Hair colour: Black416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5gwadz3kV
Eye colour: Yellow416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt41DsB17R6
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF1r6R8fE8
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRIy5yebwV
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcs1xNWVjk
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTttgAbYDa
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ybci1MFDB
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5AcHYTfPq
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo97drT6Yxt
importance lies elsewhere.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDIBxtCYAa
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUvpnhKmxK
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwccIzvCAK3
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqnMNQQwPN
scholars.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4b6Cycf19
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSh63SVZUE
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY4lG3Bt2M
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeZtSNKhyq
Hair colour: White416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y28sndKrc
Eye colour: Pale Blue416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyXAyO1Qqu
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlmbech3YY
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqCkujur0C
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiAQZhIstd
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZHvsIKPrf
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75MLnPLf57
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWpPG19SQF
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzZ5S66ung
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgtPXGwYNl
Hervies simply could not pass on it.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhMfMxkYaZ
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtLaxOSddt
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3NpgoV5Rm
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Se78MxFLe
are not his only strength.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuucB5PIZT
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrYeMJJaqn
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVczRbDK6U
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8C48y6dJj
ever hope to have around.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ262hHmRP
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4QwfKeWHd
have been someone important prior to joining?416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOqX16Enew
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYx5P6AkIa
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz0JTHhqS4
Hair colour: Red and Blue416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsAAk5RgjV
Eye colour: Pale Blue416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEgUGLwwqp
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3InblwUB0j
those she serves with.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LFhjx6la6
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyAgw6DqXr
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2ICh3fmrY
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzdDbUIA21
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpDFBVDi6Z
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jMx7x1vuJ
still surrounds her.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCntzSxqa7C
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GEbx6No2Y
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFVIfjZcVA
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWs1vSdFwO
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUDs2sRey4
to name it...416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfiNYOwVIO
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0jJcHOzHf
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhN5kyuRfV
them until they were heard from no more.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKHHrGjnYp
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVota9udPE
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeljjpNb1OQ
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfjdG9xdA7
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndg46WJidp
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzrg2EaTiz
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFrkV45Wgw
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8GmysG1Jz
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPoyVI8o7V
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86wUa2PqRF
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JNVd8v8Lf
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOXUcymuWA
Hair colour: Pitch Black416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ2VSvX90k
Eye colour: Green416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGl93494oG
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ3r0Zd9jd
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaYLir7tYd
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kesE0RZ9S
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmBwMKzhzI
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAc9WwhBap
and rundown houses.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavIBOAM2KH
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rHvKKXRsb
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7mJijHIef
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06F0zyqEyO
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEwknjl7QE
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiy6qOGz2X
Impossible, and yet it was true.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosQ0a829KU
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFthmlHt3sv
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPIYOt8TyL
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD1kSFb7hq
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡridgZOmUpe
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14PTvIVljB
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4CUghNPVi
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2niuzrmehD
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLha52fcNK
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEcNn4rN0U
or something else of an uncanny nature.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchzkPcWty7
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GkeqwGp1Z
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWgL4drSG1
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34BE7FO5oy
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc8KpuyzlL
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6t79srSOE
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XDav70B0u
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPGdax26Gk
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCzGDPmkM7
being produced since the last war.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBCHY8OH9v
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqvLbXXA2q
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ377L7gB1cy
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbysipn4w1
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uymKJawDH
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZEn5aG70B
Hair colour: Golden416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02mDwRb9nW
Eye colour: Blue416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHfCZlqqxw
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOG7v8vN68
through.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1MXPvIesE
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93agjMkxIJ
stained with flowered scars.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHBS9K4IQ4
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqju8p3qTa
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBzs8NKzK3
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jWrhpx0tC
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlnqDUPB0W
as they get passed across mouth and land.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyQspKSUaa
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfUrqmmDXI
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9vPJ3pDiX
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssfQya5qXE
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rGUBktL2K
soldier’s orders.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu42BCfLB1
And that is but the latest.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFoKMaZjGW
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQqaKWtMJ7
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YEB8Qlzop
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93Rbyjfa29
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBHUK5AvEd
to follow.416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGHXZlL51b
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCJx2kZAyM
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYTDeNFnuR
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
