Mason and Gavin Lightfellow : Rogue Town Guards

Laurel and Hardy by Kennon9
Mason and Gavin Lightfellow are two members of the town guard and have been for a handful of years.  One could say that they've remained low ranked because they don't exactly do their job as ambassadors of the town law. Instead, these two guards prefer to bargain with people they catch. Providing those they capture with task in exchange for freedom. The tasks they propose can range from goofy to completely illegal (this usually depends on the severity of the crime they catch you doing)

But before I get to much into this, lets first describe them.

Mason is the elder, he is roughly in his late twenties and seems to be of a nervous personality. He is tall and skinny, and fumbles his words at times. When he speaks he normally touches his face with his hands and looks around often with shifty eyes to make sure the coast is clear.

Gavin is the younger brother by what seems to be about 5 years, maybe something closer to 10 even. Gavin is relatively new to the town guard, and upon his joining he was quickly able to bully his brother into his schemes.Gavin is a little more portly and has evident scars scattered through his body. He is loud and direct and spits after saying hello or greeting someone almost 100% of the time.

The two brothers at first glance seem to be polar opposites, but deep down they are twisted and corrupt men who will abuse their privileges at every possible occasion. One could even go so far as to call them sadistic, but then again that could be a little much. You can however easily turn them into humorous or dark characters by varying the "tasks" they give.

The two men once lived in the richer district of town, being the sons of the royal blacksmith they grew up without knowing the hardships of life. They were accepted into the town guard as a favor to their father and take little pride in their relatively sought after career.

Now regarding the "deals" they make, here is a list of a few possible requests they can send your PCs way:

1-
Gavin : So there's this guy, he stole my seat at the bar last night. D'you remember him Mason?
Mason: yeah... yeah I do, the one with the pocket watch?
Gavin: A real nice pocket watch. I think I'd like a pocket watch like that. Why don't you go and fetch it for me scum.
Mason: You her her her, were you listening! Go and get it

2-
G: So my brother here fancies miss (insertnamehere) but her father seems against the whole idea. I need you to help convince Mr (insertnamehere) that Mason is a standup guy.
M: *blushes*

3-
M: There's a large celebration going on tomorrow night at the docks, for the Elisabeth. 
G: That big fancy ship! Ha! Wouldn't it be funny if the ship didn't even make it out of the port? 

4-
G: My feet sure are sore from walking all day. 
M: I agree. A massage would be na, na, na, would be ideal. 
G: Why not have one right now! *takes off his boots and wiggles his stumpy toes.*
