Adam's Employees

In his travels, Adam McClarrin of Johnny and the Jets fame, found that he had a somewhat unhealthy obsession for strange people. Fortunate for him, strange people seemed to cross his path constantly. Adam wanted to continue interacting with these people, so he hired them onto his investigation business. However, it would be more accurate to say he sheltered them, as they were often hired for little to no pay, but granted them a place to stay within the Jets Bar and Grill.

Jimothy
699 AG -

Jimothy was the first of Adam's employees, as well as one of the only employees to receive pay. The party came across him when he escaped from his previous hobby of being a cult member when a ritual turned violent. Jimothy functioned as Adam's assistant, which turned out to be a very broad role, as he essentially did whatever Adam wanted him to, with routine being a rare commodity. Jimothy also served to ground Adam and call out his strange ideas and requests with very verbally expressed confusion and concern. But Jimothy never wished to tell let Adam down, so he almost always followed through for his boss. The party took an extreme liking to the human, and learned that he is a man of many hats. Throughout his life, Jimothy has worked just about every known occupation at least for a small amount of time. Whether Adam acknowledged it or not, he soon became very dependent on Jimothy, both psychologically and emotionally.

Jimothy lived for an incredibly long time, not aging for hundreds of years. He has no idea how this is possible, but attributes it to Adam, who he still serves after all this time, stating that Adam pays him to stay alive, so he does.

Significant
704 AG - 777 AG

Significant was a previously unnamed Chitine who was being forced to use her innate magical prowess to aid her father in his occupation... as a highway bandit. Significant was frequently abused and reminded just how insignificant and replaceable she was. The party killed her bandit father and offered to hide her away at Adam's investigation building. When asked what her name was, she told them she didn't have one, at which point the party offered that she could make her own name. This name was the start of a new, much happier chapter of her life; she could be anything, she could be Significant. Significant wanted to dabble in all the new things life has to offer that were previously unavailable to her. Jimothy gladly gathered several items for typical hobbies. Significant found one she enjoyed very much and stuck to like glue, and that was painting.

The God of the Sea
662 AG - 734 AG

The self-proclaimed God of the Sea resided in the frigid north of Amaref... in the town of Last Light... miles from the ocean or even lake. The man claimed that every body of water, no matter the size, was his domain. And vehemently believed that he ruled over all of them... despite the fact that he has never seen the ocean. Adam took an interest in him for this reason and brought him to Grimharbor, where he ecstatically made a shack out of driftwood on the beach. The God of the Sea demanded that he be brought freshly caught fish as an offering each day. A task that was added to Jimothy's ever-increasing list of chores.

Thamur Jötunn
509 AG - 721 AG

Thamur was the Jarl of his village of frost giants to the north. The giants had once known the location of The Great Void, which made them a threat to The Lich King, who's phylactery may have been located within. As such, the lich came to the village and offered some members of the clan a mere modicum of his power, then left. This angered the members of the clan that were not blessed, especially because the clan's hierarchy is determined through raw physical strength, so magic confounded this. Eventually tension rose until a civil war broke out, killing most of the clan. The remaining clansmen left the village or died off, leaving only Thamur; who was forced to receive the lich's blessing, which caused him to endlessly regenerate, leaving him unable to die due to the environment or by malnutrition. As such, Thamur waits atop the ruins of the village waiting for capable warriors to find him so that he may challenge them and die a warrior's death.

This is the point at which the Johnny and the Jets found the giant. Thamur told them of his plight and challenged them, at which point Johnny was able to convince the giant to join the party and aide them in their fight against the Lich King. Thamur decided that possibly killing these adventurers that aim to stop the source of his grievance would be counterintuitive. So, he showed the party the way to The Great Void and walked them back to Grimharbor, along with his two winter wolves. At the town, Adam "hired" him, and he resided in a destroyed fortress nearby.

Few residents of Grimharbor noticed, but the air seemed to get a little colder from this day on. Fewer knew that the giant became the Guardian of Grimharbor for some time. When the climactic battle against the lich finally commenced, Thamur joined the fray and cut down swathes of undead. Eventually, Thamur succumbed to to writhing horde and died a warrior's death on the battlefield. Many soldiers noticed the air grow warmer as his massive corpse collided with the ground below.

The Pellar
657 AG - 720 AG

The Pellar is a strange herbalist that strictly speaks in the third person. He suddenly appeared on day in a sea cave near Grimharbor, creating a concoction that attracted some creatures to the town, then attracted the adventuring party. The pellar disposed of his concoction and began a philosophical dialogue with them. The pellar questioned the players, asking if they believed that they had free will; that is to say, if they have control of their own actions. The Pellar believed that they were merely puppets in some strange game controlled by beings beyond their comprehension. The pellar then enacted a sort of ritual with the party and asked the higher powers at hand to release the adventurers of their foul shackles, the cruelly forced upon them, and tear apart the contract binding these prisoners to their servitude. But the ritual was unsuccessful, and strangely enough, the Pellar seemed to just disappear a few days after Adam had decided to hire him.

Vincent Trench
? -

Vincent Trench is the only qualified investigator that can be found within Adam McClarrin Investigation (including Adam of course), and was respectfully paid as such. Vincent Trench was a professional investigator within Khiba, but had no permanent roots there. One day he decided he wanted to mix things up a little and lend his investigational skills to the small town of Grimharbor. Vincent had plenty of jobs to work on in the corrupt town, with very little aid, especially because Adam McClarrin Investigation had no other investigators (yes still including Adam). Few people knew Vincent on a personal level, and that status was maintained here as well, as none of his coworkers seemed to ask him anything at all and hired him on the spot upon realizing he was an actual investigator. That didn't bother Vincent whatsoever though, as he was more than happy to investigate this crime capital without being hounded.

Zug Zug
701 AG - 738 AG

Zug Zug was an orc originally meant to be hired as security for the tavern beneath the investigation business. But Adam took interest upon noticed his resume, which primarily detailed a story of the time he lifted an entire cart and impressed everyone in his tribe (stated in a much less articulated fashion). Zug Zug did little for the investigation company except move furniture around (especially heavy furniture) when he was bored and attempt to impress his boss however he could (typically by lifting heavy objects).
