Beatrice and Steve......
I don’t know about anyone else, but I tend to forget that Beatrice and Aristophanes (that is Steve’s full name right?) became a couple in between Dragons of Winter and The First Dragon. Do you think they learned sign language together? I bet they did. I’m trying to remember....how did Beatrice help again? I know she’s a Messanger, and she can’t touch or even speak to anyone. Did she help John and Verne get to the Hotel D’Aulliers? Back on topic, I imagine Beatrice and Steve make a lovely couple....not as cute as Laura Glue and Emund obviously, but still cute. But what would the name for the ship be? Flowers and Horns? Poisoned Comedy( Steve is the Aristophanes right?). Beauty and the Steve. Poisoned Passion? It’s aliterative, but it sounds dumb. Like a cheesy Romance Novel...then again... Wait. I’ve got it. The Ship name for Beatrice Rappicini and Aristophanes the Zen Detective. PoiZen. It’s brilliant and dumb at the same time! Make of this what you will. Al, the Chronographing Cottager

Messrs. Mancy, Rappicini and Prince's Fortunes, Pharmaceuticals and more...
Messrs. Mancy, Rappicini and Prince is a Shop located somewhere or other and founded somewhere else or other (most likely either Padua, Verona, or Venice) at some time or other (post 1700s at least).
Said shop began in dealing with two things. Serving as an Apothecary...herbs, medicines, legitimate magical potions....very occasionally poisons.
Still around to the current day and still owned and operated by a Mr. Mancy, a Dr. Rappiccini, and a Mr./Dr. Prince.
In the current day and age Messrs. Mancy, Rappiccini and Prince have expanded their goods. Besides medicinals and Fortunes, They also sell Astronomy related goods (books, equipment and so on) and also a lot of Games. In fact it's primarily known as a Game sho. Board games, Cards, RPG (they have a bunch of Dice for sale) you name it. Even offers space for a couple DND groups to play at.
Current employees:
Mr. Astrophel O(Ophiuchus). Mancy (really one Alan V. Eldritch): An eccentric man most recognizable by his bizarre themed attire (can go into detail if asked) in particular his Eye Patch with a Circled Dot, a Fez barring the Monad Hieroglyphica (a Alchemical Symbol made by Dr. John Dee), his wizard looking beard...and his Stary Cape. Is the game obsessed one and made the move to expanding into selling Games and things. Is fascinated by DnD and has played a couple of times with some customers but is more often than not found to be lounging somewhere playing on the Guitar, or the stores Fotoplayer. The shop doubles as his home with house stuff in an above story Or something. Will tell fortunes for you in just about anyway with the sole exception of Living Sacrifice, or Tarot Readings. Appreciates the Art of the later but 'doesn't hold with it'.
Mr. Herbert Basilio Rappiccini: An Italian (likely from Padua or Verona) Apothecary .Assists in growing the Herbs and Plants the shop uses. In truth has been with the shop since the beginning. A student at the Fledgling Dreadrock and accompanied Alan/Astrophel Upon leaving. His daughter Beatrice also works at the shop....
Mr. S(Stolas) Prince: An often unseen gentleman who is said to be the one who appraises Gemstones. In truth, Mr. Prince is the Demon Prince Stolas who has had an agreeable contract/partnership with Alan for centuries. Often takes the form of an Owl with a Crown (serving as a sort of Shop mascot) and is almost always in the company of Mr. Mancy. When Human looks old, has an Owlish look about him thanks to some glasses. His Dynamic with Alan/Astrophel is like that of Merlin/Merlyn and Archimedes in the Sword in the Stone
Mahsa Attar: Iranian woman. Muslim, Graduated with full honors from Dreadrock University. Was invited to join the Fellowship of Eldritchicians by Overseer Sinbad Al-Amin but respectfully declined. Is not centuries old as the above founders and has been with shop for over 10 years. Probably in her mid 40s? Knows several languages, mostly involved in the Astronomy side of the Business. Has an excellent understanding of Spirits and Jinn. Has her own place of residence besides the shop.
Currently unnamed other Herbalist: A retired Eldritchician...still figuring out her background....
Phineas Phontinos: Completely regular guy in his 50s that just really loves Stars. Is completely blind to any and all Supernatural goings ons in the Shop. Could see Stolas change from an Owl to a Mind and only notice that Mr. Prince is now in the room, must have walked down stairs. Usually runs the register.
Cassandra Sibyl Read: A young Half Demon (I think the word is Cambion) who was told to seek out Messrs Mancy, Rappiccini and Prince when her parents faced some terrible trouble. Found her way there. Is now basically adopted by Astrophel. Helps with most aspects in particular the Games section and the Fortune Telling. Has some legitimate Precognitive abilities. Has learned most methods of divination, but really enjoys Tarot cards. Ends up deciding to join the FoE rather than attending Dreadrock. More on her later. Ask away? Stupid charac

Potential Messengers?
So, I’ve gone on about the Caretakers, The Mystorians, and others, but there’s two groups I haven’t mentioned much. One is that mysterious and vague Quorum thing that Coal joined (which I’m guessing includes other characters who have ascended beyond Stars and Angels...like say Galahad). More importantly, there’s the Mesengers. Basically field agents working for the Caretakers who have an intimate understanding of Time and Space, and how to Traverse it. Known Mesengers include Hank Morgan (from Twain’s Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court) Alvin Ransom (aka Elwin Ransom from C.S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy) Beatrice Rappicini (from Rappicini’s Daughter by Nathaniel Hawthorne) what adventures do you think they got up to? Arthur Gordon Pym (from Poe’s the Narative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket. No relation to Hank Pym as far as I know?). Possibly the End of Time, aka Theo? ( Is he a reference or allusion to anything in particular? I honestly don’t know). Dr. Raven ( Prince Coal, though I’m pretty Sure ‘Dr Raven’ is a reference to something I can’t put my finger on). So...who are other individuals who may be potential Mesengers? Those who are either experienced with Travel, whether Temporal, Spatial, Outer Spatial, or Inter Dimensional. I’m sure there are many possible canidates. I can think of perhaps three off the top of my Head. Hans Pfall from the unparalleled adventure of Hans Pfall by Poe. Basically any Verne protagonist ( I’m surprised there isn’t a Splinter Group made solely of Protagonists from Verne’s books), most notably Phileous Fogg. And, possibly, Ariel from the Tempest. I’m sure there’s plenty others that would be far more suitable than those three. Have at it Friends and make of it what you will. Also, feel free to point out if they’re a Fiction or not. We know Fictions are included among the Mesengers thanks to the tearful and unfortunate demise of the Late Hank Morgan.
