A guide to your new companions: Lucky, Plof, and Amber

Lucky’s Bio: Lucky is a cat of great power, though you wouldn’t know it by how often she is found napping. It is rumoured that Lucky was once the familiar of a renowned witch, and over time absorbed so much magic that she became more Domain than animal. Regardless, Lucky is both powerful and fickle, only doing what she wants, when she wants.

‍

Plof’s Bio: Plof was once highly regarded by both his kind and Imperial scholars for his deep understanding of history and the world. In exchange for sharing his knowledge with the Guardians, he demands a new hat each day, often sending the Commander scurrying around Haven—and occasionally "borrowing" hats from other Guardians, though they’re always returned.

‍

Ambers Bio: Amber is a flying fox that hails from Hearthfire. Before Brimstone fell to the Dread, Amber was often found helping or hindering the Draka while they worked their mighty Forges. One day, he would assist them by scouting for gems and rare materials, but the next he would hide their tools and play tricks on them. Since joining the Guardians the same patterns have emerged, but the Commander takes them in good stride.
