I'm going to be running a game for five or so players this Christmas. The concept is that an evil Wizard has enslaved Santa and forced his Elves to make cursed magic items, and used Santa's various present-delivering powers to steal all magic items and replace them with cursed versions.

The players will be trying to free Santa and his elves... And pillage the store of every magic item on the planet, of course!

I want concepts for level five characters. Concept and sheet if you would like, or just concept ideas! Feel free to make them as silly or serious as you desire.

Also, if anyone has ideas for a Magus specifically, one has been requested! Everything first party is allowed. Preferably only Core/Uncommon/Featured races from the Race Guide.

hmm.

Who would want to save christmas? (note you may need to waive some of the prereqs for these to work)

Macaulay McAlsister: Halfling Rogue/Trapsmith. Once having protected his village from a band of water (or was it tar? sticky, wet... so many bandits...) elemental bandits from beyond his plane, Macaulay has become adept at ensuring that never-do-wells face the wrath of his booby traps (from Trapsmith in Dungeonscape)
(Kevin Mcallister from Home Alone)

Granchpus: Elderly Tiefling Paladin of Slaughter. A chaotic evil figure with a rowan staff with which to hurt and maim the innocent, Grampus is here to actually take over the Christmas operation from Santa Claus and make it align with its goals. Deep down though, he has a gut feeling that his heart's not into the evil thing so much, and something within him... well, some say that his heart is just about ready to grow 3 sizes one day, if he just has the right push.
(The Grinch fused with the Krampus... With the extra Fun! that if his heart does grow and he does a good deed out of love or whatever, he actually loses most of his paladin features, so he has to decide whether he prefers evil or doing stuff)

Giglashuakenhamun: Aasimar Cleric/Risen Martyr (from Book of Exalted Deeds) of Pelor. A former holy man who died long ago in service to his faith, he has been sent back to the mortal plane for one last task- to save Christmas!
(Basically Jesus but name mixed with other religious figures)

Ebongeezer Scrooge: Noble (from Dragonlance Campaign Setting. It hasn't the best class features but it's the best i can find to represent Scrooge. Maybe a few levels of something useful will be handy here, lol) A nobleman, wealthy, and owed a lot of favours, Ebongeezer is the face of the group, and he was brought here by three wraiths to save Christmas.
(He is mister humbug, he is mister grim, if there was a prize for being mean, the winner would be him!)

Greg Bailey: Wizard (but with arcane disciple- time domain). A magiaccountant who was introduced to time magic by a celestial being who showed him the timeline in which he did not exist, Mr Bailey knows that the only way to ensure that life will continue to be a wonderful one is if he breaks time with magic. Manipulating probability to ensure that attacks hit, making people faster... There are over twenty billion ways that this fight against the evil wizard can go, and there's only one timeline in which they succeed.
(It's a Wonderful Life!)

Fimbul: Elf Barbarian. One of the former workers of Santa's workshop, Fimbul carries a massive warhammer, once the toy of a giant child, but in the elf's hands, is a mighty weapon of great power.
(Christmas elf. You've heard of elf on a shelf, now get ready for elf with a lot of big dice in health!)
