You don't really need stat blocks for NPCs any more. You can use them for inspiration on how to describe a contest, but with the new relativism of HQ2, you don't need to know if someone has a "Sword and Spear 12w". You can use the ability values to determine if the character should normally be considered a "Hard", "Moderate", etc. opponent in contests (if you're not using the pass/fail cycle).
Convert "Affinities" to "Rune Affinities", and use the old lists of "feats" as an indication of what the rune affinity can be used for. Ditto Spirits and Grimoires. As you explore the mythic side of the game, you can add HQ2 style feats to the "cult" descriptions (such as they aren't *really* cults in the HQ1 sense in the first place...).
The various occupation and homeland keywords can usually be used as-is (whether you're a "lister" or a "non-lister"). While they aren't in pure text form, the information presented can provide a good idea of what the stereotype is.
Background, personality and plot information is still valid and can be used unchanged, of course.
