Captain Rolf Steadman

Captain of a company that specialises in the restless dead, plague grounds and haunted ruins. His company is hired when the Brethren cannot come or the client cannot afford them.

Steadman was a soldier in a road garrison whose men died to a thing on a plague ground. He swore he would learn how to fight such things, and raised the Ash Cross to do it.

The company has cleared churchyards, crypts and plague grounds across London and the south. It does not suppress; it fights, and calls the Brethren when fighting is not enough.

In 4621 the company is clearing a plague ground for a ward. Steadman has agreed with his warpriest to call the Brethren too, and is negotiating who pays.
