| Lord Guisa Vergath, Mayor of Bisgen |
Bisgen in 4949/4950 BCCC is administered by the Lord Guisa Vergath, in the name of King Namelin Bronze. Lord Guisa is a cousin to General Kogol of Renth, appointed on his advice by King Namelin, but is generally regarded as corrupt and not very efficient, though he is slowly rebuilding the town.
Umina Naich
Underworld activity in Bisgen is said to be largely controlled by Umina Naich, the Altani-blood 'Princess of Thieves', from the Harper's House brothel. Some say she controls Lord Guisa and is the true power in Bisgen. Raised to womanhood by a poor Nerathi family of Naich (fire beetle farmers); some say Umina is actually daughter to Parre, the old Baroness of Bisgen, who fell heroically defending her city against the Black Sun ghoul horde of Borritt Crowfinger in 4434 BCCC, and thus Umina is the rightful ruler of the city.
