Height: 177425Please respect copyright.PENANAgYyhNArkqZ
Hair colour: Black425Please respect copyright.PENANAwNQco229pH
Eye colour: Yellow425Please respect copyright.PENANAs7nhswQZRG
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to425Please respect copyright.PENANAG0JsVx5fCp
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to425Please respect copyright.PENANAFtJItcEHdr
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the425Please respect copyright.PENANA5QeSTZZFSw
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.425Please respect copyright.PENANApyzyULe1nQ
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth425Please respect copyright.PENANASCKYmt63jl
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat425Please respect copyright.PENANAj1yVREBbMU
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main425Please respect copyright.PENANAfZFoAbv1MU
importance lies elsewhere.425Please respect copyright.PENANAse8x9Vpw14
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she425Please respect copyright.PENANAlCCFoODrlK
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability425Please respect copyright.PENANAiHPtJvVI0i
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed425Please respect copyright.PENANAeeZ2ryQjJy
scholars.425Please respect copyright.PENANAUEcytgvnyB
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much425Please respect copyright.PENANAXe4tg9v6uM
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of425Please respect copyright.PENANAtH6vTMIZpD
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184425Please respect copyright.PENANAnRAmcb1pnf
Hair colour: White425Please respect copyright.PENANAgbebSil8WC
Eye colour: Pale Blue425Please respect copyright.PENANAtlXstE6YI1
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face425Please respect copyright.PENANAfGvidWlBW9
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered425Please respect copyright.PENANAItUnCJpMpO
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.425Please respect copyright.PENANAyFwnqTYCv7
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.425Please respect copyright.PENANAaSGQpVJ9S1
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to425Please respect copyright.PENANAvHjrgVUFJ7
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.425Please respect copyright.PENANAvbnky1yvvZ
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually425Please respect copyright.PENANAOAoqIqEVAM
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that425Please respect copyright.PENANASau2ko3EuJ
Hervies simply could not pass on it.425Please respect copyright.PENANARg2pYtVRYj
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of425Please respect copyright.PENANAkjDvYxBipZ
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails425Please respect copyright.PENANAxUhYJ9tRpi
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman425Please respect copyright.PENANAyLrXYSSDRb
are not his only strength.425Please respect copyright.PENANAc8QwTwBBCE
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of425Please respect copyright.PENANAU2uDPjUmKF
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making425Please respect copyright.PENANA08lQvUWv1d
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could425Please respect copyright.PENANA2AQzcvCZBH
ever hope to have around.425Please respect copyright.PENANAWsHMrxQvma
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he425Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2L0OMyOvT
have been someone important prior to joining?425Please respect copyright.PENANATyJvU5t73R
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?425Please respect copyright.PENANAIvgYK0LKSR
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182425Please respect copyright.PENANA128EKZr3Ju
Hair colour: Red and Blue425Please respect copyright.PENANA8cC8hXcMBI
Eye colour: Pale Blue425Please respect copyright.PENANAB1SdWVMuSE
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to425Please respect copyright.PENANANNoIjqFCBF
those she serves with.425Please respect copyright.PENANA3b0JJZgJgG
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce425Please respect copyright.PENANAjIX03zY1ra
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.425Please respect copyright.PENANAu2Mv83CIjR
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of425Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ97MVhOhb
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.425Please respect copyright.PENANArbZ53Rd9tx
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery425Please respect copyright.PENANAZ74s9u1QTb
still surrounds her.425Please respect copyright.PENANALSg9kN2SRW
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of425Please respect copyright.PENANASxVwLBOpoC
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,425Please respect copyright.PENANAaq64Rw8xAz
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it425Please respect copyright.PENANAFJERsbFgrl
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed425Please respect copyright.PENANAHSgfyJVFJD
to name it...425Please respect copyright.PENANAgTBH2pSbhs
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen425Please respect copyright.PENANAxpSJHHb2eU
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning425Please respect copyright.PENANAiQNgYThvcJ
them until they were heard from no more.425Please respect copyright.PENANALvFjFiLTSd
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable425Please respect copyright.PENANApFCDYjT6LJ
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon425Please respect copyright.PENANADG6TpPPDsY
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.425Please respect copyright.PENANAtjIxARwoK1
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that425Please respect copyright.PENANA14yCVMCDRE
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.425Please respect copyright.PENANAy4jzhbIBa2
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into425Please respect copyright.PENANANYIjC6Kufx
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more425Please respect copyright.PENANA4vWflYOYM9
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely425Please respect copyright.PENANAHW9CDXTVcl
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.425Please respect copyright.PENANAoWpGTtphNk
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is425Please respect copyright.PENANAipNu7geJ4q
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182425Please respect copyright.PENANAdvfyoROXFZ
Hair colour: Pitch Black425Please respect copyright.PENANAWO2KCsHX5S
Eye colour: Green425Please respect copyright.PENANA3FuQJysf3M
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by425Please respect copyright.PENANASGd8g2QrNt
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the425Please respect copyright.PENANAO84jh8qSQg
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got425Please respect copyright.PENANArH7YCCE5Ig
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.425Please respect copyright.PENANARo7kXOCCyD
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets425Please respect copyright.PENANAaaab5TwhZG
and rundown houses.425Please respect copyright.PENANA2vbJD8NIIh
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with425Please respect copyright.PENANAgrHcFKbe1p
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...425Please respect copyright.PENANANGzd7xbzPy
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?425Please respect copyright.PENANAR3zdY4ZHnO
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one425Please respect copyright.PENANA0fCqkhlSrP
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?425Please respect copyright.PENANA19H2eiaPEk
Impossible, and yet it was true.425Please respect copyright.PENANACJeVmhfdVH
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,425Please respect copyright.PENANA0r6Ok36KAp
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor425Please respect copyright.PENANA85eEp2KWKl
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for425Please respect copyright.PENANAP0rZYa9Ukc
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or425Please respect copyright.PENANAFgldJR5BbD
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,425Please respect copyright.PENANArXFvkNo5PV
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until425Please respect copyright.PENANAD6i2A3VlEZ
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such425Please respect copyright.PENANAYYd56t7ySy
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it425Please respect copyright.PENANAg8xie97ylz
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*425Please respect copyright.PENANAYAoxmTGgHC
or something else of an uncanny nature.425Please respect copyright.PENANAl8oWjGzA40
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -425Please respect copyright.PENANAt8F2hZ3fQc
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master425Please respect copyright.PENANAkO4bED1pNy
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as425Please respect copyright.PENANAvem3Xtj8Kq
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.425Please respect copyright.PENANA9wfwHtES57
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher425Please respect copyright.PENANAALJaHEjbfT
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a425Please respect copyright.PENANAf32kgcWkHK
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon425Please respect copyright.PENANA1bAG6lU0rm
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped425Please respect copyright.PENANAwnKuORfWDd
being produced since the last war.425Please respect copyright.PENANAow6jxGGp2c
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few425Please respect copyright.PENANALRDhElKxuu
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his425Please respect copyright.PENANAB0V16tvQ9f
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.425Please respect copyright.PENANAmxeO0e7kEO
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word425Please respect copyright.PENANAlj3QefECoj
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188425Please respect copyright.PENANAk2PCrC9KZz
Hair colour: Golden425Please respect copyright.PENANA2eOi3FyTU7
Eye colour: Blue425Please respect copyright.PENANAjBxBMbaKbG
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and425Please respect copyright.PENANAg3vPYLpRZ8
through.425Please respect copyright.PENANAiqLnwMY9Yp
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen425Please respect copyright.PENANA1GRDIBaZCX
stained with flowered scars.425Please respect copyright.PENANAnIJMyNxMt6
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are425Please respect copyright.PENANAt0oVjjl474
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being425Please respect copyright.PENANAy9b4P0Arb1
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like425Please respect copyright.PENANAzuvOjB6ZLS
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,425Please respect copyright.PENANA870KKNBgIR
as they get passed across mouth and land.425Please respect copyright.PENANAHenicuCcVp
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave425Please respect copyright.PENANAfsV8ailjqf
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned425Please respect copyright.PENANAmrS7W9AAXn
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for425Please respect copyright.PENANAh5ltWbw1xp
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any425Please respect copyright.PENANAZKbalCJPI4
soldier’s orders.425Please respect copyright.PENANAEVAHDrBd7w
And that is but the latest.425Please respect copyright.PENANAOGu8vVT5Nf
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is425Please respect copyright.PENANAcy0cYBdyf3
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.425Please respect copyright.PENANA5ziA8Fp893
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems425Please respect copyright.PENANAMRfTiQOMBz
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man425Please respect copyright.PENANAbLZeyJ1ZQs
to follow.425Please respect copyright.PENANAWazJsjyPrx
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader425Please respect copyright.PENANAU0XnxrxNNh
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this425Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZHf3d0R1i
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
