The following are our current most wanted canons with multiple connected characters already in play.
Balan Storm
As a bastard son of the god-king, Balan Storm should have gotten everything he wanted. He took land and title, and the position of Lord Huntsman in his father's court- tracking down other siblings who try to hide- easily enough, but what he could never capture was the heart of obsession, Iseult Sabanok. She reciprocated the interest for a time, but instead fell in love with Malphas Storm, one of Balan's half-siblings. Seeking revenge, Balan became lover to Iseult's married sister, Lyona Valefar, fathering a child by her that he has only recently learned of, twenty-three years after the child's birth. He now finds himself promised to protect his son, Krispin, searching for ways he might prove useful in the constant struggle in the god-king's court...
Silas Storm
The King's Shield, another bastard son of the king and a servant woman. He clawed his way up to the top to head his father's personal guard.

She stands with her brother to protect her family against a court of wolves and snakes. It's complicated by a nephew's illegitimate lineage that could have that court knocking down the door...
