Deena Elgo
Height: 177395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzL4eJXmZc
Hair colour: Black395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFW0iLTc7z6
Eye colour: Yellow395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeLQFUjQiV
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdE0QnDKJN
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cxwyvawTS
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsQuJghBpM
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcgYpGiuRk
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sgptpTy3l
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjQKtctdrk
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AX4tIhLcj
importance lies elsewhere.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1ILrfvU5f
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaqFAsMFBR
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVtDTWD5nZ
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD5FsVHnPM
scholars.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTdROHngCC
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f4z4KklBh
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qdk89QIoA
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfzd2JauDl
Hair colour: White395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsf29XzVmo
Eye colour: Pale Blue395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCbQ4rhvzc
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC7ixWU8Wr
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VMgzeGaBy
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kAKzknEvT
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gAEcj0LeZ
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYycVs0ay2
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbmvu9wLzh
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BexvhHP9V
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7nWMjc82D
Hervies simply could not pass on it.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6V3MhyEjp
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEmetTo71i
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBzuEzUPLn
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiFzlbQkDV
are not his only strength.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0hQuIUHGd
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEHbbJOMMA
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1mDm4bA3U
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NSGwvnyFU
ever hope to have around.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmamxSmZeTY
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoVMWoTBUo
have been someone important prior to joining?395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNp1ofZubi
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ657r1UY5lM
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9NkEnTLBb
Hair colour: Red and Blue395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdaCIlBhEm
Eye colour: Pale Blue395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPHilOZdcV
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeoEntXBOJ
those she serves with.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIebn1FLJJd
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfafEVSVqNW
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcICXyPLhlX
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVd8YDtKx0
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LDOdrlSV8
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddzygFLd75
still surrounds her.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzAhVxkLoU
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1kawKumT1
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWulHAjvTn
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPosZ3n1uON
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58mohobTFj
to name it...395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrzW4MXQ10
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLUVlVLfCs
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX9FRadoFj
them until they were heard from no more.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXuYewq7bS
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDKp5bBJ87
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYZid7TeFN
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPRmLUD0Y1
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI1hv3v3rb
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLjk0jnUTP
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfhtqSQL3M
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekJU2zNiEa
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMusVmNhvA
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFqDNHAAVb
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgnQh2xND3
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEEXOEpnTr
Hair colour: Pitch Black395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFJn64BRx9
Eye colour: Green395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRjNIXiOxy
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBalILPuAQ
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCcIcMz7KN
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQjuYDlqju
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwIbsYmRo2
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zCqxkqKFM
and rundown houses.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDajqYk1k7y
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YqPlxDKVc
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoUNKpUICp
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1Zl19BrxM
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXLoWpdSBc
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbbGa0StFy
Impossible, and yet it was true.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi5XPRNNEQ
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4SwwOFCeQ
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zFoO6TAII
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBTLi3FtOb
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡactsZKbIB2
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOuLHGjbv1
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx1Wm9BQlT
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuZPRc8wrS
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO2a6fgCVh
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCnnyS1qre
or something else of an uncanny nature.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIWfJP4m7b
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Aa7VKOevE
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDhkGGJzJM
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyPfHJh071
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4nGFRGGGi
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oYBLiEs8W
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU17IvvMSzl
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3nAl0tmpn
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY5JAe8bCM
being produced since the last war.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYXQAnUou8
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnFLHrwB2v
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqGjnjprkk
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC5vTqTPUl
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetT54WRcMQ
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cpszMRfLn
through.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElqIUQz4vB
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ29GfsOeI
stained with flowered scars.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplEU3xmfjn
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9RiMe5ZJw
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgqVbGhTB9
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvarRIUE5UP
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvl4pB7lua
as they get passed across mouth and land.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWze27Ng6p
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp3OYe8rMs
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAixlvSzVAJ
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QP71RRcEu
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLL1Kr1O6w
soldier’s orders.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4jEaYtmSg
And that is but the latest.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRHm0VdybG
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnB0SGJuU6
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc8xxk1qjt
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SUacV1XX9
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmkj8MdUAV
to follow.395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k6Udszodh
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVWSxOsY5N
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this395Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i7eThXSr8
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
