Augaustus von Gould is as roguish as Rogue Trader goes; suspected of numerous less-than-legal actions, including (but not limited to) piracy, smuggling, cold trading, Theft of tithe, numerous assassination of high ranking Adptus officials (he was the power behind the killing of one of the PC's father , who was killed by the PC no less, tricked into believing her father was cutting off the top from the tithe), harbouring, selling arms and resources to enemies of the Imperium. He evade justice by his own Warrant of Trade, "leaving the scene" before official inquires can be had, and plausible deniability (most of his dealings being handled by his agents, minions and third parties.)

Rogue Trade von Gould has not set foot in the Imperium for decades now, at least 70-80 years since entering the Koronus Expanse, leaving his numerous ships (from merchant vessels to cruisers) sailing to Port Wander or the Calixis Sector to conduct his nefarious deeds.

They learned that von Gould has been hiring mercs with good regularity for the last 20-30 years, and by mercs, it's the thuggish, sadistic type,who'd kill their own mother for a handful of thrones, lousy reputation and crappy ethics. He also moved alot of colonists but very little, if any, missionaries with them.

Mira-Female assassin (now Interrogator), she was tricked to kill her own father by her master, Gallus- during the coup d'état, she shockingly learned that Gallus was/is working for von Gould. He was killed, but turns out it was some mechanical decoy (a Life Model Decoy). Later he was again killed (with blood and guts) during the Eldar Weapon trade that took a turn for the horrible). She learned that her father was a Throne Agent, her family bound to the Inquisition since eons, adding to the irony of it all. Excellent social skills, agile fighter; she's got an Eldar flip Belt, Lathe Blade and a pair of custom auto-pistols

Grendel- male Tech-Priest, Divinie Light of Sollex, (Now Magos) Young Grendel wanted to be a soldier when he grow up; instead he became a Tech-Priest and joined the Sollex Cult. Quite pious, almost zealot. Build for combat, with dragonscale armour, augur implants, cerebral implant, optical, utility, medicae, ballistic and weapon mecharendrites. He's got an integrated Lathes las rifle, Mecharendrite bolt pistol, mecharendrite power blade, Omnissiah Axe and possibly half a dozen other weapons I'm forgetting because he didn't used them recently...and let's not begin with all the Luminen powers he's got.

Jon- Male Arbitrator Pattern Killing (now Judge) Jon started not as an acolyte, but as a Liaison Agent during the hunt for the Gloom Haunt, a costumed vigilante stalking Hive Sibellus. A loner in the Arbites due to his obsession with a string of murders, the brass figured having him as liaison might cool his jets, Jon saw this as a way to gain more information on his murdering suspect. After getting locked away by the =I= for walking in the Tricorn alone (only took 3 hours worth of paperwork by the others to get him free), serving with example, not to mention managing to impress the Inquisitor by acting solo without his own acolyte figuring it out, Jon was made an acolyte and had a rather quick ascension within his own Adeptus, to reach the rank of Judge.

Lyra- Female Guardsman, that flame-centric alternate rank from Daemon Hunter (now Storm Trooper) Lyra is a Guardsman first and foremost, cool, collected, saw it all. Expert markswoman with las pistols (now hellpistols) she also has a plasmagun, with which she enjoy burning off whoever dares stand against the Emperor and any of His servants.

Lady Charlabelle Armelan (they learned that she's a solid and honourable type) with her merchant vessel the Grace of Sopha

Jeremiah Blitz (Using his Arbites conenction, Jon learned of the man's reputation as a scoundrel and cold trader) with his cruiser, the Ordained Destiny

Patrol Group XC-2 (composed of an Endeavour Cruiser and a pair of Sword frigate, commanded by Commodore Rivers, who herself got a good reputation as a cunning captain)
