Garibaldo
Garibaldo is a tall, burly, blond-haired man, head of the Guild of Sellswords in Orchester. Anyone who wants to be hired as a caravan guard in Orchester must join his guild, and visiting gaurds must pay a nominal dues payment (1sp per visit). He is a penny-pincher, but generally good company. He has an abiding hatred of Lucius Bastardo and will sometimes arrange a discount for finding mercenaries if the expedition is aimed at doing harm to Bastardo.
(In game terms, Garibaldo is a 7th level fighter; the discount is half price on the “searching for hirelings” fee).
