Rockim grew up on the mean streets of Dwillingir, in the Shambles. Abandoned by his harlot mother to the streets at he age of 4, Rockim survived by means of his wits, occasional charm, and strength. Eventually, he came to lead a gang of other orphans, and they became known as the Woolly Boys in honour of their proclivity to steal sheep from the marketplace and nearby farms. Humourous rumours contend that the Woolly Boys bugger the sheep, but actually they are used for mutton and the wool to make warm clothing to wear or sell.

Rockim was fairly high on the Shambles food chain until he had several run-ins with House Riverine, especially Lord Marco. Since then, his reputation as a whole has diminished, due to several public humiliations by Marco, and this has caused him and the Woolly Boys to have to rely on Riverine for protection and support. Eventually, this reliance became a full alliance, and with Riverine's ascendancy, so too has the Woolly Boys' power risen.

Rockim is in his early 20's, with an unkempt appearance but a very sharp twinkle in his eye that says that he is no fool, even when playing one. He keeps his boys in line with a canny mixture of bribes and threats.

The Woolly Boys are, for the most part, orphans gathered by Rockim. They are between 14 and 19 years of age and follow Rockim unquestioningly, as those who crossed him are now floating in the Chulette River or have the scars smashed noses to show the error of their ways. That said, these thugs delight in oppressing the weak but are cowed by strength, and none will throw away his life for Rockim or the gang.
