Master Shanil and Constable Pocket

Master Shanil, ratfolk arcanist, adventurer, and schemer. He wields a scythe, and that scythe is knowledge. He's join the Ardent (Mort's most loyal followers) as he believes that Mortimer has somehow stumbled upon some secret of great power. Shanil is willing to stand uncomfortably close behind Mort and ride those coat-tails all the way to the sky.
