Full Name: Miach and MacEoghan Meagher
Age (Actual/Appearance): 90 / 25-30
General Physical Description: 6', 180lbs, or thereabouts. Micaiah prefers to work out while Micah remains lanky and awkward.
Birth: 1923, Ireland
Background/Ethnicity: Tried and true Irishmen

---

Position in Time: Lieutenant Timekeepers

---

Bio: The twins were born Miach and MacEoghan Meagher. They were orphaned at five years old and left to fend for themselves. At eight years old, they were court-ordered to attend St. Joseph's Industrial School for Boys in Letterfrack. Because of bullying and abuse by the Brothers in charge, the boys escaped just two years later.

The boys were adopted by a fisherman and his family in Clonakilty where they took the name Mac Carthaigh. During World War II, while Ireland remained neutral, the boys' adopted parents were killed in a haphazard bombing. The twins were the youngest children and the only ones still at home. After the bombing, they left Ireland and made for Canada.

While dealing with immigration, their names were changed to something more "pronounceable" and they became Micah and Micaiah. Due to a miscommunication, their last name was changed to Dearbhfhine which was changed to Durvin.

Micaiah always had an odd affinity. While in Canada, they were more properly introduced to Time and began training. Their travels eventually took them to Vancouver where they stayed during the Dispersal. There they met up with Lily Guile. Micah and Lily started a relationship which followed them into the United States. After the Dispersal, they parted ways.

The twins remained on the West Coat until 2004 when Lily wrote to Micah and told him that District Four needed a couple of Lieutenants. The twins moved to Charleston and became Lieutenant Timekeepers under Walter Forbes.

Full Name: Rifun Félix Ndolo
Age (Actual/Appearance): 117 / 28-32
General Physical Description: 6'1", 190lbs, or thereabouts. Athletic but often underestimated for his slight appearance. Could often pass during the 1950's and 60's, but still has noticeably darker skin when compared to a Caucasian. He keeps waist-length brown hair tied back and usually can't be bothered with more than a hoodie and jeans. Missing the index and middle fingers on his right hand.
Birth: March 13, 1897, Mahitsy, Madagascar
Background/Ethnicity: While his biological father was a French soldier, Rifun more closely identifies with his Malagasy mother. He also prefers to identify with his family's Malasay* roots, rather than be absorbed into the greater Merina ethnic group.

---

Position in Time: Warden Timekeeper (Runner)

---

Bio: Rifun was born as the result of rape during the Menalamba Revolution in Madagascar. He was raised primarily by his mother, as his stepfather remained largely indifferent towards him, preferring to focus his efforts on his own children. In 1915, Rifun joined Vy Vato Sakelika, a Malagasy nationalist group, and was subsequently arrested and sentenced to hard labor. While working, he was exposed to Time and so began working to improve his Time abilities.

When he finally returned home, Rifun found the entire island had been brought under French rule. Because of his disgrace, his stepfather ordered him to leave. Rifun decided to make his way to France and Europe at large, where he spent the better part of his time in architecture and theater.

It is largely unknown what his exact dealings in Time were during this period as he accelerated through the ranks, eventually becoming a Warden Timekeeper before being discovered as a Cult member and having dealings with Calis Cutthroat. He faked his death and disappeared for several decades before resurfacing in West Virginia in 2013.

Full Name: Sifura "Three-Heart"
Age (Actual/Appearance): Unknown
General Physical Description: 6', 180lbs, or thereabouts.
Birth: On a planet far, far away...
Background/Ethnicity: Xur

---

Position in Time: Triage Harvester / Hand of Scientifically Primitive and Unengaged Civilizations

---

Bio: Sifura is a rare tri-color Xur of the Xresa faction. As such, she was automatically being groomed for leadership through knowledge of healing, hunting, battle, politics, and other assorted leadership roles. When she was a young adult out to prove her worth as an adult of the tribe and future leader, she came across a Scout who had fallen into the claws of a xur. He anointed her with a Time Capsule and brought her into Time.

As Sifura trained in Time and became more and more proficient, her aging slowed. To her people, she seemed to be divinely gifted for leadership and was named leader. While she continued training as a Harvester, she always harbored a bit of regret that she continued to do so, even as she became Hand. Often she justified her training by saying that she would be the bit of bright light in an otherwise dark place. This was proven true when she helped Tommen to gather the hasax flower and bring a cure home to Walter.

Full Name: Tommen Teo Forbes
Age (Actual/Appearance): 166 / 16
General Physical Description: 6', 170lbs, or thereabouts. Skinny, pale as death, thick flop of brown hair.
Birth: 1847, Appalachian Mountains, West Virginia
Background/Ethnicity: Born to Welsh immigrants, Tommen is a child of the mountains

---

Position in Time: Probationary Timekeeper

---

Bio: Tommen was born in the wilds of Appalachia, not far from present-day Charleston, to Teo and Maisy Forbes. An avid explorer, he went out to explore an almost-sealed-off cave that was really a Time trap. It transported him 150 years into the future.

Eventually, he was adopted by Walter, who was also a Timekeeper. While his training wasn't supposed to start until he was thirteen, problems at school made early training a necessity. Most often, though, he just wishes he could be a normal teenager without a secret second life dragging at his heels and getting people killed...

Full Name: Owain Teo Fforid
Age (Actual/Appearance): 197 / 45-55
General Physical Description: 6'2", 220lbs, or thereabouts. Often mistaken as a large, lumbering oaf, he is surprisingly agile with unusual, almost superhuman strength.
Birth: June 3, 1816, Llanberis, Wales
Background/Ethnicity: Tried and true Welshman

---

Position in Time: Captain Timekeeper

---

Bio: Walter was born Owain Fforid to Owain and Gwyneth Fforid, their firstborn child. From the very beginning he was a fighter, among other things, and he learned the workings of the justice system early on. His pa kicked him out of the house before he was thirteen, though he occasionally wandered back during brief periods of sobriety, most often after being released from jail.

When he was twenty-six, Owain, during one of his sober periods, met a British girl named Paige Balk. While her father resented him, he won her over and they were married in 1844. They moved back to London where life changed completely. Owain Fforid changed his name to Walter Forbes and became a sort of banking apprentice to his father-in-law.

But Walter's life of crime and drinking hadn't left him. The stress of his new life, new marriage, and, eventually, new baby, caused him to return to his old habits. When Paige's father found out, he had Walter stripped of everything he owned and cut all ties. By the time Walter had gotten out of jail, Paige had already remarried. Her new husband was little better, however, and succeeded in killing her and their daughter.

Walter murdered that man, as well as his former father-in-law and several associates. He was sentenced to hang in Beaumaris Gaol, but the Church intervened for a time. He escaped in 1847 and made his way to the United States in 1848. There he found his brother Teo as well as the Time trap cave.

He emerged in the year 1923 and was picked up by a Timekeeper named Mark who helped him adapt to modern life and continue his training, moving around the country as needed. In 2004, Walter returned to West Virginia, became Captain of District Four, and waited for Tommen, his nephew, to reappear, which he eventually did in 2005.
