Chicago is a hotbed of criminal activity, especially since Prohibition got started. These days, almost everyone whose anyone in the city is involved in the liquor business, a client of someone in the liquor business, or taking bribes from someone involved in the liquor business. WIth hundreds of gangs operating on the Chicago streets, the only thing keeping Chicago from descending into anarchy is an informal truce regularted by Mike Merlo, the head of Unione Siciliana (a national organization dedicated to assisting Sicilian immigrants in America). The city government is notoriously corrupt, to the point that key city officials are listed above by whose pocket they are in. The mayor, William "Big Bill" Hale Thompson, stands out as being even more corrupt than his underlings.

Valerie Pryce is a member of Ordo Corvi and a childhood friend (or [[{{UST}} possibly]] [[WillTheyOrWontThey more]]) of Dana's. She shares his flair for the dramatic, but apparently not his distaste for murder. She met the Spirit Centurions at the Ordo Corvi auction in Archangel and soon again in France, where she requested that they investigate a series of suspicious accidents that had befallen her production of TheTempest. In the end, she was revealed to be at least complicit in the accidents and to have committed murder herself, seemingly all for the purpose of making a point to Dana in the most dramatic way possible.

* [=~Chekhov's Gunman~=]: Though he's connected to two of the player characters in the backstory, he didn't do much in his first appearance, leaving his true role unknown.

* [=~Chekhov's Gunman~=]: She was little more than a name during her first appearance, but her growing connection with Spiro could lead to much more . . .

* [=~Chekhov's Gunman~=]: Her importance in the broader story wasn't revealed until Ian Cook identified her husband.

Samson is... odd. He has been experimented on in the past, giving him the minds of six men, while retaining his mighty might. Does his intellect show? [[{{Understatement}} Not really.]] Samson is brash, moronic, uncontrollable, completely lacking in social skills, and very, very strong.

* AngstWhatAngst: His two mentors were murdered and rendered unto a BrokenPedestal, respectively, and he had to cut himself off from his entire adoptive family, all within the space of a few days. He doesn't seem too broken up about it, on a day-to-day basis.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: He's plagued by hallucinations, possibly due to brain damage.

!!!Maxim Petrovich Komorov
Mr. Komorov is an accomplished Red Russian violinist who was invited to the 1922 Ziggenheim Symposium due to his work involving the harmonics of violin strings. He obviously didn't have much of a chance at the Prize. After dinner on the first night of the Symposium, he gave a very moving violin performance that attracted Dr. Methuselah's interest. He later played at the New York Metropolitan Opera House, where his signature song again felt unfinished, though it was longer than the performance at the Ziggenheim Symposium. Komorov disappeared in the chaos after the gunshots, but he reappeared in Methuselah's box talking to the Black Hand agent. Their conversation was interrupted by Angel Rose, who shot Komorov, causing him to fall backwards over the railing. When getting treatment from Ekk, all he would say about "White Mask" is that she was an enemy of the state. In part due to Ekk's help, Komorov survived his injuries and returned to Russia.
* Aspects: Prideful Prodigy
