Supporting Cast
  • Cubby, "The Dog-Faced Dog"
    This large male beagle was just a puppy when he was the subject of an awaken animal ritual that gave him human intelligence and the ability to speak Common. Cubby is offended by the idea that he might “belong” to anyone, but the Professor has been his best friend for years. According to the Professor’s outlandish tales, Cubby has traveled the world; survived uncounted amazing adventures; and dined with heroes, villains, religious leaders, and monarchs. Cubby doesn’t dispute anything the Professor claims, but he’s also quick to lavish praise on his traveling companions. The dog therefore comes across as lucky, brave, and humble. He enjoys encouraging others to live their lives to the fullest.
  • Elizia
    Beautiful snake charmer who dazzles audiences with her many exotic snakes.
  • Gidarron Elbus
    A 6-foot-tall, broad-shouldered man with long brown hair, a full beard, and thick mustache that thoroughly obscure his features, Gidarron is skilled at portraying accents and mannerisms from all across Avistan.The Professor claims the “Bearded Man” is an exact double of a significant political figure who must conceal his identity and live on the run. Assassins want to kill him and rival agents want to kidnap him for their own nefarious purposes. The Professor tells exciting stories of the Bearded Man’s many narrow escapes, but he will not confirm which important figure Gidarron is purported to look like; the Professor teases several potential candidates (the most common being the missing Gyr of House Gixx), and Gidarron is swift to adopt matching accents and mannerisms as needed.
  • Hesper and Meitas Jaxis
    Identical twin sisters in their thirties, Hesper and Meitas enjoy the traveling life of the circus. The Professor spins elaborate tales of how the Unjoined Twins were separated at birth and never knew the other existed until very recently, when they met at the circus (a lie, as they grew up together). According to the Professor, the twins’ lives have nevertheless seemed incredibly parallel as a result of bizarre coincidence. One married a miller named Smith, while the other married a smith named Miller. Each was cursed by a different witch on her wedding day: one sister for not inviting the witch to the wedding, theother for disturbing the witch with too many invitations. Both have had four children; one had an eldest child drowned, but other’s youngest child died of thirst in the desert. Both of these deceased children were named Tavi. The list of strange coincidences goes on and on—and grows with every telling.
  • Mayor of Abberton Jae Abber
    Bland human man in his fifties with thinning brown hair and a short beard.
  • Myron Stendhal
    Bombastic showman and leader of the Circus of Wayward Wonders
  • Nellyn Drend
    Talnted orator and priest-banker of the Goldenlaws Church of Abadar. Recently, his reputation has been in decline from calling in outstanding debts and refusing advanced unsecured loans.
  • Nemmia Bramblecloak
    Female hafling zealot who attempts to harm to citizens of Abberton to drive them off of the Isle of Erran to save nature.
  • Tahala Roadwatcher
    Tahala is a middle-aged Shoanti who left her quah, or clan, in Varisia years ago, acting upon omens she received. Like many Shoanti, Tahala is bald, fit, and covered in complex tattoos—notably the roc that spreads across her back and several resembling gemstones. She normally wears a simple cloak with a hood, revealing each of her tattoos before explaining what the illustration represents. A gifted storyteller, Tahala does more than show off her elaborate tattoos to sideshow gawkers; she has wise and witty stories to tell, each with morals about caring for the earth, revering ancestors, and other aspects of Shoanti spiritualism. Tahala sees her position in the Sideshow of Everyday Marvels as an opportunity to enlighten as well as entertain.
  • The Professor Zarlian Kyosophus
    Old and frail human man with a low hoarse voice. He is the narrator and organizer of the Sideshow of Everyday Marvels
