Height: 177325Please respect copyright.PENANA77jx2X4wfT
Hair colour: Black325Please respect copyright.PENANAbzkNH3iay8
Eye colour: Yellow325Please respect copyright.PENANAJxEJ3puDm3
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to325Please respect copyright.PENANAUOQyI2Jmcd
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to325Please respect copyright.PENANA10t46sbKN7
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the325Please respect copyright.PENANAR1AcfgKOKK
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.325Please respect copyright.PENANAXnRnN4bnt6
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth325Please respect copyright.PENANAFScZwkmYBM
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat325Please respect copyright.PENANA5w4KctIZI5
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main325Please respect copyright.PENANAecs23Ku7LP
importance lies elsewhere.325Please respect copyright.PENANA4cltYOve77
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she325Please respect copyright.PENANA70Cjje2slm
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability325Please respect copyright.PENANAiCPtFByMKn
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed325Please respect copyright.PENANATsHb3UZkAR
scholars.325Please respect copyright.PENANAIk7xQruDoD
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much325Please respect copyright.PENANATOelinzzmW
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of325Please respect copyright.PENANAhifXJoPSCN
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184325Please respect copyright.PENANA0mjPY53va9
Hair colour: White325Please respect copyright.PENANAmvvdj16Lfm
Eye colour: Pale Blue325Please respect copyright.PENANA6plReCledv
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face325Please respect copyright.PENANA7xw9StrhsL
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered325Please respect copyright.PENANAcyAv5ypixu
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.325Please respect copyright.PENANAgv78FuKSMC
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.325Please respect copyright.PENANAykbJUazBo2
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to325Please respect copyright.PENANAueNkVWWFzN
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.325Please respect copyright.PENANAgsbdbj0SlR
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually325Please respect copyright.PENANAZLbtkmuC0V
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that325Please respect copyright.PENANAjhpfnzgEIm
Hervies simply could not pass on it.325Please respect copyright.PENANAgHMkVcuagD
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of325Please respect copyright.PENANARX14QFCXHr
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails325Please respect copyright.PENANANmNRC9GFZh
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman325Please respect copyright.PENANAJDhfHXqLHT
are not his only strength.325Please respect copyright.PENANAHK1p4iVQew
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of325Please respect copyright.PENANAZC7sejrEGB
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making325Please respect copyright.PENANA8S2j3Fvzei
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could325Please respect copyright.PENANAQihOEFrMPm
ever hope to have around.325Please respect copyright.PENANA26CWiSGzjq
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he325Please respect copyright.PENANA6XJ7UWcQUO
have been someone important prior to joining?325Please respect copyright.PENANAiA8rzIi3SP
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?325Please respect copyright.PENANA1BdPyJKtn3
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182325Please respect copyright.PENANAX9QxyNtbhY
Hair colour: Red and Blue325Please respect copyright.PENANAoUgMMowEWB
Eye colour: Pale Blue325Please respect copyright.PENANARGvCSe9qpe
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to325Please respect copyright.PENANAdSOmiEWujK
those she serves with.325Please respect copyright.PENANA01yWxKP7WG
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce325Please respect copyright.PENANAazP3PzLoIz
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.325Please respect copyright.PENANAQ01HHZePKV
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of325Please respect copyright.PENANANS0Ki8CMlt
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.325Please respect copyright.PENANAZoOWAuV4qv
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery325Please respect copyright.PENANA1g7ObLZEA4
still surrounds her.325Please respect copyright.PENANAf2VBxs0Ojs
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of325Please respect copyright.PENANAajXx5L0hu2
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,325Please respect copyright.PENANAGNb7aIwL8Z
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it325Please respect copyright.PENANAkkjkdkD5RF
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed325Please respect copyright.PENANAANxX9sVj5Y
to name it...325Please respect copyright.PENANArMr0pEqC1Z
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen325Please respect copyright.PENANAC1mVbCIFeZ
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning325Please respect copyright.PENANAUKOZVtdGDC
them until they were heard from no more.325Please respect copyright.PENANAY4z6AYkeff
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable325Please respect copyright.PENANAbeal8wcLhp
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon325Please respect copyright.PENANAe5XetBiNf0
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.325Please respect copyright.PENANAMPovECtJ2h
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that325Please respect copyright.PENANASMl2HhWpoZ
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.325Please respect copyright.PENANA26jqP5RFs9
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into325Please respect copyright.PENANAcc6qHJTI08
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more325Please respect copyright.PENANAVlySqjZBpJ
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely325Please respect copyright.PENANAhRi703LxkU
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.325Please respect copyright.PENANAtsx3xzshWj
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is325Please respect copyright.PENANAbMPMwZ9wN0
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182325Please respect copyright.PENANAAzN4K7clU4
Hair colour: Pitch Black325Please respect copyright.PENANAY1aOezNhvw
Eye colour: Green325Please respect copyright.PENANA18JX2z0kt4
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by325Please respect copyright.PENANAJO63VSC19A
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the325Please respect copyright.PENANAIGfEBVCulh
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got325Please respect copyright.PENANAK8RvJbkg9e
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.325Please respect copyright.PENANAu7gZAH1L2D
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets325Please respect copyright.PENANAwBLx3yvnj9
and rundown houses.325Please respect copyright.PENANAyDnrRAKHdy
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with325Please respect copyright.PENANAcyqoZjB6Ib
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...325Please respect copyright.PENANASIBmbr6F0P
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?325Please respect copyright.PENANAojUmdtguoT
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one325Please respect copyright.PENANAf7WDpseJvp
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?325Please respect copyright.PENANAipixYth04T
Impossible, and yet it was true.325Please respect copyright.PENANAzwa5YlVBGk
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,325Please respect copyright.PENANAqOcDsQJn3X
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor325Please respect copyright.PENANAsnIc3gWNG0
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for325Please respect copyright.PENANAznP1VPWA67
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or325Please respect copyright.PENANAuWNbmw8AbA
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,325Please respect copyright.PENANAGlD3P1juGC
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until325Please respect copyright.PENANAOlumHeLQme
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such325Please respect copyright.PENANAfxYVacIcnX
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it325Please respect copyright.PENANAAxSJFpQ0I5
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*325Please respect copyright.PENANAvgiw6Makrc
or something else of an uncanny nature.325Please respect copyright.PENANAghmIgmRTQz
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -325Please respect copyright.PENANAzsHSU4kD2q
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master325Please respect copyright.PENANABZOLl9M0j7
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as325Please respect copyright.PENANAZMG44u6YVr
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.325Please respect copyright.PENANA6Dgp6XmBpS
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher325Please respect copyright.PENANAM1svSMYgRs
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a325Please respect copyright.PENANAgOgFXmqACG
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon325Please respect copyright.PENANAZlM9jj2eIg
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped325Please respect copyright.PENANARoHeiO3KTP
being produced since the last war.325Please respect copyright.PENANA23rlRW8bo4
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few325Please respect copyright.PENANA1UV5VGfql6
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his325Please respect copyright.PENANAuTd52ZDJeg
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.325Please respect copyright.PENANAFH2PjXF0h4
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word325Please respect copyright.PENANAR2spRlNYVw
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188325Please respect copyright.PENANAbHZaQwf2DQ
Hair colour: Golden325Please respect copyright.PENANA5LvORbVmzW
Eye colour: Blue325Please respect copyright.PENANAFyg0NdD0vH
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and325Please respect copyright.PENANAyJJIgWWbVl
through.325Please respect copyright.PENANA4p7V4FpVyp
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen325Please respect copyright.PENANATJqoR88xAT
stained with flowered scars.325Please respect copyright.PENANAGRYzzsgKx4
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are325Please respect copyright.PENANA8708afy98Q
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being325Please respect copyright.PENANA5CGhJmsRbG
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like325Please respect copyright.PENANANQUbJTIv6m
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,325Please respect copyright.PENANAif3Ahzbvm6
as they get passed across mouth and land.325Please respect copyright.PENANA8xQykmLdpr
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave325Please respect copyright.PENANABb35Rn6ZZX
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned325Please respect copyright.PENANAh1CPGfdBSA
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for325Please respect copyright.PENANA1a5t2eoyVy
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any325Please respect copyright.PENANATBx0pCMXLH
soldier’s orders.325Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ao0yDSjPJ
And that is but the latest.325Please respect copyright.PENANAsciC2uu17g
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is325Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ1WYpeQ7s
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.325Please respect copyright.PENANAh79ZaLUAHi
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems325Please respect copyright.PENANA1YIpgswFy2
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man325Please respect copyright.PENANA9I421Ez9Un
to follow.325Please respect copyright.PENANARDN9z7ZwZv
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader325Please respect copyright.PENANAnoqUZWv92N
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this325Please respect copyright.PENANAMJUsGzfkiG
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
