Height: 177425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4oKBgVcig
Hair colour: Black425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqMSw4dZhT
Eye colour: Yellow425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT1kPEcQmH
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdp3b85DKh
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5kz8reHMY
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKVKz3KxjE
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAH0UX6AEP
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP6OsI7q8J
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaHCKsCZh7
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGykbVQaHx
importance lies elsewhere.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgZtMcPKzc
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGIw07cNCx
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkZ7zqriZT
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyXN1nImeh
scholars.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vPuu7R1KN
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQriI6rWCkn
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMWvjS2XLu
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLL7AkSAxZ
Hair colour: White425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlK50GZAfg
Eye colour: Pale Blue425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHaYV1md7T
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOB9XnXMK4
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74ciFdhupX
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pDNcVYuWy
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB0x9Fl3gm
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4XAeM2XIs
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMuorJSDTI
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡow2hVlZuxF
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzcE1H9nof
Hervies simply could not pass on it.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zKPYsTuOb
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiyy9LbdUs
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTrI6208jj
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSEORClOuV
are not his only strength.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqhMZhijGU
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxhytk00cq
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYJ8JzufXJ
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhv54LHLUf
ever hope to have around.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgOb3LZYgH
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYf0flfdvP
have been someone important prior to joining?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudxl6lBxwH
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7BR9CtUvj
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5VvlGsk9n
Hair colour: Red and Blue425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAt2uH3Xgj
Eye colour: Pale Blue425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcJFsxHAb2
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRSmwg8IcI
those she serves with.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDoR0OlvLR
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcjKtGpXrP
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfnE7RfdaB
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2p60NZM4Y
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dYAmYWWNX
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xXAHboPSf
still surrounds her.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WXqVniYTU
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F9YgDyNn1
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp325kurGP
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPj3P27AW1
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQECDjqJoPJ
to name it...425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6KscPlr8B
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErLjEXPeOu
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvy0w5W8iF
them until they were heard from no more.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZucSIujH3
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TgsmEpPmn
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcnNIEtC1n
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqE5fveejn
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLH3XlnliK
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qKDalFqBL
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoIldxTeE8
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrTucxQaSW
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWW8BHwrmR
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH8qprEcIr
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzZSnAM4Ku
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSncUCY0dI
Hair colour: Pitch Black425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK4dVQj3w4
Eye colour: Green425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rktLgnu5p
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ288qDkhwgG
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikjnibpL6h
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvD5Ic5mLb
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnotN5A9akh
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KP5QOe0oh
and rundown houses.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspp9CxmUXN
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjkoUFWiPS
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K3N1i1ddv
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDgZOV1hcz
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2hWgI61gM
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LBKIIBl3d
Impossible, and yet it was true.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZkqFigNc5
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NLG3bAJNJ
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJvIeSSAt5
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKbbbrxZhN
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDRohOW1SA
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZASNdE4HX
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VKKf8gYQG
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroQEygYNzB
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCODuhy5hx8
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfq63XrooW
or something else of an uncanny nature.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nOJFUe7Wo
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv3ZBG0yw7
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB5wf3EUEa
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iZtGF7eVM
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA3EvPeqDf
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklFKVsN27Q
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUlaWJNG3N
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Wy8DwwJ0
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tvdmvafMc
being produced since the last war.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphBCNQTpNI
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYj9CUVaUu
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JQM046EZM
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yftLaoCbq
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnJpgTooqN
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsb71i0N0J
Hair colour: Golden425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sDutIvBDW
Eye colour: Blue425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwJlQQn6VO
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORmPknit8i
through.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFSkdN7H8j
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9VuUHecTt
stained with flowered scars.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcvKVXngrS
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP3Jq8gUDT
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjHvQZMnZR
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcca0gkeDV
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmea767oty
as they get passed across mouth and land.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fhzK3FOim
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZmvvmv5Dq
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3MLUwsJQW
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwROXJeYGjz
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4gfxaoMx6
soldier’s orders.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lntwNtZ7d
And that is but the latest.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLQNVur0OF
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BDtw81ATi
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8saBnJ9HG2
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuKAgKNBU9
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51QS6ZpYET
to follow.425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLYdcG8ZrO
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9YmOQdIeH
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a8UUXkPos
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
