''A man falling apart, Captain Sforza formerly led a company of crossbowmen selling their services in the frequent clashes between Tilean city-states. At a battle near the Blighted Marshes he lost almost the entirety of his force when the earth shook and cracked open, swallowing men whole and throwing up great plumes of toxic vapour. Ever since (former friends say his mind is affected) his dreams have been haunted by visions of Mordheim, the doomed city. He chose to muster up those few soldiers of his who remained loyal and burnt the last contents of his paybox on an expedition there. Ludovico lusts for a better life, as a merchant prince, great noble or famous - and retired - mercenary in one of the fine cities of his homeland. This great passion drives him on even as his mind fails him, chancing his all on one last trip to the city of the dead.''

''A peasant-born Breton, Mercadier left - or perhaps had to leave - his native land at an early age and made his living as a sellsword for almost a decade before falling in with Captain Sforza. His callous cruelty and bloodthirstiness have served him well in his long years as a mercenary and he swifty rose to become the Captain's right-hand man - especially where dirty or bloody work was required. Mercadier is derisive of Sforza's desire for a better life, of the religiosity of Pallas, of those few fallen nobles in the company. For him the mud, gore, the falling blades and arrows of battle are the only things worth living for. In Mordheim he feels he can prove his mettle beyond doubt.''

''A bankrupt fop from Pavona, Braccio has fallen in with the Company in a desperate gambit to avoid his creditors and remake his fortune. His skill with a blade and exaggerated stories of contacts among the noble families of his home city convinced the Captain to hire him. Tensions run high between Braccio and Mercadier, and in general his disdain for the coarser attitudes of his fellow mercenaries make him unpopular. He thinks of Mordheim as a great adventure, and will surely be taught a cruel lesson by the cursed city. Fortebracci follows him around like a wounded pup.''

''By his accent clearly high-born, Fortebracci is a callow young man who refuses to speak of his past or his reasons for joining Sforza's expedition. Having paid to enter the company, the Captain is content to let him die in its service - as Sforza and the rest of the warband believe he will. He sticks closest to Braccio, who he shares some common ground with, and Pallas, who is fanatical and overbearing but at least doesn't mock.''
