====Nneka====
Nneka is one of the potential leaders of the Gutos clan, despite already nearing adulthood and still not bearing the island's mark that she would otherwise receive from her grandmother. This is because, being among the generation that followed the great civil war between her peoples, she doesn't believe in the old traditions and has thus refused to be given the mark. Tomboyish in appearance with short hair dyed orange by the crushed wings of caterflies, Nneka dresses mainly in rags from the deceased she finds scattered about the nearby ruins. She'll often shirk her daily duties to explore the ruins, tending to know more of what's beyond the island than what's on at home. <ref>Cook, Monte, et al. “The Steadfast.” Numenera Discovery, Monte Cook Games, LLP, 2018, pp. 167.

{{Quote|My work with the bees continues apace. Ever since I broke the code of their language dance, the queens seem willing to let me into their lives and work, and the others seem to respond well to the training regime I put them under.
We continue to work toward the future safety of the island, but the work is slow going sometimes. While the suit of armor has proved more difficult than expected - the bees accidentally sting me more often than i'd like - we have seen breakthroughs on training the drones to mimic my shape, creating a decoy. I am not sure of it's use yet. Although the children delight in seeing two of me, I hope it to have greater implications for the protection of both myself and the island
The Guton inquire as to why I feel the need to protect myself, but I do not have the language to tell them that I sense something wicked and wanting in my dreams. It taints even the taste of honey upon the tongue, and turns my thoughts of sweetness to those of stinging fear.|Journal entry from Mabon Macabee}}
An immigrant to the island who worked at one of the early factories of a settlement then referred to as "Guttentown". While others either dies or quickly left to avoid the chaos that would ensue, Mabon refused to leave, part of the reason being that the weather on the island seemed to soothe the aches in her joints. However, the main reason she insisted on staying was her discovery of a fairly large and surprisingly intelligent bee population, one that was nearly rendered extinct by rapid industrialization. Since then, she's become an avid student of their hives, advocating for their survival, and even building a home for herself out of materials scavenged from the honeycombs of their denser populations. It's quite normal sight to see her surround by the insects, so much so that they can cover body like some kind of armor, and even take on the shapes of the local fauna, much to the amusement of children. Despite the Guton clan's fear of bees, Mabon still seems to be on good terms with them and has even aided in the restoration of the island to its original state. Even though she's now been on the island for quite some time, her foreign origins have still made even the children brandish her with the nickname "From Far". Luckily, she far from minds it and will gladly introduce herself sometimes as "Fromfar Mabon".<ref>Cook, Monte, et al. “The Steadfast.” Numenera Discovery, Monte Cook Games, LLP, 2018, pp. 168.
