Deena Elgo
Height: 177113Please respect copyright.PENANAxbzxnb1ZiU
Hair colour: Black113Please respect copyright.PENANA0eTZJbAOt5
Eye colour: Yellow113Please respect copyright.PENANAvk29Na1D2b
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to113Please respect copyright.PENANAiMYvNWze4m
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to113Please respect copyright.PENANAwcRnujbvly
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the113Please respect copyright.PENANAobI1wfVBru
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.113Please respect copyright.PENANA0novjPvPKv
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth113Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7mfv31jju
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat113Please respect copyright.PENANA3QJu3SDruf
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main113Please respect copyright.PENANA1c8j7TX9ih
importance lies elsewhere.113Please respect copyright.PENANAl74ei8d1qg
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she113Please respect copyright.PENANAJDsGNF4FYp
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability113Please respect copyright.PENANAMAIApwHFBX
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed113Please respect copyright.PENANAKMW8N0c305
scholars.113Please respect copyright.PENANA09xk8bR6WQ
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much113Please respect copyright.PENANAYt8aGZBze5
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of113Please respect copyright.PENANAD3sEurY9NG
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184113Please respect copyright.PENANAKvjrVn0c11
Hair colour: White113Please respect copyright.PENANAEfXWPkdLbG
Eye colour: Pale Blue113Please respect copyright.PENANAr3Noz0aIw5
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face113Please respect copyright.PENANAJTZlLrEVvT
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered113Please respect copyright.PENANAJK59Btb3mI
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.113Please respect copyright.PENANAqoObhP3M9f
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.113Please respect copyright.PENANAFXD2xSsHQv
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to113Please respect copyright.PENANA27WoUNoCTU
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.113Please respect copyright.PENANATkDwmJvcCr
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually113Please respect copyright.PENANAsxsjGd84Ip
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that113Please respect copyright.PENANAYuI3sPeoRr
Hervies simply could not pass on it.113Please respect copyright.PENANAthsfB91RxU
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of113Please respect copyright.PENANAo25HW4DJva
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails113Please respect copyright.PENANAXrFS9UhGbM
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman113Please respect copyright.PENANAR3VJMvuEcu
are not his only strength.113Please respect copyright.PENANAFETByFY54w
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of113Please respect copyright.PENANAEz25ABvqya
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making113Please respect copyright.PENANATwuDLTEcVk
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could113Please respect copyright.PENANAYryoqjZLRU
ever hope to have around.113Please respect copyright.PENANAR5jr4njBzz
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he113Please respect copyright.PENANANkwMwd3hHu
have been someone important prior to joining?113Please respect copyright.PENANAbBXWae8Zlu
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?113Please respect copyright.PENANAqK4MDyIzRm
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182113Please respect copyright.PENANA43KQT7RZLW
Hair colour: Red and Blue113Please respect copyright.PENANAzvoCPUB209
Eye colour: Pale Blue113Please respect copyright.PENANA3KwW46aVwC
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to113Please respect copyright.PENANAd1EwzMFCt6
those she serves with.113Please respect copyright.PENANAMR1qRmc4jb
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce113Please respect copyright.PENANAzWr1nwyjWL
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.113Please respect copyright.PENANAZsmHQsgo1U
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of113Please respect copyright.PENANA9DaCEBfTvE
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.113Please respect copyright.PENANAYljzKM43AN
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery113Please respect copyright.PENANA3LZXWt1JXh
still surrounds her.113Please respect copyright.PENANABKMzlfEbI7
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of113Please respect copyright.PENANAS54sX4vzTK
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,113Please respect copyright.PENANAvL8EIlj10e
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it113Please respect copyright.PENANAkgxJvMQFn2
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed113Please respect copyright.PENANAxj75vWHcs8
to name it...113Please respect copyright.PENANAfN6NmvE805
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen113Please respect copyright.PENANAu4ufmIWawI
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning113Please respect copyright.PENANAtdb658XrB7
them until they were heard from no more.113Please respect copyright.PENANA4reBzJwhyP
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable113Please respect copyright.PENANAwU27E9hB7M
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon113Please respect copyright.PENANAHkgUEQ6lRx
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.113Please respect copyright.PENANAwq2QCYtWwR
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that113Please respect copyright.PENANAx1KwfEoTGj
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.113Please respect copyright.PENANAmC83XtRsLW
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into113Please respect copyright.PENANA6lQH6qe1Pp
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more113Please respect copyright.PENANApwusibSeAk
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely113Please respect copyright.PENANAOfDcwjh3SB
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.113Please respect copyright.PENANARvtVtjzUOR
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is113Please respect copyright.PENANAiMbnryo1eD
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182113Please respect copyright.PENANA3xoLOsc6Yn
Hair colour: Pitch Black113Please respect copyright.PENANAw055Ymm6L9
Eye colour: Green113Please respect copyright.PENANANIkG5o1Jym
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by113Please respect copyright.PENANAg278ak1NGk
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the113Please respect copyright.PENANAIGXYRmIpWE
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got113Please respect copyright.PENANArR7gmiaJeC
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.113Please respect copyright.PENANAXH2Zf4kJVH
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets113Please respect copyright.PENANAgfNwHjoT16
and rundown houses.113Please respect copyright.PENANAHgGkCHlICJ
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with113Please respect copyright.PENANAp2oHbqNCGN
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...113Please respect copyright.PENANABaLQW0abXi
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?113Please respect copyright.PENANAuOoQxdEcOP
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one113Please respect copyright.PENANAx1Cmsw66zC
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?113Please respect copyright.PENANAig1yBBFYW4
Impossible, and yet it was true.113Please respect copyright.PENANActg5WQatUK
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,113Please respect copyright.PENANAyuV7DCpK0G
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor113Please respect copyright.PENANA1E74IwkJUI
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for113Please respect copyright.PENANAvRRZ9dS2F8
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or113Please respect copyright.PENANA8fJFMp4Sh0
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,113Please respect copyright.PENANA9IJToqgtcZ
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until113Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9ZA48SM8h
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such113Please respect copyright.PENANAJCuXt09We8
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it113Please respect copyright.PENANAOGE6d1YFhs
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*113Please respect copyright.PENANAMEcZU6hgZ8
or something else of an uncanny nature.113Please respect copyright.PENANADE5O4LXRS4
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -113Please respect copyright.PENANAhXj2Ez1Jvv
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master113Please respect copyright.PENANA1zDZbmWDt9
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as113Please respect copyright.PENANAcJwd1svW0w
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.113Please respect copyright.PENANAzkBkLyNJG1
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher113Please respect copyright.PENANAxdW77nsPU7
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a113Please respect copyright.PENANAxowa5zPTGJ
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon113Please respect copyright.PENANA5dsyevObhK
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped113Please respect copyright.PENANAcl055WDoHX
being produced since the last war.113Please respect copyright.PENANATk8DJCeQeN
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few113Please respect copyright.PENANAXXFeuW4urR
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his113Please respect copyright.PENANAusEYAolKrh
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.113Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ5PIYR6p4
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word113Please respect copyright.PENANAEyzkOoJws4
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188113Please respect copyright.PENANAPi5e14IwVw
Hair colour: Golden113Please respect copyright.PENANAELa2qFMnIe
Eye colour: Blue113Please respect copyright.PENANAY03fAla5Kv
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and113Please respect copyright.PENANABRHboP920h
through.113Please respect copyright.PENANA9hHBqKVbz3
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen113Please respect copyright.PENANAtCvUO2oYah
stained with flowered scars.113Please respect copyright.PENANAVxJeTi2owa
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are113Please respect copyright.PENANAGoA92c2yml
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being113Please respect copyright.PENANAaOuB702RkE
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like113Please respect copyright.PENANALhbNcue8nS
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,113Please respect copyright.PENANAuN4oO3HKxg
as they get passed across mouth and land.113Please respect copyright.PENANAjzx0Tyy1rB
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave113Please respect copyright.PENANAKVPqMxIzwQ
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned113Please respect copyright.PENANAW0CAt18ZiO
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for113Please respect copyright.PENANAYSD7IE9ve3
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any113Please respect copyright.PENANA0RGCQYjSUq
soldier’s orders.113Please respect copyright.PENANAzqt7Ew3NWF
And that is but the latest.113Please respect copyright.PENANA5XOBbXC99s
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is113Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ2rgTMuTJ
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.113Please respect copyright.PENANAx3vqJA1PXz
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems113Please respect copyright.PENANAdSABsFR5nM
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man113Please respect copyright.PENANADGmY4fpEfF
to follow.113Please respect copyright.PENANAgSl5Mw4ByC
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader113Please respect copyright.PENANARUuZzp1Wic
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this113Please respect copyright.PENANAHhHe5JJkem
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
