Blackie Staxx: D&D dungeon master-turned-stevedore-turned guitarist, Blackmond Temperance VanHausenstachs III is a 20-year veteran of the dive bar circuit. With a past as mysterious as it is greasy, Blackie's mercenary-like attitude can best be summed up by the following quote: "I'll do almost anything for a beer and gas money." Blackie's sleaze is only matched by his guitar prowess. When he's not slinging axes or legally ambivalent pharmaceuticals, he can be found working the swing shift at the local 7-11.
