Igor served the evil wizard lord Mytsh (who named him as a joke) for years before Odo 'inherited' him. A competent ritualist, he lusts after the new slave Melisa, and Odo has been known to zap him (1d8 lightning) when he can't keep his hands off Melisa during the more delicate enchantment work.
1st level arcane ritualist.

A former Oriax Girl from California 2008, taken before Yusan's fall. Sold on by Seroni of Onhir, she recently caught Odo's attention in the Carchimish slave market. Very keen on learning magic, not so keen on dalliances with Igor.

Slave Sumata

Slave Juko Inaba, telepathic Minkai Girl

The privileged and snooty aristocrats Lady Sumata & Lady Rosaria both notoriously survived the brigand occupation by winning the favour of their new overlords, Marnt & Mytsh in particular. The returned once-King Koloth the Old has not treated them so kindly... Now they act as naked serving girls in his Hall, little better than slaves, and beneath the servants they once mistreated. After their alliance with the Brigand Lords, few shed a tear for them.

Enslaved 8/8/47 - Rosaria to Temple of Meroya.
14/8/47 Sir Oghrim the King's Champion is engaged in training Slave Sumata, a task he engages in with some relish.

Juko Inaba, Minkai Slave Girl

AC 11 HD 1d8 HP 5 NM (Psychic)
Taken from her fishing village on Minkai, the Dragon Isle, by vicious Brotherhood pirates, and purchased by a far travelled merchant of Karak, Juko Inaba was shipped west to the Wilderlands and sold to Rolth the Slaver at the notorious Ahyf market. He sold her on in Carchimish where her strange beauty caught the attention of old King Koloth. Juko Inaba is rumoured to have strange telepathic powers... Some say she speaks with a Demon of the Netherworld! She knows the Dragon Tongue, and can even read the minds of visitors for Koloth.

The pirates killed her family, except for her elder sister Yukiko, who was also enslaved, current fate unknown. She appears to be loyal to Koloth.
