The Free League isn't actually a faction, at least not according to them (though for what it's worth, everyone else considers them one). They believe that no one has The Answer to the multiverse. Maybe the Guvners are right. Maybe the Signers are. Who knows? The Indeps say that there's no point in betting on any one philosophy, because there's no way to be sure if you're right or not. It's better to just keep your options open.
In fact, many in the Free League believe that there is no ultimate path to The Answer. They believe not just that they don't' know what it is, but that it's different for everyone. What works for one person doesn't work for another, so there's no point in trying to press your beliefs on someone else.
Still, in Sigil a person has to belong to something, so the Free League exists as an informal association of free-thinkers. They help each other out, pass news around, and generally stick together to make sure they don't get tread on by the other factions. Still, they don't have a seat on the Hall of Speakers, Sigil's governing body, so they don't quite have the same protection as the other factions, though most Indeps will tell you that the lack of a hierarchy and leaders make up for this tenfold.
The Free League has no formal headquarters, but they do tend to collect in certain areas. In Sigil, they gather in the Grand Bazaar and in the Outer Planes, they gather in the Outlands, the plane of neutrality, and a stepping-off point to the rest of the multiverse.

The Free League doesn't have a factol, and in fact doesn't have leaders at all - they're much too independent to work within a structured chain of command. Bria Tomay is the most respected and influential of all the leaders they don't have.
Bria comes from a long line of silversmiths. Her family has worked at the family smithy, the Warbling Blades, for as long as anyone can remember, and though Tomay has picked up a bit of it, she's mostly leaving the legacy of smithing to her much younger brother. Her father's smithing was famous enough in the Cage that any time adventurers needed silver weapons, they inevitably ended up at the Warbling Blades. There, she heard tale after tale of adventure, and it captivated her imagination. Her mother had taught her to play the zither at an early age, so she started composing songs about the stories she heard, and they were pretty good. Over the years, she's worked at perfecting her songs, and become one of the more respected bards in Sigil.
A human in her mid-thirties, Bria doesn't look like much at first glance, but when she sings, a spark of brilliance shines through, and she seems for a while truely beautiful. But much to her disappointment, she's had less and less time to do so lately. She seems to spend a lot of time these days roaming the Grand Bazaar and Sigil in general, checking up on faction members, and smoothing out any problems other Indeps may be having. She's become so well respected that she's got a loyal following of Indeps that she could mobilize at any time, should she need to. (Her Leadership score is 19, and so can mobilize 40 first level characters, four second level characters, two third level characters, one fourth level characters, and one fifth level characters. The first level characters are half experts, one quarter commoners, and one quarter warriors. Higher level characters will either be experts or warriors).
Her two closest friends (her cohorts) are Lethea and Lesander, twin wemics that are virtually identical, save in gender. Lethea is female and Lesander male. They had a hard youth and grew up ranging throughout the Gand Bazaar. It was Tomay that befriended them and convinced them to join the faction. Lethea and Lesander share a telepathic bond, which allows them to communicate with each other at a distance of up to one mile, though they never get that far apart. Indeed, they never leave each other's side.
Tactics: At the start of each day, Bria casts a Cat's Grace and Eagle's Splendor on herself. Tomay isn't much of a fighter, but if she should be attacked, she'll start off with a Haste and then try to take a few opponents out of the fight with spells like Otto's Irresistible Dance, or Dominate Person. Once she's out of spells, she'll fight them wither her Quarterstaff (note: Bria uses a variant rule that Rangers may use their virtual feats for simple, but not exotic, double weapons. If the DM does not wish to use this rule, give Bria a buckler +2 and a chaotic rapier +2 instead).
Should Lethea and Lesander be present, they will defend their friend to the death (and Tomay will do the same for them).
