Jilina (no family name) worked as a guild prostitute before joining the Castiglioni household as a housemaid.  She is tall, elegant and graceful.  She reveals little about her past.  Instead of a family name, she would have taken the name of her guild, which is standard practice for members of any Varathusian or Carpathian trade or services guilds.  She is awkward around young children, since she has no experience of how to treat them.  Due to her training, she can be cold and aloof.  She also has hidden compassionate depths which are only revealed to those few people she trusts.

    Lord Furio Castiglioni is the third child of Lord Adriano and Lady Vera Castiglioni.  Like his siblings, he has lived a life of privilege and over-indulgence.  He was always spiteful and self-centred.  He paid more attention to his studies than his siblings.  As an adolescent, he began indulging in hedonistic pleasures, such as gambling, going to nightclubs and visiting prostitutes.  He continues those pleasures as an adult.
