Lieutenant John Trimmack - Human/Fighter 6'3" 198lbs was one of the two sergeants who trained the Double Fist before they became Nikolai's Fist.

Factions
Wolf Company is the home Company of Nikolai's Fist (officially Wolf Company, First Agents). Primarily a cavalry unit, Wolf Company is active in their home region of Fargunia. Relations within the Regiment are good and Nikolai's Fist is something akin to a celebrity, thanks to their constant success in difficult missions.
Diplomacy: Helpful
Hornfowl is a city located in central Fargunia and an increasingly common assignment for the Mailed Fist. Nikolai's Fist in particular is held in great respect here, as they blunted a Gnoll invasion some several hundred strong by not only getting the towns defenses in order, but stopping a team of Gnoll sappers as they tried to collapse the rear of the town.
Diplomacy: Friendly
Jubjub's Tribes are a loose tribal network of Vegepygmies that inhabit the Southern reaches of the Cursed Swamp.

Diplomacy: Friendly

Nikolai's Fist has run afoul of his tribes twice, once in the defense of Hornfowl and once more when scouting the newly discovered enemies in their stronghold in the southern area of the Cursed Swamp. Several hundred Gnolls are known to patrol the southern swamp at a given time, while some thousands occupy the northern Cursed Swamp, near the Necromancer's Tower.
Diplomacy: Hostile
