Deena Elgo
Height: 177111Please respect copyright.PENANA5v6fqlMvg4
Hair colour: Black111Please respect copyright.PENANAwB7hTnwKYn
Eye colour: Yellow111Please respect copyright.PENANA347Y3Yz2Jl
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to111Please respect copyright.PENANAAtecbWTwSb
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to111Please respect copyright.PENANAa0zZFnL1T1
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the111Please respect copyright.PENANA5YB0vcAjqT
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.111Please respect copyright.PENANA4CstCGIPn3
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth111Please respect copyright.PENANAOJGqjO1Wr5
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat111Please respect copyright.PENANAGZeirmZkCx
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main111Please respect copyright.PENANAGyz2KujmQ0
importance lies elsewhere.111Please respect copyright.PENANAp5XuLcjYRL
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she111Please respect copyright.PENANAefRz3iA8pH
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability111Please respect copyright.PENANAnGV5oSLHbj
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed111Please respect copyright.PENANAJgfdjMTFhC
scholars.111Please respect copyright.PENANA6RabWonvu3
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much111Please respect copyright.PENANAIc8XqG2bwr
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of111Please respect copyright.PENANAldxWzZf81P
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184111Please respect copyright.PENANAipqRM1KE0t
Hair colour: White111Please respect copyright.PENANAV2wDlQTIdn
Eye colour: Pale Blue111Please respect copyright.PENANAB2z9rjtBKx
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face111Please respect copyright.PENANA4FLkawqWAc
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered111Please respect copyright.PENANAqMW0kBZoyr
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.111Please respect copyright.PENANAXiQZvQmZu6
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.111Please respect copyright.PENANAzXh4D9tGnL
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to111Please respect copyright.PENANAmeyv4cMgBl
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.111Please respect copyright.PENANAtSvDC0UVRB
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually111Please respect copyright.PENANABtuZZP8xLY
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that111Please respect copyright.PENANAlaLgqbiZTM
Hervies simply could not pass on it.111Please respect copyright.PENANATFc8KlAQ9t
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of111Please respect copyright.PENANARQ238l6Llj
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails111Please respect copyright.PENANA77oXBMCmxR
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman111Please respect copyright.PENANAArwPypLPTz
are not his only strength.111Please respect copyright.PENANAl3steCb2Aj
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of111Please respect copyright.PENANAvdPlkTU6Gr
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making111Please respect copyright.PENANA9z9rzycfCA
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could111Please respect copyright.PENANAFIlRFg2jVq
ever hope to have around.111Please respect copyright.PENANAxqD0pzMpn6
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he111Please respect copyright.PENANAEP6Adzvmjq
have been someone important prior to joining?111Please respect copyright.PENANAhTfcaeG43B
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?111Please respect copyright.PENANACr8EENs5CA
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182111Please respect copyright.PENANA7ueTwi9CZi
Hair colour: Red and Blue111Please respect copyright.PENANAIfN8ylVVIU
Eye colour: Pale Blue111Please respect copyright.PENANAv8VkI5JdJn
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to111Please respect copyright.PENANAGa7fruMNNH
those she serves with.111Please respect copyright.PENANAlX2joGSyqP
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce111Please respect copyright.PENANAqNTauaY4Hl
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.111Please respect copyright.PENANAluWGQxiReN
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of111Please respect copyright.PENANArYccXC9z5D
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.111Please respect copyright.PENANA3Y6lR9gmwa
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery111Please respect copyright.PENANAwWnIeUz8d7
still surrounds her.111Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8Gv7Ujomf
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of111Please respect copyright.PENANAaYwDGoEyj4
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,111Please respect copyright.PENANAoJaPC5lK0b
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it111Please respect copyright.PENANAexEpZO0BpX
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed111Please respect copyright.PENANAS6BNXrvurk
to name it...111Please respect copyright.PENANApOeq23RpJZ
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen111Please respect copyright.PENANAMh7WGIwSga
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning111Please respect copyright.PENANAcWGWhDTyNe
them until they were heard from no more.111Please respect copyright.PENANAl0ucTPHfXJ
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable111Please respect copyright.PENANA23xgdaIkdB
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon111Please respect copyright.PENANAPIhO6jW5Ku
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.111Please respect copyright.PENANAEHBg1ZFOF8
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that111Please respect copyright.PENANADy08l9sUdh
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.111Please respect copyright.PENANAVj8AARPd8e
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into111Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6zqwv0hfM
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more111Please respect copyright.PENANAYEohihYxow
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely111Please respect copyright.PENANAeD2xjP817Q
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.111Please respect copyright.PENANAeMD6bYTiLh
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is111Please respect copyright.PENANAVzmNmmkKaP
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182111Please respect copyright.PENANAqXWA5hSd5Q
Hair colour: Pitch Black111Please respect copyright.PENANAOHsEHEfjp8
Eye colour: Green111Please respect copyright.PENANAdEJCytEkAu
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by111Please respect copyright.PENANAZv6EdcbhCT
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the111Please respect copyright.PENANAOpDDkxas90
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got111Please respect copyright.PENANA7MSfEcJ8h2
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.111Please respect copyright.PENANAvGOq0rQ4CM
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets111Please respect copyright.PENANArCaw9J0u6u
and rundown houses.111Please respect copyright.PENANAqmPqUUpZCA
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with111Please respect copyright.PENANA7VvCoyUkBN
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...111Please respect copyright.PENANAsbrGoeHHrR
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?111Please respect copyright.PENANAAOxrgS3R3c
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one111Please respect copyright.PENANAiMkgvpiQgz
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?111Please respect copyright.PENANAn07qG16gIG
Impossible, and yet it was true.111Please respect copyright.PENANAdp0qbbp0bg
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,111Please respect copyright.PENANAljIsuOwZel
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor111Please respect copyright.PENANAraYTHCS2Om
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for111Please respect copyright.PENANAnlk6Ngk88X
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or111Please respect copyright.PENANAcLcyVw6Feq
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,111Please respect copyright.PENANAnuclQBdAE0
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until111Please respect copyright.PENANAY3LQlLPEjh
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such111Please respect copyright.PENANAUjLtAiSuRy
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it111Please respect copyright.PENANAJVomX1y7NH
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*111Please respect copyright.PENANAHMwUCKQN5K
or something else of an uncanny nature.111Please respect copyright.PENANAn8SpfUA9Pk
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -111Please respect copyright.PENANAegdBnXZzDx
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master111Please respect copyright.PENANAxLxNg5Ph79
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as111Please respect copyright.PENANA2tj7k9GOTr
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.111Please respect copyright.PENANArz17KKfBfx
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher111Please respect copyright.PENANAu0dVWZkR9Y
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a111Please respect copyright.PENANAXpPCkxP6fe
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon111Please respect copyright.PENANAsHiOZrhKf7
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped111Please respect copyright.PENANAtfy9ZoFI07
being produced since the last war.111Please respect copyright.PENANAIgKpb7n9hM
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few111Please respect copyright.PENANAQhm2eDapRD
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his111Please respect copyright.PENANACQeyJeGeh2
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.111Please respect copyright.PENANAp9TgQar9Lg
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word111Please respect copyright.PENANARauwEF6Oe2
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188111Please respect copyright.PENANAEm7LFJUYvJ
Hair colour: Golden111Please respect copyright.PENANAAroRA52kla
Eye colour: Blue111Please respect copyright.PENANAuqrwDV8WU7
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and111Please respect copyright.PENANACU0dj9zFRi
through.111Please respect copyright.PENANAJGSm7rFiAA
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen111Please respect copyright.PENANA1M1DjaR9zP
stained with flowered scars.111Please respect copyright.PENANAIA7iA3VA1u
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are111Please respect copyright.PENANA7dJJceW30g
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being111Please respect copyright.PENANAHdPnasVLmo
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like111Please respect copyright.PENANA47kih2zuY8
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,111Please respect copyright.PENANAi1jN0kBLQM
as they get passed across mouth and land.111Please respect copyright.PENANAirVTPd3vNs
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave111Please respect copyright.PENANAD7yuZQU9uc
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned111Please respect copyright.PENANARrzBhzTTLb
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for111Please respect copyright.PENANAskEkbnswSu
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any111Please respect copyright.PENANAv0Zjzvx2we
soldier’s orders.111Please respect copyright.PENANAgCvik97s0q
And that is but the latest.111Please respect copyright.PENANALzz0LdVrZh
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is111Please respect copyright.PENANAWWMQ4XDsBY
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.111Please respect copyright.PENANAbFjYu3ITQ1
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems111Please respect copyright.PENANAmP8yO1kCd3
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man111Please respect copyright.PENANAFByGZuN6g1
to follow.111Please respect copyright.PENANAa1a8ygPCmK
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader111Please respect copyright.PENANAgjtG6708xf
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this111Please respect copyright.PENANAyjqHdDgzlY
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
