Sir Richard Kirby.- Human aged 40. Captain and General of the Northern Fleet out of Cassan.
  (Due to the rigours of his life at sea, though still vigorous he looks considerably older and could be mistaken for being the same age as his master. Youngest son of Henry Kirby, captain of the Rhafallia, and named after Richard Fitzwilliam, Alaric's squire who died in his arms on board the Rhafallia in Deryni Checkmate. Took service with Dhugal in the 1140's when the latter first started to build a northern fleet the primary purpose of which was to improve the prosperity of the coastal areas of his duchy through trade. As this has developed and gone as far afield as Tolan and the southern shore of the Southern Sea (precious metals are found in Cassan) Kelson has increasingly made use of Richard Kirby for discreet diplomatic purposes. )
Kirby was Knighted by Dhugal after his escapade to burn half the Norse fleet as it was anchored in the loch--- beyond Ballymar.

Seamus Graham  -- Borderer with second sight bordering on Deryni Powers aged 30. From a crofting family near Ballymar who have turned to fishing to supplement their living. As a young lad Seamus takes service in one of Dhugal's ships.
Initially resentful of Richard Kirby, which led to severe reprisals from Dhugal, there has grown mutual respect between him and Richard and at the time of this story he is Captain of The Rose, the flagship of the fleet. He honours Dhugal but is still wary of him.

Actually Feyd is not a loyalist to the Mearan cause or even truly a supporter of Duke Teymuraz. Feyd is a hired mercenary with a particular set of skills. That being tracking down Deryni and capturing them. Generally for other Deryni but sometimes for Humans as well. Kinda like a bounty hunter/assassin. He is Torenthi. He has accepted the contract to capture the Duke of Crowyn's younger brother and bring him before the Duke.

Good minor characters, everyone. Nice to know a little about them. I'm curious about the Scholar.

The Scholar is Feyd. Washburn just doesn't know his name.
