Deena Elgo
Height: 177114Please respect copyright.PENANACEyfCHVVJi
Hair colour: Black114Please respect copyright.PENANAfSVM3xSGyZ
Eye colour: Yellow114Please respect copyright.PENANAazhWhaUMsp
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to114Please respect copyright.PENANA8IUidAsmvB
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to114Please respect copyright.PENANAVk9TeiJbKG
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the114Please respect copyright.PENANAaIwvvrfpI8
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.114Please respect copyright.PENANADEIucOtq5j
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth114Please respect copyright.PENANA8hxcYohyRz
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat114Please respect copyright.PENANAMACxRcIPtD
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main114Please respect copyright.PENANAguepvFbvyS
importance lies elsewhere.114Please respect copyright.PENANATMjxdnAWHz
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she114Please respect copyright.PENANAFIIXUymUAH
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability114Please respect copyright.PENANAPCymQFCac5
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed114Please respect copyright.PENANAaVEg7H6D4b
scholars.114Please respect copyright.PENANATX4S8ZI8TU
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much114Please respect copyright.PENANA9XcYkDyWD8
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of114Please respect copyright.PENANAdrIXTkQleF
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184114Please respect copyright.PENANAw8cVVFrvJv
Hair colour: White114Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ740BC0eD
Eye colour: Pale Blue114Please respect copyright.PENANAqIujOIFN9B
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face114Please respect copyright.PENANAeFQizXACeM
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered114Please respect copyright.PENANAR6NrBUEAFq
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.114Please respect copyright.PENANA9w4JWBZ9pJ
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.114Please respect copyright.PENANAqXfymx3oyq
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to114Please respect copyright.PENANAHJXCMxDb7l
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.114Please respect copyright.PENANAeMCRSKPjWR
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually114Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q9YGBIHKb
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that114Please respect copyright.PENANAkTG4TT0qeg
Hervies simply could not pass on it.114Please respect copyright.PENANASFGq0VmLin
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of114Please respect copyright.PENANALXi0h5BiyZ
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails114Please respect copyright.PENANAAW5C8Lzewe
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman114Please respect copyright.PENANAO6Gp7GDNqP
are not his only strength.114Please respect copyright.PENANAk8Ic9EE61g
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of114Please respect copyright.PENANA4DfaJdIEVl
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making114Please respect copyright.PENANAKTpwoHFEEz
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could114Please respect copyright.PENANARjDISnBDuK
ever hope to have around.114Please respect copyright.PENANAn8PV3wumeG
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he114Please respect copyright.PENANAQYYV6IPzvK
have been someone important prior to joining?114Please respect copyright.PENANAfIkfzuVPMb
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?114Please respect copyright.PENANAGLxCb0OL8k
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182114Please respect copyright.PENANAYNcwzHzmmM
Hair colour: Red and Blue114Please respect copyright.PENANAaeE78eMpgF
Eye colour: Pale Blue114Please respect copyright.PENANAw4PMle4ExO
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to114Please respect copyright.PENANANBi2hSiUlj
those she serves with.114Please respect copyright.PENANAB34ZdsqaLY
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce114Please respect copyright.PENANAnJzUwobT6T
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.114Please respect copyright.PENANA0yhQkwC7Qs
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of114Please respect copyright.PENANAcp4VqSpzKN
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.114Please respect copyright.PENANAagGemN6rqt
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery114Please respect copyright.PENANAu7yYczVR0t
still surrounds her.114Please respect copyright.PENANAlPzV1eAxeW
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of114Please respect copyright.PENANAXaq54FYOFp
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,114Please respect copyright.PENANA1n2fzvHwzT
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it114Please respect copyright.PENANA14ZKbtfnvr
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed114Please respect copyright.PENANASFTDrFgAf6
to name it...114Please respect copyright.PENANAWNZ02KiI6n
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen114Please respect copyright.PENANAyi085sVDYO
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning114Please respect copyright.PENANAnOJUKNTc4H
them until they were heard from no more.114Please respect copyright.PENANAJ48M6Md8zC
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable114Please respect copyright.PENANALaoXcEaEd5
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon114Please respect copyright.PENANAWqHIN0wr7F
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.114Please respect copyright.PENANADpZvrWKrY0
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that114Please respect copyright.PENANAmK6QBwWYMm
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.114Please respect copyright.PENANATThow0GIWA
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into114Please respect copyright.PENANAVtKnTJubba
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more114Please respect copyright.PENANAihhoEISWxF
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely114Please respect copyright.PENANAeUNv0uga0g
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.114Please respect copyright.PENANAW2HCwugSf8
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is114Please respect copyright.PENANAV8emE8IGwF
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182114Please respect copyright.PENANAwNxXMGIMxS
Hair colour: Pitch Black114Please respect copyright.PENANA0EBdZXiiq6
Eye colour: Green114Please respect copyright.PENANAYqIwTDF0Qr
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by114Please respect copyright.PENANARRwijc0kUg
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the114Please respect copyright.PENANAXFfbbDvAkl
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got114Please respect copyright.PENANAIbMCdCsztg
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.114Please respect copyright.PENANASslK07aQhn
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets114Please respect copyright.PENANADQuJc6V1O7
and rundown houses.114Please respect copyright.PENANA1BLsVHLn4P
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with114Please respect copyright.PENANAFsM5FEUvoG
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...114Please respect copyright.PENANAOrfUcn1Pxp
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?114Please respect copyright.PENANAYw83Aa0Vtm
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one114Please respect copyright.PENANAgM4Nyz17oc
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?114Please respect copyright.PENANApvbCULdFk3
Impossible, and yet it was true.114Please respect copyright.PENANAEBhoBYmABm
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,114Please respect copyright.PENANAnzO8NgBrBn
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor114Please respect copyright.PENANA6qoXKg1Qbr
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for114Please respect copyright.PENANA9tfyKeF3qD
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or114Please respect copyright.PENANASe304Kd0ll
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,114Please respect copyright.PENANAnxMhA6Tg5R
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until114Please respect copyright.PENANAWDZCsRTCmq
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such114Please respect copyright.PENANAnv5xeeXfzX
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it114Please respect copyright.PENANABMi9vm39NU
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*114Please respect copyright.PENANARCkUzMQBaM
or something else of an uncanny nature.114Please respect copyright.PENANAPGnZQGwi94
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -114Please respect copyright.PENANAn3KMhdL8rf
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master114Please respect copyright.PENANAsFju4Wx0xL
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as114Please respect copyright.PENANANQR13xIVhP
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.114Please respect copyright.PENANAAfxzHIDDFs
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher114Please respect copyright.PENANA6N65JXftvq
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a114Please respect copyright.PENANAsjij2ebEEi
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon114Please respect copyright.PENANAGkkZX69J9V
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped114Please respect copyright.PENANALaO2dNPTle
being produced since the last war.114Please respect copyright.PENANAb4IWQuNuiL
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few114Please respect copyright.PENANAabudQxDQsG
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his114Please respect copyright.PENANALB53gqDPkc
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.114Please respect copyright.PENANAdaLn64wKDN
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word114Please respect copyright.PENANANifEQ0gvNs
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188114Please respect copyright.PENANAbCjOPubvka
Hair colour: Golden114Please respect copyright.PENANAOegtLNOsnf
Eye colour: Blue114Please respect copyright.PENANAOs4UyGPZ07
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and114Please respect copyright.PENANAG7gYmBmFed
through.114Please respect copyright.PENANAVq9ffEmMty
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen114Please respect copyright.PENANAUnrekx5DBm
stained with flowered scars.114Please respect copyright.PENANAqABNcIfKyv
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are114Please respect copyright.PENANA13bkFiJcyx
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being114Please respect copyright.PENANAdMCqAvXE6f
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like114Please respect copyright.PENANA54oUweIF8h
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,114Please respect copyright.PENANA5JNNM17RsQ
as they get passed across mouth and land.114Please respect copyright.PENANActisiCz1uR
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave114Please respect copyright.PENANAXo0vQM4WLk
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned114Please respect copyright.PENANA2056vfAH9B
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for114Please respect copyright.PENANATjoyQOMEe6
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any114Please respect copyright.PENANAmWYzlYQv0k
soldier’s orders.114Please respect copyright.PENANAlJIzgo8RXW
And that is but the latest.114Please respect copyright.PENANAUAwvGN6zEH
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is114Please respect copyright.PENANAXVOpSyz6Jr
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.114Please respect copyright.PENANAg7V51bKVwl
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems114Please respect copyright.PENANAX59QBnDHot
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man114Please respect copyright.PENANA2BVvUFhsZ8
to follow.114Please respect copyright.PENANA36ZYKQY6Vh
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader114Please respect copyright.PENANAYZJZ6mQN7a
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this114Please respect copyright.PENANAwIK8ZVbpqi
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
