2	!! ''Empire of Gryphus''
3
4	[[folder:Garrick Golden-Feather]]PlayerCharacter of the Quest, who was King of Griffonia and later Emperor of Gryphus. Prior to becoming King, Garrick was a merchant moving goods between the canyons, caves and forests that allowed his people to hide from Discord. He was the last known living descendant of the great Griffon Emperors of old and ascended to the throne of Griffonia when the previous king died.

6	----
7	* AmazonChaser: Out of all the possibilities for marriage, Garrick chose [[LadyOfWar Gabriella]].
8	* BeautyIsBest: Has the Attractive trait.
9	* TheEmperor: Of TheGoodKing variety.
10	** GodEmperor: PlayedWith. The Imperial Cult holds the belief that the Garrick and the rest of the royal family are [[PhysicalGod gods given flesh]]. This is a belief that Garrick finds more than a little uncomfortable, but doesn't actively discourage or encourage.
11	* GeniusBruiser: Has both the Genius and Strong traits, which effectively makes him this. Thanks to the TrainingFromHell he endured under his wife, Garrick is noted to be extremely muscular, and prior to being king, he was an incredibly skilled business graph.
12	* HappilyMarried: With Gabriella are quite happily married. In fact, [[spoiler:[[ThePowerOfLove their love is so strong it managed to power the Crystal Heart and destroy Sombra!]]]]
13	* * INeedAFreakingDrink: The absurd successes of the intelligence branch constantly drive Garrick to seek solace in the wine cellar.
14	* TheMagnificent: Garrick has a few of these, including "The Unifier", "The Lightbringer", and "The Liberator".
15	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Garrick is not an idle king by any stretch of the imagination, as he gets very involved in the day to day running of the country and ensuring that Gryphus prospers and actively fights in any wars his nation gets involved in. This has lead to him being completely loved by his people, to the point where his son Gawain worries he won't be able to live up to his father's example when he becomes king.
16	* UnexpectedSuccessor: Garrick was just a merchant before becoming king. After the last king died a thorough search and examination of the genealogical records revealed that he was the only living descendant of the old Gryphus Imperial family.
17	* UniversallyBelovedLeader: Garrick is ''massively'' beloved by his subjects.

22
23	Garrick's wife and Empress of the Empire Gryphus. She is the third child and only daughter of Federico Montefeathertro, ruler of the prosperous city-state of Urbirdo. Prior to marrying Garrick, she had been missing for four years, having gotten bored with living in her father's estate, [[KingIncognito disguising herself as a landless peasant]] and [[PrivateMilitaryContractors joined a mercenary company.]]
24
25	----
26
27	* AccidentalAimingSkills: When Gabriella took over a Flame Projector against Sombra's army, her shot missed the army but triggered an avalanche that took out her intended target. [[BlatantLies She swears that this]] [[IMeantToDoThat was all intentional]].
28	* ActionGirl: Definitely.
29	* DamnYouMuscleMemory: PlayedWith in-universe. Gabriella reflexively beheads a random chicken with a throwing knife due to experience with cockatrices.
30	* TheDragonslayer: As part of her background, she fought and managed to kill a dragon!
31	* HappilyMarried: With Garrick.
32	* LadyOfWar: Gabriella in a nutshell.
33	* WomenPreferStrongMen: After Garrick bulked up from his training with her, Gabriella became a lot more appreciative of her husband's physic. In fact, she became pregnant twice because of her appreciation.
34
35	!!! '''Gawain Golden-Feather'''

37	Garrick and Gabriella's firstborn child and Crown Prince of the Empire. A series of interludes follow him and his friendships.
38
39	----
40
41	* BeautyIsBest: Like his father before him, he has the Attractive trait, making Gawain a pretty handsome griffon.
42	* GeniusBruiser: Both Strong and a Genius like his father. He even has a higher Martial score than both his parents!
43	* InterspeciesFriendship: With Ki Seong, a Qilin.
44	* MyHovercraftIsFullOfEels: Gawain attempts to speak Neighponese to Ki Seong when they first meet. We don't get to see a translation of what he said, but the interlude makes it clear he bungled it.
45	* PrinceCharming: He is kind, intelligent, and charming.
46	* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Desperately wants to be this, feeling as though he was a ShelteredAristocrat when both his parents managed to accomplish great things and fears he won't live up to his father's legacy. His friend Ki Seong thinks he is being too hard on himself. He eventually gets charged with assisting the Empire's diplomacy efforts.
47	* SmartPeoplePlayChess: Possess the Games Master trait. He actually becomes friends with Sebastian when the latter nervously approached him at a party and asked if [[CommonalityConnection he wanted to play a game sometime.]]
48	* WhatDidIDoLastNight: Gawain and his friend Sebastian wakes up in an inn at the Crystal City after drinking a potent brew of mushroom moonshine given to them by Archimedes. When Gawain woke up he had a conspicuously placed plant next to him, a fake moustache glued to his beak, his coin purse having more than it did when he’d first arrived in the Crystal City. They never did figure out what happened, but over the years, rumors and bits of hearsay would reach them and they have to question which were accurate and which were exaggerated.
49	* TheWisePrince: Definitely.
50
51	!!! '''Gwyndlyn Golden-Feather'''
52
53	The dragon adopted daughter of Garrick and Gabriella, she is a princess of the empire and is the Designated Regent.
54
55	----
56
57	* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: Goes without saying.
58	* CaringGardener: Has the Gardener trait.

61	* HappilyAdopted: She is quite happy with her adopted family.
62	* InterspeciesAdoption: She is a dragon adopted into a family of griffons.
63	* IntergenerationalFriendship: Became friends with Kōryū Ryūō, who she keeps in correspondence with. Doubles as an InterspeciesFriendship.
64	* NoodleIncident: In one update, Gleaming Pearl comes to alert Garrick that Gwyndlyn set the curtains on fire ''again'', implying she has set fire to the curtains on multiple occasions.
65	* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She has a pretty decent Martial score (even with a malus due to her age) and is noted to have an interest in military strategy and played in mock battles with her brother when she was younger, but is also an avid gardener and keeps up with the latest fashion trends.

78
79	!!! '''Gleaming Pearl'''
80
81	The adopted Crystal Pony daughter of Garrick and Gabriella, their fourth child and third oldest overall. She was adopted after The Winter War by the Golden-Feather, both to help one of the many orphaned foals after the war and to help ease the people of the Empire into the idea of accepting the Crystal Ponies.
82
83	----
84
85	* AdoptedIntoRoyalty: Again, goes without saying.
86	* BeautyIsBest: Has the Beautiful trait.

101	* AnArmAndALeg: Prior to the events of the Quest, he lost a wing, an eye, and a hind leg to a particularly vicious Manticore.
102	* CareerEndingInjury: After being mauled by a Manticore, his career as a Troll Hunter was over. During his retirement, he admits to Garrick that because of his injuries he thought that his life was over and he'd never contribute to anything ever again.
103	* CoveredWithScars: He is noted to be heavily scarred due to his former career as a Troll Hunter and his mauling by a Manticore.
104	* DrowningMySorrows: While always a spirited drinker, after the battle of Redstone Pass he started drinking out of sorrow due to knowing many of those who perished there. He gets better though (see HeroicVow below).
105	* HeroicVow: Swore not to consume a drop of alcohol until the losses of Redstone Pass had been avenged, and the threat of Sombra was dealt with once and for all.
106	* ManlyTears: He sheds a few during his retirement as Garrick hands him the Imperial Cross medal, the highest honor a civilian can be granted, as a reward for all his years of service.
107	* RedBaron: Known as "The Old Troll Hunter."
