Deena Elgo
Height: 177222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlzpFhQ9hY
Hair colour: Black222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZHoO53Du7
Eye colour: Yellow222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsM9jRuB0O
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6LXRf0RWL
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxo791YP48
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIMUzUOpE6
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WoTu0Y6JG
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijpMqALva6
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82HisTikgf
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWZV8i3bcU
importance lies elsewhere.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3RixNifvo
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0pJb5EOvs
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zBvT9vs9C
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef0RpuS5Ie
scholars.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvOGmEWt25
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVCjxE0hq9
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B4UTf9THE
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFug6TbRtj
Hair colour: White222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWfzsFCmRd
Eye colour: Pale Blue222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm3pqd3UYb
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOcIRFj9m2
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHiLOXmPOk
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtix0eUzsuK
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw5GEgDDvB
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42EbKNmxuY
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblphkNnO9b
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOyYRNjHwZ
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgPfdDikE2
Hervies simply could not pass on it.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V4p1zrWnw
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK94Ouqhl2J
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18KDClSaLe
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkxAb5VJFk
are not his only strength.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ddxU28n0u
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDMVfFjg19
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu7wzGfg5A
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gFA46MEWw
ever hope to have around.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo6vdnC7cC
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4vC0XzjNW
have been someone important prior to joining?222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPbbrrzrBa
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMj1oQEgkQ
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMn4yrT5Bo
Hair colour: Red and Blue222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUJtv2BouW
Eye colour: Pale Blue222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5bkO67SZg
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8qH8uB5ys
those she serves with.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUiwhCfmYl
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9VMQm54BL
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYSRr3RXnO
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OpBHT7oZv
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9amBPzH5W
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N9cZS1EtR
still surrounds her.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEs55EDxos
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6HDjHMbEO
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVbqjOwe2h
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jWYpNjvKi
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3tMxHk5sW
to name it...222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdiE99Ync2
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG7rEzAuQO
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ781zV6Y9bi
them until they were heard from no more.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZWD7TGZD5
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwskR1MwBCg
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfgHbGg0lf
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlKwhWkqtH
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oHp4lla2N
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf6FGpwkcA
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZWwep9ExY
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKJgJrpHWt
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3nI8bbJjk
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rvJsXv6A5
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGwPXES9tW
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalQc7wxstZ
Hair colour: Pitch Black222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJsXVuAJrf
Eye colour: Green222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTXdaPXAcI
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORCX6uifmC
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9l6aisBQC
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEakddSom3Z
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLlFROf0Zb
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CGfOwHN3o
and rundown houses.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3gaN3SMY5
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gIR1TL9ll
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0wW0wrseZ
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzW1iGBzd2i
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtH0rXpmlk
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq695BmUc9D
Impossible, and yet it was true.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH78cRUAIw
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzqIgYH7vh
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT9yxgZ7S0
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngRZtXiEmu
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcC3eIZ5Qt
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3JJbyz4hz
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQJ3eIpr1q
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhe03W8UgxA
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX8Xr3aELh
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRbADOhH3b
or something else of an uncanny nature.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk5CaXh81u
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGsdFkTnBi
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKLeuroZIs
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHP4w3QXzX
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuHUsLKrbk
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75UR0L1dGd
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh84ysm3haj
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD2Wvu5xlD
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr4nM1q0VX
being produced since the last war.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLsbE151oB
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj1K8tKFsN
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqjIk41qIu
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vq6Ed3MZk
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx4B9QMl18
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfxce0Cuaj
Hair colour: Golden222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOz5WCduu4
Eye colour: Blue222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAsiCoKqsa
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBs03bjHUx
through.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbURURePj9
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMis5iO8oNT
stained with flowered scars.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotmKxLLeWy
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCvwJM1aEH
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sqkV1onRN
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A9BRLVHPZ
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ6G8MCTeD
as they get passed across mouth and land.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDIurQ3SAf
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6GlcnGTep
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bafynrYub
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7hdKi8RlE
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQxdWOBNfj
soldier’s orders.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprVoty9Eax
And that is but the latest.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcnjLxiwN8
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAynOoNw06
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF6OTVJC2n
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCV6VIOOge
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPeRruXwYU
to follow.222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO9mC09gNy
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU2AuUs0Us
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBWeWAq2hy
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
