So my players are running through Varnhold Vanishing right now, and I am reading ahead to get ready for Blood for Blood. My PC's already thought up scouting the territories to each side of them to learn about their rivals, but left it up to npc rangers and rogues to do the foot work.
But in preping for BFB, I read that Drelev had his 5 senior officers give up their daughters for hostage, and that only one, Lord Knight Terrion Numesti, refused. He was thrown in the dungeon, his daughter Tamary was given hostage anyway, and the other 4 Senior Officers aquiesed. So the big question is, who are the other 4? Are they Lord Knights? Is Aemon Trask (Captain of the Guard) one of them (for now I am making him one of them)?
It would seem that 4 potential allies to the PC's would be important enough to atleast give names to them and locations in the Fort or town. Since Ivoretti placed his mercenary guards in strategic places all around Fort Drelev, where the 4 senior officers replaced? Their daughters being held hostage was to secure their obedience, so if the PC's could promise them return of their daughters, and former posts, they would be important allies in taken Drelev and freeing Numestri, so where did they go and who are they?
I guess I'm stuck making them up myself.

I would figure Trask is one of them. I don't believe the others are specifically named, so you could probably go through the AP, look for named important NPCs in Drelev (with the caveat that Imeckus Stroon for obvious reasons should be ignored for this) and name them off as the other officers.

I did that. A female tavern keep and a blacksmith are also named, so for now I am making them part of the 'senior officers', but that still left me 1 short (If I included Trask, which I did). So I made him up. Its still confusing not to at least have the other 4 Senior officers named though, when they did that for the Stag Lord and Varnhold.
