Height: 177375Please respect copyright.PENANAog5C1cVA6z
Hair colour: Black375Please respect copyright.PENANAxf10csVwEF

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.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182375Please respect copyright.PENANAfx9T2XBdQA
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...
