Once getting to Grey Wolf Tower, potential recruits are met and introduced to the higher ranking members of the guild and then thrown immediately into the Test dungeon to see what skills the potentials have and to check to make sure they don't die first sent into the field.

Zorn Greuis – Guild-master
A charismatic green and purple speckled gnome, he was once a Knight of the Chain in Bolavidorr and specialised in interpersonal relationships and created the Grey Wolf Mercenary Guild to help people on a more personal level. Zorn left on a gold-class mission, entrusting Isabella with the care of the guild he left alone and hasn't been back since.

Isabella Greuis – Tavern Host
Isabella is a well liked and cheerful character. She welcomes returning members of the Grey Wolves and helps manage the finances as well as the serving various food and drink. She can give helpful advice about a number of subjects and is well adapt at picking up new quests and information. The daughter of Zorn, she shares her father's colouration and love for the little people. She is the highest ranking member in the Guild and at the moment is currently in charge of the guild due to the disappearance of her father. She has a joy of cooking and can generally be found in the common room of Grey Wolf Tower talking and chatting with members.

Barnabus – High Member/Fence
Not much is known about this grim halfling rogue’s past, but he has dedicated his new life to the Grey Wolves. He is a valuable resource as he knows a number of individuals in the Underworld. He is great at making items disappear and gold returning. A scarred and grizzled Halfling, Barnabus is a roguish and intimidating member of the Grey Wolf Mercenary Guild. There are many rumours circlating him and his connections to the Bolavidorr underground, but he always stands behind the ideals of the Guild. He specialises in the transfer and disappearances of items begotten by ill repute and will help members if they need it.

Anne Somothe – High Member/Magic Shop
An elven wizard, she is both a powerful ally as well as a useful way for the PC’s to gain some cheap enchantments. She owns a magic shop and gives some discounts to members of the Grey Wolves. She spends most of her time at the shop however and will only actively fight if the guild itself is in danger. She has a great sense of humour and can be a lot of fun with puns and jokes.

Joyce Del-Signer – High Member/Guild Healer
Joyce, also an elf, was one of the original party members that joined Zorn from the Pathfinder Society. She is a notable healer and offers discounts for full members of the Grey Wolves.

Jo - Quatermaster
Jo is the Grey Wolf quatermaster and weapon trainer. Jo is the only human in the Grey Wolf Mercenary Guild that can be called a High Member. He is a no nonsense individual and can offer several mundane items that can greatly assist members in their work. If the guild tower is under attack, Jo has quite a few tricks to make sure that the attackers will have an incredibly hard time.

Legends
- At one point, one member (called Zarcoth) covered himself in “Mark of the Wolf” and edited it making the lights flash and dance around him. He began to loan himself out to parties and dances calling himself the Living, Dancing Ball. He died from exhaustion.

- An original member of the Grey Wolves went missing decades ago. His mission was to find the missing continent south-east of Galarion, he never returned…

- Some say that Barnabus has a troubled past, but no-one knows what it is. Maybe he might need some help?
