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...
