Height: 177299Please respect copyright.PENANABaLi0Sbm6k
Hair colour: Black299Please respect copyright.PENANAxrV7ExiZUU
Eye colour: Yellow299Please respect copyright.PENANAOQJ3JvYr0i
Weight: 33 - 2
Adopted from an early age by the modest Elgo family, it is rumoured even to299Please respect copyright.PENANAwCCxLGgCr8
this day, that she was originally of noble origin. Like most, the path that led her to299Please respect copyright.PENANAkE8XTGzMww
eventually serve in the Hand is shrouded in rumours and speculations, but she is the299Please respect copyright.PENANAtUMEwlqsdT
first Human woman to do so - and that alone is quite the feat.299Please respect copyright.PENANAYkMgbbpBQd
With her raven hair and yellow eyes bordering on orange, she has proven her worth299Please respect copyright.PENANAPlmq5Ll1mo
time and again and while being extremely capable of felling most opponents in combat299Please respect copyright.PENANAI9ysgngUh7
with her agility and her speed - her main weapon of choice being the whip - her main299Please respect copyright.PENANAFaH9THk3s1
importance lies elsewhere.299Please respect copyright.PENANAvkbhfT1fcs
Her most notorious skill lies in linguistics for, after showing a clear aptitude, she299Please respect copyright.PENANAFUzOqv3UkH
has been trained from the very start to speak any idiom; this includes even the ability299Please respect copyright.PENANA1M0demOH11
to translate the ancient Centra texts just as easily, if not more so, than most reputed299Please respect copyright.PENANAVhDa4Z953W
scholars.299Please respect copyright.PENANAcljFT07pwg
This ability alone makes her an invaluable member of the team but there is much299Please respect copyright.PENANAgoOVAB4OSm
more to her. Deena can also be seen, frequently, as the calmest and most collected of299Please respect copyright.PENANAM8FLLcJ2P2
the four serving under Dhanel Marce.

Harigar Rhim
Height: 184299Please respect copyright.PENANAb5WN9eRqNB
Hair colour: White299Please respect copyright.PENANAC3bBQ2F60F
Eye colour: Pale Blue299Please respect copyright.PENANAd3kpPdGc74
Weight: 46 - 4
Completely dressed in black and with tattoos of the same colour all over his face299Please respect copyright.PENANAOn6eYp9NIS
that so strongly contrast with his white hair. This extraordinary swordsman entered299Please respect copyright.PENANABHT11NFVYv
these elite ranks years ago and he did not do so at a young age.299Please respect copyright.PENANA8c0dZNh3mI
He was already a fully-grown man when he came to the castle to volunteer himself.299Please respect copyright.PENANAukw7XliGc8
He originates from the tribal village of Naruun, deep within the vast deserts to299Please respect copyright.PENANALIVax0vVqO
the south where tattoos, and other more ritualistic expressions, are a tradition.299Please respect copyright.PENANARAkdxZWfZb
The ones on his face are proud symbols of a successful rite of passage and while usually299Please respect copyright.PENANAcuVvbV2S9t
such brands are forbidden within the Human military branch, his skill was such that299Please respect copyright.PENANATH855GnzVM
Hervies simply could not pass on it.299Please respect copyright.PENANAcrzV7qfwGj
As for weaponry, he favours but the one: a thin-bladed sword holding the powers of299Please respect copyright.PENANA6NAQX4cvm7
lightning and one which he is most skilled with! His somewhat elongated fingernails299Please respect copyright.PENANAp2mOcux67h
on the hand that wields it are a testament to his abilities, but his skills as a swordsman299Please respect copyright.PENANAwBez2JVx3t
are not his only strength.299Please respect copyright.PENANApwAUrV2uxS
Harigar Rhim also has the ability to understand and pick apart any known piece of299Please respect copyright.PENANAjkRzuaXeZu
technology. He has even been successful when paired against Nharkim tech making299Please respect copyright.PENANAK3hhuhyEKg
him not only one of the best soldiers but also one of the best engineers any team could299Please respect copyright.PENANAEqCFxpdk4E
ever hope to have around.299Please respect copyright.PENANAHb4ADE70Xq
Any life he might have previously owned is now shrouded in mystery - could he299Please respect copyright.PENANAHyZa9FSmlu
have been someone important prior to joining?299Please respect copyright.PENANAo1k8FJqNxi
A prince or a thief perhaps? Did he come seeking, or running?299Please respect copyright.PENANAi5ky2DSHST
A story for him alone to carry.

Celle Erbe
Height: 182299Please respect copyright.PENANABN5F4nUKcI
Hair colour: Red and Blue299Please respect copyright.PENANACoNSov5xvq
Eye colour: Pale Blue299Please respect copyright.PENANANwp2S477aj
Weight: 37 - 2
Most of the things concerning Celle have always been kept a secret to all, even to299Please respect copyright.PENANANuhQ3Z39cT
those she serves with.299Please respect copyright.PENANAt6XnQT3zfO
And what very little is known about her background is thanks to Dhanel Marce299Please respect copyright.PENANAnJpIazToAH
and his persistence in always wanting to know about those who are to work with him.299Please respect copyright.PENANAWN8vhGv97U
It is even rumoured that Dhanel Marce first refuted the Human king’s direct order of299Please respect copyright.PENANAhSI9O1Hlbw
having Celle join him and his men, regardless of her power and promise.299Please respect copyright.PENANAdgEcfUIsIA
Truth or nay, only two can say, but the fact remains that to this day so much mystery299Please respect copyright.PENANAfjnwatXH5S
still surrounds her.299Please respect copyright.PENANAhoV8BcOLyN
The supposed last descendant of a bygone race. The Elvorides, once the guardians of299Please respect copyright.PENANAuyVPO0TRfA
many treasures of the ancient world, the preservers of older things now left forgotten,299Please respect copyright.PENANAi9EkuLSg1l
keepers of memory; but they were also the most gifted amongst all species when it299Please respect copyright.PENANAsvUhNbjy8Q
came to the handlings of natural powers... or magic as the common folk once deemed299Please respect copyright.PENANAecLumg59q2
to name it...299Please respect copyright.PENANAQtljXOzmEn
The Elvorides were at the very top, once, before all that technology and stolen299Please respect copyright.PENANAuWrM1whXK0
knowledge came gallivanting into the hands of the lesser races effectively dethroning299Please respect copyright.PENANAWyK65cWhH4
them until they were heard from no more.299Please respect copyright.PENANAhmVAlXizcI
As the last of her kind, Celle possesses unique strengths making her most formidable299Please respect copyright.PENANARz0m0GONJs
on almost all fronts. In combat, she carries with her a strangely designed staff, a weapon299Please respect copyright.PENANAkmdNMBc717
created by the best, working under Human rule and built following ancient schematics.299Please respect copyright.PENANACcaSQ0eGWY
A weapon to supposedly help her control and channel her inherited powers; a gift that299Please respect copyright.PENANATibo48QFBv
unlike any other here is meant more for focus rather than augmentation.299Please respect copyright.PENANAWTcApkG4u0
Thus, unlike the rest, she is not mainly dependent on her weapon to charge into299Please respect copyright.PENANAUo9oVKeruf
battle; she does not need it nor any other enhancements to call forth some of the more299Please respect copyright.PENANApni8CsuWBF
unnatural ways at her disposal. She can be just as deadly while battling completely299Please respect copyright.PENANALoPNtFg6DH
naked for her power is herself and as such, she usually deems others as inferior.299Please respect copyright.PENANA4pDAG6RGcO
It would seem then to most, after mere moments of witnessing her, that there is299Please respect copyright.PENANA5LSXtVaYKX
nothing that Celle cannot do.

Lorian Krass
Height: 182299Please respect copyright.PENANA29nKreCbvc
Hair colour: Pitch Black299Please respect copyright.PENANAU8myloM62b
Eye colour: Green299Please respect copyright.PENANAtuKxC2uzGR
Weight: 45 - 4
Found a few years back as the sole survivor of a burning village to the West by299Please respect copyright.PENANAo61AwZV94x
veteran soldiers stationed in a nearby garrison. As reports go, the men spotted the299Please respect copyright.PENANABVX4ANQEfi
sudden, tall fires from afar and came as fast as they could, but by the time they got299Please respect copyright.PENANASGvQCQssR6
there they found nothing but charred stones and burnt pieces of wood.299Please respect copyright.PENANAoKMJw2lHUk
Corpses of animals and farmers too, plenty of them, laid strewn across the streets299Please respect copyright.PENANAq7U3blr7MZ
and rundown houses.299Please respect copyright.PENANAqQgZL07aip
Still, following the mandates of duty they scouted and searched without hope with299Please respect copyright.PENANAPZriyVQyQi
the ever-gnawing doubts always on their minds... questions like...299Please respect copyright.PENANApixpLQJyTb
What were they supposed to do? How were they to report this?299Please respect copyright.PENANAH8U5npjkFI
Thoughts swirling inside their heads, but then all of that came to a stop when one299Please respect copyright.PENANAw1rS6lci6J
of the men ahead began to repeatedly shout something – a survivor?299Please respect copyright.PENANA5xKWgL4n66
Impossible, and yet it was true.299Please respect copyright.PENANAq0lMTlkyRz
They all ran to meet him; a confused and naked young man sweating profusely,299Please respect copyright.PENANAnrlqSX52xr
without any clothes or memory, his body so cold to the touch. Thus, the quiet survivor299Please respect copyright.PENANAlOxdrdNkTL
was brought back to their garrison. They tried to question him while waiting for299Please respect copyright.PENANAwVxr3Pyggp
instructions from the castle, but one can only go so far with a man without voice or299Please respect copyright.PENANA5n7ZQOctRf
memory. By direct word of his majesty, he was to stay a few more years in that garrison,299Please respect copyright.PENANAlGONCPaSYy
under the tutelage of captain Krass who was to instruct him in all sorts of ways until299Please respect copyright.PENANAMLRpyQSIql
the time would come for him to be brought to the castle. As for the reasoning of such299Please respect copyright.PENANA1tOx9OrElM
a mysterious fire, no concrete answer was ever found – those that were witness to it299Please respect copyright.PENANAUEAfobJWMp
reported it as they saw it. In time most learned to toss it up as the doings of a phenom*299Please respect copyright.PENANA76uc9VUFyJ
or something else of an uncanny nature.299Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ9f0WP7SF
Due to his time under Krass’s tutelage - the man who would also name him -299Please respect copyright.PENANAPx66wOx0fv
Lorian, developed many skills before he was summoned to the castle: he is a master299Please respect copyright.PENANAabdZApGMXJ
tracker the likes the Hand never had, he is also an expert on biology and botany, as299Please respect copyright.PENANA7KQxCH7XGQ
well as most capable of crafting, and healing, most known poisons.299Please respect copyright.PENANAzxMxvP7kxA
In combat, he favours the usage of light armour sacrificing protection for a higher299Please respect copyright.PENANAxhJtpTO1aP
speed of movement much like Harigar Rhim, but unlike Harigar, Lorian is not a299Please respect copyright.PENANAXpQWS20XJE
straight-out swordsman. Instead, he relies on a curved blade named ´kagra´, a weapon299Please respect copyright.PENANAYoElXMlEZ5
that was usually paired with a buckler but now one very seldom seen as they stopped299Please respect copyright.PENANANTUqMVF67F
being produced since the last war.299Please respect copyright.PENANAt983xWneFx
When not hiding his face with a hood, Lorian displays short black hair with a few299Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xcp6RK8QZ
brown stripes in front that are longer than the rest, a somewhat stern face despite his299Please respect copyright.PENANAjKczfyS02k
relative youth and a pair of determined green eyes.299Please respect copyright.PENANAKxun6MQCIA
He never speaks; his voice was never once heard since he was found, never a word299Please respect copyright.PENANAC4LoWCmK0m
and whether this is by trauma or by choice, is to this day still undetermined.

Dhanel Marce
Height: 188299Please respect copyright.PENANAxVyWTKbI9Z
Hair colour: Golden299Please respect copyright.PENANAOV8mljKexz
Eye colour: Blue299Please respect copyright.PENANAH6FPH5MvZe
Weight: 48 - 4
Finally, in charge of them as it always has been, a hero-like figure through and299Please respect copyright.PENANAI7ebEsXG3M
through.299Please respect copyright.PENANATFp3Dahyno
Blonde flowing hair and pale blue eyes escorting his fair skin that often can be seen299Please respect copyright.PENANA4NTj8bz9tn
stained with flowered scars.299Please respect copyright.PENANAKSHHg4Ar0N
Many are the tales surrounding Dhanel Marce and while arguably they are299Please respect copyright.PENANAdsINEfWqrO
supported by some popular folklore, all of them share the same principle of being299Please respect copyright.PENANAflzmX9tW0d
portents of great bravura. Stories growing so popular that they become almost like299Please respect copyright.PENANAlodpwd4Wo4
those epic tales one can find in the narrations of those with wilder imaginations,299Please respect copyright.PENANAuklGbziwQS
as they get passed across mouth and land.299Please respect copyright.PENANAPh0stouzZW
Tales such as his latest venture where he singlehandedly went deep down into a cave299Please respect copyright.PENANAl1DwbSzD0n
of Zabduans - Human tribes that evolution seems to have missed and are renowned299Please respect copyright.PENANAegbU3lt6ga
for their fierce, and some even say, cannibalistic ways - to save a dame left there for299Please respect copyright.PENANABsXJJeWACJ
some sort of sacrificial rite. A cave deep in the Pedenke jungles a place far from any299Please respect copyright.PENANAfab8nG4AIV
soldier’s orders.299Please respect copyright.PENANAF86e5Ei0At
And that is but the latest.299Please respect copyright.PENANADRItOZA1Ol
So, it seems that the undisputed leader of the five, the thumb in that kingly hand, is299Please respect copyright.PENANAHF6EPNOG8F
a man willing to go the extra distance to do what is right.299Please respect copyright.PENANASds8uS37vb
The instructions he gives might often not be his own but of his king’s, but he seems299Please respect copyright.PENANAFddN5kCAna
to always manage to deliver them with a certain power that makes him an easy man299Please respect copyright.PENANAokOQkr2mnQ
to follow.299Please respect copyright.PENANAh7NHWmxl3r
Dhanel Marce is a man that irradiates confidence and assurance as only the leader299Please respect copyright.PENANA2P09dmyri5
of the Hervies’s Hand can and so, having told all of this, it must be noted that this299Please respect copyright.PENANAybj1yNpm15
champion has never failed his majesty... not once... not ever...
