Morgan Kinkade's group is a collection of Morgan Kinkade's friends and allies who had adventured together on occasion during the 2100s and 2200s. Out of the fourteen people associated with it, only five remain alive to this day, including Kinkade himself.

The original group, unofficially formed in 2146, consisted of Morgan Kinkade (2076 to Present), Levina Annare (1941 to 2326), Janine Attinn (2129 to Present) and Madeline Abbot (2121 to 2230, born Madeline Quinn). The first to join the group was Rutherford Hardwick (2113 to 2207), a professor at a United Provinces university who they encountered in 2158. He was followed by Nance Piers (2058 to 2197) in 2164, Peter Delium (1827 to 2307) in 2173, and Fleur Dunkar (2163 to 2238) in 2189, bringing their numbers to eight, although Rutherford had retired from active adventuring by this time.

The group suffered its first loss in 2197, as Nance died during mercenary work in the Arenan Civil War, and another in 2207 when Rutherford passed on from natural causes. Things picked up with new arrivals soon after, with the joining of Lillian Mass (2182 to 2264) in 2208, and Colli (Unknown to Present) during a fight with a large Demon in Jostingaard in 2221. The group also participated in the Black Rock Tournament of 2227, where they were joined by Clint Callahan (2193 to 2290). Unfortunately, more losses were not far off, as Madeline passed on in 2230 from natural causes to join her husband Derek, and Fleur died in battle in 2238.

In 2242, James Hannigan (2218 to Present) joined their numbers after being rescued by Morgan Kinkade, during an incident that made James into an Archon. They were also joined in 2253 by an archaeologist named Ronald Cistrane (2226 to 2297), and in 2258 by an Infernal One who called himself Harold Minns (Unknown to Present), who they found hidden away in the Banivian wastes. There were ten members of the group by the 2260s, nine if discounting Lillian, who had long since retired, and passed on from natural causes in 2264.

The group's activity slowly declined from this point on, as many of its remaining members began to retire from age. By the 2280s, only Janine, Peter, Colli, James, and Harold remained particularly active, but even Janine was starting to settle down, and James had taken to caring for the aged Morgan. They lost Clint to natural causes in 2290, and Ronald to the same in 2297. In 2307, Peter was captured and forcibly cured of Vampirism, and soon succumbed to torture.

By 2326, Janine had uncovered some disturbing information about the second soul that had been forced into James' head 80 years prior, and attempted to poison him at Morgan's 250th birthday by leaving some biscuits laced with Atropine behind, knowing he wouldn't serve them to Morgan, and that they'd go unnoticed by the guests. Unfortunately, Levina found them and consumed one, her frail body quickly falling to the poison. A number of other guests that the now-senile Morgan had invited (who he believed to be his fallen comrades) solved the mystery behind Levina's death, and Janine was taken away by the local authorities.
