Height: 177382Please respect copyright.PENANAIdC5eLQLhl
Hair colour: Black382Please respect copyright.PENANAGvxFxz57Qc
Eye colour: Yellow382Please respect copyright.PENANAZf9IlICubN
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to382Please respect copyright.PENANAO3nM11WUJd
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to382Please respect copyright.PENANAJl8uAIHOFI
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the382Please respect copyright.PENANAkQOiMnMRGk
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.382Please respect copyright.PENANAwgEVQy1LFY
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth382Please respect copyright.PENANAJutpXglCBF
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat382Please respect copyright.PENANA3FioqI9kW1
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main382Please respect copyright.PENANAHhI07hSVXF
importance lies elsewhere.382Please respect copyright.PENANAuFoziyWpuW
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she382Please respect copyright.PENANAGSUl5D6Qwd
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability382Please respect copyright.PENANAF796Q0mh6n
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed382Please respect copyright.PENANAIV3fD4drnP
scholars.382Please respect copyright.PENANAm7RT7kBjc6
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much382Please respect copyright.PENANAIgEO5YufS5
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of382Please respect copyright.PENANAtqoAJw96y9
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184382Please respect copyright.PENANAKLmxsqPklA
Hair colour: White382Please respect copyright.PENANA029UWIBxQk
Eye colour: Pale Blue382Please respect copyright.PENANA09mwnPj5LE
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face382Please respect copyright.PENANA2WoGsJyQtb
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered382Please respect copyright.PENANAiZqFZBsNJ4
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.382Please respect copyright.PENANAua2Vbxbm65
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.382Please respect copyright.PENANAJiPPNGwdE5
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to382Please respect copyright.PENANAAo87OmuGkA
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.382Please respect copyright.PENANAKXNJ2B0siY
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually382Please respect copyright.PENANADyXQoPgGTq
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that382Please respect copyright.PENANAiLk3nj9BtX
Hervies simply could not pass on it.382Please respect copyright.PENANAwVvIuYTzY6
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of382Please respect copyright.PENANAhuznGBLcXZ
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails382Please respect copyright.PENANA7R4spTSFX4
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman382Please respect copyright.PENANAk4zNbRDXd3
are not his only strength.382Please respect copyright.PENANAhCYgfS7Uee
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of382Please respect copyright.PENANA267jLRZbKO
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making382Please respect copyright.PENANAcWEOPAM55A
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could382Please respect copyright.PENANAUvTMwo1ujB
ever hope to have around.382Please respect copyright.PENANAoGbDOZmCkE
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he382Please respect copyright.PENANAPvMMAiMVOs
have been someone important prior to joining?382Please respect copyright.PENANADb1ubYM6aC
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?382Please respect copyright.PENANAcvYH3B5dVZ
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182382Please respect copyright.PENANAvil1xsIuz5
Hair colour: Red and Blue382Please respect copyright.PENANAPStmjMtHAI
Eye colour: Pale Blue382Please respect copyright.PENANANycHe67LCI
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to382Please respect copyright.PENANAWuFCvquQBa
those she serves with.382Please respect copyright.PENANA6fmplNRnky
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce382Please respect copyright.PENANAtEHEqoh3xF
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.382Please respect copyright.PENANATZM4CPLAad
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of382Please respect copyright.PENANAFYPZkzOREZ
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.382Please respect copyright.PENANAxZpYEekRL1
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery382Please respect copyright.PENANAdSALuUmnD4
still surrounds her.382Please respect copyright.PENANAjl2WPJ1qy9
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of382Please respect copyright.PENANAzVb0RvnNit
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,382Please respect copyright.PENANAyLE1tcr3Co
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it382Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZzjE85Fpt
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed382Please respect copyright.PENANA3vHtp8afzR
to name it...382Please respect copyright.PENANABappOcNxRs
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen382Please respect copyright.PENANAl1qHrii7hQ
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning382Please respect copyright.PENANAVhHxP1qmlB
them until they were heard from no more.382Please respect copyright.PENANAqC1a4x65QD
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable382Please respect copyright.PENANAPcdVuHGpb5
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon382Please respect copyright.PENANA45YkaU0R3L
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.382Please respect copyright.PENANAEu3Ja2YcP0
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that382Please respect copyright.PENANAQFXgmvvKST
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.382Please respect copyright.PENANABWZf28eueB
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into382Please respect copyright.PENANA6fgteWyF9l
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more382Please respect copyright.PENANAFsvRntLAdg
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely382Please respect copyright.PENANAVVy47hLpfz
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.382Please respect copyright.PENANAYTWgzcYj8b
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is382Please respect copyright.PENANAfD5uV0CWMJ
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182382Please respect copyright.PENANAEDj8G1fQcK
Hair colour: Pitch Black382Please respect copyright.PENANAkPrKjVJjho
Eye colour: Green382Please respect copyright.PENANA9ww6IG3rEg
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by382Please respect copyright.PENANAyKdTF8yESH
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the382Please respect copyright.PENANAcjbkdL4D8Z
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got382Please respect copyright.PENANAs25ItYVj9G
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.382Please respect copyright.PENANASLsnbUYAG9
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets382Please respect copyright.PENANATtDS3PFUI9
and rundown houses.382Please respect copyright.PENANAda9wvK1OKB
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with382Please respect copyright.PENANAdB8bDKOPWo
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...382Please respect copyright.PENANAhTjTwKE1FO
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?382Please respect copyright.PENANAIn4XMEGsi6
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one382Please respect copyright.PENANA2oOUUJu4pu
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?382Please respect copyright.PENANAjw7WP5u9bN
Impossible, and yet it was true.382Please respect copyright.PENANAVhioXDTObh
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,382Please respect copyright.PENANAVeeZHf869j
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor382Please respect copyright.PENANA7EaPpX6l43
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for382Please respect copyright.PENANAH4zv0R6YeE
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or382Please respect copyright.PENANA8sS0A55PCj
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,382Please respect copyright.PENANAhctUt36dUm
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until382Please respect copyright.PENANA5cd7hbujAE
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such382Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ9WMq4QY5
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it382Please respect copyright.PENANAM0p87dJq6o
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*382Please respect copyright.PENANAJTLIRCvWmw
or something else of an uncanny nature.382Please respect copyright.PENANAlkvOm4zM23
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -382Please respect copyright.PENANALky7OHtaow
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master382Please respect copyright.PENANApRYCGll8zN
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as382Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ7UrQLgGG
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.382Please respect copyright.PENANAFXqZh4ol09
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher382Please respect copyright.PENANA9V6bLGvmCk
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a382Please respect copyright.PENANA3ReffapyMV
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon382Please respect copyright.PENANAi6DYqT6V3p
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped382Please respect copyright.PENANA1HK1mP5P8L
being produced since the last war.382Please respect copyright.PENANAdCCHPvt2lQ
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few382Please respect copyright.PENANAgr0c9djs6A
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his382Please respect copyright.PENANAb6y0wgMRbF
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.382Please respect copyright.PENANAKBdLJGaH5a
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word382Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ9vrteZJy
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188382Please respect copyright.PENANAkRyXJWH07q
Hair colour: Golden382Please respect copyright.PENANAdfOtInblqt
Eye colour: Blue382Please respect copyright.PENANA07T5k3cGaO
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and382Please respect copyright.PENANAMNFjZA6QlO
through.382Please respect copyright.PENANAcmrkV9t8it
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen382Please respect copyright.PENANAD5y92xkwsU
stained with flowered scars.382Please respect copyright.PENANAj1aQ8qPtSI
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are382Please respect copyright.PENANAfn6VCbH4eZ
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being382Please respect copyright.PENANARRdKAKLx2O
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like382Please respect copyright.PENANAlMksDQaYsh
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,382Please respect copyright.PENANAHQcb9jzhVS
as they get passed across mouth and land.382Please respect copyright.PENANA2sv5IE2RUm
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave382Please respect copyright.PENANA3SDAADSvPZ
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned382Please respect copyright.PENANAxjevfSfQV2
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for382Please respect copyright.PENANAu479mLXk3u
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any382Please respect copyright.PENANAeZeb2ryLqk
soldier’s orders.382Please respect copyright.PENANAezUiK3eKbm
And that is but the latest.382Please respect copyright.PENANAgRzQgXPXRK
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is382Please respect copyright.PENANAO766yEm5nh
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.382Please respect copyright.PENANALKeCkhW8I2
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems382Please respect copyright.PENANAfOQhDmvBwv
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man382Please respect copyright.PENANAHBAVUaXSrV
to follow.382Please respect copyright.PENANAyMVfQXBst0
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader382Please respect copyright.PENANAEIbtn1AKig
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this382Please respect copyright.PENANAVdIVjV9Vgk
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
