Height: 177425Please respect copyright.PENANAElnMmtQAc0
Hair colour: Black425Please respect copyright.PENANAB2Sm6i3AqI
Eye colour: Yellow425Please respect copyright.PENANAFibh4PgLAm
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to425Please respect copyright.PENANAP463TwKmls
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to425Please respect copyright.PENANAWjxl9PbzZs
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the425Please respect copyright.PENANARAVmjNTCsN
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.425Please respect copyright.PENANAQzhCK6vlHF
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth425Please respect copyright.PENANAfhxCoCo6YJ
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat425Please respect copyright.PENANAnkE66TghY8
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main425Please respect copyright.PENANAGtPLuuiG8H
importance lies elsewhere.425Please respect copyright.PENANAeUbD7CcuIn
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she425Please respect copyright.PENANA3dS8PUHceF
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability425Please respect copyright.PENANAx8jx7nfcQo
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed425Please respect copyright.PENANAJhcPaT9bfx
scholars.425Please respect copyright.PENANAZNmcnanepL
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much425Please respect copyright.PENANAlOGVE3L0Ty
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of425Please respect copyright.PENANAAF6KB8Bvyv
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184425Please respect copyright.PENANA7Xo2FYGXyC
Hair colour: White425Please respect copyright.PENANAITVaCr6uBt
Eye colour: Pale Blue425Please respect copyright.PENANA7p3jMpE7zr
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face425Please respect copyright.PENANAqSS0SY5of7
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered425Please respect copyright.PENANAjyasL3YmzR
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.425Please respect copyright.PENANAQD8YlAQDeC
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.425Please respect copyright.PENANAGdV4WOSoTx
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to425Please respect copyright.PENANASGtGoxuD9b
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.425Please respect copyright.PENANADGXD8dTaso
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually425Please respect copyright.PENANAgOqiGotMA3
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that425Please respect copyright.PENANAJBZbsJIUqe
Hervies simply could not pass on it.425Please respect copyright.PENANAHR8IfQu0Id
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of425Please respect copyright.PENANABB4ux9ZRg6
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails425Please respect copyright.PENANAisLDlPyzgl
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman425Please respect copyright.PENANAvpqqKkWKNP
are not his only strength.425Please respect copyright.PENANAZHJbLVSVGQ
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of425Please respect copyright.PENANAJaQqRU2XRs
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making425Please respect copyright.PENANAv3W8tFVAoE
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could425Please respect copyright.PENANACPdlzsZsOS
ever hope to have around.425Please respect copyright.PENANAiqG2XsZBTH
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he425Please respect copyright.PENANAWKRYWJVotk
have been someone important prior to joining?425Please respect copyright.PENANAI1lROwOfZu
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?425Please respect copyright.PENANAcriviwzKWN
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182425Please respect copyright.PENANAxXnIQalIKi
Hair colour: Red and Blue425Please respect copyright.PENANAqqGxpqcFvm
Eye colour: Pale Blue425Please respect copyright.PENANApexu0w4SKp
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to425Please respect copyright.PENANAPrWEubRYUV
those she serves with.425Please respect copyright.PENANAyqQ6eTa8ph
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce425Please respect copyright.PENANA3YYSiH1Rrd
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.425Please respect copyright.PENANAZoUR7yrqTp
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of425Please respect copyright.PENANAhZlwc1kWEc
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.425Please respect copyright.PENANAVRjUWfuWGb
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery425Please respect copyright.PENANA91sJ3YIyFG
still surrounds her.425Please respect copyright.PENANATWXB8OZs0W
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of425Please respect copyright.PENANAMvmLMvShXT
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,425Please respect copyright.PENANAm2W0tUZDi6
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it425Please respect copyright.PENANAvBEoGguuzj
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed425Please respect copyright.PENANAEZgMnZu6UC
to name it...425Please respect copyright.PENANAfWMZ1Kkwp3
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen425Please respect copyright.PENANAddxVJAkDlB
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning425Please respect copyright.PENANAzoaGEWRmmm
them until they were heard from no more.425Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ2FuOCvmt
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable425Please respect copyright.PENANAgV86sgzdkD
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon425Please respect copyright.PENANAL9WDSwPBEw
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.425Please respect copyright.PENANA4409T28MTm
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that425Please respect copyright.PENANAzWhJyqwoys
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.425Please respect copyright.PENANALFwTiJUNpG
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into425Please respect copyright.PENANA8HMFGLmenw
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more425Please respect copyright.PENANA64MHxtnW0p
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely425Please respect copyright.PENANA3sODGPE8nD
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.425Please respect copyright.PENANATyMYURXFwv
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is425Please respect copyright.PENANAqmYesriqz7
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182425Please respect copyright.PENANAivIFroETEI
Hair colour: Pitch Black425Please respect copyright.PENANAphrjq3V362
Eye colour: Green425Please respect copyright.PENANA36jejTvnWC
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by425Please respect copyright.PENANAKU0eDnYCWP
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the425Please respect copyright.PENANAUHMMEAnJcm
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got425Please respect copyright.PENANApnNAEzcQ2k
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.425Please respect copyright.PENANAy8jsXghyhi
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets425Please respect copyright.PENANACRDex639yT
and rundown houses.425Please respect copyright.PENANANkj6taiU5m
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with425Please respect copyright.PENANAxvvnFmYFsL
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...425Please respect copyright.PENANA8f29xMFk3I
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?425Please respect copyright.PENANAuoY3dqJt2E
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one425Please respect copyright.PENANA01ul94jh8N
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?425Please respect copyright.PENANA3j2aLSqP7c
Impossible, and yet it was true.425Please respect copyright.PENANABPFzWyTFkd
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,425Please respect copyright.PENANA1MbN1Zfab2
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor425Please respect copyright.PENANA1uOgfGEEtx
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for425Please respect copyright.PENANAkGX0tcmmY7
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or425Please respect copyright.PENANAKZNTFS3E7X
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,425Please respect copyright.PENANAdxvoyHiL9y
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until425Please respect copyright.PENANARUGaOku8So
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such425Please respect copyright.PENANAzcKe5SFcdx
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it425Please respect copyright.PENANA9fWzn7HtdO
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*425Please respect copyright.PENANAYu3g1veWjD
or something else of an uncanny nature.425Please respect copyright.PENANALjVSdkI8gx
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -425Please respect copyright.PENANAAeMv3n3on2
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master425Please respect copyright.PENANAr07vFVn87c
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as425Please respect copyright.PENANALqbo4QapNT
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.425Please respect copyright.PENANAihRZu1GTVa
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher425Please respect copyright.PENANAaG4Xdtawzw
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a425Please respect copyright.PENANAlnSsOgloRd
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon425Please respect copyright.PENANANSgHOU7nbW
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped425Please respect copyright.PENANAi6syq5QpDn
being produced since the last war.425Please respect copyright.PENANAPiWFMxBQux
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few425Please respect copyright.PENANARW9np9eZ2k
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his425Please respect copyright.PENANAYOPVgcm79K
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.425Please respect copyright.PENANAUed9p6DEAN
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word425Please respect copyright.PENANAImbwZXws12
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188425Please respect copyright.PENANAWeG5AIUTU6
Hair colour: Golden425Please respect copyright.PENANAX5KjQZxFkn
Eye colour: Blue425Please respect copyright.PENANAh00k19QAlK
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and425Please respect copyright.PENANA7DbGKnZhuz
through.425Please respect copyright.PENANAvBaggOSQ2A
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen425Please respect copyright.PENANAvgf7kwojza
stained with flowered scars.425Please respect copyright.PENANAjJUXKdH0Jn
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are425Please respect copyright.PENANAroVk8vn3wn
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being425Please respect copyright.PENANAHjWsp6rYxS
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like425Please respect copyright.PENANASpbLbSwK74
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,425Please respect copyright.PENANAf55fRIxrjy
as they get passed across mouth and land.425Please respect copyright.PENANAYPb812g2Hb
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave425Please respect copyright.PENANA1KecnBoP6x
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned425Please respect copyright.PENANAhyY5EBehQi
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for425Please respect copyright.PENANAVKJHSPugYV
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any425Please respect copyright.PENANAc0CMzyjeCx
soldier’s orders.425Please respect copyright.PENANA75a9JBWGIT
And that is but the latest.425Please respect copyright.PENANAm3AliHi80R
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is425Please respect copyright.PENANAZeeayVQrLk
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.425Please respect copyright.PENANAELbJIUH3So
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems425Please respect copyright.PENANAK6u3GtFITo
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man425Please respect copyright.PENANAE79IjOcfIp
to follow.425Please respect copyright.PENANAwoKsdqBAbR
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader425Please respect copyright.PENANAD4AXWyyW6T
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this425Please respect copyright.PENANAE8lbRhpO9B
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
