Deena Elgo
Height: 177431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFE9cj9vmy
Hair colour: Black431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGb88UOPtC
Eye colour: Yellow431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B7X4wxBFX
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1arcTmq6y
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5ubCiMHxT
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5m4w4Ybh8
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYzWfhh4nM
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbkOpiphvN
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUarvWXGep
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvvL7UaILz
importance lies elsewhere.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVl0rrdPV1
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUZmkAmsXs
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyaJDmsJtT
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZa5fgEX0g
scholars.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY7TMIJ8Dl
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMzNB3cegn
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ9gFzah3A
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLJyUUvBqw
Hair colour: White431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9EIWqqTZq
Eye colour: Pale Blue431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku6WdZMenu
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWcRbP4ZJr
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB5dzz4Soc
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaySjXNEwl1
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjsc7da89A
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItQliDH3Zs
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcAzLe0DzV
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8t3Y2vF5T
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34NrYj3zdj
Hervies simply could not pass on it.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63YFTdXESv
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPgcw5CKk9
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjvpMZd2hT
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvsuVRyKMK
are not his only strength.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxSRx8IaMJ
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVyOuTcLa1
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5MciIwvVL
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVr1zxPKtb
ever hope to have around.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yJDSNE914
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqhXx4e4Pu
have been someone important prior to joining?431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocnobMuMD7
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMWT8PSNv4
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FOEGiJlg5
Hair colour: Red and Blue431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLIjfpVa6H
Eye colour: Pale Blue431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40x7GICyTf
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb268mSoOjn
those she serves with.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsol86yfM2y
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxTuo2UeMl
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfEZVT6uSh
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY0phiFQU7
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSjkTqFYNy
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXPUpXTZ1g
still surrounds her.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sxRXs3U1z
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6nyeNl0mW
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnR9LwGGBv
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBky6V3AzEC
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G2c8AQZ2R
to name it...431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5T8SzyoW9
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNkemsmcnS
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYdDO2tHvY
them until they were heard from no more.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtVhNvGhF9
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6DAsyHC0R
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNnQfLiOtV
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR32fpzwqOP
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJC8uVWCgJ
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Tc1ZRqFj
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE330jUs4XK
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcBx2ETRox
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKbMvXwupA
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAZi1NlZcz
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvJJ4blucT
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQMU9HWCv9
Hair colour: Pitch Black431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6z0rx23jK
Eye colour: Green431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3XyCIVUHf
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CXGt3lepw
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6AGQRnZZH
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9vR5EYll5
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6YRKGRNie
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHUwO5Cd4t
and rundown houses.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkshHKEUc5M
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1p6aRkerJ
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFmm3QIfpv
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3evXMVMoW7
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I3FVDeCqV
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XhOfytFLH
Impossible, and yet it was true.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdglE8oRuv
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMlnOc4781
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1yDQT9xG5
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0mCchKIva
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmpDT4iCmv
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIVlNFo3fT
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpX5lFx6ln
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrxZfKfFnx
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudX7Ij4fVd
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLTdTcK6wW
or something else of an uncanny nature.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd8G7sFiMF
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUQ3RVsaWE
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpZTi2OSTj
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q8GTyvx3I
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOW8PCn75H
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXAVnAhCbk
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnrHM6NY2Y
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfwthFLduu
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujDlgKnJyT
being produced since the last war.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99LtCDJJvg
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASwskLN1ga
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw2W1iWVRX
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7yVgUHDqB
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbXOpJbKKk
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6prDrAsGVO
Hair colour: Golden431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV0MVIdCLk
Eye colour: Blue431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi19bjljiZ
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNaouwKKXB
through.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIKfC3cN3R
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx30m8AMoyB
stained with flowered scars.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJY80WJk3R
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimYDMcr3pO
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94tCUgfYN1
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2FOeCM3J1
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EnNI1wggh
as they get passed across mouth and land.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9s5lxddfD
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuKkHFEIaU
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sae5S6tJN
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBgwe0Wfj5
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz4x6Y0U7R
soldier’s orders.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgnsdDBFrk
And that is but the latest.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcJaZonmDt
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CnWQENTNp
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mNZtTr38J
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkRPknrS0w
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq4ogP8RBF
to follow.431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7Go3ud7dD
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDIYOMTh6g
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this431Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvACApajaxA
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
