Hair colour: Black375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxf10csVwEF
Eye colour: Yellow375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOSXSzNlWY
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W6tnXpAep
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdI3yw5l4p
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceqKh6SZKQ
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LVxdntx2S
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ61jDi3ZT
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2hsfqHeek
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQB3uIgJ49
importance lies elsewhere.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKvFO077GA
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG1ueKmvwo
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHgH6D3eeP
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsfWeDG2H9
scholars.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPjYDMq3Zg
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXbKBQ4fQE
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRQ7vTT27z
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9tVGqpF7Y
Hair colour: White375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77nXJEknip
Eye colour: Pale Blue375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbxsyiXjQ3
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH55VryjZTl
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0M7NdrkwP
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdKVtSU87v
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr1Y5gffRP
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjZ7z5AiV6
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gvMxOib7U
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZduYVWH6M
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NIa6IC8sV
Hervies simply could not pass on it.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIS73zLgyB
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQiwbvzXJB
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWDiFUc8wt
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXIvGhZce9
are not his only strength.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQyKaaOaSG
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2NLfxviPW
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD6V5LTuyl
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMYTRC8Uwa
ever hope to have around.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLrmVNe3d0
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzggCgRKwJX
have been someone important prior to joining?375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP7JXuIli8
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJrEX2o8ue
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO99oD2SO4
Hair colour: Red and Blue375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwra07sCpD
Eye colour: Pale Blue375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJGjvpDk0h
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ep2BTDWIg
those she serves with.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nRBj1Iou6
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7EdHmUjbY
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Jce2CI3Q
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0vWko5Ewn
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLk7CS0LsJg
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL0pacKoGz
still surrounds her.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAI5itqxiH
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8eaRCMCmP
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX83HB8vT6
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSzU5CJj6G
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAjEj56aEn
to name it...375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zW71qEck5
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NJKTY24Yy
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd5h2EaeEr
them until they were heard from no more.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKLCxjVPkT
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L57zi1ISQ
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi83oEg46K
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktQBWUCPvu
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91dWvsePVJ
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM65PhXdtd
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasX2LGzOVX
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FwdPiJQPm
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YavCUYd6d
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglzQ4m2wJd
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQyXKRqdCT
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Hair colour: Pitch Black375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mrDEsLdPH
Eye colour: Green375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVvdBvshyg
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrOANzDw3C
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYlZOtrUIB
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CaurGWwIZ
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjlWbAOmDx
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkcyhpJ7SA
and rundown houses.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUNTqMAdNC
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFD7uWAVyE
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0oTXiPJYx
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0kCEPYJJi
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjA7TryPF6
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSFHNkyGDt
Impossible, and yet it was true.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1116KGTFd
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB8b9ni3mc
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDbEdRzBSU
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2MaWDVtBl
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgDhA6mbak
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEZH63ijgZ
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVMJkUTDGw
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK0GMo64sn
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpXL49rZXR
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWhNYeRfrK
or something else of an uncanny nature.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFq74QYywQ
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRObINYnHu
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU4zoOyqHT
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUxkeoZGCt
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQAAJ3e7Q4
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNKMaDGYEM
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotvSSry0lr
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu99rr1OVa
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzLpyLCsx8
being produced since the last war.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjPEZ0lIz8
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9t5hwEZPS
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHJEnr3Viw
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Yk07QKAm
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8kRsz9bLs
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tkKfhffWK
Hair colour: Golden375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQbE70OpOB
Eye colour: Blue375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1EyRKyI0X
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8EnG1yHaY
through.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6MyE6Oap3
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa2luVMAr1
stained with flowered scars.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMFlwOMfTA
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4vEUxDHbw
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLCJa2MzYM
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZugN7azrvl
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nmp7nhYAi
as they get passed across mouth and land.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qa9UmIIHO
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLR68jcfGe
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjYkk53mHn
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLDIh12Dw8
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1F16rLlUQ
soldier’s orders.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldLCTt6T08
And that is but the latest.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWiZbaxk6C
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU2qIbDnKj
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjNveRN5zc
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYp2TRcylk
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaiJ6wPjkh
to follow.375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbTyiTJNKA
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEhQy7tooG
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this375Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtMVuyXLAc
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
