Deena Elgo
Height: 177351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWqr7mjEDa
Hair colour: Black351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhlkXm0Un2
Eye colour: Yellow351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK1UU9GnMp
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8I1xgjcHL
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXidYzg1ZM
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27NSpUhfyD
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoXAtEOBBD
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHDbr4LqTM
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC6Q97E29G
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9n7tiHeG4
importance lies elsewhere.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalZda86juT
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsycRCt9WZz
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0HhEujRx5
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K1XFNDUh5
scholars.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL3lmA3Wcr
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIFwF4igPe
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXmfhaV3xm
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkM228to3s
Hair colour: White351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSzjPokB3x
Eye colour: Pale Blue351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUcr4TD6nH
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyxHikAs7p
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRggcqM2piI
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwEGjwxRsr
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzJbh2pOiy
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR1kmoE1Xs
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytIe38KJwg
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfGExvZjaK
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyc6EXEe9U
Hervies simply could not pass on it.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYbA5xyS10
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iuWRjtWZf
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckf3aVSnSH
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXqiiG7LOa
are not his only strength.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCowby0M0y
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6HNjSA2R8
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmOjVG3nja
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE5QI3rXHZ
ever hope to have around.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl8VVKGmpV
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcQftWtjKZ
have been someone important prior to joining?351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtWr67LRkD
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HLFbs4Zmj
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7M5G4B0cr
Hair colour: Red and Blue351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcI1CzDv3D
Eye colour: Pale Blue351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuj5MIZoDV
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQYYpIgGOi
those she serves with.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUmone5NsS
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu7OOMQwq1
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPcB6IJIQS
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQXqQyrjdo
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ871Y3mrPlQ
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifqlVi9Zy4
still surrounds her.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVPtNO7zjj
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AqBkoTdiA
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo03k1RLbf
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxcbjZ0Djw
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDID3JDEjjj
to name it...351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLXhbSOtsY
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c77RWpVhn
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWij0z8yJFv
them until they were heard from no more.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV5GRxLcCt
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg38Vw04b1d
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNk5ywvmbA
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc4hFJG6Pf
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ4Q2wCE5O
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsYAMggktL
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGXAZ9qI0T
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZwGOozBWS
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGPidf88Qv
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ILaO8W7Dw
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlL4D3HAIm
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5PoNAI7bb
Hair colour: Pitch Black351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nnyX5OPmy
Eye colour: Green351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTjYg8MQKC
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoLySgHAQ1
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uKmtz5z6a
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMNfJCVh9l
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIfbG4yVXL
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pzJ1fsSvR
and rundown houses.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXhPSg5LOI
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj98oQDQkV
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbkBQF7Ltn
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaTzxcjeLN
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nJfVPTwDV
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIiap5c6Vv
Impossible, and yet it was true.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYhjrcZh9n
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWtBQJ7FbA
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n72oz19N1
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcfak0agy6
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRwohsrQ7f
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkDRuDa9kp
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRFJLpa8dg
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUCrSeos9u
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZoLyVEQKb
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGfFoBgpzN
or something else of an uncanny nature.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqlh0xyhO5
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgexeNCAne
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIakUj8rO9E
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACZeyYo1ye
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CwZS9TAcg
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBUXOK0tMD
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ9XGMJasO
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXxWCrREZF
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT59bjzvGR
being produced since the last war.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzTilO8Bjs
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvuGOIICMj
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgntXcyu6v
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBI29KU41u
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQuuVIrVRb
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxWuCg8beQ
Hair colour: Golden351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxvAomFrWY
Eye colour: Blue351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0yjmWRJXB
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnumdeFAZ4
through.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUU3m0RpQZ
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo7nqenf6G
stained with flowered scars.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAupFWDrrb
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOYjNcjPpN
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iWC97ybGq
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMxOzPAZg5
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uQulhAFXL
as they get passed across mouth and land.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlM4FQmRif
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqYItNicFk
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MkIEUzAck
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Nv0g9MbR
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtwQIKiH7W
soldier’s orders.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZynWpvqo3
And that is but the latest.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttjgvrSQB2
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMECSWgFlf
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDovGB63wTD
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9R4Vw4lkD
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EQ2oElWz8
to follow.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtMk82TpS9
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31T4uKAbAa
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TBDdkr3cs
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
