Hi there all, I was hoping to have a 3-character warband ready for the event but only 2 are going to be done by then so coming up with profiles for these two.

68 48 53 56 59 82 58 65 70

- Enforcer:

Ws Bs S   T   I  Wp Sg Nv Ld
54 57 53 50 68 56 79 71 42

Left Handed

Without a backstory to explain what's going on with these characters, why they are the way they are, and how they are related, etc, it's difficult to make a good judgement call.

However - the main thing that jumps out at me is that it reads like the Enforcer has a really high Sg, while the Rogue Trader has a much lower one?
I'd suggest swapping their Sg scores, as it makes more sense for a Rogue Trader (given the shenanigans, cunning, education, and planning that such an individual would express) to have a high Sg than it does for an Enforcer (you can always give the Enforcer an Sg bonus in a skill in tests relating to their career knowledge, for example?).

Otherwise, in the absence of backstory for the characters, everything else looks reasonable.

Thanks! I was checking to see none of it sounded OP before I did the fluff.

Gwynevan Mamoreal Brycear Du'Cain III is the latest in an ancient line of Rogue Traders, though recently turning up in Imperial space on an old and battered ship he seems to have fallen on hard times. Never one for studying, Gwyn was raised on tales of Old Earth and subsequently grew into a man yearning to seek out adventure and the unknown. Fortunately for him, he was in a position to do just that, and travelled beyond imperial space for years as he served under his mother. It's not known what circumstances led to Gwyn coming into possession of his family's Warrant of Trade and Gwyn certainly doesn't speak of it, but he now finds himself the young leader of House Du'Cain and likely out of his depth. Nevertheless, Gwyn is never one to shy away from a challenge and has surrounded himself with a coterie of followers who can shore up his areas of weakness; he knows there are areas and skillsets he is lacking but what's the point of money and power if you have to do everything for yourself? Why Gwyn has chosen to return to (campaign location) specifically is not clear, but he seems to be seeking a member of the Inquisition and word is that he has the tome (Grimoire?) of and Inquisitor in his possession.

Rhianniya was a member of the Adeptus Arbites on a world on the edge of Imperium space. Exceptionally bright and diligent, she nevertheless refused all offers of promotion and never sought advancement, instead studying and honing her skills in a lowly enforcer. Gwynevan was trading on her home planet when he found himself in the middle of a sticky situation between a group of gangers, a corrupted factory owner and a large beast from the hive sewage system. Rhi was part of the squad that dealt with the situation, saving the rogue trader's life in the process. Gwyn saw Rhi's talent and proposed she join his crew. Although initially dismissive of the idea, after a few weeks of persuasion whilst Gwyn finished his business on the world, Rhi relented and left on his ship. Some believe that it was his purchase of a cybernetic eye to replace the one she lost in the action saving his life that was the clincher, but the reality is that a far darker secret led to her acquiescence, and it is because of this that Rhi has fought loyally to protect Gwyn over the past decade of service.
