Height: 177425Please respect copyright.PENANASmBE3YzNK7
Hair colour: Black425Please respect copyright.PENANAgZhHv96Ki2
Eye colour: Yellow425Please respect copyright.PENANAhM2IKAAlr6
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to425Please respect copyright.PENANAkj3mzHAm6X
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to425Please respect copyright.PENANAA3FwMk0pwa
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the425Please respect copyright.PENANAZwMhJoPnQx
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.425Please respect copyright.PENANAVFzwMpu8qF
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth425Please respect copyright.PENANA3DNmqf9wDB
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat425Please respect copyright.PENANAz5QdcIQgqk
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main425Please respect copyright.PENANAFxZ1FxtyDW
importance lies elsewhere.425Please respect copyright.PENANAKTtIPLWnlA
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she425Please respect copyright.PENANAc5rQM6hyGj
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability425Please respect copyright.PENANA8LV9LiF4Q0
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed425Please respect copyright.PENANAmrZdnZa7Tc
scholars.425Please respect copyright.PENANA4vBtvbqhfv
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much425Please respect copyright.PENANAKvy7qqin7l
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of425Please respect copyright.PENANA4GBxcQZwjd
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184425Please respect copyright.PENANAv9dJwIIkzb
Hair colour: White425Please respect copyright.PENANAmW162b29Ye
Eye colour: Pale Blue425Please respect copyright.PENANAf0TDksEOY4
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face425Please respect copyright.PENANAAPpWpvopmJ
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered425Please respect copyright.PENANAGwrg3tiv98
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.425Please respect copyright.PENANAxRKVMPZKBb
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.425Please respect copyright.PENANAWlAWjwKbdU
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to425Please respect copyright.PENANAsx8u80gEuR
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.425Please respect copyright.PENANAACISypAG9F
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually425Please respect copyright.PENANAswMht0mEZl
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that425Please respect copyright.PENANAIbFP5uWQBn
Hervies simply could not pass on it.425Please respect copyright.PENANAXQPhmCzdGE
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of425Please respect copyright.PENANAFy9qaYGev0
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails425Please respect copyright.PENANAJwWY0tpQ5d
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman425Please respect copyright.PENANA49hYmUrRiq
are not his only strength.425Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ1Uczsh56
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of425Please respect copyright.PENANAr3de5pR3Tv
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making425Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ2uHVvKBg
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could425Please respect copyright.PENANA5TANkaXDXw
ever hope to have around.425Please respect copyright.PENANAD3mtQj6R2O
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he425Please respect copyright.PENANAJsgAQxiLpn
have been someone important prior to joining?425Please respect copyright.PENANAQKchBOcPJf
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?425Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9iTB8r5lq
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182425Please respect copyright.PENANAwhxB3B5WwZ
Hair colour: Red and Blue425Please respect copyright.PENANAPRgY4SaiNJ
Eye colour: Pale Blue425Please respect copyright.PENANAEgSewx403w
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to425Please respect copyright.PENANAmVwQsr1PfK
those she serves with.425Please respect copyright.PENANAif5UA2u8OW
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce425Please respect copyright.PENANAIMu4VfjNYD
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.425Please respect copyright.PENANAlSBJ2SIDTn
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of425Please respect copyright.PENANA2zwVNNTOQL
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.425Please respect copyright.PENANAhst9Ze0Mjx
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery425Please respect copyright.PENANAvJAJ0owTBE
still surrounds her.425Please respect copyright.PENANAfdlUkYZVhg
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of425Please respect copyright.PENANAY1N4wawma1
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,425Please respect copyright.PENANAOi5S9oi8Db
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it425Please respect copyright.PENANA9QTzKbhmEL
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed425Please respect copyright.PENANAcBUtVfDFmR
to name it...425Please respect copyright.PENANAP6jWcHX9jY
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen425Please respect copyright.PENANAdsySzgmKLx
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning425Please respect copyright.PENANAADHtVdvl0M
them until they were heard from no more.425Please respect copyright.PENANAg8FSkl2ree
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable425Please respect copyright.PENANA1yX5CbZay1
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon425Please respect copyright.PENANAwNZcS5Ugx8
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.425Please respect copyright.PENANA5gpZTQ0EyZ
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that425Please respect copyright.PENANAGcCvfxL2Fo
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.425Please respect copyright.PENANAUiriZlZ794
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into425Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q8nliEa0p
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more425Please respect copyright.PENANAu9Of3iP5N1
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely425Please respect copyright.PENANAPt9YO2FupN
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.425Please respect copyright.PENANAu22ofzRshI
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is425Please respect copyright.PENANABQB5HWzA5e
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182425Please respect copyright.PENANAOaotwnjyQ8
Hair colour: Pitch Black425Please respect copyright.PENANAugOQxVhIfP
Eye colour: Green425Please respect copyright.PENANA57lwISl3Do
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by425Please respect copyright.PENANAf44HjCmdyD
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the425Please respect copyright.PENANAKz8lsuAvFg
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got425Please respect copyright.PENANAdk5iW4rzJD
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.425Please respect copyright.PENANAdwUZr9Cu2K
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets425Please respect copyright.PENANA3bWNpvrfI2
and rundown houses.425Please respect copyright.PENANAE0m5gJFeoA
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with425Please respect copyright.PENANAn7XNpyTvsL
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...425Please respect copyright.PENANAB8JfvkThH3
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?425Please respect copyright.PENANAUADTsTGKfQ
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one425Please respect copyright.PENANAkoF1PMKi83
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?425Please respect copyright.PENANAN3EBhA7tw7
Impossible, and yet it was true.425Please respect copyright.PENANAmjEJTVHrWY
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,425Please respect copyright.PENANAtTdaRR4As9
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor425Please respect copyright.PENANAkOg5RIZIaH
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for425Please respect copyright.PENANApPrae42tv9
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or425Please respect copyright.PENANAQonPOfhEsP
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,425Please respect copyright.PENANA74BISoEdgv
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until425Please respect copyright.PENANAHzgMbyN8zJ
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such425Please respect copyright.PENANAsYk4pTBidP
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it425Please respect copyright.PENANAst0DSuZhg7
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*425Please respect copyright.PENANAgm5MYfscd7
or something else of an uncanny nature.425Please respect copyright.PENANA7t8b5wtfym
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -425Please respect copyright.PENANAEel3x1ATNm
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master425Please respect copyright.PENANAYyvHer4pga
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as425Please respect copyright.PENANAtrOhvA4nuF
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.425Please respect copyright.PENANAXY6MSq4h51
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher425Please respect copyright.PENANAUIQ1b2dGIA
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a425Please respect copyright.PENANA62BlIgSf1D
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon425Please respect copyright.PENANA13pOfpMIQS
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped425Please respect copyright.PENANAXLpRzaeK7h
being produced since the last war.425Please respect copyright.PENANA16u2eenrzm
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few425Please respect copyright.PENANAO9yJ9bZPgS
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his425Please respect copyright.PENANAjKmuykaOQk
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.425Please respect copyright.PENANAVysVClx63J
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word425Please respect copyright.PENANAYfEUzlsW45
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188425Please respect copyright.PENANA5NvbBe5G7F
Hair colour: Golden425Please respect copyright.PENANAYmDXjPHZdH
Eye colour: Blue425Please respect copyright.PENANAyTn0krcDWw
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and425Please respect copyright.PENANAlQpcz6Gdkv
through.425Please respect copyright.PENANAFnBGChWaRr
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen425Please respect copyright.PENANAAHB7pWorLJ
stained with flowered scars.425Please respect copyright.PENANAYXtwV3eXdM
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are425Please respect copyright.PENANAFL0pEz4k70
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being425Please respect copyright.PENANAZUeewMZnxR
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like425Please respect copyright.PENANA2g2gMKEEoV
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,425Please respect copyright.PENANAoe0OFwAaKW
as they get passed across mouth and land.425Please respect copyright.PENANAyMZQ7OTOSG
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave425Please respect copyright.PENANAJTSDTPJvoW
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned425Please respect copyright.PENANAZ72HSqEMLL
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for425Please respect copyright.PENANAMkrkaTfcnZ
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any425Please respect copyright.PENANA4lNxPPXk9w
soldier’s orders.425Please respect copyright.PENANAXDnrbh4AyP
And that is but the latest.425Please respect copyright.PENANAVbHkkjPfQN
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is425Please respect copyright.PENANAlKjUqzDcoH
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.425Please respect copyright.PENANAaCdQVYyu9z
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems425Please respect copyright.PENANAbHg9bSaUqA
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man425Please respect copyright.PENANAKke2svZoGt
to follow.425Please respect copyright.PENANAObDEgtauO4
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader425Please respect copyright.PENANAjwdwIgUBdR
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this425Please respect copyright.PENANAbfc8YWU1tN
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
