cards for all the characters described are available in the “Kircher & Octavia” set.
The miniatures needed to field Max and Johann can be found in the Anno Domini 1666 Core Set and the Thugs expansion.
Gerhard Müller
Octavia’s father didn’t rely solely on individuals from the criminal underworld—he also had agents within the city guard. The only one still at his daughter’s disposal is Gerhard Müller.
The miniatures of the Watchman and his loyal schnauzer can be found in Swords of Light and Darkness and Vienna Locals.
Elian Kloss i Hans Schmidt
Elian and Hans are former soldiers, always ready to don their helmets and breastplates and take up arms.
The miniatures of the Footmen can be found in the Anno Domini 1666 Core Set and Footmen expansion.
Ursula
The best agent of the Imperial Intelligence was Ursula, a courtesan. She was the source of the most valuable information. After the death of the Piccolominis, she stopped cooperating with the authorities and decided to go into hiding for her own safety. However, when she learned that the daughter of her murdered employer had begun an investigation, she decided to help her.
Ursula is no ordinary courtesan; she is the best agent of Massimo Piccolomini. She excels at using a dagger, preparing poisons, and sneaking unnoticed through the streets of Vienna.
The Courtesan miniature can be found in the Anno Domini 1666 Core Set and the Vienna Locals expansion.
Friedrich Hoffmann
Friedrich is a wealthy merchant, thriving in his trade. He lives comfortably, yet few remember that his success wasn’t always a certainty. Almost twenty years prior, as a young man, he stood on the edge of ruin. It was then that a loan arrived, seemingly a stroke of fortune, which he wisely invested… or so the official story goes. In truth, his path was darker. He struck a secretive partnership with the Imperial Intelligence.
For those who cross the wrong line, Hoffmann might very well be the last person they encounter. His presence is silent, but deadly—like a shadow slipping through the cracks of Vienna, unnoticed until it’s far too late.
The Merchant miniature can be found in the Anno Domini 1666 Core Set and the Vienna Locals expansion.
Felix
Finally, the only common character who isn’t a former agent of Maximilian Piccolomini but rather a servant of his daughter—a teenage orphan. He quietly harbors feelings for his employer. Feliks, as befits a servant, is best suited as a companion to a shooter. However, this tactic requires fielding a mercenary, which is why, unlike the basic version of the servant, Feliks can shoot. While he’s far from a sniper, he can still land accurate shots. Additionally, if Kircher equips him with a telescope, he becomes a highly effective long-range shooter.
The miniatures of the Servant can be found in Swords of Light and Darkness and Vienna Locals.
